Shadowlands unholy dk pvp experience so far

@ every troll and DK hero, who dominates pvp at 1250 rating.
Dk is the worst class in the eu 2vs2 ladder above 2k. What ever your feelings are - its a fact.
The class representation is at 1.9%

And its not much different in lower ratings, and even smaller representation as you go higher.

But why mention this, all you get in response is the representation-doesnt-say-anything`memes and arms/ret/ww/sub/boom/spriest/fmage-players who tells you that dk is completely fine.

True, to be honest, I hate that when People instantly judging by cr. I’m currently at 1400ish on 2v2. But I can’t even take it srsly, as soon as I face any current meta class, lose is guarantied. I was 2k+ in BFA, when DK wasn’t op, but also wasn’t terrible. Currently, even if I would take it srsly with full versa gear, I can’t belive I could pass 1.6-7k.

Yeah im more or less in the same boat.

You also have those who was stuck at 1500ish rating in bfa, who are now 2k+ because beyond broken spec.

Ehhh… i play Unholy Deathknight in pvp, and no caster has a chance against me… im sittin on their head 24/7 with 24sec anti magic sheild that heals for spell dmg taken, 70% movement slow for 11sec ( rune cost 1 no cd) and we have 4 interupts… Deathgrip/Mindfreeze/Gnaw/Asphyxiate…

when i play against melees rogues or monks i feel like im a cloth user… i die in the first opening from a Rogue (same ilvl) even if i trinket he vanish wait for diminishing return and kill me in first opening again.

Cool story BOB, but nobody in their minds use AMS legy, coz UDK have zero pressure, he need DMG as air. Seems like u are theorycrafter form Blizzard HQ?

I think the answer is to take 1 or 2 CDs off GCD, it would make it less of a set up and more of a burst. Also sort NS out to make it work again, it’s what gave UH an edge in pvp.
Another option is to make crypt fever base line for apocalypse and buff it from 8% to 10/12%.

We don’t even fit into rot comps any more, boomies dots are stronger than us so that could be an option to increase our dot dno.

I hope blizzard sort this, and doesn’t just tend to frost leaving unholy as a PvE spec,

i mean everything about this class is now wrong this was a very unique class in tha wrath of the lichking and now look at it we have nothing to be unique
the main problem with dks is overnerfing and the honor talents its like so bad design for example reanimation lol its just so funny that its still there from legion

Don’t worry your pretty little head about it, we will get nerfed more.

SL is more or less done for DK. I believe we will be crap until 10.0.
Now, as always in later expansions, we will be patched and glued together (hopefuly) to not be too crapy, but I don’t think more will happen.

So in short, DK sucks and we need to choose a different melee spec.
Don’t like Rogue and yet this is the one melee spec that has been top dps for the last 3 expansions since Legion?? Some idiots at Blizz really LOVE rogues!
Ret Pala looks good but can’t be trusted… the moment Ret gets too much played then BOOM they get nerfed.
Demon Hunter has been nerfed into the ground with self heals…
Warrior seems Arms is doing good and Fury is not.
Monk sounds also OP at the moment
Feral druid sucks big time I hear.

So basically you have 3 choices: Sub Rogue, Ret Pala or Arms Warrior?
Sucks as I really really really only want to play Unholy DK!

Unholy is the go to for easy kill, for just about any other class. Even healers laugh their asses off if we target them.

PvE, why Blizz has memory fail at every expansion? Uh does not scale well with better gear, we never have, we fall behind as gear goes up, Fury Warr always cry at start of an expac, then a few months in with gear they creep up to top of charts. We sink. Not helped by the massive kneejerk nerfs (funny how fast and hard they were to gut us, based on a short and low number data period). Or tell me you have not noticed UHDks slipping down the dps charts, which will continue? Once puggers and raid leaders see us drop to middle of the pack, we get dropped.

Grip and AMz both situational, mid level dps = nah dude we got better dps with utilities available, plus your a slow, zero mobility melee, declined.

I like this, I think Crypt fever could use damage % and or duration increase, I think 5-6 seconds duration would be ideal.

A big no from everyone who knows pvp.

Low rated arena is not a problem for any class and spec. But if you want to climb past 1800 rating I can promise that you will feel a huge difference between you as unholy compared to the other melees in form of damage and defensives. There are equal to none unholy Dks on the eu/us ladder, and that says allot about the state of unholy in arena atm. As unholy in 3s, you play purely as support to your team. In other words, you need to be carried by some good classes AND players in order to do good.

Because more and more classes have the NOPE skill. Before, only a few classes had death avoidance skills.
That, and because we have no physical defense. I have no idea how we are a Plate class.
