Why the hell the DK nerf mid expansion?

[Meristu-silvermoon]

Unlike now with gargoyle doing more damage in arena then rest of the players combined

[Holdmyshield-golemagg]

this change is actually good for Ulduar and on wards… The nerf is only bad for 1 minute fights.

Since lust is never gona be on pull

[Kellduril-draenor]

@Jeynar-earthshaker

They’ve been stronger than 2 players put together all of phase 1 anyway cause of Gargoyle so that wouldn’t have changed at all.

That’s simply false.

Arms is way more busted in arena than DK is.

[Jeynar-earthshaker]

That’s simply false.

Sure Jan.

Which is why we have this thread we’re having this discussion in.

Idk I’m happy about the change, even though I do play UH DK. The overall quality of the game surely increases with removing the stack of DKs. There’s no way an UH DK could justify it being “fun” to stack literally 8-12 of the same class, while simultaneously forcing other classes to reroll to DK just to be able to play. The same reason goes for the unreasonable amount of stuff to do to get a great snapshot. I just simply can’t find the fun in running three different weapons for a proc, and change a metagem mid fight just to have the class revolve around a pet. In a perfect world our damage should scale with our abilities, and not just a pet snapshot accompanied with autohits.

All in all this is a great change.

@Jeynar-earthshaker

Sure Jan

I mean, if you’re denying facts you’re simply a bad troll. DKs in Phase 1 were doing maybe 10% more DPS than the next class. Since you skipped on Math Class, they’d need to do 100% more DPS to count as ‘2 classes’, as you claimed prior:

It was never going to be a stack of DKs, Warlocks are ranged DPS and better than DKs anyway.

So you have a Warlock and Rogue stack now. Great change.

[Glaiverunner-xavius]

Why does it seem worse atm? Gargoyle’s NEVER casted this fast, and also the damage is still borked, 1500 dmg on 1000 resilience with a cast close to 1sec is ridiculous

[Babazel-burning-legion]

The nerf is complete BS. Im watching MORE weakauras, have to pay MORE attention, I do ALOT LESS DPS 30-40% less and I press more buttons more macros more weakauras for less damage. I rather play fury warrior and be middle of the pack then this garbage clunky butchered spec. OH and theres a BUG where I CANT PRESS MY FRICKIN ABILITIES AS A DK SIMPLE THINGS LIKE ICY TOUCH/PLAGUE STRIKE ON COOLDOWN WHEN RUNE IS CLEARLY UP.

Do it then?

[Novallia-gehennas]

The tears in this thread are so delicious.
The best bug fix I could ever see.

Good luck finding other bugx for Blizz to fix DKs

Which pack? Fury is still bottom, losing only to frost mages, ret palas, sub rogues and BM hunters.

[Kiryaa-nethergarde-keep]

That’s current Warrior. By the end of Phase 2 they should in theory get ahead of Feral Druids and other leas performing viable picks due to how their damage scales with the gear.

…Or he could stick to his DK and still be one of the top performing classes. Hard choice.

But then he can’t blow his cooldowns and lean back, he’d actually have to keep playing ;(

[Miylee-twilights-hammer]

It’s a hard life being a dk.

[Lybria-auberdine]

As planned guilds are now stacking warlocks.

When we nerf theses class too, let’s keep on the same st*pid way and make classic a game that is in a constant change like retail.

After all, that’s the classic spirit.

[Kiryaa-nethergarde-keep]

You realize that original Wrath was in constant state of flux? Classes were adjusted, balanced, tweaked etc? Classes we have atm are not even remotely close to where they were in Wrath during Similar content. Hell your precious DK wasn’t nearly as powerful as Gargoyle had a cap on how much CD reduction it gets from haste and had to land first to start casting.
