If you check on warcraft logs, all star dps/ DK: both seems to do pretty fine. My guess is that UH is gonna be better with higher gear because it always scaled better than frost in high ilvls.

But i dont know what content you wanna play to…Id say if you dont wanna push very competitive content go for what you like the most.

Frost is easy to learn and imho not especially demanding, they have good sustained damage and even better burst AoE.
However they’re also slow and imho just dreadfully boring. But if you’re tired or distracted one day, they’re very forgiving.

Unholy is short just strong, which area they’re the strongest in depends on. Good at damage mitigation and with limited, but still useful, utility.
I find it to be more challenging, but also more rewarding.

Frost does have more utility actually, and I’d personally say Unholy is easier. Maybe not rotation wise, but utility/cd wise, as Frost requires thinking before burst. Not unholy really.

This

where I like to add that frost is indeed easy to learn at first. But if you want to minmax the specc it definetly requires some skill to time your burst. Especially in 8.2 where for instance movement during BoS has become more punishing.

Try both, and whichever you like most, you’ll do more dps with. They’re pretty close, middle pack I believe, which is nice considering we were 2nd and 3rd from bottom last tier.

im going to stick with unh as offspec just due to ill be focusing on 2H for blood

plus outdoor stuff is much easier as unh than frost because u can use DS as dump without losing much dmg and that alone lets u solo the 3M hp rares

Actually, you do get more Death Strikes off as Frost, which means, you’ll be tankier than Unholy. But yeah, you do lose more dps as Frost compared to Unholy.

I feel like the specs is quite equal right now.
Frost is the easiest to learn but still hardest to master. Unholy is abit more complicated but also more forgiving do to Dots an pets ticking if u mess up or cant connect.

In the end it depends on what you enjoy playing the most.

Frost is easy to get into and has good AoE.

Unholy is good for ST and AoE.
I see some say that Unholy isn’t good for AoE, which is an odd statement to make. Unholy has excellent cleave against multiple enemies.

“Fun factor” for me personally is Unholy. It is just too much fun zerging an opponent while self healing AND reducing their healing with Necrotic Strike. Our CD’s are short too with the right talents :slight_smile:

I think Unholy is better now.
