Unholy DK Nerfs with 8.2

PVP Arenas
21

Why is unholy dk not being nerfed though, any other class besides rogue mage or paladin and death knight would have been el cyalatero 2 years ago

22

only if they’re from kim

23

She has baby feet you don’t want those

24

don’t worry I won’t wear them, sniffing is enough.

25

Ion plays UHDK

26

unholy is actually pretty balanced other than necro strike

i guess u could say OP self healing too but thats more of a meta issue

27

Didn’t you read the OP? They’ll kill faster now so enemies can’t do as much damage so their self healing is nerfed by increasing their dmg

28

Ion doesn’t play the game.

So you think

I think I pretty clearly pointed out that you’ve been ignoring the actual UhDk buffs because you don’t understand how the spec works and are now just doubling down on arguing semantics because you can’t swallow the fact that you have no idea what you’re talking about.

You’re just trying extremely hard to troll, I’m just simply focused on making an actually productive conversation but just be honest with yourself, you’re only trying to troll because you didn’t know those changes were ones that would have next to no impact. Going through that route because you didn’t know something isn’t something new.

My points are also just there for anyone that is curious for what the actual gamebreaking UhDk changes are, as they will be stronger this season - but the PvE changes will have 0 impact on that.

Mmm they’ll have more than 0 impact. Maybe like 0.7% impact but they’re buffs nonetheless. Sure they may not be for the majority of PvP abilities but they still get used. You’re saying DKs never death coil?

35

What hes trying to say is a change from 43.75% - 50.3% isn’t going to even be noticeable, death coil hits like a wet noodle Before and after buffs. I literally just logged in to test it so you would stop whining, get over yourself.

36

Death Coil again gets used very, very rarely because you’re going to hold runic for Death Strikes almost all of the time in PvP, minus procs. It also has quite insignificant damage, it’s never noticeable that you get hit by a deathcoil outside of it’s animation, it’s biggest use is reducing CD on dark transformation. Otherwise you’d have almost no reason to press it. Still is going to be in that same boat.

Festering is just a resource generator, and hardly does damage.

UhDk spends most of its time trying to spam as mant necros as possible, so this also means you won’t min max Death Coil weaving in your rotation like you might in PvE which is another factor in it being nearly worthless. You’ll overcap RP if you can keep necroing.

With Abomb/Uh Frenzy up there’s small reason to use Festering either. It has a pretty sizeable rune cost to begin with, which again limits time on necros.

Uh Dk is pretty horrible in PvE which is why they’re trying to make these changes, but 99% of what makes UhDk work is their honor talents which are actually amazing - conflict and strife giving an extra slot is quite significant.

Essentially what the festering wound buff is as a comparison, would be like taking Cata MM hunter and buffing steady shot damage by 15% (and this is an ability that gets used way more frequently than festering strike rofl). Because of the low damage of the generator, it pretty much changes nothing in the play and won’t effect the strength of the spec at all in a PvP setting.

Funny dks aren’t #1 and mages & pallies are what you going to cry about now?

Another troll poster who just doesn’t get it. Let me put it simply, because otherwise it might be too complex for a ret paladin of your caliber.

  • 27% relative nerf to necrotic strike
  • Abomination basically unplayable now

vs

  • 5% extra meter padding damage

Since you can’t actually seem to think for yourself to evaluate the above facts, let me just say it straight: Unholy should be a lot worse for these changes. Almost every streamer and high rated player comments that UHDK just feels a lot weaker compared to before, as anecdotal evidence.

If you want empirical evidence however, we’ll just have to wait and see if UHDK performs worse or better than before, based on statistics. But It’s pretty obvious to those of us who PvP on classes besides Ret which direction that’ll be in.

39

Im gonna go with UHDK still being S-Tier behind a good player. And no longer OP braindead behind everyone else. Lol There are still UHDK pushing glad everyday since the nerf.
