  1. As a DK main since wrath, unholy just feels like such shit now which is a shock considering bfa but wow it feels like they have no idea what to do with the specs and festering wounds feels like shit, I hate it and they need to remove it. The fact they once again removed gargoyle and put it as a talent just proves they have no idea what to do

  2. what addon do you use for showing debuffs on your nameplates? I believe you use Tidy/Threat Plates for your nameplates, and as a result, BigDebuffs doesn't work with it. is that flyPlateBuffs?

  3. Izen, if you had to choose between rogue, dk, monk, DH, or hunter what would you play? I'm torn on my pick. Unless of course you are gunna do a main choice video of your own 🙂

  4. I'm really torn between coming back and playing DK or Pali. I like the idea of DK because there are two DPS specs, so one may stay competitive. However, knowing myself in wow, I tend to get bored of just being a DPS and usually switch to healing later in the expansion. Decisions, decisions…

  5. Classes like this are only good enough if you have a guild or friends willing to let you join even when there are better options out there. I love the DK, or use to before the changes.

  6. I feel like they should change the 2 legendaries surounding dots/aoe, making deadlies coil use epidemic (instead of deathstrike) and dethcoil, maybe with a bit tuning. And making superstrain dots all be burstable with epidemic, not just virulent plague. Odds of this is 0 but you can dream. Imo would make aoe much more exiting and less cluncky.

  7. Would love to hear your thoughts on frost dk and the state of 2h obliteration vs DW BoS , with no access to beta it's near impossible to figure out their state after all of the "nerfs" to obliterate. Also, great video!
