DKs are back.....

Necrotic stirke scales with pvp power against players better in 5.1. I am getting 80k ish absorbs with 1 necrotic.

Only against players, you wont see it against a target dummy etc.

Yeah even at 85 i was killing some pvp geared 90 druids recently aslong as i keep their big heals locked down those necrotics were eating their rejuvs

That is honestly a very poor indication since stats scaling works totally different among the different level caps (dks at lvl 80 for example can solo stuff that a lvl 90 dk cant solo).

Wow, that seems really OP. I'm having a ton of fun with enhancement shamans but 80k necrotic strikes seem like a better choice. Did they not scale in 5.05?

How much pvp power are you up to?

Well considering that healing has been a bit OP for a while it was a pleasant surprise to be able to fight back

56% - 14800+

For 80k-90k I had on use trinket popped

I'm curious how you're getting 80k absorbs, your gear must be amazing.

I tested myself now, not fully geared but:

45% PVP Power vs 55% Resilience player

Average NS absorb - 24-29k
With trinket + pillar of frost + fallen crusader - 45-50k

This is based off of the tooltip on the affected player, not sure if it's accurate. On a target dummy I am hitting about the same numbers :/

481 Human so double trinket, not exactly sure what to tell you but its changed. 70k absorbs are common

Edit: Apparently ns has scaled really well with pvp power before, its only now that pvp power has been upped on weapons(5.1) that I and other people are seeing these absorbs.

I believe you... so you said DKs are back.. where did they go? They have been pretty strong.

You did prefix the post [3v3] - you mean running triple frost is viable now?
