DK was gutted in the final hour for PVP. They suckered me in by having them strong, only to castrate them once the season started. I have thought about it, I am not rerolling. I refuse to play that game of Bliz’s anymore of nerf/buff reroll = time sink. Done with that! I’m not chasing FOTM. DK is literal trash for PVP, not even viable. I have unsubbed and I WILL NEVER EVER be foolish enough to purchase a 6 month sub again!

Everytime I get frustrated with my DK I see Chillpills slapping people around and I get motivated. He’s quite famous on Dalarans channel.
Suffer well!

He hates the state of dk, though. You’ll often see him (rightfully so) complaining about the dumb decisions

I think it feels a lot better to play dk, but they overnerf things to fast is what i think a big problem is
also buff deathstrike or give frost dk a ms, didnt want it to come down to that but it would probably auto fix the spec

Exactly the whole “don’t homogenize the game” argument doesn’t hold up after the fact. It’s already happened and now’s there just outliers that didn’t get homogenized.

Cant wait to see the numbers ina month… ive quit as well. Ive seen many others. Will be interesting to see just how many… that 1% they cater to cant sustain the game alone.
Ds is truly ruined for blood
I gave up on DK. I’m enjoying my time on shadow priest and even arms warrior.
Badly needs an MS
MS or +20% DMG over specs that have ms would be nice.
The problem appears to be a complete lack of actual thought on Blizzard’s part. They seem to look at numbers on the end screen and tune based on that.
UHDK, for example, was pushing some pretty high numbers because of dotcleave and Improved Death Coil (but mostly dotcleave). However, even before the nerfs, their dots weren’t strong enough to even get close to stressing a competent healer. The numbers were largely the result of pure uptime. Their output during go was nothing even close to unreasonable. Added to this, UHDK was already extremely easy to shut down.
Neither DK spec had a worthwhile amount of ladder representation. Frost was (and still is) damn near useless in PvP, and UHDK was really only good for stomping unskilled players into the ground. FDK now has greater representation than UH as a result of the latter being nerfed so severely, but that’s not exactly saying much given DK’s overall underrepresented state.
I’m not saying we can’t do anything, mind you. We just have to play a lot better than everyone else in the match to get the job done.
If they won’t give it one, they could at least give it ret defensives and output, or increase the utility beyond the one big burst setup it’s been forced into for years.
Frost just doesn’t really have anything going for it that other specs don’t do better.
