Since the Death Strike healing and Necrotic Strike nerfs DK’s have become much less viable in competitive arenas and require an overall damage buff. These nerfs are made worse by the recent damage increase to most other classes like WW monks, Warriors, and most other melee and ranged classes. Meanwhile DK’s were left untouched with the said nerfs. This resulted in a very uneven environment. The 2v2 and 3v3 ladder speaks for itself: DK’s are the least represented class in both brackets. Simply stated, DK’s lack consistent damage outside of 1.5 - 2 minute cooldowns. Even when taking those cooldowns into account, they are easily avoided or countered by many classes with unique mitigation techniques. In many cases, DK’s just simply do not do enough damage compared to other classes.
A lot of the said issues can be fixed by bringing DK damage in line with the rest of the classes/builds. I’m calling upon the game developers to introduce a patch that would put the DK class on a more even scale with the rest.

nah but seriously DKs are perfectly viable after the nerfs that happened while being a bit less redic so I think they did they’re job
DK’s are like A+ to S tier. I think they’re better on ladder than in an AWC setting but this is a git gud situation
Didn’t read past this but they need another round of nerfs because they are still too strong.

DKs don’t need a buff at all, but like every other person I’d like to see Destro/Fire Mage/MW/DH knocked down a peg

As a Dk main, I can confirm that our brains indeed work in strange ways

I honestly agree with him, necro being 4% just isn’t enough and ams gets popped way too easily by destro and fire. Deathstrike heals aren’t that impactful anymore, and if my bloody ghoul dies 2 times per match just from getting clipped by stray aoe it begins to grate on my sanity
So if they nerfed destro and firemage then you wouldn’t need the buff yeah?
you’re wrong actually, a buff to destro and firemage is a buff to death strike
