Any good comps for unholy for 2/3s? I am Venth, and I am considering switching to necrolord, just don’t know if I need to switch to be competitive, and get 1800 this time around. If I do I will have to switch I guess. I feel like I’m stuck at 1550 rn. I do have lego for frost, not opposed to playing it.
From my understanding unholy is just meh atm. Mostly enh shamans healing for days to full hp in a global or ww/ret pallies blowing folks up. Sometimes you get lucky and get undergeared folks and those who don’t know pvp and will stand and eat your abom and melt. But mostly folks will outburst us or just out mitigate. RIP death strike heals.

I’m a venth uh main and I dont think swapping to necrolord would make much of a difference. For 2s I find its easier to pug with priests PI+ Arch wings gives u alot of dmg

I am running unholy still for 2s and 3s (2s partner is a ww, 3s is hpal ww or hpriest ww). It really shines vs rogue mage comps. Problem is it’s rot and doesn’t have the short burst windows like you need these days. Frost looks more meta friendly, but I just can’t let UH go.
Biggest problem is mm hunters. Curse them. We hates them.
Maybe not at lower end of play probably not . But ultimately slappy hands has a LOT more utility vs virtually any class that will try to kite you.
slappy hands is def better for sticking onto a target trying to kite you.
swarming mists is better at survival tho, it funnels up to 15rp per second for 8 seconds allowing you to dcoil urself during lichbourne since dstrike sux. also allowing you to have more rp for dcoils to get DT cd up faster during cd downtimes.
i personally think necrolords is all around better but do feel vynth is stronger in certain circumstances for both peeling/dmg

My opinion:
-
Necrolord is definitely better for PvP. The benefit of the arm is self explanatory. There are many outplay potential as well with the fleshcraft.
-
I think you’ll find more success in 3s than 2s. In 2s it’s all about cheese, and as UH you’ll get cheesed very hard.
This is why I hate covenant so much. I’d like to switch for PvP, but I can’t. Sucks.
Arms/Unholy/X
Windwalker/Unholy/X
Those are gonna be your go-to options. You’re there as support, helping to set up kill windows as the DK
If you wanna run something less mongo, with a little more potential for outplay versus more skilled players that can handle melee cleave damage…
Unholy/Affliction/X
Unholy/Shadow/HPal
Your shadow priest/warlock will rot the enemy team down and you come in with the ST damage to finish it off. You can even cleave teams down as well with this style, since Unholy has that potential. Frost does too, but Unholy’s damage is IMMENSE and drawn out, rather than one go.
For healers, Disc Priest probably your best option followed by Hpal, and then Resto Shaman. Disc for more of a rot comp, and Hpal if you wanna go super offensive (like running with an Arms Warrior for example)
Have fun, UH is not as bad as people like to say. It’s just not part of the current meta, doesn’t mean someone determined to play Unholy can’t make it work to a high level

Played with both a shadow priest and a warrior in 3s. Both are a lot of fun but I think I enjoyed playing with a shadow priest more, feels like you have a lot more control.
As for covenant you should be slappy hands for sure. It’s just way more useful and does a lot more damage, which in this meta is what you’re looking for.
Lastly frost is better than unholy in the current meta by a fair margin. Unholy damage is very good but the set up time is just so long whereas frost burst is quick, easy to get off, and a lot higher initially. I enjoy unholy way more but am gonna be swapping full time very shortly.
