Dks still worst melee spec in game

It’s sad indeed. I’d love to revisit my frost DK but currently that’s out of the question.

I’ve lost my hopes, classic wotlk seems like the only option to actually play DK

I’ve been saying this since January last year. DK has been dog tier all of this expansion. Unholy was literally unplayable up until 2 weeks ago and frost can only work as a support role in 3s and even then literally every other melee brings what you do but more to the table. 3 dks got r1 last season across eu/na and that says it all.
I’ve yet to properly test unholy in 2s but from the few games i’ve played it just looks like a worse version of every other melee still.
Dk’s have only been meta in rbgs this expansion and that bracket is again dead after the change to pvp gear in s2.
This time next year i believe we will be in wotlk so just hold out till that comes and then you can actually play a class that works properly. I’m so tired of being trash tier.
Yea, time to arm ur Shadowmourne and do some brain in wotlk
nice flame
Also warrior and ret can use the shadowmourne and I’m not even planning to grind for it.
Now go back to play your broken class in retail.
you can’t compare the power level of imba dk back in WotLK with warriors and palas
LOL dk has no healing reduction and if you see any tier list warrior is ranked higher than dk in 3s and 2s. It’s far from being op and not even the strongest. Same for pve.
Also how pity of a person you are.
You go in the worst class forum to complain when you actually play the strongest class.
ATM for every DK who reached 2100 in 2s there are 35 priests.

Considering that classic Wrath of the Lich King will likely launch with 3.3 balance patch, Death Knight won’t really be extremely overpowered. Retribution paladin was just as strong with Shadowmourne in 3.3.
Ofcourse it wont launch with 3.0, it will be 3.3.5a the latest patch as it has been with classic and tbc already. That’s also the way every serious private server does things.
Any1 whos thinks their going to be reviving their team mates in arena or 3 shotting people with frost strike in arena are in for a rude awakening. DK is good but it won’t be the broken class it was on launch. DK on launch was similar to say convoke druids ret palas and sub rogues in s1 of sl
it’s no where near that level of power come 3.3.5, it’s as strong as other bis melee. Same can’t be said for this clown of a expansion

Where is the bicepspump and its wisdom about Unholy DK’s great dmg?
The fact is, we’re currently the worst damage-dealing specialization in the game. We are no longer a melee class, now we are the worst dps (melee and rdps) in the game.
Great job Blizz !!!

It will only worsen because the fights will be shorter over time, and our niche, which already makes no positive difference, will lose even more importance.
In general, many classes without an execution phase do much better on Single Target, so this whole class desing is one big lie. Of course, you have to remember that in general, fights always contain some part of AoE that makes a difference. It all adds up to the class reception and its overall usefulness to the raid group.
We are the worst in every possible scenario, and I’m just mentioning raiding.
I don’t want to think about what is happening to us in M + and PVP … that’s just sad.
This makes it so that I don’t want to play the game anymore and I know that a lot of players just end up in a similar situation.
The balance of specialization is so disrupted that Unholy now needs a + -35% buff to overall damage in order to be on top of the list in order to be on top, in order to be in 2nd place, just behind the Survivival hunter.
It was a huge mistake to nerfed the mastery. Currently, to be in the top5, we would have to get a buff equal to + 30% mastery and count on a slight nerf of other classes.
This begs the question - how soon will the top classes get huge nerfs like we did in 9.0 CN?

thanks for the logs, I didn’t think they made unholy scaling so bad in pve.
It used to be at top but now at bottom, think blizz made wrong math here

Why do you feel the need to manipulate the numbers.
First you use 95th percentile which is just a bad place to look in the first place secondly you use mythic when not even world first guilds have killed everyboss again manipulating what is seen.
Unholy is doing badly sure frost on the other hand frost is doing quite decently but even if you just want to look at unholy and ignore that the class have two specs feral is doing worse then unholy if we look at better representative statistics.
It really begs the question why do you need to manipulate the statistics to make your spec look worse than it actually is in pve.
Manipulations? Then check logs for example for max %, 90 %, etc.
Each of these scenarios puts Unholy in last place.
Nobody wants to play this specialization for nothing and fight for the first kill. wake up bro.
When Unholy was doing well compared to other specializations in Castle Nathria, he immediately got a nerf.
Currently I don’t see any nerfs for hunters, for warriors, for warlocks, etc.

of course I’m making it up, and the best guilds in the world are picking the worst dps this patch…like
- 12 Melee: 4 Arms Warriors, 3 Frost Death Knights, 3 Survival Hunters, 1 Enhancement Shaman, 1 Havoc Demon Hunter
4 arms and 3 frost…
Compare compositions of the previous world first killings.

the dreadlors are actualy a interesting fight, basicly they put the best raid defensive CDs and stacked all in melee for better heal, then pick specs with strong cleaves as the fight is full 2 target cleave.
not being a dps race but a survival one. 2 rally and 2 amz for each dmg phase seem like somthing overtuned to relly on such abusive strong defense stacking
I think unholy will receive a buff when they do tuning. That said, it’s also suffering from frost being a good spec. Lots of good players swap, making the unholy logs worse. I can say from personal experience that it’d much easier to parse high as unholy atm (or maybe I’m just really good, who knows ;))

Agreed. As a Obli FDk i know how powerful we get once we got the 4-set bonus, and many dk’s see it too. Though i’m curious how powerful UH will be with their 4-set bonus during execute phases.
