Corona virus 230 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I know dks got hella stuns and have even seen them kill very powerful bds... Are dks a very powerful class? fkmcsdruid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsley Patric 0 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 solo i dont think dk can kill bd easily but they got strongest def and decent stun.on 3x3 id prefer a dk than barb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjamato 12 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 It is a really slow class. (I use spear) Maybe with a mace it works? But because I'm lvl13, I prefer high dmg output with exha, thorn combo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jswaaz 87 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 if i could +10 any class id choose dk i feel they stack the best with darkness shield and +10 armor compared to any other class getting full +10s including ranger (ranger a close 2nd) i once fought a dk with +10 1h sword vs my +7 paladin, and he completely wrecked me no chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mailliwdxb 86 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 As a dk player with an ok +8 they are really good tanks with lots of bursts and stun but are at a major disadvantage if your stuns dont force opponent to a loss. You let your opponent attack you lose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjamato 12 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 For high lvl dk's: Can you stack exha, blow of silence and sharp shadow? Like make a super strike with increased dmg, silencing and stunning your enemy within 3 yards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mailliwdxb 86 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 As a high lvl dk i repeat...you can stack stuns if the opponent falls for late skill usage. i.e get a damage output with 2blow stuns, 2exhale stuns, and any burst in between, STUN GALORE But if the opponent survives you have a low survivability since dks are purely offence atm with dark shield being the only proper def skill. Its something like a gun slinger class...get proper stun timings you can rape higher amps...you miss by a margin of a second a low amp could easily end you.

x6t3nc3 56 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Dks are very useful when high amp, however barbarians have the best defense As for best at high amp, id say healers,, shaman or druid - mostly druids. Dk's have incredible stuns but unfortunately they have a chance to miss, if 1 misses - it could spell the end. Thatnis, in terms of pvp. In pve, tanking id say they're hella great. 5/5 dark shield is sexy. But barbs tend to do a beter job imo, self heal, charge, roar etc. Very great class - needs skill otherwise it is useless.

Gotta disagree on the link between dks amd barbs. I play a barb myself which isn't too shabby on defence (never bothered upgrading armour after tlaskoes release) and a friend of myne plays her Dk (she's pretty fearsome) We've done several pve challenges where we'd both tank a boss (or several bosses/adds/minions) and out of these results it's clear to say that Dks are the supreme tankers over Barbs. I think it has mostly to do with dark shield and the ability of life steal boosts, in tanking this helps alot more then my 40 sec cdr Fury which heals me for 900. (With outdated I litteraly mean I'm using 17 resil armour and 18 he/dd/kw sets for tanking along with level 17 abbys rings and a lvl 19 amulet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mailliwdxb 86 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Dark shield is 100~150 damage reduce which has 60% of occuring Life steal requires a hp saccrifice Overall barbs are beast in pve no doubt because of debuffs and self heal Dks in pvp because of skill blockade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x6t3nc3 56 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 You must not have tank gear equipped. A barb can achieve over 10000 defense with that skill (forgot name), lifestesl boost on dk is pretty useless with a 1h wep (Low heal output) a barb has more healthpoints aswell, wheras a dk has more mana regen. Lol. in lab, deathknights are slow compared to barbs Aswell. I know dk's have dark shield, but apart from that skill, most of their other skills are not as pve effective as those given to barbs. Roar at level 5 isamazing aswell. Both classes have an aoe taunt but im pretty sure the barbs aoe taunt (also increases def) has a larger range? Correct me if im wrong.

