Am I wasting my time making this DK? 59

Kinda Stonned
I have been playing a lot in the 19,29 and 39 brackets. I have been working on a 59 arcane mage who is about 75% done just need to run dungeons for the remaining pieces of socketed gear.

I decided to create a 59 DK and more than likely will be playing it as unholy.

My question is am I wasting my time with the DK( 90% completed just need 1 socket piece and rammstein's ) are DK's doing well, are they competitive or should I full stop on the DK and go back to creating the mage? I am even willing to create a new toon of a class that is needed if any guilds are looking for new members for the 59 bracket.

I mostly play support 19 shaman, 29 priest, 39 shaman, 39 priest

I appreciate any input
 
I made 59 UH DK. Leveled engineering and got few pieces of gear.
BGs were OK, but lacked good damage. UH gives you advantage of kicking casts with ghoul bite.
Tanking dungs felt weak and I just lost interest.
I would say its viable
 
That is for sure an option, my work schedule is about to calm down so I will have some time to test. I just don't have the time with my current work hours so when I do log I am spam running blood furnace for the pants with 3 sockets. I was just curious if the class is even worth it especially with changes in 8.1.5.

I don't know a lot about the bracket as ive always twinked sub 40. I am willing to put in the work and play in the bracket I just want to have some info regarding the class, ive watched videos from some DK twinks and they make it sound pretty great.
 
I guess your talking about gnaw? It's nerfed since wod to 1,5 min cd and stun lasts 1 sec. It's not an interupter BTW.

Unholy dmg is probably worse than blood.

The only viable specc that has some serous bursty dmg is frost. You have pof every 45 sec which Gives u up to 24 % total strenght if spending runes well. Scales with crus and rofc

In bg you should have around 700 strenght with full procs.

Yeah Gnaw. For me it was enough time to do some wombo combo on casters and get to them.
Frost was waste of time IMO. Just smashing buttons. Not really hard to "spend runes well" :D
 
Spend runes correct before u pull pillar of frost yeah? Each rune spending after will give u another percent of total strenght. I rather stick to 23-24 percent than 15- 17

Overall frost is easy. So is Unholy, Unholy at 59 feels like an uncompleted specc that lack something.

But this tip was for the guy asking about dks overall.
[doublepost=1550816921,1550816530][/doublepost]With your smashing keyboard tactic you will have all runes on CD when smashing pof which Will fuck your pof :d
 
Death Knights are the class I'd recommend the least to players interested in this bracket.
They have what, 60% of their abilities compared to everyone else's 90%? It puts them at a severe disadvantage, for obvious reasons.
They are more than viable though, and I actually consider them a top-tier pick for competitive WSG because of Death Grip & slows on EFC. Their damage is below average & they cant depend on themselves to stay alive.

You've geared up apparently, so just stay 59 and add another twink to your collection.
If you want another DK just level one up 4 times and start over
 
I'm just trying to say that you can use all your dmg abilities in one macro with pillar of frost. Frost works like this since Cataclysm. There is no skill involved.
Unholy felt funny coz you spread debuffs and popped them on medium range. Also had chance to... stop casting on range

Agreed
 
No. You can't macro pof anymore.

Unholy is not what it was in wod or mop. U had tons of abilities and it was the most funny specc ever. It required some attention back then. I know what I'm talking about.
[doublepost=1550817480,1550817317][/doublepost]Which means, if u had ur pof in ur smashing macro it means uve been playing without it. As it shares gcd.

Then I understand ur thoughts of frost dmg ain't impressive
 
Thank you all very much for your knowledge, I am going to finish off leveling the DK and have it in the bank in case its needed. I started leveling a resto sham since I have one in every other bracket I play in and my main is a resto sham. I plan on having a DK , mage and Resto sham at 59

Thanks again for the info much appreciated
