Increase assassinate dash damage

I'm pretty sure it won't help because of the damage cap

 

If you could do the dash attack on ledge without moving then it’d be fine. I think there are situations you can’t dash.

 

I just imagined shad trying dash-attack on HT MH falling off, just like rush failure on warriors.

added : if pressing 'up' key triggers dash attack without dashing, that would be great.

 

I'd see this more as a nerf to shad mains than a nerf to multishad, tbh.
Nerf nate enough and multishads will just bstep.

 

Then shads lose their ability to quickly KB using nate dash which is one of the few interesting tools they have. Even if you wanted to make a change like this atleast give challenged shads a fair amount of hp before you send them to dash into touch damage all the time.

There's so many interesting and fun ways you could go to close the gap between multi and single client shads if you wanted to but this would just be bad for everybody playing an already mediocre class.

 

This would be a great change. I approve.

 

Like others mentioned, in some situations dash is not possible (ledges, pin at edge of map) but cannot also mean instant death. Dashing Core Blaze for example, for challenged or not washed enough shads, will be guaranteed death when shifter and avoid decide not to proc (Why does touch have to be so hard to begin with???).

If nates damage is to be made more meaningful, dash or not, removing the damage cap on it would be a nice (but probably OP) start.

 

Dash is ass right now. If you get hit during nate, the dash doesn't come out most of the time. I think theres an active suggestion asking to make dash possible while in the air. Even one miss a minute hurts dpm. On some smaller bosses you have to turn after each dash to hit. Overall dashing is terrible unless your in smoke and even then you better have SE. Not even sure if shads needs buffs right now.

 

Maybe dash in and dash out as one unified move with iframes could justify the two lines. Could be a way to express skill too as a pseudo parry. The tradeoff would be needing to reposition by turning around, which is harder to do for multiattackers.

 

You really just described bstep (which is 2x assaulter, basically the same thing).

 

More dash, more iframe, more damage, more zig zag swag.
Jokes aside, it'd be cool if dash could have either iframes or be chained into another attack (savage blow).

 

hmmm this is interesting discussion, would the ideal end-result of this suggested change be something similar to bucc's barrel cancelling, where you can press more timely buttons for more dpm, but there is no need to reposition? dashing up does sound like a novel idea.
