Playing windowed with ddraw prevents movies from loading.
Lol... strange things happen. Started the game with DD, suddenly the mouse bugged around in main menu. Started a game, and the screen was even more buggy as if my graphics card was about to explode. Wanted to record it to show you it won't work, minimized the window, maximized it again and - all works perfectly fine. switched to glide and back to DD again, but now it stays that way. Nice.
Thanks a lot!
The 5 seconds of black screen before each start and before each time you enter a game is still there though (didn't test out the act switching yet).

You're misunderstanding the skill. It's smaxed eagle stance + bear stance combined and doesn't generate fury.
Looked at it again and yes, it doesn't generate fury. On lvl 120 (fresh, with no charms) with this skill maxed it has a duration of a little more than 8 seconds, grants 20% DR (Armor and spear already give up to 30%) and 100% in 7,2 seconds. Sounds really nice. What makes me not want to use that skill is still the part where you have to walk through the globe. It's not like I didn't use that skill upon reaching level 6, and the globe's animation seems to be somewhere where the hitbox isn't sometimes(not always). And it really doesn't feel good walking into lots of enemies in order to apply a buff. I'd rather stay with Takedown for now, which increases my defense, attack speed and grants me Laek for about 15 seconds. So yeah, I really don't have skillpoints left to use on Hyena Strike anyway. It's probably a lot better later in the game, when you don't want to rely on your items for the DR and the Laek from takedown isn't enough.
