Dilbrt's rants on unholy DKsFollow

Rant 1: "Man blizzard why do you have to keep changing DKs, just pick a way and stick to it"
WHEW ok I'm sitting in bed and I had to jump right back to my chair to address this one. You sir, got me started. Alright. DKs are how old? 8 months? Not even a year? Let's take a look-see at the other historically hero class from Warcraft 3 (or earlier), the paladin. You look at the paladin's trees, or abilities, or even role in a raid from when they started it and compare it to now. If they haven't been able to get a class perfect after YEARS THEN HOW IN THE GOOD LORD'S NAME DO YOU EXPECT THEM TO GET A DANG CLASS PERFECT IN 8 FREAKING MONTHS.

Rant 2: "But unholy is the AoE tree and they're nerfing its AoE!"
This is the second thing that got me back out of bed. Unholy was... never... and let me say this again... Unholy was never designed to be the AoE tree. It was the tree of debuffs, nasty things happening to you, and the tree of PETS AND MAGIC DAMAGE. Objects you control in your area. It has permaghoul, it has gargoyle, it calls forth swarms of insects, it has stuff that affects army of dead. The only time it was a major single-target huge hitting class (as in big numbers off one hit) was a brief period during beta when scourge strike was broken and I was hitting 7k SS's at level 62 (it was pretty dang fun). It was a bug and they fixed it. At the same time blood is not the "single-target tree" My blood boil hits every single freaking mob in the area for over 4k damage (I've had it go as high as 4.5k PER MOB CRIT ON, take THAT to Thorim's arena), not to mention now the cleaves. Unholy is the pet/magic tree. Blood is the physical damage tree. Frost is the ******* child between the two that is probably going to end up the DW tree if GC has his way.

Rant 3: "They're changing something that I got used to WHAAAAAAAAA"
Son, you better be dang glad I'm not in arms reach of you because I really WOULD smack the ever-livin' out of you. See most of the actual beta tester DKs would see a change (like the aforementioned 7k SS at 62 change) and go... yeah I see that, eh oh well let's learn the new way. There was almost zero QQing, there was almost zero whining, people just saw the changes for what they were and learned the new way. Since this went live, the stupid o-boards are so full of crying and whining that I just can't look at them anymore (other than when a blue tracker picks up on a blue post). I love alla, I really do, but I really don't care to see that attitude spill over into here. QUIT BEING CHICKEN LITTLES. Last I looked, I and more often than not the unholy DKs of my raid RAPE the charts on a regular basis. Ulduar has a ton of fights where AoE rules the day, is it any wonder that they're going to tone unholy's AoE a bit down so that it's SLIGHTLY more even with the other two trees? Do you really want to become warriors, where unless you're a certain dps tree you suck? Right now you have a choice, and if you let any one tree or spec be dominant over the rest, you really lose that choice.

I personally am glad to see constant changes and updates to the class, whether buffs or nerfs. It means Blizzard is paying attention to us. Hell it could be worse, we could be warlocks!

Viva la Blood Tank. There will be punch and pie.
