Superstrain issue for uh DK

Classes Death Knight
1

So I have been trying to run Superstrain in v3 on my dk. After a few games I realized that something was wrong and that I had just bought a leggo that clearly doesn’t work as advertised.

When I read the description of the leggo what I understand is that whenever I apply Virulent plague on an enemy it also apply a weakened version of Frost fever and Blood plague. My assumption was then that improving my Virulent plague with talents and conduit it would also improve the other two plagues.

Well it turns out that no. Using the talent Ebon fever or the conduit Lingering Plague doesn’t change a single thing to the other two plagues. We still get the same terrible damage from them. It’s just so badly thought that when running Ebon fever Virulent plague lasts 15sec while the other two 30 sec. So you have to refresh Virulent plague even if the other plagues are still up…

After a few more test I also realized that blood plague (shadow damage) always deals less than frost fever despite Dreadblade. So either blood plague damage is terrible or Dreadblade somehow doesn’t work on Blood plague.

Either way, ignoring my second point, please make talents and conduit affecting Virulent plague also affect the other two plagues. It will probably not make Superstrain strong but at least it will be playable.

Superstrain was HEAVILY nerfed in beta, then lefted in its “balanced” state

i am not shocked blizzard haven’t sorted that out to make it clearer for players but when you look at most of the death knight legendary’s they are passives or undertuned legendary’s but for the virulent plague talent that’s intended to only effect that disease but the legendary doesen’t address the 2 other dots so it will get misleading duo to that

Seems pretty obvious to me. Nowhere on the tooltip does it say that the lego does anything other than apply the two other diseases, and nowhere in the talents / conduits does it say that they affect diseases in general and not just Virulent Plague. Basic reading comprehension.

Would be cool if it worked that way, sure, but it doesn’t.
