8.1:Necrotic strike change missing from patch notes?

Classes Death Knight
1

Maybe i’m just blind, but I was sure they intended to change Necrotic Strike. Slightly buffed base damage and 8% healing absorb based on the target HP.

Also where is the gcd change for Death Grip. Or the small % of overall damage for unholy?

So far these 8.1 changes for DK are quite disappointing. They could have slapped these into a hotfix. Right now as PVP stands: 0.9% representation above 2k rating. 1% representation in PVP above 2.4k in NA and EU. Seems legit. ( I know more variables matter, but it’s definitely a poor reflection on the current state ).

People have been voicing their concerns about DK for quite a while, i only hope the patch notes are incomplete/enough to make it worthwhile to stick around.

Edit: I understand that everything on the PTR is subject to change, but i think the changes on the PTR weren’t something over the top and within acceptable boundries.

Was thinking the same thing myself about necrotic…

Bloody joke about death grip when you see classes like DH get mobility off the gcd xD. Even still, I wouldn’t touch a DH with a sh!tty stick.

death grip is still way better than a charge, for obvious reasons

altho, it wouldnt be the first time they changed stuff at last min, lets wait for tomorrow and see if necrotic was changed or not

Patch notes aren’t entirely accurate, they’re for the previous ptr build, not the one that went live.

Tooltip in game hasnt been changed, but necro should have been buffed, according to the us forums atleast, they are quite certain the change is live

Pros and Cons … Charge can be used to escape also while death grip doesn’t put you in danger
