Unholy DK feels slow

Classes Death Knight
1

Hey,

So I just feel like our spec/class is extremely slow, not just in movement, but when it comes to DPS and rotation. Sure, there are a few good CDs, but when I play Warrior for example, it takes quite less effort to perform well, and the playstyle feels much more smoother. Do you guys feel the same with UDK or I just need to get gud :smiley: ?

I mean resource generation feels slow, I like the idea of wound stacking until I gotta use festering twice just to apoc.
I set it all up to find I got no runes to use anything, its making the CDs feel rubbish to use when you pip it all and then get stuck waiting for runes unless you get some rng.

A few tweeks would help.

  1. bring down CD of runes to 8 seconds base, allow all runes to recharge at the same time.

  2. remove rng for runic corruption and increase duration.

  3. festering strike increase wounds to 4.

Then buff mastery again and take off pvp reductions on strength buffs and healing on DS to as it is for PVE. With the burst there is no reason DS is still nerfed.

don’t forget an unholy dk is basically a dot/pet class and unless blizz is boosting dot and pet damage it is more put dots let pets do there ting and use cc as often as possible and never try to make a warrior out of him/her.

Try to play rogue, after rogue DK feels super-slowly snail, so clunky. Sometimes u feels like u need the whole life to start do dmg…

DKs have been garbage and slow for a long time now.
The first step on that ladder was blizzard removing presences, unholy presence with its 0.5 second GCD reduction and faster movement speed.
(Can’t remember if it affected rune speed I don’t think it did) it helped massively on fights where you had to be mobile and couldn’t commit as much DPS compared to warriors charging.

Presence removal is one reason why I don’t play DK anymore.
