Hexblade Hex Cooldown

Post by Good Character » Fri Jan 08, 2021 2:41 pm

Currently, it exists on a 30 second on/off cooldown. The issue I have found is that it still remains too long of a cooldown.
The class feature feels like it was only oriented towards PvP or boss-oriented creatures.

Solutions could be refreshing it entirely when killing the Hexed target or allowing every kill near the Hexed target reduce the cooldown by X seconds.

It does refresh when you kill the hexed target. There's a slight delay I've noticed, but it do.

Ah ok. I swore I had seen something like this in an update, but couldn't find it. Does it prep the green text when it goes off cooldown this way?

Sometimes but not always. You can just use it if and if it's off cooldown it will work even if it never said it came off.

It only refreshes when you personally get the last hit on the hexed target. If a party member kills the hexed target, it does not seem to refresh.

Perhaps it would be better if the hex would just refresh if the target dies, regardless of how?

I'm pretty sure it refreshes on the target's death, regardless of who got the kill credit, but I could be wrong. It sounds weird because I've been leveling a hexblade to 30 and never noticed issues when party members kill.

For me if someone else killed it it would refresh on my next kill. Sometimes it glitched and it just took 2 kills no matter what.

It refreshes one round (starting when you hit a target) following the death of the previously hexed target no matter who kills it.
