Death Knight Solo Yogg-Saron, Patch 4.1 Updated TBC Maps, MMO Report, Daily Blink

I thought they weren't changing anything related to TBC?

DK are fine. The player is 1) extremely skilled (aka playing high rating arena) 2) in current BiS gear. I would say each server have none or one of such player. Not worth a nerf imo.

Not impressed. 10 man + all keepers up... you could see the dk die several times and the keeper just resurrects him.

I thought all mages used recount for their DPS specifically so that it didn't count against their movement and rewarded them for down time.

The Daily Blink is the best thing to happen to the front page. Ever.

I rarely log in to post, but you guys are funny enough to make me log in to post.

Good show gentlemen.

Holy crap that DK made that look easy.

The Daily Blink poster made me laugh out loud
clever stuff.

Hey, that made me laugh, unlike the comic! jk, much love.

Even though ofcourse it's impressive that he did it alone it doesn't surprise me at all because come on it's a Death Knight they have even more crazier self-healing abilities compared to a Paladin and they can use their ghoul and army of the dead to hold off mobs while nuking them at the same time.

That's also the reason why many guilds rather have a DK tank than anything else it seems.

Great job to the DK who did that, I've been trying this as a paladin tank and I can say that even with luck its impossible to do this.
One thing is clear from this movie though. Word of Glory needs a nerf and DKs are just perfectly fine as they are.

This video contains of content from INGroove. Its not available in your country.


-.- -.- -.- -.-

Seriously...

Still can't see why they couldn't revamp all maps when they did the Wotlk/vanilla maps... Its pure slack!

Blizz's favorite class. why do we need other tanks? they are silly and sucks.

First i was like "OMG!", but then... he had to get past watchers. Could he do it alone? Last time i played - no.

You can't say that 1 person had beaten the other team in basketball just because he scored last point.

But GZ to him! He proved that followers of the Lich King are way more powerful than weakened Old Gods

It's completely unacceptable.... But no blizzard would prefer to spend time updating old content with maps that tbh shouldn't even be needed in BC content... BC was the beginning of the 'only one way back' instance generation, people who get lost in any instance deserve to be removed from the group..

This DK soloing Yogg is a perfect example of how unbalanced pvp is atm... Reason being although there are no stun mechanics in Yogg I really don't think an 85 player could output as much damage as yogg to a DK in full vicious... even with stuns I really doubt a DK could be nuked if they had a healer and/or were blood. So imagine how little damage I would do in a heals dps 2v2 combo against a blood DK and a healer.... Yeh good luck...

Blizzard need to stop remaking shit that doesn't need to be remade and do something useful.

Well well well, someone didnt swallowed his pill of hapiness this morning, heh ?

What you say doesnt make a lot of sense. Sure, a blood DK + a healer is difficult to kill but it shouldnt kill you either. Blood DK is a tank, and a tank gets a lot of damage from PVE incoming damage, AKA Vengeance. This Dk soloing Yogg does massive damage because he receives a lot. In a PvP situation, this DK would do less that half of the number you see on this vid, except for the occasional burst he may get from using CD's.

How many Blood DK / Healer comp are they in top 2v2 arena team ? Yeah thats right, not a lot.
5% in 2v2
3% in 3v3
Less that 1% in 5v5.

So if you want to whine, do it right, and about the right things. Not about Blood DK in PvP because this is an abysmal issue.

Counterspell is off the GCD but does trigger GCD, so you can't continue uninterrupted with your rotation / priority system if you use Counterspell. The fact that it's off the gcd means that it can actually interrupt your rotation/priority system more severely if you need to /stopcasting /cast Counterspell for an emergency interrupt.

The details aren't really the point. Daily Blink was funny. They could have chosen any class and it still would be funny. :P
