Why Are DK Saying They Got Nerfed?

They have 25 abilities that got buffed 5% and one that got nerfed 10%.

By my math:

5% + 5% + 5% + 5% + 5% + 5% + 5% + 5% + 5% + 5% + 5% + 5% + 5% + 5% + 5% + 5% + 5% + 5% + 5% + 5% + 5% + 5% + 5% + 5% + 5% - 10% = 115%

So DKs got an overall buff of 115% and are complaining??

:woozy_face::woozy_face::woozy_face:

Edit: Updated the math based on the actual wowhead ability list.

Not every single one of those abilities are weighted the same.

This looks like a case of diarrhea of the mouth.

Law of averages. It’s a 115% buff trust me

Well. Your math sucking besides the point, the Frost DK buff was a PvE one. The PvP changes all came out later. Generally speaking the buffs have nothing to do with each other.

In this case, yeah, FDK might have seen a small buff, the sentiment is that the devs think that FDK needs a nerf and not the grossly overperforming Mage/Pal/Warrior meta trinity.

    • Frost
      • [With regional restarts] All damage abilities increased by 5%.
      • [With regional restarts] Chill Streak (PvP Talent) damage has been reduced by 10%.

The patch tomorrow was updated this evening. So now, small buff to little abilities to help in pve, and a nerf to their burst in pvp.

Bro did you not see my math? It’s a huge buff

Law of averages or something like that

Yeah, I’ll be straight up honest, I have no idea what the numbers on Chill Streak mean and how they bear out in relation to a global damage buff.

I put the caveat might in there because while I know the nerf is impactful, a 5% buff on everything is fairly significant as well.

What an idiot.

The basic combo of a frost dk is to get 2 enemies together, leg sweep/dragon stun/blind them or w/e, then let their chill streak bounce between them (this build stacks mastery just for this purpose) while doing your burst dmg.

The chill streak done this way is very very strong, ngl.

Can we talk about unholy please.

Yeah, I know what they do and the general theory behind it, but I don’t know how the numbers bear out exactly, because it does lose 10% damage, but does it also gain 5% as mentioned? Thus the net nerf is 5% on the CS for a 5% everywhere else? In which case you might make the damage up with just limb+breath?

Afaik because Chill Streak is a PVP talent and not a normal ability that’s built into the frost dk kit or normal talents, it would not have received the 5% buff.

Can’t confirm.

Breath? I assume you mean Fury of Sindragosa (the dragon coming in for a fly-by?)

Cause I haven’t seen a dk take breath in like years (in pvp.)
