Is DK fun in random bgs?

Hey all,

Thinking about leveling my DK, was wondering if the class is fun in random bgs?

Also is there any point at all being Blood in random bgs? Can you have fun or are you hurting your team?

If you are full versatility maybe, otherwise a paladin will throw a triple judgement on you and end you in 2 button smashes.
As foor playing tank in BGs, they only moment i see valuable might be as a dedicated flag carrier en RBG, otherwise tanks in pvp are useless.

otherwise tanks in pvp are useless.

Watching my friend on his prot paladin from time to time says otherwise. He still likes his Ret bull, but prots divine toll goes brrrrrt

I face some of them in arenas, but eventually they die, they’re just annoying.
But they hit hard tho.

Could you imagine if our single healing ability had half the healing of ret rather than the nerfed disaster it is now?

If it’s a:
-DK
-Warrior
-Shaman

Blizzard launches a quick fix patch in a day to remove the “overttuned” things

If it’s a:
-Druid
-Paladin
-Hunter

it will remain untouched the whole expansion.

I have fun in random BGs. I like the survivability and utility DK brings. Others might feel differently though.

TBF they just announced a array of 3-5% buffs that included fury/arms, BM/survival on it. Can’t remember if druids were.

Also atleast Frost is getting a 5% buff so… That’s something lol.

Also also, paladin’s got that 20% wig nerf for PvP so instead of over healing past full they’ll only get back to 90% lol.

I like the survivability and utility DK brings

Utility, I agree. The constant slows and AMZ is nice, and the death grips. But I honestly don’t feel like I can survive much, between the multiple over performing classes that can global you, or the not quite as busted specs able to floor you with our bad defensives and crappy nerfed Death Strike.

Only back to 90%? Epic . Overnerfed. lol

Right? We wouldn’t want ret to out heal a healer in the middle of globaling someone lol

You might wanna include the word “Rogue”. Even though they are okayish, I still don’t think it’s right to nerf Echoing Reprimand to oblivion in PvP.

On top of the PvP Stealth Nerfs that doesn’t state in tooltip. -_-

Hunters are weak right now

Its super fun. You can stun an entire team @ LM in arathi basin and just shrek everything

It can be fun as long as you out-gear everyone.
Blood is fine for random BG’s but you’ll need Deaths Certainty legendary and Rune of Sanguination to have any success.

I’m having fun.
You don’t have like broken burst oneshot cds and obviously are not a fast boi, but, besides that, really good overall. Amazing cc and low cd damage cds is the main point.

Yes

yes absalutley! you dont get alot of killingblows but you cause hell for the outher team with spread damage and decent survivability.

I’m having a good time in random BGs. I just run in, hit things, and either win with support or die to the mass of red names. xD

Good times right now.

Its decent in randoms if you overgear it. Someone mentioned it, but you won’t get alot of KB’s, however, your overall damage will appear very high. This is because your dots will be splashing onto everyone, but your actual hits are very small. It feels bad. Not a great 1v1 class either.

If you’re looking for a plate to run around in randoms, go Ret or Arms. They’re gonna burst people down way quicker, and have way more survivability than a dk.

Recently tried frost in random bgs. It’s fun, especially with the aoe stun frostwyrm legendary. Even if you don’t win, you can at least give some other players a frustrating experience.
