WoD was awful.

WoD was a lot of fun for pvp. A couple of classes were massively overtuned and brainless, Druid as usual, but classes were rich in mechanics, had high skill caps for the most part, and were exceptionally balanced. People actually had to read their spellbooks and understand abilities and how they functioned with each other in order to maximize damage/healing. That’s probably why so many people hated it at the time, and partly why the fool’s pruning happened in Legion.

WoD was fun for PvE as a DK. CMs were fun, raiding as BDK was fun.

I honestly miss playing my DK. It was my main for 3 expansions. I even enjoyed playing it so much I got old school loremaster on it.

But the way the class currently is- just no. Its not the least bit fun to play.

They need the paladin treatment, just shrink the button presses down, and tie more abilities into the smaller button combo, and rebalance around that. Having to DnD, spread dots, pop abilities like chains, all while managing runes is just dated design at this point. Time for a rework.

They really need to work on cool down reductions for both DPS specs. Sure, unholy can do some crazy dps on huge packs, as long as your group knows how to pull around your cool downs and maximize your potential. This rarely happens.

One possible solution would be to lower the overall DPS of some of our long CDs like army, but have it castable more often. That way we aren’t bringing the whole group down while we sit and wait for our CDs to come back just to be useful again.

The real version of DK died in Wrath. If they want to fix it, go back and look at the original release of the DK and try as hard as they can to get back to that. This is some crazy nerfed, gutted, weird version of the first DK. The original was the most fun class this game ever seen. It was OP, but they just gutted and removed everything instead of balancing it. It is so different that I really would have to write a whole article on how much they removed and cut out since release. I miss the original presence system and the original outbreak and the original unholy blight, Scourge strike in its original state and so much more. So yeah I can agree this class is kind of a shell and a sad reminder of really really bad design and decisions. Still, the nostalgia is strong for me. RIP original DK.

I was in the “wounds aren’t bad” camp until I played my Ret.

Just (F word) get rid of wounds. Does nothing for the spec but increase the things you have to pay attention to for not enough payout. Or if you’re making them stay bake in the exploding wounds talent and double the damage.

Right now they just suck.

Curious on if we are going to have a talk about the state of DK in TWW. Hopefully it will be a positive post if so.

Here is what I see the DKs do. They put dots up. They don’t hit the hardest or even close with their melee, their dots don’t tick the hardest or even close to the hardest of most classes. They don’t have burst compared to most classes. They don’t bring any real buffs. I’m just struggling to understand. WHAT IS THE ROLE OF DK OUTSIDE OF TANK?
I just rerolled to Ret and its GG. Should of done this long time ago.
Why do they keep pushing DPS DKs to some kind of an AUTO pet class…with whelplings, Frost wyrms and all of these gimmick abilities that do not do any real kind of damage AND you cant STACK THEM. I DO NOT GET WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE. I’m sorry but I think they need a REWORK and they really need to be considered as a DPS class. Oh, I could not get an invite as a Frost DK to a mythic last week. LOL… It was funny. I kept trying to sign up and people kept flat out rejecting the spec.
I hope they have someone else balance the class, cause whoever is doing it now, is just bad at it.

Curious if you saw any of the dk reworked talents ect? Cause the new dk is looking very promising.

Until Obliteration changes come in, the changes are looking… dreadfully lacking. I dont know how Blizzard achieved having crit be good and 100% useless at the same time… its baffling.
