DK Survivability makes the class completely useless in pvp, but it is such an easy fix:
1- remove pvp talent “bloodforged armor”, this should be passive/baseline for non-blood specs
2- make PLATE armor actually reduce physical damage as it should (I don’t know why this has to be said)
3- UN-nerf Death Strike on PvP ← important one!!! 50% nerf is absurd
4- make death strike un-dodgeable and un-parryable and un-affected by any type of healing reduction
… Done, that’s it, simplest fix ever
is solid. Death Strike shouldn’t have 3 talents just to still be a mid but essential ability. All three talents should be baked into one, or at least Improved DS with Bloodforged Armor in its place.
Wouldn’t agree with this across the board. Warriors and Pally’s don’t need this. The plate reduction didn’t hurt them as much as DKs because these classes have real mitigation defensives. The 30% armor reduction to plate impacted DKs more than the others by a lot. Revert the plate armor nerf for DKs by giving them 30% more base armor.
Death Strike was broken but the nerf was still heavy handed. I’d say meet it half way.
I don’t agree with, especially with lines 2 & 3 implemented. No class should be immune to healing reduction but that’s just my subjective opinion.
1, 2, and 3 would make the class feel significantly better though.
They’re gonna fix the class with this fridays PvP tuning. They’re also nerfing fury damage, removing frostbite and banning premades from epic bgs. It’s gonna be great.
I can only dream…
you have some good points, lets say 1 should be implemented completely 2 yes 30% un-nerf to dks armor and 3 maybe a 15% nerf instead of a 50% nerf
Devs have no idea what a win these would be.
Frostbite is obscenely annoying, fury is obviously overtuned, but premades for epic bgs is literally an allowed and intentional exploit of the game mechanics and just organized bullying/griefing. Super disappointing to see that it’s gone on this long.
guys you are losing the focus haha I know there are some broken massively overtuned classes but lets focus first on the ones that can’t play the game because the class is trash = DKs
its pretty nuts that frostbite doesnt at least have an ICD, a single frozen orb locking you in place for 7s absurd.
They could at least make it 50% effective so it just burns root DR
agreed that should have an ICD and also roots should have a DR
I totally agree that DK is top 2 worst melee with enh shaman rn, but I’m still not convinced it won’t be at least okay if fury warrior actually gets nerfed. I watched petkick and mvq beat every team at the top of the ladder yesterday with the only loss I saw was to a cheese win where a boomy silenced petkick and he died to sudden demise.
In a caster meta dks might be ok, but its not just warriors. The top representation of dps across all brackets by spec are ret, hunter, warrior, and ww, all which dominate DKs because they have nothing that can withstand physical damage. In my (limited) experience this season (because f this meta) hunters were a bigger issue than warriors were because at least I can cleave a warrior.
