I have noticed that other classes lower ilvl than myself does the same or better damage than I do. Sometimes I do twice as much damage as the whole party in mythics and then I struggle keeping par and see hunters and ret paladins or even well gear tanks doing more damage on mobs? Is this a problem with Unholy DK or is just me? What am I missing? - My gear is not perfect as I am still gearing up. My crit is 17%, haste 20%, Mastery 45% and Versatility 7%. What is the soft and hard caps for haste and crit if there is any? I am new to Unholy DK by the way and got all my tips from ICY on rotations, essences etc. But so far RNG keeps giving me bad rolls. Need help as I do not want to roll another class I enjoy my DK!
Also I noticed players are not very keen to invite a DK to higher level mythic dungeons. From 7 up they will pick another class over my DK. I just feel at ilvl 456, I should be doing a lot more damage.
unh DK has probably the best aoe dmg in trash in m+, it just needs a rampup time other classes do not, if stuff dies to fast then unh never reaches max aoe, its easier on higher keys when mobs survive longer
check this video and check the DK dmg a few seconds into each pack
also, the raid and m+ stats are almost the oposite, u want haste+crit for raids and mastery+haste for m+, which basicly requires a new set of gear and specific talents for m+
in your case, 45% mastery might be very low, just keep saving gear and +% mastery corruptions, they are cheap and scale exponentialy (the more mastery u got the more mastery they will give)
i for one, reach over 100% mastery while still having 20%crit and 20% haste because of those corruptions
Thanks for the feedback. Some sites argue mastery is our weakest stat and then some says go all mastery etc. I can’t be asked to collect 3 different gear sets!? It is just madness!!!
I hardly raid. I pretty hate the repetition of wipe try again. Healer leaves get new healer try again etc. Hey where did my Saturday go?
I like to do PvP but thanks to the idiots running WOW design at Blizzard I am forced to run endless RNG Luckless mythics to try and gear up to do PvP.
I thik I will stick to your go mastery and try 20% haste and 20% crit. I just find it absurd that a Hunter or Frost Mage or Ret Pala seems to effortlessly match my DPS when they are 20 ilvls below me. It looks like with Unholy DK all the planets needs to align for us to be awesome.
Because of the azerite trait+essence scaling from it and it being highest damage ability in raids above any corruption etc. With high mastery it is close to irrelevant what i do as player.
