Let’s ask Boromir what he thinks about DHs going un-nerfed.
Wow. Truly insightful. That man has his finger on the pulse. Not his own pulse, of course, but the pulse.
DHs are like middle of the pack in raids.

OP isn’t discussing raids. The DK nerf specifically targets PvP, primarily the amount of healing deathstrike does per strike. It received a flat 50% nerf.
And the OP’s right. DH’s are ridiculous right now. In PvP, DK’s are also ridiculous. DH’s should have had something tuned, or at the bare minimum, mana burn should have been taken out of the game considering the devs removed mana burn from everything else because they believed it was a toxic mechanic.

Like can we have some feedback on the death strike % nerf reasoning ? its an overkill for no reason. Who’s the ape from blizz who calculated the numbers i would like to see some blue math posted here.

If you actually pvped you would know that DK’s are literal tanks in any spec cause they can just spam Death strike while there healer drinks

Well, DHs have better mobility and damage than DKs. If DKs had better self healing, then that would support the idea of different classes having different strengths.
And who wants that? Isn’t what we all really long for is a game where a handful of specs are amazing at everything and everybody else is just SOL?
I woudn’t be posting this if i didn’t arena you should check people achievements before opening your potty mouth. Highest you’ve ever been is 2.2 5 years ago. Sit down world pvper. kekw
And speaking of dks dying. They flop in damp.
Well then your just ignoring the facts and i have no time for people who have a bias.
Funny people who are in the top brackets like Cdew Vangaurds and all the other top pvpers / streamers say this is a needed nerf, but we should trust that one guy that kinda pvps.
And no DK team goes to Damp, they either lose or win to Burst, or the healer goes OOM. Again a sign you are not in touch with the current meta.
Has science gone too far or is this picture true? xd

Not sure if trolling or serious tbh.

Honest answer, this is probably due to caster cleave comps. DK is one of the only dps which can chase someone down behind pillars, enter the enemy caster team’s area, and train something into the ground with reckless abandon between death strike healing, AMZ, AMS, etc.
I’d wager this is hugely related to the fact that in the current game, most caster comps can’t kill a DK by itself because AMS is up so often and so good as a defensive. But Blizz doesn’t wanna touch that, so they touch deathstrike healing instead in case the DK puts himself in a bad position, and can be punished accordingly.

Waaah!!! Waaaahhhhhh!!! DH is so dumb and edgey and stupid op!!!
Hilariously embarrassing when people unironically post this noncery.
A destruction warlock or fire mage can kill a dk with a decent setup. Shadowpriest can win in rot down. And well boomy and elem are just not good spec in pvp atm.
As for chasing people, people often forget that dks are actually one of easiest kiteable melee outside of cds. If you’re a shaman, druid or monk healer (or even holy pally with double freedom) and know how to play a dk can’t keep chasing you forever,
And there’s a lot of melee that can chase throught pillars, that’s mostly a range thing. But mages can too.

If anyone things this nerf was in any way justified, they are heavily, heavily mentally impaired.
Look at each boss, not overall. Thats where you went wrong.
Also all percentiles? Seriously?
Respectfully, you and I will have to disagree. In 2’s and 3’s, UHDK is the anti caster right now. I don’t care about blood DK. I’m talking UH. UHDK has asphyx, ranged kick, AMZ, AMS, DS healing via transfusion, pet kick, pet stun, and grip. The amount of tools a DK has to stop someone from casting or performing if they have to stand still to get a cast off is insanity.
Destro warlock and mages are also outliers, and are also being nerfed in those patch notes with all mage specs receiving 40% nerfs to their shields in all three specs, thus making them squishier and destro warlock receiving a 60% nerf to damage reduction from melee and a 6% hit to stamina from demon armor. Both those casters you’re complaining about are also gonna be much easier to kill.
Shadow priest also got nerfed with patch 8.3 heavily due to its performance in raiding, which is why it didn’t get nerfed again for PvP specifically, which means that argument is also out the window. UHDK will remain one hell of an anti-caster and can chase people down behind pillars without a problem, and with reckless abandon. Hitting deathstrike, in my opinion, is a hell of a lot more forgiving than hitting AMS which is what they should have hit in my opinion.
Must take a dh to not understand maths and graphics.
Dks are only top for hivemind and carapace because they can padd.
Describing a kit without providing how in pratice it works won’t amount to anything. And I never asked for a mage shield nerf.
I look at arena ladders when thinking about balance, if dks were as good or broken as before more people would be playing them at high rating. But they aren’t.

This is how you link logs properly, not that all percentile garbage you just linked.
DK’s aren’t even that far behind DH, and theres 4 other melee specs ahead of DH.
