Dark Transformation

[Araxie]

I got to look at the new Dark Transformation Skill in action Today. When Doing Damage to a Target the Ghoul gets a Buff that increases Damage (I think it goes up to 50% increased Damage Total), and upon reaching 5 Stacks he Turns into -



I think it's Really sick. It looks really cool, and it does A LOT of Damage. I like it, and It's nice to see an actual Physical change.

Thoughts?

is it really a dps increase? cost a 1UH rune wouldnt ScourgeStrike better in pve?

[Abomnivous]

Increasing a Ghouls Damage for thirty seconds is well worth it the SS would hit ONCE while the super-ghoul will continue DPSing at double capacity over the course of those 30 seconds it could easily replace the SS on damage making it a worthwhile investment .... that and... IT LOOKS AWESOME!!!

If you death coil while the transformation is active does the buff get refreshed?

I'm not Sure, sorry. It's something I forgot to Ask.

[Terradii]

i doubt it, that would be way too OP

[Wingwraith]

Per Consider, the ghoul does not get additional stacks until the buff wears off.

I mentioned this in another thread, but I would like to see a minor glyph implemented into the game to change the empowered ghoul's appearance. Maybe into a Patchwerk or Rotface model.
Needless to say, it looks pretty damn awesome. I'm looking forward to playing Unholy in Cataclysm.

You'd use it in place of refreshing bone shield imo

[roboscorcher]

I wish you could do this to you Army too lol.

Or not. Bone Shield is a Blood talent now.

[Sojourner]

Mini Patchwerk or Rotface would be silly, and we're supposed to look scary.

Anyway, to refresh it you need to spend another Unholy rune to activate Dark Transformation again after stacking Shadow Infusion up to 5 again.

The only problem is that after 30 seconds after Transformation the Ghoul disappears. And you have to wait for a CD before resummoning your Normal Ghoul back.

It disappeared for me atleast, could be a bug.

Most likely a bug. Otherwise it would be a pretty big dps hit when the ghoul wasn't active.

hope they dont nerf this seeing as DKs are a hero class and therfor are ment to be a bit OP and uniequ

please troll elsewhere.

I think it's one of the coolest things implemented in the expansion so far. Hopefully it'll stay, nerf or not.

Whats the transformation animation like?

[Saverem]

WOW...

Maybe I should level my DK instead of my ever-gimped Warrior for Cata.

DKs are getting some AWESOME spells and fun mechanics!

[Oragan]
