How's DK in pve?

I need another class to play because warlock just doesn’t feel good at max level.

I have a level 60 hunter as well but was wanting to give something else a try.

I like the idea of being able to tank so I don’t have to sit in in que, and I like the class fantasy of UH and frost tbh.

How’s the burst/sustain for a dk? Not worried to much about survival as I will be focusing on pve and I tend to do pretty well with mechanics. :slight_smile:

My main drive is i like BM and the class fantasy of it, however most people want me to be MM and I’m not finding it super fun at all

Thank you!

Unholy is really nice right now, you can use bursting sores for more melee or ebon fever… there are conduits for both.
Strong cleave, strong single target burst… you just have to manage your cooldowns correctly, its definitely more difficult than BM hunter but with the right macros it’s easy.

Yeah I can usually pick up a rotation pretty easily just not digging MM… something about it just doesn’t work with me.

Hey! I had the same issue as you with my warlock and rolled a DK.

I’m at 58 now playing frost. I enjoy it. Not a super easy dps rotation yet also not that difficult.

Unholy seems borderline overpowered, at least for Mythic+. Hard to imagine many other specs will be able to compete with the completely silly AoE damage they’re pumping out. Single target is probably just above average (better when AotD is off CD), but still respectable.

Thanks for the replies.

I think warlock left such a bad taste in my mouth i just want something bursty. I know MMZ IS bursty… and I have one at 170 item level. But good lord is it that a boring class lol.

Just don’t wanna play a class where someone will ping me “lol” after declining my inv to a heroic group. Lmao.

BM is fine. Just slightly under MM, with less burst overall, but still a very solid spec and above many others.

Unholy is very strong ATM. Frost isn’t great and blood is probably the worst tank right now.

/cast [target=cursor] death and decay

/cast [target=cursor] army of the dead
(this is for abom in pvp)

/cast lichborne
/cast [target=(character name)] death coil
(this is for coil healing during lichborne)

for frost get gear past 160 and things might start to feel good

Checkout wowhead, it has info straight from the discord and is really helpful.

Unholy is very strong right now , and I have also been tanking quite a bit as blood & in my opinion it feels better than where it left off in bfa . IBF & tap is actually a disgusting amount of mitigation on demand (think giant pull and for whatever reason your bone shield fell off) . Bone storm is gonna be good as always in m+ too. I haven’t played frost, but I understand that it is underperforming compared to unholy in single target & of course cleave.
