The spec was destroyed and now that its played people start this bull**** bla bla bla.
DK is still the least played class BOTH x2’s and x3’s. Just check arena mate
You dont know how to counter it because DK’s were non-existent past 1800 rating. Just face it, how many DK’s have you faced before 8.1?
I hate it but the GIT GUD mage is needed here in these situations
goto 42:39
Enjoy the merry-go-round
Probably going to get a nerf soon
thx for your opinion op
we will go ahead and buff dks even more so you can finally get that coveted 2k achievement
If you actually think dks are balanced you need to reevaluate your life. Yea they arent as bad as people are saying but they overtuned period.
A lot of the damage UDK is doing we’ve done all of BFA, it’s just we died so fast if we were the kill target people didn’t see it.
Abom is pretty strong against melee cleaves but you can kite it, root, shackle, etc. just don’t stand in it and it’s as good/bad as Basilisk. I don’t see it being worse than any other 2min go but maybe I’m not using it to the full potential. If you take a bath in DnD and Abom with your whole team you deserve to get rekt.
I think Transfuse is a really strong defensive CD and should probably be a longer CD than it is now and DS could be reverted to only healing 40% of damage taken rather than 60%. You can stun or disarm the DK during it to stop the healing but the CD is so short there isn’t a long enough time frame to punish them hard enough for bad use or getting countered on it IMO.
All said though, UDK probably needs a nerf to Abom damage/wound generation, CD on Transfuse and DS down from 60% to 40% again.
Just please don’t make us useless again. Please.
Sad thing is, you probably will be. Pvp team has missed the mark on every spec in pvp since bfa began. The only one that got semi reasonable nerfs was warrior imo. Everyone else got overbuffed or nerfed.
Yep. At least people can discuss it here reasonably though. I went on the DK forums and said we needed a nerf now and got blaaaaaaasted by people.
Just pray its its not like the sub or feral nerf
Ah yes the impartial opinion of a checks notes Death Knight.
Why would DKs get any nerfs before boomies? This i a serious question. Boomy has spammable cc, has spammable healing, has good mobility, and does high sustained adnburst.
Tell e how that isn’t worse than UH currently is?
Tell me how it isn’t worse than seeing a comp like Destro Fire Mage Sham?
Also look at the higher rated DKS Meph, they aren’t even using transfusion. I am a no good baddie duelist player that just started to play now that DK is playable and I use it but better players than me dont even use it
DKs doing the same thing sin rogues do. “But that class is op as well”. DKs are cancer and this game suffers when they are really good. You can’t outplay an unkillable dps with loads of utility AND healing absorbs.
70% of games have a UH DK but ok…
god you’re so painfully stupid it hurts to see you type
even if dk’s get gutted you aren’t gettin any higher than you are now, sorry bud
Id rather face a dk any day over these spell cleave damp comps. That are impossible to actually kill…
Necrotic is severely over tuned, that’s the big concern here. Abom does really good damage but I don’t mind due to it being so slow, much like Basilisk. If Necrotic gets fixed Dk would be in a good spot.
Hotfix UHDK, ELE, BOOMY.
Bless.
Lol rogues complaining about DK
What a joke.
Dk’s were useless a WHOLE season. Stop this qq
There’s a couple things happening
A) people took season 1 of learning how to deal with a DK off
b) necrotic damage now shows up as dmg done in the end of match stats, potentially inflating numbers
C) necrotic is probably overturned and could drop down to 6% instead of 8%
d) the Cooldown of abom, unholy frenzy, and apocalypse all being very close means at a certain point all your dmg and anti healing can come out at once. it’s extrmely overwhelming for classes that can’t kite abom well. With uh frenzy and abom going there’s going to be tons of festering wounds to be able to be popped
The interesting thing is the vast majority of these mechanics (sans necrotic buff) were in place in 8.0. they actually did a big time nerf to damage when they removed unholy mutation, which was one of dk’s Top dmg abilities if they juggled dots properly
Disc got nerfed and just melts to a uhdk as well
The healers that enable tsg the best are mw and hpal imo and they’re prolly the two top dogs right now as well
It’s got a lot going for it, I could see a necrotic nerf to a reasonable level being fine and then still being viable
Those are my thoughts as a newer player to the spec with xp around only 1950 on dk so take what I say with a grain of salt
Point c was what i had mentioned in another thread as well. Possibly also lowering duration of necrotic to 12 or 15 seconds to give people the opportunity to kite/peel it off, otherwise it might as well not have a duration.
Ran into a few comps using disarms into stuns to peel it off so people are also slowly adjusting for it as they face more dks to practice as well.
Ii have advocated in the past for a better way for both the dk and the target to track necrotic levels as its one of the most difficult since it is fairly unique and i dont think the old necrotic addon works anymore. Maybe something similar to the monk stagger coloration based on hoe much of the health % max hp it is currently absorbing?
