Hello everyone. I am thinking of trying unholy spec in the near future. It is a spec that I have barely played in years. Does the popping disease mechanic something that we will always have to keep track of or does it kind of become muscle memory as well as we play the spec? I remember before I got frustrated with having to keep looking how many pimples the enemy already have to use scourge strike which makes me miss boss mechanics etc. Also does out pet aggro mobs in dungeons still? Any input from unholy mains is appreciated thanks.
I set up a Weak Aura to show me how many i have up on the target as well as time left on disease
They’re very important to damage output and you have to track it
there is muscle memory to an extent but target switching can be problematic so a weak aura is pretty much mandatory for ME to play unholy properly.
I also have one for D&D for cleave
i notice the regular pets (ghoul, apocalypse ghouls, skeletal mages, abom) don’t really do too bad with aggroing but since you’ll be playing horsemen know that THEY will go ham on stuff without your command

ouch. hope i can adjust. I have been frost since forever. I have always tried unholy from time to time but always immediately go back to frost because of how I get tunnel vision trying to track festering wounds on my targets. I wish there is an option in-game that can make certain icons larger so I can make the festering wound icon larger on the enemy.
I plan to go Sanlayn so my only worry is our pet ghoul accidentally aggroing packs. I remember before some DK I teamed up in dungeon who were unholy accidentally aggros mobs a lot like hunter pets.
it’s the pet class struggle. no way around it, sometimes they just do weird stuff
True. I wish we can make a petless unholy build. I like being able to summon gargoyle/dark arbiter or certain skills summoning minions to attack our enemies. But having a permanent pet is something that turns me off for DK. I hope that they allow us in the future to have a petless build or if not allow us to customize and rename our permanent pet. Our ghoul still looks like from the early 2000s lol.
i don’t really mind it too much. Even as frost I’m playing riders because the mobility is huge
and as for unholy, it’s the closest we’ll get to a necromancer
yea i love all the hero talents of DK. I planned to main a different class this expansion but came back to DK haha. I was so OP on my Paladin but eventually went back to this toon.
I agree it is the closest to necromancer. Hence I want to try unholy sanlayn for the theme.
I wish rider works inside delves and Echoes. I was so disappointed we could not mount up in echoes. Would have really been cool and a good advantage. haha. But questing as Rider is sooo fun.
the Death Charge talent works everywhere, and it’s super useful. It’s divine steed on steroids. I love it
I meant the other talent on that node where we can fight while mounted haha
yeah i tried it once at launch and never again
Yes. I used it while leveling and questing. it was sooo convenient haha
