DK its heroic class with army of deads for all spec. DK its vampire with best self healing and never mind what spec you chosen (should be)
DK can manipulating life - death and flesh.
When we made Shadowmourne, step with unholy infusion was with plague and gas not with pet`s
I am angry that “blizzard” try change specific for Unholy DK from plague to undead-pets
in Shadowlands patch:
From my perspective class Unholy DK must have fix in:
Outbreak -
a) add dependency from critical strike for chance to erupt each time it deals damage
b) return miasma that infects nearby enemies
Death Striike -
a) returns to runes managment (not runic power)
b) heal has fixed percent for you
Spent Rune don`t await another runes for recover and have fixed time recovering
Bones shield - returns active ability (from LichKing patch)
Rune auras - returns active auras (from LichKing patch)
a) blood aura improve your heal and damage
b) frost aura improve your armor
c) unholy aura improve time to recover runes
You have clearly misundertood unholy then, it has always been about the pets, its “main” talents originally were permanent ghoul, corpse explode (could be used on ghoul for burst),anti-magic zone, ghoul frenzy and gargoyle. It had basically no real disease focus which seems weird when you think about it.
Frost on the other hand at least had the trait that prevented disease removal on obliterate, multiple additional debuffs that applied with frost fever and an aoe cc which also applied frost fever.
If anything, frost actually had a bigger focus on the disease than unholy did, it was just missing a couple of blood plague benefits to solidify that.
Not necessarily because DK Unholy had Ebon Plague (it increased magic damage), Wandering Plague (random interaction for frost fever and blood plague).
Scourge Strike, Plague Strike and Blood Strike did not remove disease from the target.
The diseases themselves were much stronger than their counterparts in the Blood or Frost specialization.
Unholy had the most severe diseases and pets from all DK specs. He specialized in both of these things (diseases and pets).
PS. I also hope that Blizzard has not forgotten about diseases for Unholy and will present changes, good changes for this resource of power.
At the moment Frost spec in diseases better because his frost fever is stronger than virulent plague (Legion and BFA) and there are no problems with its application on the target.
It is funny for me, good ideas are implemented as anima power for the tower, while long ago they should be as class skills.
