Unholy Dk underpreforming in pvp

After patch 12.0.5 Unholy Dk is under preforming in pvp. It feels like you do allot with no damage in return. Necrotic coil hits like an air balloon and RP build up is very low and slow, resulting in resource exhaustion. Festering scythe is also messing up the RP build up, combined with the free scourge strike from set bonus, you will get no RP at all and causes the resource exhaustion early on. In stressed situations you can’t build RP fast enough to use Deathstrike. Since unholy dk damage is severely nerfed, the spec feels really off and needs a buff. It all about the ghouls now and our pet, but outside our burst window you will do no pressure at all. If they kill your pet.. you are useless in your burst, because again necrotic coil and scourge strike don’t do damage at all. Now the patch allready showed how a bug within pets can totally mess up damage. And the lesser ghoul summoning from sudden doom..is causing unwanted pulls. That’s not what a Unholy Dk is about, more power to dk please and less to our pets, we are not BM hunters. Death coil should be a finisher and the way shadow claw hitted in War within, way more fun then it is now. Unholy should be reworked like it was, a combined slasher and a beamer. Not bugged pet based useless spec. Same goes for Forst, should be slashing like a truck. But also received endless nerfs. It’s fine for a disc priest the have absorbtion shield, but fear for the blood Dk absorbtion shield, also nerfed to oblivion. So right now you have a popular class who is underpreforming in every aspect of the game, pvp and pve alike. Now I’m forced to either re-roll and throw away all my time of work spending on this class. Or just leave this game for what it is.

Blizzard needs to pick a damn lain in which the burst profile should be in UH, i personally think they should do a propper pvp tuning to our undeads so our burst is more front loaded when bursting instead of relying on 1 shot Putrefy Soul Reaper combo.

yeah UH dk is god tier in pve
but in pvp is dog tier

unfortunately Unholy dk will never get PvP buffs while its good in PvE
thats the reality

so dont hold your breath, if anything id expect more nerfs that affect pvp, because pve is strong

Frost is the way to play for PvP at the moment.

*the Worst XP i got is when i got Hpala dispell ur disease every global like nothing psecially the main “dread plague” i feel the bigest lose damage….. “with spam Dispell every global (cleanse of the weak PVP talent).” How we will Do damage? there is nothing to counter it. if Hpala will be meta healer we doomed even more

Full gladiator geared and you can’t even kill a single target at hight rating, pushing 1800 now, but impossible because of the ridiculous 20 %nerf. Death coil is total joke, the whole class is a joke now in pvp. Unholy is in a bad unfinished state in bugged expansion. First the dev team let DK unholy rely on pets and then nerf it. Now you don’t do damage at all without burst. Just a waste of time. But ey Knight of the old republic is coming, time to leave this buggy old game. if the dev team does not care about ballancing. Why care about the game.

Well, it is not bad as much as you said and complaining about the whole game!

If you need spec, less pet more base, just change to Frost guys, just reaper mark deals 100k dmg.it is so fun.

But i like the style Uh dk now, it is unholy ! Fully shadow base. Managable, high burst, high consistence.

However you are right it needs buff! It got too much nerf. It needs to get buffed at least 15% some abilities and 5% overall. They nerfed tge class as hell :slight_smile:
