I have 4 tanks at item level 445 and 2800+ IO. BDK on Tyranical gets one shotted on many Boss mechanics such as “Molten Crush” in NL, “Sand Breath Uldaman”. It’s the only tank with this problem, I can only avoid it with a defensive up but sometimes I don’t have one ready. In previous expansions we would have extra health compared to other tanks, which doesn’t exist anymore. Even prot warrior has as much health as BDK. This needs to be fixed. I know about the “active mitigation” of Deathstrike. It’s not helping.

Well, considering there are BDKs completing 29 and 30 keys I’m going to go with PEBKAC.

- Try running anything above +20, seeing that your highest key ever ran was a +12.
- Never said it couldn’t be done. Running a +29 is possible, but we shouldn’t be one shot as none of my other tanks are ever in danger of a one shot.

post a log here or in the dk discord and get torn apart. only then you can start to improve and avoid “one shot mechanics” bdk has a very different way with dealing with tanking in general compared to every tank in the game. comparing it to prot warrior is not really a fair comparison. if naything vdh is the only thing comparable to bdk
im pretty sure its just a issue of not pressing lichborne or icebound or ams, or not having enoguh bone shields, tombstone, or not pressing dancing rune weapon or vampire blood. really the reasons are endless and frankly cant be accurately identified without a log

DK has plenty of buttons to avoid one shots, as do other tanks. You just have to use them. Vampiric blood is up frequently enough to not need other things, Lichborne (talented) Icebound Fortitude, etc.
You’re playing a class that takes massive upfront damage to deal with it after. Don’t play it like you’re a reactionary class. Doesn’t work that way anymore.
If you need more advice, feel free to ask for cd rotations or anything. Have timed most keys at 27-28 as BDK.

You have to press a defensive or get an external.

I mainly play on EU but thanks for proving it’s a you issue. Maybe try pressing buttons correctly as the others have already mentioned.
Our armor and hp should be higher than what it is right now in my opinion. Would help smooth out the health pool yo yo during large pulls.
On a side note I wonder if the Vulpera racial would be a help for DKs? Maybe not since 1 shot mechanics dont come at first strike. Would being Tauren, HM Tauren, or KT help at all?
You must be running the wrong talents in those particular dungeons. You can have a defensive up for every single one. AMS cdr is huge as is red thirst. You shouldn’t need it at your key level, but those boss abilities are the exact reason that BDK plays rune tap in the highest of keys.
Go sit down bozo that response was roasting your +12 key, if anyone need to learn anything its you. Goof
Can you try in english?
why would you revive a two week old thread sprouting cringe stuff

Can you read English. I forgot an s on needs but you can’t read what it said because you got that pressed by people roasting your 12+ key. Go sit down bozo.
If you removed your head from a certain location before attempting to try and roast someone on the forums, you’d realize this account hasn’t run any keys. I play on EU, which I’ve already said. But please continue just regurgitating the absolutely dumb thing someone else said, it just makes you look even more foolish.
Ironically, you apparently can’t do anything above 5s for the most part, so if I had only done a 12 key you’d still look childish.
ams negates, tombstone can soak, ibf, lichborne … you will have one of these up for every molten press your buttons with meaning. can rune tap with these as well. really think its just you
same as above.
your warrior hasnt done any 23+ keys so im not sure how you are comparing things here.
