Everyone knows the DK is a dot focused class. Fire Dot and Poison Dot. Besides being a tank, for DPS this is the classes identity. I knew DoTs were getting nerfed, but I didnt expect it to effect the Stam or Mag DK so hard because it's their identity. But I was wrong.
Here's my problem, I've been maining a stam DK for 3 years. I have 91 days played on him. the DoT for the Stam DK hasnt really changed much even with the last pass that increased the DoT meta, in fact, after the last pass, I LOST dps because of the nerk to volly and I had to make adjustments.
But as a stam DK dot build, everything is based on dots as the class is inetened. my DPS on a 3 mil is between the 40k-50k mark. I use volly, poison inject, nox breath, venom claw, blood craze and flurry. (Maelstrom DW) and guess what? ALL THOSE ABILITIES GOT 50-60% NERFED.
I'm afraid to get on the PTS and run a DPS test because i know im about to lose globally 50-60% DPS putting me at around 20-30K DPS. But i feel like its going to be around the 27k mark.
My real issue with this is that DoTs are getting nerfed to an all time low. I've been playing this dot build for 3 years.... Long before any of these meta DoT things came into play. Hell, I know that even the DoT stam DK isnt even the meta... So I feel like im paying the price for something else.
