No, I’m not actually joking. DK hasn’t had good/fun class design since MoP, it currently is by far the weakest class in pvp and blizzard even forgot that it exists since death grip isn’t even mentioned to be taken off gcd. It’s quite obvious now that Blizzard simply doesn’t want DK to be played anymore.
What even is fun about that gameplay? Apply Wound, burst wound, apply wound, burst wound while hitting like a wet noodle? I’m sorry but are there actually people out there who have fun playing like this the whole time?
What I suggest is that they just remove the DK class entirely and give every DK player a free class change, where every unique item (like CM sets etc.) are transferred to the new class.
And yes I used to be a DK main but gave up on it since it is just bad in every possible aspect. Gameplay is not fun, no mobility, no damage, no utility, takes more damage than cloth etc. etc.
We could integrate frost DK into frost mages to make them have a playstyle that switches between melee range and ranged, sort of a battlemage class that changes from ranged to close range and back depending on their mana
Playing pala atm since bfa prepatch. Boring af, but it has nice utility for raid, so it’s sorta fun (compared to other classes that do only dmg). Very few kind of entertaining things about legion dk were immortality of bdk and big unh numbers (enjoyed 14kk frozen heart and 7kk valkyr crits), but other than that it was very boring and degenerative. I was never into frost, but at least it has animations compared to unholy. I’m not mentioning, that 50% of talent tree should be baseline.
Jokes aside, deep inside my heart I hope wow will die in a few years by activision hands, because I seriously started to think of some things that involve real life experience, rather than sit and play any of my characters that I hate since bfa launch.
frost dk, would likely integrate into rogue as a sort of unseen dark reaper to be honest, things like cheapshot converted to reapers touch or something to freeze/stun the target from stealth.
You clearly didn’t played as Warlock in PvE.
Ok o get it, you are frustrated. But you must admit that DK are not the worst class in the game right now. I play in unholy right now, and i may not beat everyone in 1v1 scenario, it is still better then Warlocks as whole and Spriest.
Crawing for deleting someclass isn’t a right way to deal with it, i would rather see that blizzard fired current class-dev team and hired some one who cares about classes.
Belive me, i as warlock know how you feel. I’m feeling bad second Xpac in the row, and before you said that Affli in Legion was a beast, i want to remind you, that when class good number wise, it doesn’t mean that gameplay is good.
Almost done leveling a BDK and it could be my lack of prior experience and expectations, but I’m finding it a lot of fun. A bit clunky at times, compared to silky smooth Paladin tanking but with so many toys to play.
The entire concept of World of Warcraft is that there are 2 warring factions that fight one another constantly. In light of this entire theme, if PvP is not the centrepoint of all balance changes then you do not have a game.
Futhermore, PvEers will not care about changes one way or the other as they will always default to what gets the pre-determined content done regardless of what system they attempt to implement to stop it. Thus PvE based class changes are futile.
Blizzard are working around the clock to make this game as good as it can be for the whole player base and I honestly love playing with my frost death knight right now. Sure I might not be able to pull off high or consistent DPS but at least I can do all of the content I want to do with my cool ice breath and flying frost dragon thing. I might not have a ghoul or be able to have decent cc or survivability, but I do get some cool animations and armour sets to appreciate.
There’s more to be found in a class than just how strong or powerful it is. You really have to look into the nuance of the matter. Perhaps you’re just not playing it as intended? Or maybe you enjoy playing a popular class like druid, I dunno. Just remember to appreciate those who work so hard for you to enjoy your game.
I think they need to concentrate on the actual players (nerds) who play this sh1t more than 3-4 hours per week, and not on whole player base, because most of them are casuals who don’t know anything about good mmo design. And because they try to appeal to the whole player base, they appeal to noone in the end, leaving players with the most casual and over-rewarding content like warfronts and WQ titanforging.
Not to mention, that noone does open w-pvp for fun, just for weekly cache, because it’s not fun, when 25 ppl corpse-camping you for 10\10 quest. Other than that there’s no real reason to pvp. And server lags when it’s even 20x20. Back in my younger days (2010-2014) I was playing korean mmo, that could handle 200x200 and even more w\o any lags, if you have decent pc. I believe, Ion said, that WoW engine just can’t handle that and there’s nothing developers can do, but what they could do is to give us something like Wintergrasp, but more interesting it’s 2019 after all. But all we have is Darkshore with npcs. Hi blizz.
