As a fellow DK PvP player, I am asking you reconsider the Necrotic Strike nerf.
The Necrotic Strike nerf is roughly a 30% debuff on our main source of pressure. And as DK do very little outside of burst windows (with abom, which is receiving a nerf as well), the current Necrotic Strike nerf means we won’t have pressure outside of very small windows. And I’m not talking about damage.
With the current nerf, we’ll be doing less control, less damage & less pressure than a rogue. Who does instant damage. Our tankiness will still be outmatched by our low mobility, and people will be able to simply ignore DKs. Totally.
Please reconsider the nerf, and let players have a choice outside of RMP/RMD.
Mate you were OP accept it. Check my thread from days before the nerf.
Your nerf is badly needed as you are one of the most broken pvp spec in the game. Just 8 hits with an ability that is totally spammable - Necrotic Strike removes 70% of your hp in heals THATS ABSURD. And it is refreshable and its not that every stack works on its own. So Thanks blizz for the nerf… Dont reverse
Actually you can’t hit 1 button to get Necrotic Strikes (NS) on a target. You need to apply wounds first, then transform the wounds into absorb with a NS. Both these actions requires runes, which you have in limited supply. Outside of big setups and burst windows, you can’t spam NS.
A big setup that does absorb (not damage, absorb) is absurd?
56% actually. You wouldn’t be able to reach that high since you only have 6 runes and you need Festering Wounds first.
A lot of classes were as you said “broken”, now, I do not want to sit here and defend Unholy or say that it isn’t powerful. It was powerful. But so are many other specs. Destro, WW, Elemental, Fire, Assassination, Havoc, Resto Druids, Hpalas, Fury in 2s, Arms, hell…even Frost mage. Why not buff underperforming specs instead? It would be so much better to buff those instead, so that they become on par with Unholy DKs, Demon Hunters and WWs etc.
You know that healers have no problems healing through that, right? And it is strange to hear about being OP from DH ofc if DH is your main And where did you got that 70% number? It looks like you have no idea how it works, dont you? But ohh well, as i said before, come back when 5% will still be ok for necrotic strike and you still will be losing to DKs
Wasn’t the main problem the self healing? They should have started small with a minor death strike nerf.
Going hammer and tongs onto necrostrike AND the Abom is not the way to do it, not at the same time and in such a big way. 30% damage and attack speed is huge, people will be able to tank it now which is bad design for a good dps cooldown.
On top of that it’s target can be random and can sometimes spend its duration wandering off to westfall. Making it controllable would be something to give back at least.
They nerfed some of the healing/absorb passives and we got an 5% buff, so probably we are still good.
Well I am really pissed about the abom nerf, but whatever.
That’s just my opinion, but I think that missing 2% doesn’t really matter in the long run, but that 25 sec burst window will be probably really crap thanks to how this nerfs synergizing.
Well thing is people basically want 8.0 UnDk back with all those DS, NS nerfs But at this point you can just delete DK from the game. Ohh and about DS nerf, yeah nerf it but compensate it with 20-30% overall dmg buff for all skills, and we will be fine with that.
Just think they have been too heavy handed with the nerfs here. Nailing offensive capabilities like that is just out of touch. A SMALL adjustment to deathstrike would have been fairer but they’ve kneejerked. I don’t even play unholy but even I can see this is too much.
At this point i dont even know what my class is for? I’m playing frost for now, just for fun, doing OKish in random pvp, 1v1 pretty unkillable, yet my dmg is just not there…hitting cloth wearers is frustrating, is there even difference in armor type now, since i have feeling that cloth armor is as strong as plate now. I’m looking like pianist playing DK, reacting to procs, spamming skills, cc, cds, yet HP on mage or priest barely moves… What Blizz is smoking there?
And it is strange to hear about being OP from DH 
with all those DS, NS nerfs
