You sir speak the truth. I once came here and called them a crutch class - meaning they act as a crutch to bad players who still want to succeed. I was banned for it. But I like that I am not the only person to have noticed this. And is it just me.. or have they been FotM class since wotlk released?
I began my DK in WOTLK; a Dwarf one way back when Frost was the tank spec. The only reason I stopped playing was that patch after patch, expansion after expansion, it wasn't challenging or difficult at all. My tanking was great, I topped DPS meters, but at least 50% of the time during all of that, I was screwing up my rotation. Truth be told, the only reason I stopped was because I took less and less joy in effortless success, which sums up DK in a nutshell.
Sorry to disappoint you... but those classes will still be the bane of your PvP WITH full gear. I've been hit 100k obliterates with 64% pvp resil and barkskin up. Have alsp been killed by several warriors simply because of them stunlocking me to death.
I'm currently in the progress of gearing up my balance spec, and the absolute classes I hate are: Rogues with shuriken toss, broken ridiculous ability. Warriors. DKs. Hunters and WW monks are INCREDIBLY annoying.
The thing I do when I see them is kite, kite and run. Unless I have ALL of my offensive CDs up, I just stay in a group.
Is anything close to the level of OP that was 3.0 pre-wrath Ret Pallies and 4.0 pre-cata Feral Druids?
Gotta add Boomkins to this. In BGs, especially ones where people are gonna be clumped up like Temple of Katmogu or Strand or Isle they basically have perma instant starsurges after they multi DoT half the other team.
S5 Dks?
My plague strike removed hots, i could easily 2 shot people without knowing wtf i was doing, strangulate, mind freeze, lichborne, ams, amz, blood boil removed stealth, dnd feared people, and the best part, i could rez my team mate as a pet who hitted like a truck, and if you killed me one time i also came back as a pet to melee you to death
Im pretty sure a DK could enter a 3v3 match by himself in S5 and still have a 50-50 chance at winning.
I hate all thats why when i have fresh toon dint go in BGs just earn the honor from TB/WG and justice points
got a fresh half geared ww monk and unholy dk and anything with mal gear is brutal, mages kill just a frost orb, locks and priest kill me in a fear, warriors and dks global me, rogues kill me in cheap, hunters kill me in dumb ass spider/deter snare its just plane ole not fun being undergeared/naked
Shadow priests:/
Blood Deathknights. As a 2v2ing rogue paired with a holy paladin.
I can't kill them, I don't even chip away their health. Every arena I've taken and I've met a Blood DK, have either been been draw, or win when they leave. After I've killed whoever they're teamed up with we can't bring the deathknight down at all. No other class can survive like they can.
Disc priests is a strong second.

I hate to fight warriors the most.
Don't really care, I die to all of them as an ungeared resto druid. Some, it just goes a bit faster than others.
