the love is a joke and at best it will make BM's beast in the BG's whoop dee doo!!!


they could have fixed our horrid rr5 ( i know people are going to come over here and say its great. if its so great what do you use it for besides wilsoning back to a tower?)

They could have upped the damage on TW but no they give it a useless effect that most good BM's already spent hours of their lives crafting in TNN so they could have it up permanently.


BM's need a small but much needed offensive boost. Something that puts them inline with the other 3 light tanks Mercs, Zerks and Savages. However the chance of them receiving it due to Mythic's long history of not wanting to give the blademaster class any TLC what so ever is small.

Here is some food for thought, of the light tank/dps classes (Savage, BM, Merc, Zerk). Only 1 has an RR5 that prevents it from doing anything offense. Blademasters, the other 3 all get something that they can pop which will mitigate damage and allow them to continue fighting...

this might sound nuts, and it probably is, but what about giving them something along the lines of nightshade magic? Not so strong though, just 1 short range (700ish) isnta DD on a 10 sec re-cast time. A slight bit of extra burst DPS, and a nice little tool for interrupting.

yeah I know password, chicks dig confidence, but I don't wanna get yelled at.

honestly, as much as I love the idea of more rupt, i would also have some nice damage screenshots to brag about.

Making TW a good offensive tool, and making BB a good defensive tool would already be a huge benefit, and it wouldn't be too hard either.

Something like making TW hit for about ~120-150 additional essence dmg, removing the whole parry BS from BB and add on it melee & magic crit immunity (currently it's melee only) would still leave BMs far behind zerkers dps-wise, and behind mercs utility-wise, but they would have something unique to them.

It would be nice if TW could duplicate the weapon you're using in your MH for procs and damage type(if a legendary), probably pretty hard to code though.

This is going to be a rare event but I have to agree with awsten on this one.

The thought was neat but unless it goes below the 1.5s swing cap AND leaves Celerity charges in tact, it is pretty meh. Surely Mythic will see that and do something.


I'm pretty ignorant about BMs, but AFAIR Tripple Wield is mainly (or used to be at least) a mediocre DA only, why not actually have it perform an additional melee attack as if you're swinging 3 weapons as the name implies? You could give it a 100% chance to double swing the OH along with the MH, maybe leave the DA if that's still there, and call it a day?

Just shooting blindfolded though, just making some sort of suggestion that just makes sense due to the name really.
