Class debate

Hello all, debating between maining my Unholy DK or my warrior (fury/arms). I mostly pvp but may push some keys as well so utility is nice. Any reasons you feel DKs are superior to warriors or more fun? Thanks!

Forgot to swap over to my DK for post :sob:

Is your war lvl 70? Doesn’t look like you have much invested in dk yet. You could toggle them and decide which feels better.

Warrior isn’t 70 yet but I plan to get all my characters to 70 at some point just to have. Not a bad idea tho. I like big juicy hits and I know DK is more DoT/Bleed damage. Not sure if they get the same kinda big hits an arms or fury warrior can get. If they can I’m happy to hear how and from what :slight_smile:

From what I’ve known playing as a DK, Frost in particular can get some decently big hits through 2H Obliterate builds. It’s not as effectice as BoS builds, but if you’re looking for “Damage Per Screenshot”, it’s the one way I know how through DK.

When it comes to Unholy, it’s much more focused on Pet Damage, and other than that I don’t know if Unholy gets any big hits.

Thanks for the response. I just know frost is railroaded by blizzard tho so I don’t think it’ll be viable this xpac

It’s honestly comparing apples to oranges. UH is very strong, has a very nice kitand fun to play. Fury is also in a good spot with damage, mobility and has good self sustain too. I think arms is more viable than frost. But one thing to note is that arms needs a healer to be effective as they don’t have the self healing that fury has. 10.0.5 has given arms ignore pain which was what us players were wanting for a defensive skill. Overall it’s personal preference and what you want to play. I go with warrior though. :wink:

I understand completely, lately I feel I can only be of any use during BoS, which hurts considering if I Breath before the boss in dungeons, it runs out and I’m useless for the part that matters. But this FDK is my first character, and I’ve grown attached.

Honestly, my vote is on Fury Warrior. Unholy is currently a plague-giving Demolock at the moment from a glance, placing diseases to make your pets hit harder. Fury is Fury, and watching a little dwarf wield two swords bigger than them will always be amusing.
I have no experience with Arms at all and cannot give any feedback.

Thanks for the feedback. I’m sure both options are viable. It’s probably just a get gud moment

I’m an unholy main (can’t swap toons atm for some reason):

1: commander of the undead. Automatic win. Death magic = best magic, better than anything a warrior is.

2: I find unholy very satisfying when you do the rotation correctly, going in, naked SS, slamming CD’s, watching the numbers fly… apoc feels so good to press visually, alot of good buttons (imo of course)

3: DK’s are just better. :slight_smile:

Tank: Pwar is miles ahead other tanks.
Dps: Fury is way better than unholy and frost while being easier, less punishing, and having a smoother rotation.
Unless blizz buff DKs, warrior is my recommendation.

I’d go DK man. Arms Warriors are forced into one build pretty much. I thought mastery stacking with full bleeds would be fun, but i just found out my bleeds are nerfed 60%+ in PvP combat, and Thunderous Roars CD is also 30% longer on top of that.

Based on this, speaking for DPS, you’d have better success overall with a Warrior. Frost is essentially a dead spec for the content you listed, and while Arms has problems, it’s still better than Obliteration Frost, which is what you’d be forced to places in M+/PvP. Unholy is doing fantastic but it’s definitely not for everyone, and if you don’t like Arms you always have Fury to fall back on.
