DK's as a pvp team

[Mosg2]

With the changes to Unholy Blight making diseases on the target undispellable, how does everyone think a 4x DK plus maybe Shaman would fair as a team? In BG's I'm sure you'd dominate as most boxers do. I'm not sure about arenas but undispellable diseases plus 4x Death Grip and all the snares would make it impossible to be kited. Impossible.

how would you kill anyone without full Wrathful though? lol JK

Paladins work well because of their burst, which DK's do not share right now. I'd be curious to see any DK teams with gear and how they are doing, but I doubt as well as paladins just for the lack of heals.

Rune tap is an amazing heal every 30s though, but no single target heals which sometimes you need.

Maybe 4 DKs and a separate healer?

[Mosg2]

That's kind of what I was thinking, but can 4 DK's put enough pressure on someone without MS to kill them? For a BG team it sounds fun at least.

I'm just speculating here, but i'd say you could do alright with good management of your interrupts, cc, and strangulates. Also depending on how you spec them, 4x corpse explosion cast on ghoul pets would be some pretty insane burst

They are a blast in pvp. Not everything has to be for arenas.

[Mokoi]

absolutely, i have 4 DKs and they are a blast and a half!!, but so are 4-5 of pretty much any class :P

4 priests are hilarious in PvP, but when you want more than just fun, you need to talk serious, and I think that's what the OP wanted maybe?

[Mosg2]

I think that with Cataclysm there are going to be no "rated" BG matches. I think you're just going to get graded off of how many matches you do, how many matches you leave before they're finished, your total HK's, your healing/damage done etc.

So I'm more thinking about a strong BG team.

[Mokoi]

Yeah, fair enough, but with rated BGs, they will become far more competitive as well.

In BGs though, the 30s heal is nice, since you have time to actually use it a lot, unlike arenas which you woudl get one use and then be dead lol.

Ya 6 rated bg games a week. They are going to limit the amount of rated BGs a week you can play. Blizzard doesnt want to totally kill off arenas. ;p

I'm not so sure about that. I really think it's going to be more of a relaxed thing where you just get rated on your performance in individual BG's and then use honor to buy gear.
