So if yall are unaware we’re getting new death knight races soon. On bigger news though it seems like death knights are getting a 4th spec which honestly makes sense because of the whole 4 horseman theme death knights have going… what the “fire” deathknight spec will be is up to speculation.
I personally think it will be the new unholy, focused on dot damage through burning it’s victims. Unholy will get a legion style rework to play more like the heavily requested necromancer class with a heavy focus on summoning undead minions maybe even giving us a new ranged dps to play via deathbolts instead of melee swings
I personally would want fire DK to play similar to eso dk class and then for unholy to take a lot of spells from eso necromancer class.
I’m honestly looking forward to more legion level reworks
It’s honestly common sense as well.
Blizzard hasn’t added a ranged dps class/spec ever. They even took one away through survival hunters becoming melee. Necromancers are highly requested but couldn’t exist as a standalone class next to warlocks and dks. So they remake unholy into the necromancer class and for people that liked old unholy they can play fire dks
But all of this is speculation really. There is no confirmation yet. We have the skins for other races being dks, but not full on models last i checked, and we don’t know if there will even be a 4th dk spec.
Seriously, ya’ll need to cool it with the DK stuff. If it was really happening Blizzard likely wouldn’t be adding all of the assets straight into the game, especially not this early, since we know it isn’t coming in 8.3. No use getting excited just to be let down later.
Death knights - and death knight lore - are my favorite everything in the entire game.
If Blizzard provides a new starting area for new DK races, I’m fully on board… because who doesn’t want new DK stuff? But if they don’t, if they just shoe-horn them in to the current starting area, I’d prefer they leave DKs alone.
The idea of a fire-based spec, what with Bolvar’s, eh, condition and all is extremely interesting.
I’m thinking the fire “spec” will be less of an actual spec and more of an on off toggle within frost spec. Like it will just switch the frost damage to fire and be mechanically almost identical but just look fiery with different talents.
Seems odd to give dks a fourth full spec and leave dh with just two.
this. those death knight skins revealed so far could just as easily be for NPC characters and what-not, and just because they added a fire sword with a death knight tag on it doesn’t mean there’s a new spec incoming.
Tbh Demon hunters 3rd spec should have just been warlocks old demonology.
It leaves a bad taste in my mouth they deleted our spec and threw it in the trash… not only that to be a demon hunter you have to be magically adept … it makes little since that all of them would be dive in hack and slash freaks. Even in wc3 DH meta made the character into a ranged aoe dps unit
You’re one of those that won’t take nothing as fact until it’s officially announced… no wonder you’re playing one of those deranged night warriors.
They’re literally making the assets you think blizzard just likes wasting developer time…?
