Thoughts on where DKs are at in general, not asking about specific specs just in general. How are we feeling about the class as whole in its current state?
You dont want to know lolā¦ā¦ā¦..

Been rough as a DK lately
As an unholy player weāve -
- started out pretty good
- got hit with an over the top nerf and killed our viability for a bit
- had bugs āfixedā and was given a slight buff
- was back to being pretty good for a bit
- had the buff nearly fully revoked
not sure where we sit at the moment
all of this over the course of about 10 weeks

Iām basically forced to sit down, pull up a stool, and watch rogues and paladins play.
Thatās our current state.

Unholy: is still one of the bests DPS specs on M+
They buffed the spec when was alredy doing great (Dont ask why), than the spec became super OP and got nerfed (People complained mainly about the magus nerf instead of reverting the buff partially)
The spec has some problems even doing great, they designed in a way that is too bursty I rather have commander of the dead reworked or changed and the more added baseline damage than nerfing magus.
Aside from that unholy was well received and is strong in M+ and do good damage on Raid but there are much stronger specs for that.
Frost: They remade frost as a constant and predicable damage dealer than they introduced the Apex that only interacted with a 1.5 min CD (Wich no one was using), than the spec got trashed in M+ but is now one of the best raid specs (Better than unholy for now).
Blood: Its main tanking ability and identity got nerfed wich made many mad, so far blood received 8 buffs (1 is a bug) after the prepatch, thats one of the most buffed tanks in this expansion but it remains as a mid tank to low tank not even close to the big winners.
There are many things that were introduced in Midnight and every talent and new thing got rejected (2 minor exceptions) by the community either because is too weak and dont see play or annoying to play around.
The tanking feedback for a long time in this expansion have been ignored (Thats why so many tanks are getting āhuge buffsā after āhuge buffsā now because the demographic decline in the tank population was too high), BDK was not so different, but thats by desing according to an Dev, he assured that he was satisfied with only one mega strong spec, way better than others and BDK was not one of them.
Frost and Unholy are in a better shape than most thats why the class is so popular, is belivied that Blood is gonna be reworked because is a old spec with many clunky tools it barely changed since Cata.
If we were in the TWW I would say that every spec got it niche (BDK had big damage even being weak on meta ), Frost is better than everyone and Unholy was a AOE monster.
Now I think that unholy is doing great, frost is doing great in Raid and Blood dont have anything better compared to other options (Looking at damage, sustain, endurance, mobility and utility).

Blizzard does not like that.
Fair warning.

Canāt do algh academy, no true stun breaker. Its been yrs since this class hasnāt seen a rework. Groups have stop inviting due to the bad reputation devs have inherit into the class. For now, playing this class is a total wasted time. Itās not a skill issue, is devs donāt want anyone to play the class. Unless a players that likes playing BDK as a strong supporting group, then best is to stay away and play something else.
I play the class because though it was going to be challenge, but in all fairness, there is nothing challenging about playing something that has been universally categorize as tier B or C. Best is to stay away. At least when it comes to M+ . Yes, they are players who have reach lv 20 keys and more.. but they have a strong support group. Unless a players fall into such category, then best is to leave BDK along.
I still want the stuff lost going into legion
Its been better than it has been but I still miss the stuff I could used to do

Devās hate Blood
Frost is a joke
unholy is pretty much a melee evoker but with pets and low powered dots.
all Dk specs are Devs training dummy for Mjƶlnir nerf parsing.
