1
Ok, so i like them ALL.

but im going to need to choose...so HALP ME!

I think I will go:

Necrotic strike
Necromancers bargain

Then its a choice between:

Transfusion and Life and Death. I dont know what to pick....maybe transfusion?

man....I also want necrotic aura....

so are they gona let DKS have 5 slots for PvP talents? hmmm??

Depends on what you're doing. You should be switching your pvp talents constantly depending on your comp, who you're playing against, and the format(arena vs rbg).

For example if you're playing TSG in arena, Necrotic aura will lose a lot of it's value since your Warrior won't benefit from it. Versus say you're playing Shadowcleave or in an RBG where multiple classes can take advantage of it. I also think Transfusion will play better in Arena and Life and Death in Rbgs, but I don't think we'll fully know until we can test it. Maybe you'll want both.

I have no bloody clue what the abom will be for. Contesting objectives in BGs? More AoE Presence?

Oh he just replaces Army of the Dead. That explains why he doesn't do more.

The go to for arena will probably still be

Necrotic aura
Life and death.
Necrotic strike.

Unholy. I dont consider Frost a PvP spec.

I wouldn't worry about it... Mes, on the high of winning at the tournament, said DKs are good. We probably won't see anything now. Too bad we all aren't Mes.

Dks are good, vs caster cleaves and rogue mage. He wouldn't be preaching that if they faced a turbo or jungle and soon as ibf fell, so did he.

I think ill go with:

necromancers bargain
necrotic strike
transfusion

Necrotic aura is pretty much a must have.
11
They need to make AMZ and Necrotic strike baseline

Whats the point to adding so much talents when u cant chose them?
12
Annoying have new talents but having only 1 to choose because necrotic and aura are auto picks

depends on comp. If running with caster, sure. If running with warrior or dh, not really.

I still think life and death will be very strong in rot. Wounds last a good while and it's not to hard to keep two targets festered, even if they only have one wound, giving you some decent survivability off them being healed alone.

I'm also skeptical about necromancers bargain. A large part of its damage is from pets since they nerfed the wounds it bursts by two in BfA so losing them will be kinda upsetting and I recall seeing that crypt fever is dispellable which will mean u lose half of the effect.

Maybe not with a warrior (even though 8% damage to your diseases is good) a good chunk of DH damage is spell damage.

Damn life and death not even out yet and getting nerfed lol. Amz and Datk sim really just need to be baseline for anything else to really be considered a choice. Our single target damage is far to low to ever take anything besides necro as well. Hell we dont even have stun baseline its a talent.

leap is an interupt (only during transform) and ghoul stun is the same as a cheap shot. Warrior also has fear baseline.

Cheap shot is 4 seconds... Ghoul stun is not. How is it the same?

Again you may want to read tool tips.

Also DKs are not Warriors.
