It is objective to say dk has too few baseline compared to other revealed specs. DK has 9 baseline, 2 of which are NEVER useful (rune strike, pale horse), while rogues have 17, priests 15 and hunters 16. All of them get baseline mobility/buff/utility/cc/interupt or all of them, if I look at rogues. Basically that is why Atlas said we need 3 more points, because DK has to make up for the barebone baseline first before thinking about any meaningful choices. Also in the tree Rogue gets 2 strong defensives and an improved sprint (which is baseline for them ofc), while we need to go lower for AMS and even lower for D'sA, not to mention that in no world can we take that wraithwalk under that useless avoidance node. At least 3 more useful baseline spells for DKs and we can start to talk (rogue gets 2 stuns, hunter gets a trap, and priest gets a fear, so even baselining asphyx would be fair in comparison, but AMS, D'sA are a must, but Death Strike is comparable to Crimson Phial or Exhilaration so that too).

@@Daki140 That is just tuning, we know nothing about that yet, so your statement is invalid, the number and value of the baseline abilities are an objective comparison. Rogues are great damage dealers historically, almost always brought to MDI and high end PVP. DKs, while have their ups are a much more rare breed. In raid yea, grip is invaluable on some bosses, but 99% of the time you can bring a Blood DK and be better off. In nathria rogues sucked but than again in S2 sub was on top, and it is strong now as well, check mythic Halondrus logs, you will find ALL 3 rogue specs almost at the top. FDK raid damage ATM is mainly cause of the tier set which we will lose, and the huge amount of AOE burst phase bosses, if a frost DK faces a single target or movement heavy boss it will drop to the bottom instantly. Also FDK will never be brought to MDI whatever happens, it is too prone to failure even on the highest level and also the tank needs to pull around the DK like crazy, that is why only UH DK got into MDIs in BFA and in S1 shadowlands, but rogue were there even more so in both seasons. Lastly one of the rogue specs will always be fine, while DKs had times when both DPS specs were underdogs in every content, like in S2.

@@Sodacacik Well the main difference is that you can only spend 2 runes per global at a maximum, whereas before you would effectively cast 3 heartstrikes in 1 global, so even if you had infinite resources (you don't) you'd still only extend by 2/3 of what you would previosuly extend it by per global. The big reason uptime is so good right now is because for every global you extend drw by 1.5 seconds, so by the duration of a global at 0% haste meaning that if you have a solid amount of haste you can cast things in-between heartstrikes and still keep it up for over a minute if you play well. Since max made this video they have made some changes to this talent, so we will have to see how they impact things once people have had some time to play the alpha.

Every spec is losing stuff we currently have baseline. The trade off though is we have the ability to grab multiple talents from current talent rows.

@davidmartindale43642 жыл бұрын
But they do mash up? Festering wounds being popped generate runic power and using runic power triggers runic corruption which increases the number of runes you get letting you pop more festering wounds.

Nice break down on the trees. My one big issue with this current iteration on the DK tree is the first talent point on each of the tress. To me it is completely antithetical to the entire purpose of a talent tree to have a mandatory point that you have to spend just to progress. These spells should all be baseline abilities if they are mandatory picks just to progress through the tree. The purpose of a talent tree is to introduce choice and player agency in how to build their character based on the type of content they want to do or the play style they want to play. I also agree with Max on the DK class tree that it is too theme oriented and it does not offer enough options down the tree to swap between the different branches of the tree. It feels a little to consolidated for a talent tree and doesn't feel like it offers up enough variability between the directions you take in the tree.

The one thing about the trees that I think I just gaslit myself into thinking was going to happen was that they weren't going to 'make' you take 3 points in improved death strike for aboms limb. I think it's kind of a failing of a modern game tree that you can weave around A LOT more - finding more value in going horizontally then straight down is a choice because you won't always make it to the bottom (if it was properly pointed out) It makes sense for like ability changing talents to have a requirement - like D&D giving haste requiring D&D. But I don't see any bond between frost whelp requiring frozen pulse/avalanche, etc. Would rather see a web of choices rather than 3 vertical lines that sometimes overlap (which is the DK class tree)

I'm legitimately thinking about maining it in DF if it continues to look this strong. Also, bring back Necrotic Plague for UH, and make Festering Strike extend dots again instead of applying wounds. That would almost completely fix the spec for me. You could make some interesting decisions between wounds, diseases, and pets as the sections of the tree if they set it up that way.

I had the most fun in SL playing venthyr udk, which was the covenant mdi players went with in keys. The more target u had around u the more rp u generated and for that duration it felt like a bottomless well of epidemics and u just smashed big undying packs. I kind of wished when you used epidemic you gained a stack and when that stack reached 10 u exploded the disease or smtn for mega dam or evolved the disease into something stronger etc… it was kinda stale to just build big and spend big, there could be more interaction there kinda like the destro tier kit atm. It could spawn maggots that explode and spread wounds for all i care. Nobody talked about how the target of dnd is disabling the true power of the bfa wounds build, cant pop that many wounds with a single gcd atm, and i think they secretly nerfed the wound generation rate of that ‘ur pets generate wounds’ talent. Venthyr udk was buried after s1 as they mainly buffed necrolord to deem udks a little bit more in line with the rest of the dps specs and to do that by buffing a single covenant ability and conduits instantly slaughtered the rest of the covenants.

