No.
Unholy works more like a Necromancer, but DK’s have a long standing tradition of ‘being their own thing’.
Even DnD notwithstanding, in WoW Necrotic magic draws from a separate well than the fel.
If you want to look at D&D - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_in_Dungeons_%26_Dragons
In short, one is necromancy, the other is magic through pacts.
There’s one too many "A"s in your name. Change my mind.
I think Demo plays more like UH. Afflic is no where near UH…
Difference being Warlocks considered one of the strongest classes lore while Death Knights are one of the weakest.
Death Knights a like spider, they seem unsettling to look at but much like spiders they are very fragile and easily crushed by others.
It’s no surprised since the very first Death Knight used to be an Orc Warlock.
Unholy dks have a grand total of like 1 dot
They’re more like demon locks if anything because they’re not with out summons
Got this one wrong OP
God no, just make Necromancer it’s own class. There’s plenty of stuff to make it unique against DKs/Locks.
I hard disagree. The class aesthetic already belongs to death knights. There is a reason demology was remade from the ground up when DH were announced. They were too close aesthetically and was remade into a minion master spec.
Death knights and Necromancers are in the same boat. Unholy already reaches for “necromancer” aesthetic but doesn’t go all the way to be the necromancer we want. I think in this case, making the unholy spec into the necromancer would be better than trying to remake the unholy spec while simultaneously releasing a new class that needs to balanced all on its own and healthier for the game. I would still expect them to use plate, strength and 2h (no staffs) weapons for combat. just casting unholy magic from a distance while raising a minion army.
Well yes but actually no.
Unholy feels so clunky, I really don’t like it. In fact, I wish it’s similar to Shadow, infecting your enemies to rot or whatever. Why should we rely on pets to do damage?
Disagree. Death Knights should be their own class and Necro should be its own. Even if it goes the route of DH and only gets to specialization trees. They have their place in lore.
