Reasons why DK needs a rework yesterday

Hello everyone. I feel the need to voice my opinion as to why this class ( frost specifically as I one trick the spec ) needs a rework badly.

I feel like currently DK’s are one of, if not the only class that heavily relies on cooldown to do any sort of damage. Not just a lot of damage, but tank levels of damage.

Why can’t we have the same treatment like other classes? Why do I have to wait for a KM proc for my ability (Obliterate) to do more than 30k? Why do I also have to wait for Pillar of Frost so I can have guaranteed KM procs to do damage? Why can’t I have my damage spread evenly between my abilities so that it doesn’t feel terrible when I press anything else but a KM Obliterate?

Death and Decay cleave needs to go. Right now we’re the only class forced into playing in a ground effect to do any meaningful damage, all whilst having to dodge mechanics or other ground effects on top of it. It is unfair and does not belong in the game as is right now.

And lastly, utility. How is it that DKs are not able to help in any shape or form? Why can’t DKs give a buff, why can’t DKs purge, dispel, soothe? We had AMZ that got gutted the moment it saw play in CN. Ever since then it’s close to useless. We have no off healing either. No party DR. The only thing we have is being tanky to the expense of losing ALL our damage that’s baked in a 12 second duration.

That’s it from me, and I’m fairly sure I didn’t say everything. But I’d like to see these things changed.

Thank you! :slight_smile:

I feel like DK’s are the special forces of WoW. incredible bursty for 12 secs in a specific area(DnD) and then simple spectators of the fight !
The only think i love at DK’s now its their tankiness and theme.

I could say, “there’s at least 10 entries on the front page of this forum requesting a rework/revamp of sorts” but I’d this stage, I’m just going to say JOIN THE CHORUS! :smiley:

Hopefully, we’re next on the table after mages.

i dont think so blizz dont care about DK in a decade maybe we had worst 4sets now and in sl we are bad in M+ we have to manage 10000 stuff to do dps but look at classes like rog and dh :smiley: just press this 3 or 4 ability and u are good to go

I don’t think it has anything to do with them caring or not. I truly think that they have no clear direction where to go with the class. It feels like it needs a complete rework from the ground up, bandaid fixes will not help this time around