Hourai 139 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Dks are strong yes, but in a fight you need to time the skills to get a proper combo or just accept your death onspot In pve,armor amp, lifesteal attribute counts(solo pve) I don't know, I'd say dk is a turtle in defence while a barb is a knight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roar at level 5 isamazing aswell. Both classes have an aoe taunt but im pretty sure the barbs aoe taunt (also increases def) has a larger range? Correct me if im wrong. Let's see if I can react to everything with making sense xd First of all pve gear and defence numbers. It is true that EVERY shield class can reach over 10k psychical defence. If you've seen it mecha posted his defence (assuming it's +10) and yea it was indeed over 10k. Barbs can boost a bit over this thanks to war cry (tgats the skill you didn't kno about and its still the same broken aoe taunt) However as you mention this I'll remind you that it overtakes a druids barskin (if you were to test at a neutral area) Having a little chat with my friend about this aswell, it's clear to me that barbs indeed have a higher damage burst over dks, but in return dks will still get more ls thanks to saturation. I won't compare fury to saturation because they're both pretty neat. But a thing I would like to mention is 1h skills Dks have a general skill build, meaning they get to use it 2h or 1h, does this help? No it doesn't. Their dps remains slow. Does it helps for barbs? Neither, we might have shield strike but this doesn't (or rarely) does work on bosses. Comparing roar to dark shield, I'd prefer dark shield mainly because it got a little boost recently (which was well needed) and the side effect to roar is that it doesn't cycle like ds does. Sorry for the text wall, just wanted to mention these things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mailliwdxb 86 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Saturation is not neat...its not chainable..it requires a hp sacrifice...only effective at max skill pointage which grants 14% ls. An extra stun..is a stun....you are forced to use a shield because its ideal for a barb to get that defense and survivability in a pve circumstance.. whereas dks have options due to the amount of bursts we have. Again a 1h provides dps higher than that of a 2h and extra def along with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sacrifice 100-200 hp (maybe not even) to get back about 600-1000hp=neat (counting reduction of the 100-200) About your comment on shield strike, I pity you if you try to use it for the stun in pve, I was talking about burst, burst equils damage, damage equils holding agro. I'll inform ya that shield strikes damage gets resisted by bosses hence it's pretty useless. Edited May 9, 2015 by Kishinuma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hourai 139 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 So, uh, you degrade deathknights little by little? Or what... Do you mean to say a barb would be better than a dk in any pve circumstances? ... Sooner or later we'll have barb vs dk pvp discussion here sigh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mailliwdxb 86 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 600-1000? Skill lasts for 5secs at lvl 1...barely gives you back the hp you sacrificed And if you talk about investing points on the skill you miss out on blow of silence *best skill ever* and you even miss a chance to hit whilst you activate the skill (it takes one tick) I was talking about pvp...but since you were saying dks blow of silence does horse shit in pve except acts as a dmg add of...100?

mailliwdxb 86 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 A dk is better than a barb when it comes to a skill using boss other then that i find no reason for dks being superior to barbs...in pve atleast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mailliwdxb 86 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 @despair what im trying to prove here is...dk isnt as great as it seems...and the more people considering it to be good++ will eventually result in no proper dk upgrades in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maleshaman 15 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Anyone seen my sides? We're talking about pve wise here not pvp, you name silence I just laugh a little since this skill does indeed work great in pvp but it's less usefull in pve (case you don't kno why I mention it's dueing the fact that most of the farm/hunt bosses don't exactly use skills. I'm not gonna open a barb vs dk pvp wise discussion because there's too many variants gonna pop up and it's not what this thread is about.

mailliwdxb 86 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 read the post again....i state it being a 100+ dmg boost thats all in pve and shield strike does almost the same thing except higher burst and a stun chance right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hourai 139 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Shield bash gets resisted from bosses And silence gives more than just 100 damage....and it's a base damage buff, you can use thorns after it for it to deal heightened damage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mailliwdxb 86 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 'stun chance' ....blow doesnt max up dmg to a unbelievable amount and requires 1 tick to activate thus using up one attack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hourai 139 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Resisted hit = no stun And blow of silence gets me from 833 to 1041 on spear set, and 582 to 701 on one hand, I consider that a big bonus... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x6t3nc3 56 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Idk, pvp i agree dk rapes, pve - barb will always have my vote. I'm looking more towards durability here. Barb will live longer, self heal ultimate defense, roar and warcry. Barb has more hp. Saturation is a sad sad skill with 1h wep, but no hate to either classes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hourai 139 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 (edited) I prefer to think of that like this Dk relies on luck (Dark shield chance) barb relies on solid def (roar fury wacry) Edit And if you're to use warcry, fury and roar to survive in pve, you waste more mana trying to survive than anything else... A deathknight can do the same using only darkshield every minute or so,with extra mreg from passive. Extra hp buff is just a hit or two extra, I don't see how it'll help... Let's say example, my dk has 4k hp,and a barb has 4.3k, exactly how much more does that extend the lifespan? I dunno man Edited May 9, 2015 by Despair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno man About the same as you're dealing with a mass nuke of mobs on your ass, your hp depletes sooner along with your energy hence you lack survivability. Now lets pass on the Dk that simply shield him/herself and goes in without the worry of mass buffing. End result, Dks pets his younger siblings the barb.

Gladiator 1145 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 barb isn't a pvp class, dk is. That's my opinion. You can't compare them with who can beat who and who can't. Dk is way better in pvp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
