Can BDKs get a nerf?

Blood DKs are sooo ridiculously broken and they are just going to be even worse as gear levels get higher. They are a Tank, a Healer and a Dps all in one with the numbers they are pulling. I don’t understand how nobody sees this as being way over the top.

What are you talking about.
At the last boss in the last dungeon my BDK did, he did only 18k dps, second to the top DPS who did 21k, and he healed only 2.5k hps, while the healer did 3.7k hps.

Wiped on a 10 man and our BDK tank continued to fight for a full minute solo on the boss…Broken isn’t the right word. :joy:

I know I’m a DK but what if instead of asking for nerfs you ask for buffs to everyone else?

I rather have everyone being turbo OP instead of turbo worthless

Then same logic should be applied to healers.
We’ve had 2-3 healers die on 25 heroic encounters and myself and other healer would keep the raid alive for the last 30% or so.

Does that mean healers should be nerfed too?

From now on, DKs are the kings of self sustain. They health bounces A LOT, so if DK is able to keep himself alive, it talks to his skill.

Why would anyone want to get their main tanks nerfed? Because you picked a warrior and now you’re salty? Prot warrs were kings for years in Vanilla and TBC. In Wrath it was paladins. Now it’s DK’s turn.

So in your mind soloing a boss that wiped the entire raid is to be expected and normal?

All I said is they were broke but after your comment I want them nerfed, way to go sunshine…

They don’t need nerfs they need to be deleted from the game. :wink:

Agree, nerf prot warriors.

I personally would find it interesting if they try to do new patch balance simply because I dislike having the same classes always at the top and this would probably mean doing something about this but Im not sure a lot of people would like this or care.

This would be nice. A lot of the specs I like to play are at the bottom, or middle ground at best. They did balance passes in Wrath, so hopefully we see it happen again.

Never had a bdk. This tells me you know nothing and just invents garbage for your narrative. But I do not you scrubs always want to bring down something that you don’t play yourself. Git Gud or get out.

Just do better dps.

They aint gonna balance at this stage, but my blood dk does over 10k hps on sinestra, so I almost don’t understand why other tanks need to exist.

its 4.3, BDK will scale better once in DragonSoul gear because everyone else will be just as good

It also has to take like 30-45% more dmg than any other tank, and provides no raid utility.

Doubling down on being wrong eh? Blood DKs also have Abomination’s might, blood worms do aoe healing for melee dps and have the most broken magic defensive cooldown in the entire game that just lets them ignore mechanics. They also don’t take significantly more damage than any other tank, and can even build their blood shield when they’re not taking damage and just absorb their entire HP bar in physical damage before needing any healing.

I would say nerf them. But honestly my guild gonna need them lol. Definitely for firelands.

That’s false. It mitigates some magic dmg and can prevent SOME status effects. It doesn’t completely negate the dmg if it’s high. Blood worm healing is pretty tiny. BDKs have next to no raid utility lol. People just MT them because they’re opting to zerg through dmg with healer CDs.

Anyone can look at logs and see BDKs taking SUBSTANTIALLY more dmg than any other tank with similar gear. That’s their whole niche as BDK. They can’t heal more unless they take more dmg.
