Steer clear of subjective terms like OP and UP.

Interesting idea, but could be used in a Very powerful empathy combo.

EDIT: yoIyo yes, numbers would be changed, but what about the idea? Makes Dreadknight almost the BM of warriors with this and empathy. Coupled with a change to Empathy so that only .75 of each HP lost goes to its damage, making its ideal use have a tighter window?

By the time a DK's DoTs are off, Empathy is usually already at full power, or will be after a harmtouch use.

This would make DK destroy, even with the health sacrifice..

I think DK needs a need more than a buff... They are a tanky class that can deal a shit ton of damage

 

[Dsawemd]

Maybe this skill could make the class less tanky, and if used wrong, would leave them worse off?

Add in a DoT to the DK in addition to a smaller self-hit per connected swing (with increased dmg).

Adjust the DoT to the point where if the DK is being kited at all (some?), the health drain on the DK is hurting them more than the skill is damaging their opponent.

Dreadknights are fine damage wise. (They suck in groups, I'll make a post in the morning)

 

[HeythereHitman]

It likely also needs a better name...

Made it less...available for use.

Dot could interesting but you might as well use wither or poison. Its effect wouldn't be as unique if it was Dot damage

You misunderstood me, I meant adding in a DoT on the DK, making the skill leech health at a steady pace in addition to the health lost in return for damage, requiring the DK to be careful about when he uses it.

edit: or you understood me and yeah, Wither would work great here!

What about for runeblade?

What about for runeblade?

I thought the name sounded very Runebladish, but the effect would have to change, then.
If it were for runeblade, perhaps give it a blind for three hits or something.

Oh thought you meant on the target, maybe 15 dps dot for the next 5sec + 15 damage to self on hit

Digger 360 DK's are fine in teamfights, provide 2 slows in which does damage for peeling off your squishy classes, other is Disarm/ Curse for those melees that get behind your front line.

 

[macura]

Also terror is silencing for some reason....

Maybe if the DK lost 100hp and dealt 50 per swing(or 100-75/50.

 

[HeythereHitman]

That would allow people to abuse the ability because of the inexistent penalty per swing.

Edit:Or are you talking about the class itself?

 

[Haxnn]

Although it is a cool idea, I see no need for it.
