DK 9.1 badly needed improvements

A message to top management of Blizzard. Regarding PVP arena. DK frost and unholy changes required in 9.1 patch. Blizzard please stop messing around with some of the classes as DK that will have no changes to balance the game. The DK’s class is one of the weakest classes as since as the release of Shadowlands. The class needs improvement. Everyone knows even you if you go to the ladder board of 2v2 or 3v3 there are almost none DKs at very high rating and that is for a reason. You are not doing any improvements on the class instead you keep downgrading and ripping the class. I know very well your strategy why you are doing this is because you want more players to give up with their DK’s and start leveling new classes to boost your profit, in that way people will stay longer in the game keeping busy and buying subscriptions. In that way you don’t think how many customers you will lose instead of retaining. Your whole management around retail WoW is completely wrong. At the moment you keep balance druid, feral, windwalker, warrior, DH, SP, Retribution, Hunter and sometimes warlock most boosted and powerful classes in the game in PvP, same time ignoring the rest of the classes that need improvement and balance. If you want to keep more ACTIVE players in Retail WoW, there are tons of other ways to do so, as make more often a new content as dungeons, arenas, add or change some talents, balance the game in Arena between classes, add new items, scale more often the item levels, add more trinkets to make the game more flexible, add new items and weapons. You have to change the philosophy on your game if you want to make good profit in our competitive gaming world, because there are many other games people could play. Make the PVP game competitive by the human skills and intellect, balance the game, don’t make people wining because are playing Retribution paladin or Balance druid just because of the class. Top priority is to stop all boosters in game for gold or any other currency, because of the boosters there are not enough healers to play in PVP in arena, and people are quitting the game already because there are many other games people could play. Once in your life do it right to retain your WoW retail players for good!

Smashing like for the sake of it, cus im also frustrated. But i highly doubt there is any management masterplan against dks and other bad specs in pvp atm. It simply lack of balance and outdated design. Some classes are for one - way easyer to play and require way less coordination, doing way more damage by simply using one button to activate their cd, pressing W and win…, and doing waay more offhealing …
While dks have… nerfed death strike not worth pressing… 3min def cd… and require way too much effort to setup a good chillstreak combo.
And unholy is even in a worse state atm… Hopefully the new honor talent changes will make it more competitive next patch and im looking forward to that.

UH dk feels very bad at PVE too. At least for me. Unholy Blight fester2x apocalypse fester D&D SS spam epidemic spam is very annoying.
almost same with ST too.

we need get rid of festerin wound quickly. and damned pet . we are BM now. even we are nothing without Dark Transformation.

UH DK needs rework as petless dot class(permanent pets are can stay) or more direct damage with changed mechanics.

Haha good one mate :rofl:

we will lose abomination and necrotic aura to take these new talents, i don’t think uh will be more competitive. Actually if nothing else is done, such deathstrike buff, it will probably be even worse

ye the loss of the both damage auras will suck. I rly hope for some damage adjustments and slight buff to compensate that. The new talents will not bring that much dmg to our kit.
Unholy scales best with mastery along the ilvl. And we will not gain much new mastery with the new gear. Secondary stats are affected by deminishing returns and we alrdy cap at around 40-45% mastery in pvp gear. Strength will help ofcourse, but other classes scale way better with ilvl than unholy.
And tbh noone is playing Abomination atm (for the few of us who try) .Only against mage/rogue teams.
We will wait and see…
