Wowhead is not infallible. Explain to me how they have 10,469 votes for Unholy when the official thread very clearly shows half that.

Season 2 was better! Rigged!
only in M+, its trash for PVP. im actively replacing my tier with crafted gear which gives me a better damage increase from stats than you get with the 4 set bonus. i imagine the stat increase next season will mean taking even the S3 2 set will be a gearing trap for pvpers.
the S2 bonuses are not only usable in pvp, but they are good too.
-Season 1 set bonus felt bad/lame. You buff pet, pet might buff you back if your lucky.
-Season 2 had my muscle memory from maining Unholy Dk for 10 years betraying me. “Blow Army 3 sec before pull to not add more combat globals”
-Season 3 the Magus from the set bonus actually competes pretty closely in damage with our pet and on a quick 45s CD too. At max ilvl with enough haste The ghoul from the set bonus seems to do a lot St too. As long as you are geared to the teeth, enough to have a ridiculous amount of mastery to let you funnel haste 1 stat behind mastery because of mirror. Before season 3 in M+ it was (Diseases / Epidemic) doing around 45% of the overall Damage with our Ghoul doing around 9%. Everything else <5-4%. If that’s all you know, unholy Dk got one hell of a buff in Season 3 Right? The Problem is that at the same time They took away our mini lust --Unholy assault-- It went from +20% haste to +20% Damage along with a nice 25% Nerf to Army of the dead damage, *In Raid it was 25% nerf to gargoyle as well. lol Sooo of course the entire wow community said to give Pi’s to someone else since the Unholy Dk’s Single target blast window was nerfed by around 30% in all. Those Single Target nerfs hurt our Aoe Patination too much to still get PI in M+ apparently. But we got a +12% to Apocalypse’s Ghoul damage “Not the Set bonus Ghouls just the ones that do 2% of your damage” a +20% to Festering Strike +12% to Scourge Strike and a nice <.< +12% to Death Coil to help beef up our Aoe from losing 10% epi damage from taking off season 2’s set >.> … The 13 or so button opener use to feel kind of bad with the Pi and the personal 20% haste. It was around a 25 seconds ramp 35 seconds into fight before the point where you blink and go from tank damage to making everyone else look like they aren’t doing anything. With our mini lust gone and Shadow priests don’t even seem to pi anyone anymore anyway tbh. I know its not really twice as long to get through the opener. But it sure does feel that way. When your competition of getting into a m+ group a ‘Pally’ for example 6 buttons from +combat hit 1k dps easily. Hard to mess up 3 Straight forward cd’s Click the button and your stronger with a 3 button rotation . What good is there in an unholy Dk being able to do 1.6k dps around 45 seconds into the fight as long as everything is still alive Climbing for a while past the Ret Pally’s damage taking a drop. When in reality the Pally already killed the pack.
only in pve, its basically worthless in pvp. iirc a 0.1% damage increase.
I PvE’d on unholy from MoP to SL. I quit in DF because I was tired of tracking all the small buffs and excessive # of CDs to perform well. I’d love to go back but won’t with the current state of unholy and I think frost is Garbo so I don’t play that.
