Even with the use of their own tools they've been proven wrong. They have more straw men than Halloween!!
    Who? What? Where? Pretty much everyone in the thread says DKs are viable for progression this tier, not one of the outlier classes but decent enough not to bench. The parametres for benching your raiding DK seem to have become incredibly narrow, narrow enough to not effect the DK raiding community anyway.

    Some people will not be happy unless they are top dog, that's fine, just start playing FoTM next expansion and you will be happy enough.

    Everything is viable in 25M (carryville).



    Justify to those other 6 classes why they are sitting so the DK can be in on 10M progression...GO.

    Well maybe if more of the high ranked ten man death knights could share their experiences of this tier we could have more relevant information to work with.

    Ok, well let's talk about how to handle a real life situation.

    You have 13 people on your 10M team including these melee DPS: Rogue, Paladin, Warrior and DK. They are all equally as skilled and geared.

    The progression fights you are working on dictate that you can bring only two melee DPS because of the mechanics (just as most fights do). They are an even mix of magic and physical damage to the raid with some movement and maybe an add here and there (average fight).

    You are the GM and your responsibility to the team is to always put them in the best position to succeed. Which two do you bring?

    The rogue and whichever strength dps I believe to be the best player, I'm clearly not aiming for high ranked kills if I have three strength dps in a 10 man roster.

    I am the GM of a 10 man raid team. We have a DK, a Rogue, a Warrior, a Shadow Priest, a Mage and a Hunter who are all about equally geared and skilled. For progression we would probably run me over the Rogue, I cleave better and every boss has some cleave or we would rotate if some one didn't want gear. I've got faith that the raid could manage without me but that's got nothing to do with class balance, it's because I know the other guys are raiders too.

    Alot of the fights are also 6 DPS, in which case you bring a 3rd melee nps. Providing there is an adequate number of bodies at range you still get your mechanic immunity.

    Because I said that killing things with a DK isn't possible? I must have missed that post.

    There's a little bit of a difference between being 7th most optimal choice and being not viable.

    Your argument shifts so much I find it quite hard to keep up tbh.

    I have not once shifted my argument.

    1. DK's are not "everything is awesome" and in fact are not in the top 3 or even 5 melee DPS given equal ground.
    2. If you say or prove otherwise, you will be beaten with straw men.

    Who said everything is awesome? People saying we are fine and viable is not the same as saying we are the best thing since sliced bread. Everyone has acknowledged that we aint the best class out there. Most of us just don't really care considering it's having 0 impact on our play experience.

    Thats exactly the problem i have at the moment. I have my twink DK with 4 Set bonus T16 Lfr, ilvl 530 without the legendary cape or the normal 600 cape.

    I useually do around 140-150k DPS on a single target encounter and about 200k DPS on Multitarget like protectors.

    Now... I compare a lot. My main is a ilvl 568 Mage which is a big difference... but honestly.. i do 350 DPS on like SHA HC or Iron Jugg HC without a problem and 480+ K DPS on Protectors with some luck in frost spec. Can 38Ilvls + legendary proc be a difference of 200+ DPS...

    And to be honoust ... its not liek Frost 2 hand is hard to play... i track my Deseases and use the dmg CD'S on time with bloodlust and ghoul... army at the start ... I really dont get it

    Well what's your point? We should bench ourselves? Talking about buffs and nerfs seems pointless at this stage since Blizz won't touch it till WoD beta is almost finished. We might see some Arms nerfs to try and save the Arena season but it's even too late in the game for that.

    Someone also said Warlocks were on the radar but it was in relation to WoD so not expecting to see any nerfs there.

    I sim at around 310k at 562, I've got a log on Iron Jugg normal for about that. Not sure if I would expect 350k DPS at 568 but maybe another 10k or so. Ilvl makes a huge difference atm, I've never seen anything like it before in WoW, it's madness lol.

    We all know that we are a long way from optimal darthmetatron, no one who has raided this tier competitively is going to disagree with that.

    Intressting to see that you take Vereesà as a example. Probably one of the best DK:s you can have. Lets kick of and compare other classes world best players in ranking. Bring the player and do it with same skill what do we have??

    Vereesà is awesome no matter what but we need to compare same skill for all other players also how does it look when you do that??
    And dont ask me to do links for logs i cant because im new to the forum and not allowed to post links...

    Update HC Galakras
    I just checked some logs on Galakras its a singel target fight. We ofcourse dont do well against casters here so lets just look at Number one players

    Monk: 517094
    Warrior 506494
    Rogue 464848
    Paladin: 449185
    Enhancement: 417821
    Druid: 413107
    Frost DK: 387143

    Cleave fight Protectors:

    Warlock: 962356
    Monk 770038
    Mage 690845
    Priest 600846
    Rogue: 548712
    Druid: 547946
    Shaman: 522684
    Paladin: 509131
    Frost DK 485606
    OMG Last a Hunter 458576

    These are just number one logs on the fights if we compare same same. I can keep going to post logs and most of them show same result.
