Blizzard Silently Nerfed Dual-Wield Killing Machine Proc Rate in Shadowlands

I believe you are the only one whining here. Take a chill pill and walk away, go talk to someone. No idea why you are only negative on here. There is more to life than complaining on wow forums.

Yes, unholy does have a stacking mechanic, but its not based off of the amount of weapon attacks, but by Festering Strike. Your argument keeps getting worse and worse that you are just grasping at straws.

If you are talking about back in the day as to limited to WoD, yeah, sure
 but thats not the entire story and in fact people would go DW because of armor pen and Frost damage completely bypassing it. Obliterate was and still is to a point, affected by armor. You could lose a lot of damage in pvp depending on who you were fighting and Frost Strike would do a lot more damage than you think it would. Also, there are videos of DW pvp frost dk’s hitting very hard with Obliterate. 28k in wrath with DW in pvp. If your entire argument is “2h do higher yellow damage” then its a faulty argument.

I don’t blame you. What you also miss about Unholy is its Rot Damage.

Right now, Frost does more Rot Damage than Unholy. Notice the emphasis on Rot. It’s something currently Unholy lacks and it’s going under serious identity crisis right now.

It’s mostly minion damage and not the healthy mix of the two on top of GCD taxing system known as Festering Wound is what Unholy is what it is right now.

Oh yeah Dk is flowers and sunshine
 OH HAPPY DAY. Sorry but I dont like things that are designed like a baby threw darts at a poster and thats just what they went with.

In fact thats what Blizzard said it was, it has a focus on diseases and pets. Dont know why they changed it since its a good design philosophy.

They said Frost was DW that focused on spells and RP generation.

Blood was a dedicated tank spec that focused on healing itself.

Where they lost these design philosophies
 I dont know. The only time I really have fun with Unholy is in timewalking where I can have more pets than a Demo Lock. The disease is just there for epidemic to be honest.

Oh and those pets explode.

you apply based off the number of times you press said attack, right? so if you’re using faster swing time weapons, would it not also restack faster?

people like you are always the same- they think they’re right and everyone else can go to hell if they disagree.

No, they wouldnt restack faster because its not based on weapon swing timer and based on the rune system.

Yes. I am right. Festering strike costs runes, you can only apply staks of festering wounds based on your rune timers which is not linked to weapon speed but haste and runic corruption procs.

I think it’d be nice if you could have 100% uptime is what I’m saying there.

Why? Its fine right now isnt it? I mean thats what you are saying in here. So which is it? Is it a problem, or is it fine?

I’ll just dabble in copium and say that it’s probably an unintentional nerf.

I think it has to be.

and the global to use attacks is based off weapon speeds
 er go more stacks reapplied.

“yes, i am right.”

The damage is indeed fine for 2H, it outperfms DW as far as we can tell. Gameplay-wise, it’d feel better if you could maintain the stacks more consistently.

No, the global cold down is not based on weapon swing timer, its based off of the amount of haste you have.

Thats not what you said, you said its fine that the stacks fall off.

So which is it? Is it fine that they fall off, or not?

the base of it is weapon speed. from there, it’s altered by haste and other mods.

It’s fine from a 2H vs DW damage perspective. It’s subjectively not nice from a gameplay perspective.

No, the base GCD for everone is 1.5 seconds reduced by haste.

THATS NOT WHAT YOU SAID.

I said 2h drops stacks. You said thats true, but its fine. That means you are saying that its fine that it drops stacks.

You even said that the people in the ptr forums are wrong when I could link another 20 people saying that it happens so often and feels so bad that something needs to change for 2h to the point they would just still be running RI, while DW can still run FC and another enchant.

You said these people are wrong yet agreed with them. Seriously your credibility is being shot here. You keep changing what you said for 2h hype purposes. Thats it.

Christ. As I said, I think it’s fine from a DPS perspective but not from a gameplay perspective. I don’t think you’d ever pick up Razorice just to have higher uptime. The value of going to full uptime vs partial uptime won’t equal picking up Fallen Crusader instead.

Says the person who doesn’t have any credibility whatsoever.

You are simply twisting my words here to make it seem like I contradict myself. I’ve clarified what I’ve meant, I feel like that should be sufficient.

I think it’d be nice to up the KM proc rate (which is why I was so excited for the new proposed 2p) so that we don’t drop the stacks in a single target scenario (both for DW and 2H).

Do yourself a favor and just ignore Kell. Since their very first post on these forums, the only thing they’ve ever done is complain and throw out opinions without a single ounce of support. They don’t play in any content whatsoever and have no grasp on how mechanics actually work. If you look, you’ll see their post history is nothing more than whining and arguing.
