Lets be real. DKs were almost unkillable. Death Strike has no cooldown.
At first glance these nerfs look heavy handed for sure but we wont know until they are live

i think it’s pretty easy to do the math. It almost like an overall 65 percent nerf. Thats insane. like i really dont think I have ever seen something get hit that hard. Like with ret wog in beginning of shadowlands. That was extremely overturned. Then they slowly tuned it down. This on the other hand, was like a truck, all at once.
how to kill a dk:
burn thru consumable defensives
burn thru runic power
/dance as there is now nothing the DK can do to prevent his own death.
one thing to understand about DK is that our resource systems are very easily overwhelmed and will fall into a death spiral, we can stay alive for a long time, but unless something external changes the situation we are essentially already dead, its just taking 50 steps to get there, this gives the illusion of being unkillable, but it is only an illusion.
right here
he did the math look man. This not freaking good
fury warrior will outheal dk
death strike now heals for 12% of dmg taken

you know if the season started with no dk nerfs, nobody would ever even target dks because of how unkillable they were

the major issue is every single time they have done this exact nerf to DS in the past it gutted the class and only the most die hard of die hard mains played that season and they did not have a fun time. and this has happened multiple times in the past and the result was the same every single time.
this is basically us being told we are not allowed to PVP this season, just like S1 of BfA and S1 of SL.
if they want to nerf the class, DS is not the way to do it, our survival model is too closely interlinked with the spell and very very sensitive to changes.

s1 of sl frost dk was very strong tho, were the nerfs really harsh, sure they were. but dont act like dk didnt need nerfs
no it wasn’t, it managed to find a niche as a chains dispenser in 3s. that was it.

frost tsg was an s tier comp lmao, it was absolutely insane. and dk is still going to be strong, its damage is still insane, its just gonna die now
it was not S tier and it was not fun.
it definitely was S tier, rdruid frost tsg was one of the 4 best comps in the game, do you not remember heartstop aura + delirium, spear chill streak goes just destroying people?
i remember it being middle of the road, ret and war were the EZ mode win.
but frost tsg hard countered ret warrior lmao
even if the comp worked, a chains dispenser isn’t fun.
frost tsg was very good, i got my first 2700 with it season one.
that said, we never pressed death strike lmaoo. Im thinking it will be similar now.
but back then it was like 20% healing i think? now its 12% which is even lower than season 1 SL
the comp didnt just work, it was monstrous. frost dk also was the one that won the games with chill streak setups too soooo
