Dark Urge Slayer form sucks

[marbeltoast]

I killed my party.

The little goblin butler guy told me to kill my loved one, and I did, and then the others turned on me, so I was forced to kill them too.

That's fine. Dark powers require dark sacrifices.

I was... I don't know, expecting something a little... better? This form sucks. It's actively worse than not using it because of how the sudden change in play style between the sneaky, assassin type character you're lead to playing by the cloak of "turn invisible when you kill someone" (which actually IS a good item, and I adore) but then suddenly you're a lumbering lummox who hits like a nerf bat, and all but *requires* you to have some form of multi-attack, AND doesn't have ANY ranged damage.

It says a lot that when I played moon druid, Owlbear Form was SO MUCH BETTER THAN THIS. This sucks. Please make it feel fun for how much of a hardship it is to get. I killed my party, for Bhaal's sake!

The slayer is good enough I think. I don't understand why you had to kill all those people however. I just had to kill one cleric in Last Light

All I had to do was kill the cleric in Last Light. Ngl the fight after was a PITA on tac difficulty. The only member in my party to die was Lae'zel when Shadowheart killed her.
Oh and I assume Gale, I chewed his hand off and have not seen him since.

It looks like a keeper from mass effect lol

Yeah, it really needs to be massively buffed. For what it is, just turning into it alone should be enough to scare the hell out of your enemies for a few turns too as well.

So the most boring way to play Dark Urge.

It sucks , I remember when I got it, decided to unleash it on the gyth ambushers in act 2.

With my gloomstalker/ assassin I could solo the entire patrol , same with my Monk/ thief and when I used the slayer I got rekt without being able to even kill one of them . They just stomped me like a bug.

I had 65% hit chance while my normal form had like 90% at that point, also my normal form was dealing a ton more damage.

The slayer form is also once a long rest thing so you would expect it to be an IWin button once a day especially given that he sacrifices you make to get it but instead it is just meh.

Never did I play an evil dark urge again after that.

The final reward from Bhaal is equally laughable especially given that it’s right at the end of Act 3

A single use of Power Word: Kill… that’s all? One single charge and it has to be someone with less than 100 hp and can’t be a giant so can’t even use on a dragon or a really big creature.

For a lvl 9 spell that’s hilarious, my main could deal 300+ damage a round at that stage , a single use of PW: Kill is nothing and for that I have to give my soul to Baal and kill Jaheira and Minsk on the way out.

Thanks but no thanks .

Yeah, but I didn't want to kill the cleric. I wanted to please Kethric Thorm, and that meant keeping her alive.

It really just a free full heal.
