DK Unholy is back?

With todays changes, is Unholy competitive? Anyone tested it already?

Death Knight

  • Unholy
    • [With regional restarts] Necrotic Strike now absorbs up to 6% of the target’s health (was 4%).
    • [With regional restarts] Virulent Plague and Virulent Eruption are no longer reduced by 10% when engaged in combat with enemy players.

idk they are probably just “less bad” now, as opposed to “back”

Death strike is still awful

Scourge strike with a Festering wound pop is like 2k damage, necrotic strike is about 700 damage upfront and 6% of a 40k health pool is 2400 so about 3100 effective damage.

Its just less bad, but still bad.

I saw Mes stream and he had a 80% max health necro absorb during unholy frenzy, it’s very good. In 3s coupled with a spriest, im pretty sure unh is gonna be good

Hopefully not no1 likes dampeners lol (in b4 lulret, yes I know, nerf ringing clarity no1 can argue this).

Yea. Probably this is it. Dam FDK is so boring.

gonna be way more playable

tsg is probably gonna be enough to keep you alive while you have considerably more pressure now

7% necro with bursting sores is pretty big during your ‘go’

Cringe.
Not sure why people always cite mindgames in a sad attempt to discredit me as if I haven’t already advocated nerfs for it numerous times in these forums.
Not even remotely relevant.

Cringe cringe cringe.

6% NS still doesn’t sound too great in a meta where a normal attack casually takes 30% of someone’s HP.

So why u came to a discussion where we are obviously sad that the spec we like are unplayable and say a stupid think like “nerf them”? Is AMS oneshotting you? Are u being soloed to a UHDK in arenas? If u are… U play bad.

We are waiting to the moment that u will need to make posts on this forums to say “blizz plz nerf ams”, “5% of uhdk on top 15 is too much”, etc. At this very moment just please go complain to something useful for the game.
