While i know alot of people complained about Unholy being strong, this spec was not overtuned, just those players were bad against it. UHDKs dont have a big representation on top of the ladder, there are specs doing alot better in 2v2 and 3v3
-15% on all those abilitied overkill the spec. UHDK was perfectly fine. Strong, but tot the strongest. If until now unholy was an A+ tier, after the nerfs UDK will be C tier. Dead.
Blizzard please review the nerfs. Buff the underperforming specs, don’t kill the ones that already are doing perfectly fine.
While this post will get some hate from some players, they are the ones that are on the bottom and middle of the ladder. I play UDK and i also play other classes against UDK. Once you understand this spec, you know how to counter it. The pvp nerfs are overkill.
It seems you haven’t faced rogue and hunter CC.
The damage “tax” is too big. -5% or -10% would be acceptable, UDK would be B tier which is fine by me.
You encounter alot of UDKs at low and very low ratings, at high rating you will see very few of them. So if you forever stay at low rating that’s why you think UDK is not “healty” for the game. Strange word you used, Unholy purpose is to make you “unhealty”
For the last line you wrote, i already gave you my answer in the first post. Cry more? So toxic. You are for sure stuck on the bottom of the ladder.
This is the exact reason i never post from my main account. I don’t know if you can see the low number of games i played on this account. While i am not top 100 on my main account either, i have a good understanding of this spec atm.
If UDK will have a place in top 10 dps specs after the nerfs, i will come back here and apologise.
Top 100 in 2v2 - UDK = 4 players
Top 100 in 3v3 - UDK = 4 players
This was perfectly fine. After the nerfs, the UDK representation in top 100 will be 0. So everyone is happy now. Better be killed by feral than UDK, is that right ?
Yes, it needed, but taking away 15 % of top 3 abilities is way too much. -7% to -10% i would agree. -15 % is way too much. And better rework or nerf the CC rather than killing the dps.
That doesn’t make any sense at all. If you have another account with high exp and you posted from it here i wouldn’t have called out anything. I literally only check-pvp people when they post stuff like “if you disagree with me you’re low rated/exp”. If they happen to be multi glad it’s w/e, nothing i can say. But if they happen to be 1800 max xp the whole rating argument is just giga stupid.
Eh, I think the damage nerf is pretty justified. Maybe hitting Death Coil is a step too far, but the diseases absolutely needed bringing down a peg.
That said, unless a DK spec does enough damage to go into an arena and kill someone through every single defensive cooldown available, they likely won’t ever populate much of the top of the ladder because Blizzard doesn’t understand the fundamental issues of the class. Likewise with things like Retribution.
They need a defensive rework. Need to be made far less oppressive into casters and far more robust into physical damage. I’ve suggested before that they should get Presences back, or at the very least Blood Presence as a sort of Defensive Stance option.
UHDK being an unpunishable, zero counterplay landslide into magical damage isn’t balanced just because it dies the second it’s hit with physical damage. It’d be better for everyone to lobby for core fixes to the class instead of complaining that you’ll now run over wizards in 18 seconds rather than 15 considering that you’re still going to die to Ferals and Fury Warriors regardless.
