Why hasn't DK been nerfed yet?

I had 43k spell resist and major protection from monomyth. It didn't even help.
Resists don't matter this patch , esp. when fighting DK. You need to be actively defending or you'll simply lose.
Imagine having to actually use core combat skills
People might take these threads more seriously if you recreated the actual hit, its far from normal. People acting like 41k whips are common is why it falls on deaf ears.
Funny coming from someone like you who never actually engages with anything to begin with. If someone says something you don't like you just tune it out and respond with "I know I'm right" when the vast majority of the time you are as far from right as someone can be.
It doesn't matter how common they are, this should not happen from a spammable, and you always move the goal post, before you said this didn't even happen.

You win.
Lmao this was me ignoring your long winded response, but nice edit
Zos then: Vengeance is just a test bro
Zos now: Do you want Vengeance permanent or permanent...1 -

Who said this person did it without corrosive? The guy had 40k resist everyone would assume it's corrosive. Who are you even talking to? You shadow box nobody constantly.4 -

The guy that did that likely isn't going to be using it past trolling because most players that PvP have integrity and when finding something extremely busted or unfair decide not to use it or share it & just send feedback to ZOS instead.
It's how I know that DK will be adjusted soon. It's not a maybe, but a definite because no other spec can come close to doing what it is currently doing with those two skills in the same skill line. Stealth adjustments indirectly target stealth leap and stealth whipping, both of which are insane and zero counter gameplay.
Except ZOS wouldn’t nerf DK in that instance. They’d nerf whatever sets or mythic these forbidden Reddit builds are using. As far as they’re concerned, this DK is the plan. Maybe there will be an adjustment or two here and there. But this is the new baseline of power for reworked classes.
Once the reworks are done, everything will be at about this level. For now, enjoy the ride. Or don’t. But all the posts, feedback, complaining, and petitions are falling past the deaf ears and shattering on the ground.
That argument held up when we were getting a new class refresh every three months, not when each rework takes a year and we’re expected to live with this balance in the meantime.TO THE PVP COMMUNITY: OUR ABSENCE IS FEEDBACK. DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE JULY 20TH VENGEANCE TESTS.6 -
BigPlays420✭✭✭As it stands right now, DK needs a substantial nerf to both Whip and its sustain. You can’t justify leaving one class this far ahead for the better part of a year on the basis that the other classes will eventually be brought up to its level. Balance has to account for the game we’re actually playing now, not where it might be after every rework is finally finished.5 -

✭✭✭✭41k whip is ofc an outlier, most I've been hit before was like 25k, but let's be clear that's still way too much. 3 stack whip hits harder than most ultimates while it can be unleashed every 4th global, that's not okay.
As for what the intention of the devs are, how strong they want dk, we don't actually know, so no reason to speculate. We can however give our feedback.Edited by Firstmep on August 10, 2026 7:11AM5 -
Nordstern✭✭✭This must be some exploit or busted set combination. I have never hit or been hit by a whip that was even above 30k. Also keep in mind that your resistances are completely irrelevant in this clip as the attacker got corrosive active.
And while I think corrosive needs a nerf or maybe even be removed/reworked, I dont think whip or any other purely offensive ability should be nerfed at all as long as it's possible to build 50k hp perma block healers.Edited by Nordstern on August 10, 2026 9:41AM1
