Pvp balance and DK changes

Militan1404 · January 26

First of there is almost no balance changes to pvp even tho the pvp community has been crying for changes for years, and this meta is often called the worst meta ever and they just leave it with that? Then you have the underwelming pvp changes to DK, and as i am not on pc and cant try the pts i can only speak from what i see and heard as i have not tested it personaly. But the pvp side of dk changes seems more like a nerf and is really underwhelming and i am really failing to see how this is gonna make it compete against sub-classing. Its very disappointing to see how they set the standard of class reworking, as now was the time i felt they where gonna win our thrust back and make the game good again. Just seems like class rework is ganna be dead on arrival and a big failure if this is how they are gonna go farward sadly..

I feel the same way about how there were some encouraging words, but the changes fly in the face of that encouragement.

In BGs just yesterday I was observing all of the tools that are changing in fundamental ways as well as the tools being made less good.

This is a class "refresh" just like it would be refreshing for a wrecking ball to smack into my home. Maybe I can buy a new house, but I probably can't and I would have certainly preferred to have gone without the trouble.

The members of the design team are like the fingers of the monekys paw. It's best not to cause one to curl.

We only have 2 roads of comparison of dk changes and that is live dk outside of pts which from wut I’ve seen and read is an overall buff. Second is comparing to current iterations of classes with subclassing. DK is the first class refreshed with 6 more classes being refreshed so what we see and get now is not what we will see and get once the other 6 are changed.

My personal thoughts would be wait to see what changes are made to the next 2 classes before passing judgement as the changes to warden then sorc should ideally give us a much better grasp on where these current dk changes fall for both pve and PvP in the era of subclassing

the whole issue is there is NOTHING else to put it in comparison to as its the 1ST being done and to compare it to the rest of the game would do what ? make it just as unbalanced as the game lol oh sorry for the joke but this is what you get when you do something 1 at an time an not as an whole

People believe that the class changes are going to be on target just like they believed in the writhing wall being a life changing event.
