Who else is using Obliterate

So who else has gone back to Obliterate. I’m just wondering who has ditched the bos or ice cap builds and have returned to old faithful. I have and I couldn’t be happier. I know number wise it’s not quite there with breath but I know when we hit 58 and get lvl 2 killing machine we will be pretty much identical.

So who else?.

Obliterate hits like a wet noodle atm , maybe it’s the scaling but frost strike does more dmg , this does not seem normal .

Something is definitely fishy here. It crits for 800-900. Any spell on a freshly dinged alt crits higher. What is going on?

Could any of you share your oblit build with me. I’m worried I haven’t chosen the right ones.

Went back to icecap since I still have ok crit rating and azerite traits. Obliterate is complete trash and a total waste of time at the moment, it can only get better at 58. I keep hearing that prepatch balance doesnt matter but if that was the case then why completely gut it for the patch? Fun detected I guess.

on my 109 ilvl frost dk the tooltip is like 440 dmg obliterate , 600 + frost strike , i do have 44 % mastery

On a lvl 60 on the Beta with 10% increase Obliterate dmg legendary and full upgraded honor gear.

Obliterate:
Raw Hit - 1.676 Physical

PoF Hit - 2.062 Physical
PoF Crit - 4.169 Physical
PoF KM Crit - 6.237 Frost

Frost Strike:
FS Hit - 1.356 Frost
FS Crit - 2.655 Frost
FS PoF Hit - 1.532 Frost
FS PoF Crit - 3.211 Frost

Testing done on the [Turnip Punching Bag]

Is this high or low? I am not sure what a mortal strike does, or a chaos bolt? Any chance you have some numbers I could compare with?

if it’s any info i got its anectdotal, templars verdisct crits for 2100 on a lvl 43 pala in full looms. think about that

Mortal Strike is about double the non KM damage, Chaos Bolt is also between 8 - 12k and Templar’s Verdict hits about twice the amount and 4 times the amount during burst.

I can’t bring myself to play the underdog spec in an already underdog class.
