Why I support dh/dk (kinda)

If for a moment you look past the stuff we all know and have already heard, “blahblahblah braindead blahblahblah boosted 1200 players to glad blahblah”. You will see what I have, as this comp is obviously hated right now by many(not saying you’re entirely in the wrong for this mindset). However I would honestly view it as a sort of vigilante who we may not like but are doing a sort of justice to the meta regardless. Mainly in keeping some of those pesky rmpallas in check, and certain other caster cleaves and comps that are in my opinion equally “braindead”. All I want to say is next time you see your neighborhood first time glad dh player or dk with decked out pve gear to just remember they probably gave at least one of those rogue mage teams you don’t like a hard time and a few sleepless nights filled with despair. Possibly you can find that one shred of respect for them in that well done duty alone.

i would rather die in 3 minutes to rmpala where hp bars move

having a 7-10 min game where the dh/dk team does absolutely nothing except press self heal/burn is infuriating

both are tumors tho

id rather q into rogue mage instead of dh\dk where the dh is chasing my healer down with insane mobility while the dk and rdruid 2v2 me and my partner

At least with RMPal I feel like I have some sort of win condition because they actually die.

thank god the hpal/dk/lock player has come to grace us with the fact that none of the specs he plays are toxic

Anything good right now is toxic. Between PvE gear and miserable class design, PvP by and large isn’t fun. You’re either gibbed by some moron spamming sheep or gpyro, some rogue hitting KS on CD, a lock with two chaos bolts all in the time it took for his havoc’ed mortal coil to wear off, a brain dead DK or DH just running you into the ground, a WW monk just never being able to be peeled, or any host of other things. Who likes how stupidly tanky shadow is other then Spriest?

Healers, Rdruid/MW/Hpal are leaps and bounds above Shaman, which is above priests because Lol pack spirit ghost wolf immortality.

This “organic meta” they’re going for is awful and I’ve pretty much stopped playing because of it.

Both rmpal and dh/dk are free titles this season, plz nerf ^^

If mana rift is changed to something not completely broken I would support it. The comp itself already does enough damage to ooms healers, but throwing in a 10% mana burn every 30 sec is unbearable. Can’t get drinks because of pet, can’t get pet off because it just gets resummoned every 30 sec.

Hey remember the time you queued into a DH/DK and you said, “Wow, those guys are miles above every other DK/DH on ladder. Truly good players.”

Ya me neither. Can’t tell the difference between a R1 DK/DH and a 2200 one. Same goes for a R1 RMPala (The Rogue/Paladin) and a 2200 one.

Both comps are equally dumb, i’d rather que into RMPal however…

Both comps are annoying to play against. Dh/Dk doesnt die and has great peels for healer. RMPal is eventually going to kill in a stun due to the sheer amount of pressure(Rot/sustained) they put out. I’d argue RMPal is worse to deal with when the mage actually has a brain(read as non-gpy spamming mage). Basically if they cycle cd’s right they usually have 1-2 more cd’s than other comps. Which is why alot of team’s try to get hpal bubble in opener to set them back.

Dh/Dk is disgusting though for different reasons. Ranged snare, x2 ranged kick, x2 ranged stun, aoe stun, grip, mana burn, necrotic strike, and unpeelable dh. I haven’t listed healer utility yet because it’s overkill.

Point is this meta sucks and play what you want.

This entire meta blows and it’s obvious that Blizz isn’t even trying to balance it. If I didn’t enjoy pve I would have unsubbed already.

Whining about it at this point is a waste of time; they’re not going to do anything.

DK/DH is aids, but anything is better to fight than RMPally pressing 3-4 buttons each and winning.

You think we like pressing kidney poly and gpy? Its boring af

Edit: i played with a 2700 mage who didnt understand kidney could be used for cc in sub rmp. He also didnt understand that waiting for stun means you dont have to juke anything… bfa is great

People that complain about brainless and easy comps and act like it’s the only thing they can play is ridiculous. RMPala isn’t the only T1 comp you can play and there are others that take way more skill.

Play with Marksman Hunters.

Is this how meta evolves?

I’d Q into dh/dk any day rather than fight an rmpal

So with a dh spamming mana burn it takes you 7-10 mins to go oom? Sure does sound like an OP ability.
