BDK nerfs. why?

I’ve posted on the thread (class tuning post):

@Chernobyll-malganis

I don’t even know how to start to describe what this nerf is.
First, they developed this tier bonus and have never considered how much the damage output from a blood DK could scale. And we aren’t even 3 months into the season.

Now the Nerf does not only affects the damage output, which doesn’t really address the problem (the strength bonus stacking). The bonus should’ve been capped to limit the damage output.

Now, reducing the 2p bonus from 0.5 to 0.33 will reduce roughly 30% DRW uptime. That will probably reduce the damage output but at same time it knocks Blood DKs to the bottom, and we’re suddenly back to season 1. If this change is not reverted until you can actually come up with a more proper nerf to address the damage output (cap the Endless Rune Waltz stack from the 2p tier) without drastically reducing the survivability (and at same time, the viability) of the Blood DK, I believe that you’ll start seeing a huge reduction of Blood DKs in high keys (and guilds raiding Mythic right now having to gear another tank to replace their Blood DK they invested so hard).

Why so salty when your overperforming?

It would be worth giving you some context because you’re so clueless right now.
But at same time, it would be a waste of time, since you don’t even understand what the nerf represents to the class, I will just leave at this.

@Wariya-stormrage

awesome! now buff us

Sadly that is not how it works.

Prior to tier sets, DK was not a tank that you’d bring to pug m+ due to the spikey health pool. Now, you won’t again.

The correct change would have been to cap the strength from DRW while increasing the threat from blood boil.

I go back to season 1 where you barely had 1 BDK in the top 100 tanks in raiderio.
There is going to be a huge drop in BDKs participating in high keys right now because the nerf makes them simply not viable.

In addition, it hurts a LOT mythic raiding guilds that had their BDK tanks ready for progress and will have to switch to another tank.

@Humanbeak-drenden

Are BDKs mad that they went from soloing +20s to soloing +19s?

If you are going to troll, at least be an intelligent one.
