In terms of other DPS classes, how hard/confusing is it to play UDK?
With unholy dk, if you go in and just press buttons you will not do good damage.
If you do 10 minutes of research on the class, you learn to press your buttons at better times causing you to do more damage.
If you spend a few hours really diving in to how the spec works, you will easily outperform the above two.
I wouldnt say the spec is “easy” or “hard”, it’s just knowing when to press each button. Other specs can just press whatever lights up and kill a player. Interpret that as you will.

I would say it’s difficulty greatly goes up or down depending on if its for PVE/ARENA/BG&WPVP. If you are more focused on PVE then it’s really not that difficult (you just have a good chunk of buttons with Unholy). It is the pet management in a PVP situation where that difficulty can go up - but practice makes perfect as they say.

UH is easy for me but I mained a rogue for 10+ years which I still think is overall more difficult. The hardest thing about unholy imo is keybinds, pet leap/gnaw macros, player death coil macro, etc. The rotation like most classes is pretty straight forward though.
Thanks!
I ask because I’m in the boat of looking for an alt “project”. I’m not sure whether to do warrior or DK, as I like the lore of both characters. I don’t tank much, and if I do, it’ll probably be “baby” keys (M1-M10) for funsies or to help other’s gear their alts. So, I will probably end up picking the class that is overall easier to manage.
I think it varies from person.
For me i had a rough start but now i love unholy.
I think the biggest issue i see new unholys doing is not using pets enough ( ur dk is the parade the candy is ur pets throw em)
Unholy dk at least in pvp is the most brain dead class to play. They’re unkillable, do more damage than everyone else and have magic immunity. They’re insane. Death grip? like god d*** I’m gearing mine right now just to carry solo shuffle groups. They need a nerf so bad.
unkillable? We playing the same game?

Can’t wait to see you cry and whine the first time you fight a warrior, hunter, or any class with physical damage.

What are you even saying lol stop
Unholy DK has got to be in its current form the easiest its ever been, Most of your damage is completely passive, Either its DoTs or npc pets
Outside of keeping people dotted, and pressing your cds on cd, all you need to do is build wounds, and pop with scourgestrike which also happens to buff dots
how is that any different than its ever been? lol
your survivability wasnt passive, your dots damage was more interactive,
How? You press a button to spread diseases.
Not being sarcastic, just curious whats different now
