No, YOU are wrong about death knights.

Q u o t e:
If you have issues with warriors or any other class, I would suggest bringing them up in other threads and not trying to use your dissatisfaction to lobby for nerfs for other classes. That tends to make players mad. We have made a lot of warrior changes lately and more are on the way.

We don't want Unholy DKs, or any DK spec, to be as dominant in arenas as they have been. Do keep in mind however that part of the DK popularity comes from them being new. I would not expect to see the number of DKs stomping around Northrend to drop anytime soon.


This is something that GC has posted and has greatly concerned me. For one thing, what greatly concerns me is that from the posts that GC is made, it doesn't seem that blizzard thinks Death Knights are too good. Once again , if anyone at blizzard is reading this, I would love for you to read the feedback at arenajunkies, wow gameriot or the pvp forum here. Death knights have damage, utility, and survivability that far surpass any class - and 3.1 does not address this. I'm not here to QQ endlessly about how blizzard hates my class - however - please take this to heart. Many many players feel that death knights are too good, and many players have their pvp enjoyment diminished by this class. And most of us feel that 3.1 does not address this - you made permanant ghouls available to all death knights, super buffed the garg, and buffed unholy damage overall. This is the wrong direction, it is YOU who are wrong about death knights, GC. I hate to be rude, but its the truth. The other thing that bothers me is that you seemingly spend more time refining death knights when they have more pvp and pve trees than anyone - I feel thats the wrong direction. You should either spend more time on the other classes to bring them up to the DK level, or nerf DK's signifigantly. The other classes dont need buffs. The super classes need nerfs - you nerfed paladins (aside from aura mastery , which has to go), you nerfed hunters, but the most OP class of all seemingly got a free pass. This is very disappointing. Please stop thinking that you need to spend 90% of your class refinement time on DK's - make the other classes as perfect as they are.


Its obvious with the 3.1 changes that you think that everyone complaining are idiots and dont know what the hell they're talking about. I have played this game since closed beta, been through all of its up and downs, grinded grand marshall, was in the premier guild on alliance (and killed kelthu'zad at level 60, back when naxx was difficult), and a two time gladiator. I have never before been so disgusted with the pvp balance of this game. STOP thinking that we the playerbase are idiots and DO SOMETHING about this. Its a gigantic joke everyone, on the pvp forums, wow gameriot, and on arenajunkies what a truly bullsh*t class DK's are. Even serennia at ESL was laughing and joking about some the suggestions that he himself has emailed to ghostcrawler and was actually implemented. Lets see, he knows what a BS class DK's are, but the devs dont? Yet your answer to this - super buff many classes with anti caster abilities (what??") and buff unholy pvp, is truly astounding.

Most of the hardcore arena players feel that this season is a complete joke and that everyone particularly in the 2s bracket should not be eligible for a gladiator title because they did not earn it. I wouldn't go that far, but this season is a wash. Please stop thinking we're clueless idiots and do something. Look, we're not complaining because its fun. We're complaining because this class is too good and will still be too good in 3.1.

Death Knights are too good in 3.0.9.

We think they are in a better place in 3.1.
