  1. Thanks for another informative video. I think the nerfs to Execution Sentence might've killed it for PvE. In Raid I can't see it beating out Righteous Verdict, especially once you start coupling in the conduits which both buff TV, and will therefore scale on TV but don't interact with ES to my knowledge? In PvP ES might still get used due to that 1-minute burst pressure and synergy with Final Reckoning, which will still likely get played in PvP because the other options simply aren't as effective. As always, we appreciate the timely content and stuff to think about.

  2. Pretty interesting breakdown. Definitely looks like the FR/ES combo isn't a must get anymore. Which imho is good, since I don't like needing a HUGE setup (like the 3-4 GCDs it needed for the insane ES crits) to channel everything into one big hit, feels too…"arcade game-y" I guess would describe my opinion on it.

    And so, you're going Kyrian ? I'm considering Venthyr tbh, for a number of reasons. First, aesthetics: I loved the whole vibe of Drustvar in BFA, and Revendreth seems to be more of this. Plus, as a Blood Knight, it kinda makes sense. And there's Kael'Thas there, so there is that.
    More importantly, I like the Door of Shadows ability, I feel like it offsets our lack of mobility a bit (I've also played Outlaw and Fury quite a bit, and used both the Grappling Hook and Heroic Leap abilities quite a bit to move in/move out). And Ashen Hallow has its issues, but overall I like it as a "big burst" button.

  3. Well, this is just unfortunate. Such a big nerf to ES was quite unfair, and I think it was done because it was wrecking people in PvP. Why not make it deal less dmg in PvP like other abilities then? Oh well.
