WHY so many players RUN DK in PvP

    After the wings nerf DK numbers will go down. I know I'll be playing mine less open world. I'll swap to Warden more. Wings was such a huge part of playing DK, it's basically a spammable Spell Wall. I'm not saying it's not overpowered in it's current incarnation. I'm just saying that skill is so good and is the reason I believe many people play Stam DK in Cyro. With the new wings, even if damage is mitigated by 50%, you still get CC'd, you still get all harmful effects from abilities. That was the beauty of wings. It allowed you to close the gap or kite well without being clocked by Flame Reach/jav/Snipe spam. Now that that is gone, I'm willing to bet quite a bit that the number of DKs will drastically decrease. There just isn't a lot of reason to play them over Warden.

    Quite right, who wouldnt want complete immunty ftom amy magica attack that can only be rangef and projectile based. The nerf will be unpopular but completely justified. First honest comment I've read on this thread.

    I think so too. The choice to remove reflections on DK and leave it as is on Warden, when Warden is the class that’s been better in pvp is... weird.

    Everyone mentions DKs with reflections, but the warden one has always been just as powerful. 50% less projectile damage is really strong, but lots of cc are projectiles.

    Looking for any guildies I used to play with:
    Havoc Warhammer - Alair

    PRX and Tabula Rasa - Rift - Iskiab
    Or anyone else I used to play games with in guilds I’ve forgotten

    Awesome post, but where would I get access to this data? I’m not at the highest MMR but I occasionally see them.

    Maybe ask for feedback from Thoguard or whomever plays at that level. From my understanding it’s all Wardens, DKs and Sorcs with the occasional Templar. NBs lack the tools to get that high.

    Yeah I don't really know as well, especially in BGs. Putting NBs there at 1 is actually a joke on my part.

    For organized groups or highly skilled individuals who expect to play in groups (which is high MMR BGs), I do believe that NBs are less common compared to lower mmr matches where things are more chaotic. Cant pull out numbers though.
