DK or Warrior Help Me to Decide

Classes Death Knight

Looking for proper melee class. For each 8.2 8.1.5 overall i really like dk and warrior both not shining at all but could not decide help me guys.

Having played both classes (only at a casual level) I’m enjoying the DK (UH) more than the warrior (Fury). There are more sustance to the abilities and talents to make it more fun.

But I do miss Heroic Leap :slight_smile:

I have both classes leveled and the main difference that I personally noticed between the Warrior and DK is the following:

Warrior

  • Attacks feel powerful and look similar
  • There is always a spell to press
  • Cool 2x2 handed mog (Fury)
  • I might be wrong here because I missed some aspect of the class, but specs felt easy to master

DK

  • Each spec has a cool unique theme
  • Slower and methotical spell usage
  • Closest thing we will probably ever have to a necromancer class
  • 1 easy and 1 harder spec to master (if anyone tries to argue that Unholy is easy for beginners I will automatically assume you haven’t learned the spec properly or you have forgotten how hard the spec was to start with)

Hope this helped :slight_smile: and yes I’m a DK fanboy

got both, like both.

the pros of each already mentioned above, the big diference is the mobility.
while the DK has better utility the warrior has better mobility

bias opinion: DK

I had a long period of testing out both DK, Paladin, and Warrior.

I personally found Warrior too boring/simple and had too much button mashing. Didn’t really think it had that many interesting utilities.

Paladin have all roles which is great, but a bit too much focus on defensive spells for my taste. Plus the whole “holy warrior” theme is a bit too… Religious looking for my own liking, even though I’m aware that lore wise they are not a religious group.

DK just look and feel badass. They have unique abilities and their specs are soo varied that you can try something different without needing to change class. Their lore is brutal and metal. Gameplay wise they are great at self-sustaining and have the unique ability to take away much of the opponents healing. Can’t think of other classes that does that.

Mained frost dk for quite a while now. Imo warrior is overall a more fun class, especially fury is a blast to play, very fast and lots of movement.

If you are planning to raid progressively the warrior also comes out on top, not only in terms of pure damage but also in terms of utility, as both rallying cry and battle shout are extremely useful abilities. Dk’s pretty much only bring their grip to the table which feels really awkward to use as, since 8.0, it is affected by global cooldown.

Looking forward to 8.2, both classes seem to gain extremely powerful new traits (essences), although that can be said for almost all classes.

Fun is objective tho, try both classes out in the class trial, watch some videos on their gameplay and rotation and decide for yourself. Also, don’t worry too much about which class tops the meters on wowlogs, all melee classes atm are more or less balanced.

I would recommend unholy DK i think everyone agrees that its the most fun spec in the game, frost is ok every now and then too

The simple answer is any non-plate melee as they all offer superior mobility utility and damage to their plate counterparts while having more defensive options and ways to simply avoid combat altogether if needed.

Would you rather be a badass DK or a boring, plain warrior? The answer is clear.

I think enhancement shaman is the obvious solution, all the power of a warrior paired with better magic than a dk, hell you can even summon ghosts.
