That's not the legendaries that another forum member says make for a 50% increase. Or you think the Blood ring is a significant DPS increase? it's even lesser a gain than SS, I'd say it's a downgrade to some extent compared to, say, a 900+ ring from the Arcway.
I am not doing that because I am not stating any exaggerated numbers a particular legendary would provide.

My only mistake was that I omitted the article (which happens at times because my mother tongue has no articles). If I wrote 'the legendaries' (to refer to the previously mentioned ones) or 'the DPS legendaries' the statement would be less ambiguous. That doesn't make your argument any stronger because you're criticizing the ambigious wording rather than the thought behind it. Your initial argument was as follows:
and I suppose you were referring to BoS-specific gear, not just any gear. The same great Warcraftlogs site shows that BoS outperforms 'regular builds' with no BoS enablers. More than that, I believe what is possible to achieve with a legendary that doesn't even match the spec (what does a Blood legendary give an FDK aside from stats?) is equally possible with a high-ilvl epic that offers more appropriate secondaries.
Even in top 5%, people with, as you said, suboptimal legendaries (I'd say 'sub-bottom') sometimes outperform those with the perfect legendary set. What does that mean? That means skill is still more important than gear. While there is no denying that world's top DPS is a combination of perfect gear, perfect execution, and to a lesser extent perfect RNG, there is no sense in claiming that your contribution as a DPS player won't be substantial without orange things.
Btw, according to the logs, there are almost no FDKs who have no legendary at all. Have found multiple examples of guys doing actually great DPS yet using Unholy legendaries (farmed pre-7.1 I suppose) or some shit like Prydaz. Exclusion of all popular legendaries returns no results.

It is possible to still do insane dps with the BoS build. Right now, I'm using the sepuz secret ring and the cloak that heals you. I'd imagine I would be doing even more dps if I was one of the lucky few who the the bracers and the belt but nope. Every legendary ive gotten to date is one of those frickin "utility" legendaries that everyone hates. Oh well keep farming Mythic+ maye one of these days ill get it to drop.
What spec are you guys running in mythic+ dungeons? Are you going with BoS spec or MG spec for mythic+? I have the legendary cloak and ring.
Mythics dungeons is all about doing damage to multiples ennemies. BoS may be great but it has a 2 min CD, which doesn't work on each pack. In this case your best solutions are Frostscythe, Remorseless Winter and Howling blast. I'd not be surprised if HB does more damage than the other two, providing you have Helm and waist + Freezing Fog's talent + 2 pieces.
Thanks for the guide.
I'm just a fan of a brand new wiki: pcgamingwiki.com
A one stop place to help you get your favorite PCGames not only running on your machine, fix issues you might have, find the latest patches from the developers or fans, and more.
It's a brand new site, so help out by contributing.
Only because so many fights in Nighthold involve AoE in some capacity. You're still better off being a rogue, warrior, or demon hunter. Better burst damage, better sustained, better utility, better mobility, and better survivability in some respects. Death Knights have been gimped this entire expansion so far and it's probably not going to get any better. But hey as long as we've got decent players in mediocre guilds topping charts and inflating logs with AoE, Frost will continue to shine just as long as you ignore the rogues, warriors, and demon hunters leaving you in the dust with only half as much gear as you. It's sad seeing so many DK's settle when they should still be pushing for improvements.
