Certainly the 20% nerf is a joke Right?

Unholy, definitely good. Definitely deserved a bit of damage reduction for sure.

But 20% across the board nerf has to be some sort of early april fools joke, right? I can ask my lawyer if we can sue, do any death knights want to join me in forming a class action lawsuit for this egregious form of violence being perpetrated against the death knight community who have put hours into gearing for raid/m+ patch?

let me know.

No u dont have blood. This spec is literally cursed. 0 changes to our survivability for this upcoming tuning, or the 12.0.5 patch… blood is dead on arrival and will only be used in raid for grips when needed as usual… bdks are quite literally the squishiest and lowest dmg tanks this season… DB doesnt even beat SL with these buffs…

Blood is the weakest out of all 3 DK specs.

I’m happy DK got nerfed. It’s been too strong for too long now. Good riddance, time to open the meta for other specs.

Yes the two weeks Unholy was so strong was so long, nothing compared to 3 seasons of war within Disc, or that singular season in war within where Unholy was good. (what are you talking about?)

Mages literally always have a meta spec. DK struggles to even have a viable playable accepted spec. God help the whiners when DK actually shines. DK is the most hated; own it.

My experience so far is that in ST unholy is ~20-30% ahead of frost, but like 5% ahead in AE.

so a hard 20% nerf will put ST on par with frost, and AE far behind frost.

meanwhile I’m told that other classes are on par with unholy’s current output.

So why nuke unholy instead of buffing frost’s ST ?

Not to mention the joke that remains frost pvp.

You are so clueless. Tell me which class was the top DPS spec, or second best the entirety of TWW? It was DK. S1 it was frost dk. S2 UH. S3 FDK again. So don’t try to spew BS on the forums when you can easily verify the meta for yourself just by looking at logs.

Wrong. Mages do not always have a meta spec. They were not meta as much as dk in TWW. S1 meta was FDK Aug and enh. S2 it was UH and arcane. S3 it was fdk bm and ele/havoc. Please try to look at the facts before spewing BS. You make no sense. I am not whining either. I don’t care about the meta, I play mage regardless. DK is not the most hated, mage is just based off your “mage always have meta“ comment. This is false. Look at warcraft logs M+ statistics and you will see for yourself how low mage is. In raid it does have more success though, for example S3 arcane was on top. From your comment it sounds like you are the crybaby “God help the whiners when dk actually shines.” Oh boo hoo. if mage is nerfed to the ground I could care less, unlike you.

Your comment makes me feel like you are a casual player. You act like UH wasn’t the best, or one of the best specs in the game for M+. The highest rank title pushers are using UH + arcane. You saying UH was never ‘good’ is complete BS. I wish I could see statistics on logs just to prove it, but their website is down for that season, so I can only look at the top percentage of keys.

Yes, without some substantial changes to UH’s cleave, it’s effectively dumpstered with current tuning.

theaon problem with yhe devs is that they tune nased on end game gear and stats

that is a problem becuase most of us dont get tonthat end point til thw season is almost over.

sonthe journey to get there is made atrocious

unless you play magic rdps

mages get buffed?

what?

warlocks amd tats all 3 are stilll op

evokers are great

now

these changes arent seen until you hit mythic raids or mplus + 15s to 20, which it seems the devs balance around

Mages didn’t get buffed. frost was left alone, and fire aoe was nerfed. Arcane ST was increased because it wasn’t doing too well. UH ST was 30% ahead of any other, and both specs were 1st and 2nd top ST.

frost and arcane do very well becasue they dont need cds to do damage, all their rotational skills do very good damage

UHDK has poor damage outside of cds

Now== 0nly magic rdps are left as good classes– theyve officially removed melee from relevance

one of the 3 is always op, and its been that way since day 1 of release 20+ years ago
