Any smart team kites or kills the Abom, it really only takes a couple seconds to kill it with its low hp pool. The biggest problem with cryptic is the debuff duration going from 10 -> 18 seconds, making it less likely to kite the DK to let the debuff drop off.
HP % on necrotic isnât really the main problem, but a 1% nerf is welcomed

heaven forbid a class gets some tweaks to help it remain viable rather than the giant big nerf hammer to plow it into oblivion.
really donât think UHDK is at âwelfareâ status anyway, even before these nerfs.

Still waiting for you to somehow wiggle your rating into this thread.

This is exactly what I was advocating for in other threads. Tweaks to bring UDK back in line before getting blown out of the water with massive nerfs and people lost their minds.

Mes (the top DK in the world) already said that nerf is nothing. DKs are still super strong.

Hes a fury main and he canât pve rotation win nearly every 2âs games when another melee contender shows up. He has to protect his rating.

Rating doesnt matter anymore like it used to. Any rating you earn this xpac is just welfare rating and doesnt count imo. Hopefully next xpac blizzard doesn something to help pvp out.
Werenât you asking if your proud 2.4 on 2s would grant you glad?

Prolly not enough. Iâd want their damage nerfed a little more, but compensate them in some other way like an armor buff so they are more tanky against melee. This would slow their pressure ramp up, but would allow them to live long enough to actually do so.
Not sure if thatâs the correct way to do it, but Iâve always seen UHdk as more of a rot comp melee that excels at living rather than a high burst dps
Issue now isnât melee, casters running rampant. And necro shows up on damage meters now which artificially inflates dps.

The legit anti caster cleaver.
Iâve bowed to our DK overlordsâŚ
Canât wait to TSG!!
So mind blown this is a conversation right now. I was 2700cr in 3s pre buff and I can safely say our damage was nerfed and our necrotic was slightly buffed. What most people donât know, because they are ignorant, is that prepatch if you procâd an on use trinket with unholy frenzy and spammed it 6 times and burst all the wounds, necrotic strike was actually stronger 8.0 and I doubt mes or any of my dk friends who were 2.5 plus pre buff would disagree with that.
Dk has never struggled with casters besides maybe frost mage cuz frost is anti melee. Dk in general tho is the anti caster melee dps due to having ams amz and dark sim. I donât know the current state of dk when facing casters, but I think making them even stronger against them would be a mistake
Arenât you like 2K with a 6 second sharpen on a 25 second cool down? Ouch
