Comment by Linaori> Killing an enemy with Eye Beam has a 25% chance to convert their Soul Fragment into a Demon Soul Fragment.

While this change sounds really great, it feels like a niche. Why not change it to "while in metamorphosis?" Because unless you have weak trash mobs in a group, you won't be using Eye beam to kill mobs all the time, as it risks wasting your Demonic and Furious Gaze window.Comment by Voreniousget ready to put on your echo or eonar everyone...Comment by KveldssangNice, I always wanted to have a pet with my warrior.Comment by Nehem> Killing an enemy with Eye Beam has a 25% chance to convert their Soul Fragment into a Demon Soul Fragment.

The second one only rewards you for taking damage(ie tank or pvp) and the numbers seem lackluster at best and probably still needs to be tuned higher.Comment by FlenethKinda done with Demon Hunter unless they change them again before SL release. Cycle of hatred/unbound chaos meta feels horrible to play. When people were complaining about Havoc's simple rotation I don't think they meant make it even simpler by binding all of their damage into one spammable key. The only time you will stop spamming chaos strike in a raid is to eye beam and combo immo aura with fel rush.

Just sucks because of how much fun the class used to be.Comment by TwistedMetalKinda done with Demon Hunter unless they change them again before SL release.
