I’m really struggling between blood on a KT for the constant 2% healing hot they get and the rearmed/clone taunt damage sponges mechagnomes for my allied DK. How do you guys feel between the two and what do you think would be better?
The difference between the races isn’t too big a deal as far as performance… just pick whichever one you think looks the best.
Its not really an allied race though was added in BFA. But night elf night warrior cosmetics are probably the most unique in terms of appearance for DK. They are the only ones who get non-blue eyes and their eyes are unique to begin with+the skin. All the others get glowy blue eyes.
For actual allied races, for alliance void elves seem like they’d be a decent pick for frost/unholy and get a nice movement ability. Not the best, but a little above average I’d say. Kul’Tiran and mechagnomes would be great picks. Kul’Tiran for appearance+racials. Mechagnomes have really good racials unless they were toned down last I looked. DK mechagnome seems a little weird to me though, even weirder to me than lightforged draenei.
I recently did some sim for this, pure dps perspective.

I’m actually considering Kul Tiran as a good choice.
Still BE over everything.
Kul Tiran will be great for Blood dk. The shake it off will add a large amount of healing compared to other tanks. (particularly if you get a big hit taken while vamp blood is up)
what level will the new DKs start as today? 110? 55? 20?
55, like normal DKs.
EDIT: 58 actually

They also apparently remain eligible for heritage armor.

Zandalari are super annoying to play as. At least as warrior. Constant yelling. It gets old real quick if you play with sound on. Then again if you don’t play with sound who cares.
