Removed the ounterspell and spell lock nerf. Dk's once again fucked

[Machomaije]

The Improved counterspell and Spell lock nerf was really good for Dk's. But as you know, they removed the nerf.... So once again we will be silenced and disarmed to oblivion. Anyone else than me that finds it pretty stupid that we can be silenced and disarmed? We dont have a single spell that have a castingtime, so why the hell should we be the only melee class to get silenced? (Except Enha shamans, but they have spell with castingtime).

Ret paladins get silenced a lot too.
Where's the thing about the counterspell being brought back?

If you're in a position where a Mage or Lock has to silence you, as a DK, instead of your healer then its used as a peel.
Utility is used for different reasons.
Silence is no different.
You either use it offensively to set up an execute while controlling the healer, or you use it defensively to diminish the damage of a DK.
If used defensively, they have lost control for their pressure.

The same reason you would use Strangulate offensively or defensively.
DKs underrepresentation is not because of Spell Lock or Counterspell, no need to find shitty excuses.

I'm not a mage or a lock, so forget trying to use that as a counterargument

Not a single castable spel? I know ALOT of castable dk spells.

In a team setting, a silence used on the dk means your healers are relieved of some pressure. Right now healers die easily because of cc chains. However the blue stated that the spell remains as is "for now"

Which means they wont try to figure out a way to change it untill next expansion. And a silenced used on a dk does NOT help with pressure, because a dk can simply not do anything defensive while silenced.

Funny thing is the Blue answer to the DK asking for IMPROVEMENTS on strangulate (note, improvements, not a new silence)... Blue answer: Don´t you think there are enough silences in pvp?

BAM revert counterspell and spell lock nerf...

hmmmm. Blues are clueless about PvP
