yes only talking about pvp. PvE I don’t think its “trash” but its not good. The burst is there, sustained is nowhere to be found lol
Many classes are suffering hard these days. Dks are definitely on top of the crap meter.
Some other notable mentions are mages, hunters(bm is getting nice buff soon) and warriors. Let’s hope Blizzard takes a look at Dk and all the classes that are extremely lacking in numbers and fun.

I feel like BoD has a lot of encounters that just heavily punish slow classes. More than half the fights have sequences where you’re capital-W-Walking back and forth across the arena, unlike Legion where fights tended to need less movement. Even if DK were balanced from a raw numbers standpoint I wouldn’t expect to be good just because of how the fights are mechanically punishing.
On the bright side, at least UH can pug it’s way into M Champs for the Mythic sword. I dont know why you’d play Frost unless you’re doing mythic prog and get lucky fishing for weapon drops on later bosses or have some absurd titanforge luck in M+ or Heroic. Unholy is just so much easier to get a weapon for.
With that said I think Unholy is pretty fun otherwise. Great for the slog of world content with good AOE potential and good in pvp. The worst part is how clunky army is.
Me too, who says “pewp”?
That’s how you know you have mad skills.

BDK is totally fine.
Just as there will be certain weeks where the m+ affixes tend to favor the Prot Warrior, there will be weeks (most of them actually) where the B DK is favored. It’s all about our ability to control the fight and to a lesser extent, our self sustain.
We actually aren’t all that impressive in raid environments. Sure we can grip an add or mass grip raid trash, but most of the time, what can be gripped can usually be stunned, CCd, interrupted, etc.
The only tank class I’m considering playing beyond B DK would be BrM. I’ll stick with my B DK for m+, but for raids, I’d rather go with BrM. I have a strong feeling we’ll see a few different tank classes in the MDI as opposed to B DK, B DK, and oh surprise, B DK…
Nothing to do with this conversation…but I get choked up every time I do or see the paladin encounter. They took our precious seals away and we have to watch this boss use them. Feelssoooobad 
I’m currently leveling up my second dk and running unholy. I think it’s about as fun as one could expect from a class you’ve already played before. The only difference for me is that I never really cared for UH so it’s kinda new to me. I think it’s alright. The rune regen sucks and Death Coil is hardly worth casting but I’m hoping that the stupid azerite traits make up for it later on. I like my frost DK a lot, I just hardly play him anymore. Used to LOVE blood from Wrath to MoP but, after that, Blizz absolutely ruined it. It’s a completely different spec. It feels really bad to me and I wish they would revert back to pre - pruning.
Im comparing UH in MoP, to UH in WoD, UH in Emerald Nightmare, UH in Antorus the Burning throne, and UH to now. This is by far the worst version of UH I’ve ever played.
65% of your dmg being passive while over 25% of your button pressing does elss than 10% of your damage, how is this fun? It’s brain dead boring with too low of a skill floor and too low of a skill ceiling. UH use to be a complex, fun, engaging spec that rewarded you for paying attention. Now you just need to know when to army and you get a good parse, but its still garbage damage because we’re literally outclasses by every other class in BoD.

Yeah I want to like UH but it feels so bad to me. Really there is not one class that feels right to me at this point in time. Everything feels clunky, resource-starved, and slow as ____ 
Or either that, or they are zippy but hit like a wet noodle

Yea, Disc can stay nerfed.
Everyone is falling all over themselves for Prot Warriors like they the 2nd coming. Everyone forgets they were trash at the start of the expansion. They got overtuned to make for that and I expect they will get toned down before the last tier comes out. It’s just the Blizzard yo-yo.
Blood DKs excel in M+ because 5 man content is the niche they were created for. And I would like to see Frost go back to a 2h spec. For all the downsides to Ret Pally I have a ball on him when Im not mad about not getting trinkets. And Unholy would be a better DW class from the playstyle.

How’s them lock nerfs treatin ya buddy? Lil’ squishy now?
Im enjoying both UH and Blood. I struggled with UH at first but now I switching it to my main. I wouldnt mind if they make some MINOR tweaks as long as they dont mess up the genrral game play. I also like the 8 min CD. I dont want a 3 min one just so I can be like everyone else. Stop trying to homogenize the classes.
Now frost on the other hand needs some work. I dont like be forced down the path of one talent.
@lepermessiah- get your haste up if you want more rune regeneration.
I always run with might heirlooms as that’s their main stat, with a truesilver sword (or bloodied arcanite with the autoattack heirloom on left)
Haven’t had a issue with runes since learning that haste includes rune regeneration speed
The game is seasonal now. Classes get to take turns being OP and broken depending on the season. Also after you clear the first raid and the next one comes out, all the previous stuff is 100% obsolete, on to the next season.
Right now tis’ the season of the Prot warrior and Shadow priest.
This is what’s eroding the playerbase, among everything else.
