Damage Boost Skills: Changes and Improvements

[Filipe Ramon 75]

Over the years, the inefficiency of the Death Knight's damage-increasing abilities has become clear. Compared to its analogue the Paladin which has the Tank/Support role, the Death Knight has increasingly been played for the Tank/DMG parameter. The first skill has the same functionality as a basic paladin skill, and the Paladin skill is even more effective as it completely immobilizes the enemy without even the need to use another skill in conjunction or self-attack. The second ability, the damage increase, becomes an obstacle rather than a support, as it further increases the waiting time for applying what really matters, the damage. Furthermore, it is much less effective than the Paladin's ability Banner, which increases the damage received by enemies in the area.

 

The objective is to actually provide parameters that add to the Death Knight's kit and needs. The game in End Game became completely focused on group battles. However, it is very difficult to be able to use any skill with different abilities to control the enemy faction. Furthermore, DK's magic damage has been extremely nerfed over the last few updates, beyond what is necessary, as the class's main damage ability cannot be used on objectives such as thrones, pylons and flags.
