They claimed they fixed the "hitch" from DH in the last mini-patch. In my experience I quit running DH entirely. I either have to burn it extremely early (pre-swing from killer or to get to loop 100% guaranteed) or it fails. I used to time my deadhard based off sound cues, when I would hear wind up for a lunge I would press button.

This no longer works. I will always get exhausted effect and see deadhard proc but get no movement and get hit every time. I dont know what they did to fix the "hitch" but I have gone to running lithe since the DH as a perk seems worthless now.
