DK nerf - am I the only one that don't like weak spot DKs were given?

Combustion: This passive now has a cooldown of 3 seconds, up from .5 seconds.

Right, sure, this will significantly reduce 2x charged DKs strength. Going from average proc in 1-2s to average proc in 1-2s+3s wait, resulting in ~270/s average, on par with templar Rune Focus morphs, which doesn't even need to hit anything. This is big.

But, am I the only one who has a feeling that hitting sustain wasn't the right direction?

Someone else mentioned on the forum the idea, that basically resolved around "DK should be slow, but strong".
Sure DKs aren't slow now. Every class can just use use psijic skill, x3 swift and the likes, and flies around at ultrasonic speeds.

What if combustion had small debuff of movement speed, -5% / level? It would be interesting choice in PvP, while also no-brainer in PvE.

You've been affected by a Patented "Zos Sledgehammer Nerf", Confusion and General Disorientation is normal. Please use this next patch as a time of healing to recenter yourself before the next strike in the opposite direction, Thank You.

Players: mDK is too strong. It needs a nerf!
ZoS: nerfs DK
Players: ::surprised Pikachu face::

Well, for one, if they are going to hit us with all these nerfs this pts cycle then they should revert the engulfing flames change. It was kind of a silly nerf anyway, when the real problem was our sustain and self healing abilities.

Bon Ap. Enjoy the nerf.

I'm interested on how it will actually feel, I think DKs were too strong, Hit too hard, Took no damage, and healed too much. If this balances it out without DKs getting put in the Dumpster Again, that's fine in my book.

People are acting like mDK isn't miles above every other class in PVP. This nerf hits one aspect of mDK that made it strong, while leaving the other aspects untouched. I doubt this even does much to change the meta; it's likely that mDK will still be dominant, they're just going to have to use a little more sustain now than before.

Honestly they should have nerfed them more. Between lag and high damage, high mitigation, high healing DKs, I haven't been playing.

It's just lag, lag, lag, burning embers, lag, talons, lag, lag, take flight.

Dk needs more nerfing like dubble cd on combustion nerf whip do not get buffs or stacks just flat dmg can solve this

The sustain nerf really makes me think it's time to add stam whip for stam dk.

Mr_Stach

Well we've been telling Zos that for years. Let's see if anything happens
