    Should I dispell DK's diseases

    Hey,

    I play a priest at decent ratings. When me and my rogue partner our gear goes up, and we find a mage, we should actually give a shot at glad.

    Anyways, I find it hard to decide if I should dispell DK's diseases, or not. I mean, keeping Abolish rolling, or does it really not matter too much?

    DK's are the only class I haven't ever been interested in, so I'm asking it here.

    kisses

    If dispelling their diseases gimps their damage, surely it would be beneficial to do so.

    yes, keeping the despell overtime will make dks pull their hair out and it reduces their damage alot. Not in the sense that they do say less per hit(which they do) but because they have to waste a frost and unholy to get them back up again. meaning a 1k icytouch and idk what plague hits for, instead of scourge strike that hits for 5x those put together.

    Try despelling them you will see a diff.

    Doing so will make their runes and damage lower much, seeing as some of their abilities do disease increase their damage. Making them use their runes also make them do a scourge strike less which is quite good if you have the time to abolish

    Okay, 1 more question, should I only keep the abolish rolling, or is it benificial to cure diseases inbetween abolish ticks aswell? Is dispelling them that beneficial?!

    Yes. Some abilities will do upwards of 50% more damage if both diseases are on a target (or close to that) so keeping them off as much as possible is important. Less damage = less healing. Not only do they increase other damage abilities but they tick for a bit too so save yourself as much healing as possible.

    it really does help, all i can say is try it, i play holy pally and the diff is noticable. It helps to because their death strike heals per disease on their target. If no diseases... no heals. so if your partner is trying to nuke him any good dk will be poping cds and death strikes.

    Take it from a DK. Dispelling totally disables the DK. COI Ebon plauge, all diseases, you'll be dealing with 1-2k damage at most per hit and leaving the DK runeless.

    And I hope ghostcrawler chokes on his own spit.

    Guys I'm going to be honest. Should I dispell those dots that deal damage and increase the death knights damage dealt, or should I leave them on me so I take more damage?

    I don't think you really get the point. I've seen several good players (hydra for example on ESL) not dispelling.

    Anyways, my leftover question: I can keep abolish rerolling, but is it really worth to cure disease aswell? Or is THAT a waste of my mana. And, didn't DKs have 3 diseases (1 giving a debuff)? Does this 3rd one also account for increased damage done with strikes?

    Learn to read up and learn to play than expect to be spoonfed, girly. Yes UNHOLY DKs have a third disease which enhances our strikes, and increases magic damage taken. Weather you use one thing or another or choose to let them tick or remove them is entirely up to you.

    Roll Abolish and renew, dont spam abolish, waste of mana.

    Re: Should I dispell DK's diseases

    Abolish defently.

    Maybe Hydra didnt dispell then because he went offensive and was going for a kill? I dont know, thats just my best guess. Normally he does dispell them

    Most arena DKs are Frost or Unholy.

    Frost gets bonus damage to its main burst attacks if Frost Fever is on the target. The diseases themselves don't do too much damage, but reducing the bursty attacks of a Frost DK is definitely something you want to do.

    Unholy makes disease dispelling even more important. The diseases themselves get a large damage buff, making them worthy of dispelling for that alone. On top of that, the disease buff the DK greatly. Further, the disease will also buff their allies magic damage. So you want to make sure abolish is rolling all the time against an unholy DK.

    Blood DK's, if you see them, basically just use diseases as a source of damage IIRC. Still a good idea to remove them, but it could be up to you in this case.
