6-0 blood dk in solo shuffle

This is not a QQ post. I’m just confused. Everyone in the lobby was as confused as I was. I even whispered the other healer to get their take and they’re like “dude im speechless”
What is the cheese here? What is the strat? It felt like nothing was going on for most of the match until it did and then people were dead.
good lobby for a bdk
Where are you, Kenneth?
San’layn gives you a stacking Death Strike damage buff, Rune of Sanguination makes Death Strike hit really hard on people at lower health and Death Strike itself just got a considerable buff.
The spec just bursts reasonably hard when you press rune weapon which is always up.
Honorable mention to Hemostasis that considerably buffs Death Strike damage (and healing, but not Blood Shield) based on the amount of targets hit, so pets = funnel.
The strat is Unholy isn’t good and Frost isn’t good. Blood is all thats left.
Saw a R1 team get farmed by a blood dk team on EU a few days ago. Dude was hitting almost 2 mil death strikes.
Such a sorry state this game is in. haha… so bad.
It actually is considerably worse after their “balance” passes lol. I swear whoever the current devs are have to be brand new or something.
I dont get it, blood and prot warr is ok with u guys but when guardian is, everybody loses their marbles.
Yea man, it’s just… mindless. I don’t get it. The game doesn’t make sense any longer.
Been doing some shuffle and blitz tonight. Seeing BM and ele top charts just makes me hate the game. All this damage with no casting and ranged is just terrible for the game. But that doesn’t even scratch the surface. BM is incredibly tanky. These braindead specs can’t be this good. Like these ele shams. I just got out of a match with one. Never tremors. Never grounds. Never casts hex. Does 900k DPS and wins…??? Same for BM. Traps? No idea what those are. If I ever see a BM hunter kill a pysfiend I’m going to go buy a lottery ticket.
Locks are way too tanky. I used to love going up against demo on my enhance… I don’t scratch them. Between nether ward and coil, locks are tilting. Frost is untouchable. They have too many outs. Shadow doesn’t die.
Every spec has too many training wheels abilities. BM needs a flat 10-20% damage nerf. Gutter the spec. I don’t care. NO season has BM been good and PvP was in a good. Nerf ele again. Delete Void Leech. 3% of your health every 2 seconds? How troll is that?
I just don’t even know what I’m doing atm.
No one is okay with it. Well, unless you play a tank in PvP.
Ele frost mage and spriest are pretty easy to counter if you know what to look for.
Bm hunter damage is literally unstoppable
Eles current design is bad. Being able to counter it or not doesn’t mean it’s good design or fun. Shadow is still tanky regardless. Frost still has a ton of outs. The game is too annoying at times. No reason it needs to be.
True. This reminds me of Overwatch 1. By the end it had peak game balance before they destroyed it.
When will Blizzard release another good game like that?
SL bear was about 14 times as powerful as current prot and blood combined.
I believe this is the problem, most likely there are no more ‘original’ devs left and these newer devs are unaware of lessons learned from past mistakes and bad design.
One reason I believe this is the case is the addition of all the random large snares in the game. 66% here, 90% there, 80%, you get the point. Blizzard mostly did away with the various 70% snares long ago, almost a decade at this point, and now they are added back and even worse.
Another sign is some specs just having bad design and bad trees, yet in the past some of said specs had amazing design. Just a whole set of diff devs that probably don’t even play WoW.
Yea, you could say that x10. I think that’s apparent to a lot of us now. That and it just feels like the people making these changes aren’t really playing the game to get a sense of what it’s doing. So they keep adding more and more and more. I’d hate to see them do another big pruning with the current devs, but something needs to give.
In the rare occassions i see an abomination tank in my lobby, the strat i echo is to just ignore them and dump everything into the dps if it’s a valid kill target
Oversimplified, but is this a valid strat? Even though they take extra dmg, I feel like focusing tanks is a trap and never ends well if the tank knows what it’s doing
Blood DK was definitely not the kill target, I think on round 1 the DPS actually tried to kill it but my guy just live lorded through it. Blood DKs are one of the few tanks that can actually survive in PVP through their tank mechanics
Yeah.
Sort of. Usually it’s that people aren’t on the same page. Like, two sources of moderate to heavy magic damage kill tank specs probably faster than anything else.
So I’m watching a friend stream atm and he’s currently fighting a blood dk in shuffle. The blood dk is beating a BM in damage. Doing 1.5+ million death strikes. This… is so funny. Like not haha funny but how are we here again?
Cata called and it wants its blood dks back.
