DK class current sad state and plead for changes

Even though i’m fairly casual player, Unholy and Frost specs are so atrocious compared to other melee that it’s not even funny at this point. Even visually it’s severely lacking compared to ret paladin that i switched to recently, just because it’s actually fun to play.
I’m honestly baffled blizzard continues to ignore the issue of dk’s and instead adds even more customization options for warlocks while DK playerbase still awaits the options to actually change the color of eyes to green,orange etc.
Blizzard please, approve the damn rework of dk’s before the literal playerbase hits 0

As for me dk got very nice mechanics with 3 type of runes (blood, frost, unholy) that u swap to death runes, and can use necrotic strikes. Dk was interesting with soul reaper + purge glyph, dk was really good, but main word WAS

Yup, a lot of blizzard famous classes got cosmetics, but not dk and not ret… I mean, ret class mount is ugly like squirrel from classic.

All classes want something special, but only special classes got it, sad.

Unholy dk is better than ever in pvp.
3type rune system was really bad we had to pres icy touch, pleague strike to apply desease that means 2runes leaving only 1frost and 1unholy rune for scourge strike then wait for rune reset.
Now its more simple and easier to keep up runes.
1rune apply all desease and its aoe.
Before we had to pres pestilence to spread desease and it costed one more rune.
Dk was good only because of high dmg gargoyle thats it.
Desease build is bad to slow and fake dmg cant compete with war,dh,monk,ret big hits.
Current clawing shadows wounds build with big death coils is perfect and simple.
If you guys now strugling with unholy dk then you have some problems.
Frost in other hand is really outdated with talents cant compete with modern reworked classes.

unholy dk was not about burst damage, only dot aoe build, like melee Affliction spec, that got high sustain + heals.
3 rune system was great, blizz make easier, now even warrior players can play dk too :DDDDD
Trust me, i played a lot on dk

Maybe desease worked before but now no.
Dk need big hits you cant let ret to get seconds wings or monk second serenity you gona die.
Right now dk constant dmg on single target is higher than others classes and personaly i think its better than ever from dmg side.
Defense its not that great.

only -real- change frost Dk has had since legion is boliterate killing machine procs doing frost damage, if not for that the class would have died, and actually got a better rework i am convinced.

expect more aura nerfs and absolutely retarded new abilities in TwW with anti synergy while rogues mages pala etc etc gets even better synergetic abilites and passives.

and another AMZ nerf because Raid spots need to be open for other classes, not us apparently

I’d like to see a DK rework… UH is a super specialist class. In raids, we work on full ST and when we get all the buffs, PIs etc… in M+ we work when we have tanks that do mad pulls and we can actually take advantage of our quadratic scaling. Anything else, basically sucks completely.

Frost is just one of the most boring specs in the game right now.

Blood can work quite well and is pretty good in a lot of cases, but still suffers from some core issues that have been around for a while.

Though considering they’re already pumping out Hero Talents, something is telling me that this won’t happen before 11.1 or even further down the line.

On the upside, seems like they did a little sneaky fix, sanguine now appears over defile, means we can actually see it now… A better fix would be to get rid of sanguine but anyhow. :stuck_out_tongue:

Still like in game play Frost dk but i agree about rework.Hope they will do this
