Proposed changes to unholy

Nerf the dmg on abomination, the 4 horsemen, and their related abilities by 50%

we went through the same thing last xpac and we already know that unholy being a pet spec is cringe in pvp, so nerf all the pet stuff.

buff festering wounds by 70%, buff death coil by 15%

nerf death coil cleave by 50%

this would shift unholy from a pad dps spec into one with more focused kill pressure that doesn’t rely on pets

I think you can really just buff base damage of scourge strike and clawing shadows to give relevant sustained damage, not making it too bursty, and promoting single target throughput when you have uptime.

It’s funny they only manage to do this for certain classes.

First thing they look at for BM Hunter? Black Arrow…you know…the thing they added when expansion came out.

First thing they look at for UH DK? Oh well lets just nerf their DoTs by 15%, their ST spender by 15%, etc etc. Not the CD that was added this expansion that is overkilling anything that stays within range of it.

Legit the worst group of developers.

I think they ought to redesign plaguebringer. Make it provide a much larger damage increase, but the damage increase only happens to the things that you burst wounds on with scourge strike, instead of just being able to scourge strike something in range once every 10 seconds for a lot of extra passive damage on everything.

This ought to give it more meaningful single target pressure. You’re not consistently keeping up 100% extra disease damage on everything, but the things you’re bursting wounds on are maybe taking the extra disease damage + 25% extra shadow damage from you or something. You can keep plaguebringer up on one or two things fairly consistently, but you’re not going to be able to put it on the whole team outside of your big go/grips.

If interferes with M+ you ain’t getting it. PvP only buffs are pretty rare and only come each patch once. So enjoy bdk till 11.2!

50% kit wide nerf is a result of this

Unholy a pet spec where the pets currently do zero damage lol? Lets just stick with petkicks idea before blizzard accidently reads this junk and does something insane. Yeah mograine is a beast but really is irrelevant when we cant kill anything. Inb4 you say we have burst

nobody wants unholy to be a pet spec espcially petkick lol

Its not currently a pet spec just because mograine does damage. You want to nerf Abom that already hits like a wet noodle by 50% ???

Please just copy and paste this over your rambling incase blizzard sees.

3rd stage of grief: bargaining

Beyond tired of playing a scuffed spec 70% of the seasons

here we find someone whos been in it for a while and we can see the 4th stage of grief: depression

Messed up for callin me out like that

i remember you from the wod days

back when pvp was good

you probably dont remember me though

Or they could leave its damage where it is and give it the blood dk PvP talent that makes death strike give you -20% physical damage reduction. Just make them super tanky into everything and function like m+ tanks in their comps. Melee version of shadow priest.

That talent is a thing for all specs and its pretty lackluster

Yea i dont remember names that well tbh

Oh dang I thought they’d removed that from frost and unholy

Na they didn’t but its pretty meh i very rarely play it tbh
