Mosg2's DK Manifesto

[Shodokan]

any nerf to aoe damage - even to frost DK's is a buff to melee boxed teams. i've been getting hit with 12-14k dps (in an arena thats insane) frost DK's due to HB's craziness and can't spread out to avoid it like a normal team. the 12% damage bonus for 2 handers is substantial.

that being said after testing it myself I think you're overestimating the power of this comp, mosg2. it may feel powerful compared to previous seasons, however, you have to remember that if you enter a 5's season early and prepared it's pretty easy to initially do well. i was #1 on my BG with a 90% win ratio in the first few weeks but that slowed down quickly as the pro 5's teams started throwing their hats in after first gearing up in the more populated 2's and 3's divisions. this 5's season is in it's infancy stages and i predict we won't see any top teams running just 1 healer without uber CC.

Depends on your battlegroup. If you were on emberstorm you'd have been top 2 for sure.

WE may be overestimating the team, but paladins are certainly no better, and nor are ferals. You'd have to play a multi-class team to get everything to function the way you want like zug did and that requires a 2nd person for healing. But this team is extremely powerful, especially fully geared. Also you have to realize, you are the ONLY person to be truly successful with the dk/ret team, and blizzard is not going to keep resil the way it is i don't think, it will get nerfed like it happened to you mid season before either.

The whole point is to have fun. I honestly think that getting glad on any boxing team in 5's is nearly impossible playing by yourself, but as you are the only person to get to 2500+ with your team i guess you'd be the person to take advice from in that regard.
