GC: Why does only 1 unholy DK get 3 diseases

#0 - Dec. 3, 2008, 3:54 p.m.

So I ran sarth 25 with another unholy dk last night, and much to my surprise, it turns out that his Ebon Plagues either overwrote mine or just wouldnt let me apply mine at all. I understand that mobs can't have the debuff from two, but at the very least they should still apply without having an effect, as this has a major impact on the damage that any but one of the DK's in the group is going to do, if they are Unholy, at least. In fact it makes it totally pointless to bring more than one Unholy DK at all.

@ the people who I know will say "YOU SHOULD JUST RESPEC IF YOU WANNA DPS!".... No. It should work like it's supposed to.

There are a few cases where classes or specs with the same debuff don't provide equal benefit to everyone. While we don't want the actual debuff to stack, we also don't want to penalize players for not having the benefit or get into a race for who can get the debuff up first. Unfortunately it's not a trivial problem to resolve or we already would have done so, but it is something we want to get fixed.

In the meantime, if your dps is suffering beyond what you can endure, you do have the option of going Blood or Frost.
