Those that play them, are they fun? Looking to main dps but tanking isn’t off the table.

Yes, they are a lot of fun. I have um… 3 at max level and another two I’m leveling seriously.

Yeah they’re fun. I play Frost mostly but do also play Blood and Unholy. My DK does decent damage and their utility is interesting. I’m leveling a Vulpera DK now for the heritage armor and decided to go Unholy all the way to get a better feel for it, quite enjoying it really.
From what I understand they have a fairly involved rotation.
I will say this though, as a healer I would pick DK as my tank every time if it was possible and they even remotely knew what they were doing.
I’ve had good tanks of all classes, but it just seems I have had more DK’s with fewer issues than any other class.

They’re fun and look great in Tmog, but lag behind in performance to other melee dps (if you’re worried about that).
I love my DK. I have been playing him since WOTLK. I played frost in Legion and have been rocking unholy this expansion. There are definitely nuances to the rotation but I feel you can do that with any class if you are a min/max kind of player.
id say so. frost is in bad spot but mechanic wise, u r constantly pushing a button like fury warrior so it feels fast paced or ‘spam-y’. unholy is in very good spot in both pve and pvp. it feels unique than most bcuz u deal dmg thru summoning and debuffs. blood dk is the god of solo content
dks in general have very interesting cds imo
I see you too embraced the face of truth.

I remember when that first occurred to me, “Man I really want a race/class combo but I’ve already got that class. Wait…who said I can’t have two of said class?”
Four paladins later…
On topic; yeah dks are great! I’m considering rolling another since I dont have one Alliance side.

DKs are very fun. I’ve toyed with Frost and Blood, but Unholy is and has always been my favorite DK spec. There’s nothing quite like throwing down a literal army of undead to swarm your foes. That - in and of itself - is just so satisfying.
And DKs have the best lore in the game hands down.
Although the jury is still out on some of Lich King Bolvar’s new recruits.
Been playing Dk since wotlk and through the ups and downs (pls gib 2h frost back :< ) and I’ve got 5 of em currently. Middle of the pack dps wise but still good fun, fairly tanky and of you like skulls they’re the class for you. The only real drawbacks they have is a rather hefty lack of mobility
I have several across the servers.
Like anyone here, I nrever play anything that isn’t fun. But hey who wouldn’t find it fun to play a character that’s a cross between the Winter King and Darth the Deep Breather?

PS Blood for leveling, Frost for instances.
Nah don’t level one, we do terrible DPS and horrible tanks
Don’t look at my stuff, just believe me
They are also a great option because they start higher then other classes and can now be any race.
Finally!
I would recommend Blood DK as the most interesting spec in the game right now, but I am of course speaking with bias.
There is also a really interesting concept i have been employing for leveling challenges that I call the “necromancer DK”.
tldr is
Unholy DK spec has a bunch of talents and pvp talents that allow it to basically have a giant horde of zombies do the work for you and many of them work well together.

Frost has easily the coolest talent in the game: Frostwym’s Fury.
unholy is a blast to play.
No clue how competitive they are since I dont do that.

Dang this is a lot of love for DKs. I think I’ll give them a serious try.
Thanks guys.
Fun is subjective but why would you think that a class that’s been in the game for the last 10 years wouldn’t be worth leveling?
That’s kinda silly.
I’ve tried UnH , in BGs and instances.
They work just fine, no complaints.

Go for max amount of Ghouls and DOTs, for that specc.
