Dks (Your Thoughts)

[Suprem01]

Ok, I'm not sure if a thread has been open for this so I thought I would start one just incase.

I would like to know your opinions about the new class weither it's good or bad, it doesn't matter. I personnely have not yet had the chance to play a dk but I have been beat up on and ripped apart by serveral dks. I know one thing is for sure is if your a clothy then fear is always open... You basically have to stay at a distance or it will end very quickly.

I have hit this class with everything I had while playing my lock and they just come back for more.

I personally like mine since I got the it my pally has been parked.

I am runnin dk + 4 shamans I dont pvp so cant help you there

DKs are currently extremely powerful, quite possibly OP compared to most other classes. I played one in beta and have one I've been playing one live as well. Very fun class, IMO.

I personally love the mechanics. To do really well you have to be on top of your runes and rune power rotations (no AFK killing on this class). Macro rotations will be harder since misses for Icy Touch or Plague Strike will mess things up.

What did you want to know about the class? Just general fun, or multiboxing specific questions/viability?

My team is currently at 70, (5 shaman) and I too will be leveling a DK tank. However i never really tried multiboxing shamans with a tank like a pally before so I'm gonna be a little behind on macros and such. But from all the threads ive seen so far it seems a DK can be a great tank with high dps. So naturally any more feedback with DK tanks for a shaman group would be greatly appretiated. Tips tricks etc.

I'm two boxing 2 DKs and loving it. I can't wait to get some good pvp gear and get at it. With 4 Spell interrupts (for both DKs combined) and 2 silences it should be interesting.

I knew Hellfire would be over crowded so I opted to level in Azeroth. Once I hit 62 I headed to Zangarmarsh and skipped the Hellfrire zerg fest. This kept me ahead of a lot of people. Then finshing up Terokkar Forest and Nagrand I headed to Netherstorm and skipped Blades Edge. There are very few people here so I am blasting through this as well.

Currently I am 69. I have been able to finish every 2 and 3 man group quest since I hit the Outlands. Overall I really love this class.

DPS is insanely high, pretty much a rogue with a 2h and a hunters pet (if unholy spec). Iquadboxed mine through the starting zones and just destroyed everything there pretty quick and had tons of fun doing it.

[Suprem01]

Well my lock for the time is all affliction so I do some pretty good damage with my pet and affliction but at the time I was a lvl62 fighting a 59 dk and just got smashed. Yes, I do know how to play my lock so that is not the issue at hand lol.

The one thing I hate is the pull that they do to get you in close... that basically defines the point of running most of the time or getting a good distance on them lol. I also know that they are the most played class at this point and that they have insane DPS as stated before.

I am wondering if they are going to tune them down or leave them like they are.

[Cernunnos]

I'm not really sure what Blizzard is going to do. If you can believe it, they were much MORE OP in beta than they are now (you could solo those rock elemental elites west of ToT and end with full HP + RP unglyphed - it was ridiculous). I personally think they need to nerf the class quite a bit, but I think they may wait a while before doing it. So I'd suggest to level one ASAP if you are going to level one at all.

With respect to PvP, they are cloth caster killers. Your only chance with a DK as an affliction lock is to stay at maximum range and kite them (CoExhaustion). If you get within reach of Death Grip, then you are done for. If you are Demonology, then you'd better pop meta and felguard stun, fear, deathcoil them immediately. If they get on you, they will mind freeze and strangulate and generally shut you down and destroy you right away. Be sure to pop your shadow absorption if you get a chance. Most are unholy spec and do a lot of shadow damage (e.g., Scourge Strike). The smart unholy ones will leap the ghoul at you and hit 'Gnaw' which is a pet 3 second stun. They'll get range and that's that. Many also have a +15 run speed, which won't help things.

Did I mention the class is currently OP? :-/

Been toying around with one the last few days.

They are really powerful solo and I was able to tank Ramps fairly easily at 61 with my 68 Shaman x4 group (in place of my Pally).

It's a little hard to get used to tanking with a DK instead of a Pally, as if I get careless with my Pally, I can always self-heal out of trouble, or DI or whatever.

Still, I am impressed with the DK thus far and I fully intend to replace the Pally with the DK.

[Suprem01]

Yea, that was what I was thinking as well. I am not a person to run but when I see a dk I usually stay away from them.... lol. I think it would be pretty fun to play a dk and I am really looking foward to it when I actaully get the money for it.

I was partied with this one Dk and he pulled a whole area into him (5-10) and didn't die at all. I haven't played to beta but I get the point on where you are coming from. Blizzards new baby and they wont change nothing unless they get enough complaints about it lol.

From what I have seen since they came out is that the unholy tree is the most played right now. I have a friend that is blood and that is something interesting. ^^
