-How is unholy dk damage overall now? (will tier sets make a big difference for dk’s?)
-How are unh dk’s in bg’s / rbgs? I would imagine grip would make them very desired in combination with amz etc
-How does unholy dk feel in arena now days?
They’re a lot better than last season. The tier set might make a difference if you go for the 4 piece for an additional 10% increased pet dmg because you can upward of 40% increased pet dmg if you run blight, the pet conduit and frenzied monstrosity but the stats on the tier set aren’t much to be desired as an unholy with it lacking a lot of versatility. DKs are welcomed into rbgs but frost is definitely more welcomed as they have 2 aoe stuns which is very nice in teamfights. Unholy feels nice in arena as of now with the conduit buffs. You are able to get about 3.5k-4k dps a lot of the time. It’ll be fun to see how the spec compare later on in the season when everyone has their tier sets. But I believe uhdk wont be much better than last season once everyone is geared up and tiered up and some of the tier bonuses are bonkers. Having increased dmg from the conduit buffs is very very very nice but it doesn’t fix some of the problems unholy has such as being extremly weak to physical dmg and being overall slow.
They need to buff the Enter Button
-I cannot name a melee spec UDHK can out dps in arena. Might keep up with a few.
-Fine in BGs. Any spec can be played in BGs. Rate BG? Don’t know. Educated guess? DKs always welcome for TC, Grips, aoe stun.
-Not as bad as S1 of BFA or SL. Feel competitive… till you get hit by 40k TVs and 100-0 in rogue Duel Kidney, on and on and on. Have never had a DK global me in a stun…
Overall I think dk is good. I like a lot of what they did for the kit in 9.1.5. There are just so many melee nuking right now it doesn’t feel as good as it should. Id like a reduction on our IBF and Festering strike to hit like its actually coming from a 2h. Bake in Cancerous Wounds somewhere.

problem is that we already had an issue with grip not working because of DR shared with knockbacks(?), various roots, grounding totems and various other magic/movement dampening effects, but now there is a trinket that makes people immune.
the classic idea of a DK target calling because they can grip a target in doesn’t work out so well anymore. nowadays deathgrip just fizzles out and goes on cooldown more often than not.