Abom Limb overall is prone to being super wonky right now. In PvE there's situations like Rygelon forcing DK's to either not use Abom Limb or cancel it out early if they dont want to mess up with add positioning while for PvP it can start breaking CC's off people when you only want to group up multiple targets. I think the damage and the pulling should be split, maybe make Abom Limb pure DPS and bring back Mass Grip somewhere else in the tree.

Having a PvP focused DK in these discussions would take this "session video" to the next level. Some of the talents discussed in the video are analysed only from a PvE perspective, whereas they make sense with regards to PvP. At 1:07:58 Atlas mentioned Enduring Chill being mathematically superior to Piercing Chill. In PvP however, you rarely get full value/hits out of Chill Streak. In other words, Piercing Chill becomes a better choice in PvP, because you will realistically get 2-3 hits anyway, since good PvP'ers will use cc breaks, grips or other utilities to move away from Chill Streak bounce range. Also, at 1:11:58 there was a talk about 2h Frost. Obliteration is a PvP build which works pretty well, and from the looks of it the talent tree looks pretty exciting with regards to PvP. Breath might be superior in dungeons and raids but then again 2h Obliteration is the go to talent for Frost PvP. Anyways, thank you for organizing this type of informative discussion session.

i am still a pusher of the idea that we should not have things taken away just to have them returned as 'choices' in a talent tree. they should remain baseline and be improved in some way via talents. for instance make mind freeze be altered slightly so it feels different for everyone but have it be in your base tool kit. for instance you can choose to either get runic power on successful interrupt, long silence on successful interrupt, shortened cooldown on successful interrupt, or it does a bit of damage whether it is successful or not. this gives four choices to choose and customize how you want to play. you need to be a big burster in a fight with interrupts? runic power on success. need to interrupt more in a heavy caster dungeon? shorter cooldown on success. a single mob with powerful casts? long silence. just want a little damage to stop the gap of dps? damage on use. 4 situations with only a little effort and nothing was taken away. this is more evergreen than what blizz has presented.

Something that was brought up during this and Im sure other talks as well, is the disparity between what pve players and pvp players 'want'. Now, this could be the simplest fix in the world, but 'what if' pve and pvp had completely separate talent trees? setup what you want for pve, setup what you want for pvp, and call it a day. The only times the pvp tree becomes active is open world warmode or in pvp scenarios. This would allow designers to tune the trees separately, and while I wont say eliminate, it would greatly reduce the vocalization of the disparity between the two sets of players.

It was so great class fantasy with depth in it that made you think how you manage your runes. And it lead to MEANINGFUL CHOICES, cool combinations in different scenarios. New runes made me do not want to play death knight, it was my favorite class. If you agree with me, please provide this feedback to blizzard, so we can have more fun again. Not even talking about weapon choices, auras and hybridity...

I'd say instead of taking away abilities to put in the talent tree why not have those talents improve upon those abilities, some of the bottom tree choices sure don't mind if they are abilities but practically DK's entire utility capability is in the talent tree instead of baseline as it should be and honestly kinda makes me salty for this new xpac God I hope they don't stick with this, death strike should be baseline as well as our ONLY interrupt mind freeze, chain of ice should be baseline, maybe swap mind freeze with dark simulacrum in talent tree? I wouldn't mind that lol 😆 idk right now as the talent tree is, its total cringe 😬

Being constrained to the lines connecting each node is a drag. If it was just open for whatever you wanted it would feel a lot better.

Haven't played wow in over a year now in favor of mechanically difficult-ish single player games, so perhaps strange take, but I think the dps-utility dilemma should be easily solved by actually challenging content that is alleviated by utility. Like great, you sacrificed all utility on your talent tree for damage and now your build, strong as it is, take 200 iq to play. Your rotation is convoluted af because you took 5 nodes that add complicated passives but nothing for qol, prepare to do 10 fight mechanics while spinning your plates. You have no defensive because you went full send on damage. Great. This mechanic is technically dodge-able but will debuff your based on how much damage you took should you fail, or you could dodge it while sacrificing dps uptime, but with a defensive you can realistically tank it. Even if dps is all that matters, utility can still be "needed" to enable dps. Perhaps dps nodes will raise a character's dps ceiling, while utility nodes its floor. Make a full dps build only realistically optimal for a slim minority of the playerbase, and let the average player choose how confident they are in their ability to perform.

Losing core abilities might feel bad for now but it's going to be better 100% because we have more options (stuff from other specs that were not accessible before) Having classes and specs being able to do different things is huge, not being forced to be a certain spec to do a certain thing because it's in the class tree is massive, this isn't that prevalent in the DK tree but in the other ones it is, this is *good.* I honestly think you guys are missing some of the intention with this tree. Too focused on numbers, numbers are not always better than utility, it all comes down to how they design the fights and game in general. We might see a shift here were just pushing straight up numbers might not be as important anymore but instead having the right tools for the fight and using it to perfection is more important and hopefully it varies what tools are needed in what scenario so that people can make use of the actual loadout system they are going to implement. Also please bring a Glad on for the next one for the love of God, you guys are talking as if PvP isn't even a thing. You said some stuff were useless when it is not for PvP:ers. More than just the triangle part at the top.

Mate, a lot of the abilities classes are getting access to again were pruned from them during WoD and Legion. Wtf you talking about "gaining access to more options" They're merely getting these abilities returned at the cost of having to sacrifice other abilities. "not being forced to be a certain spec to do a certain thing because it's in the class tree is massive" - instead now you're forced to be a jack of all trades when initially you just wanted to have a set role known for one thing. The problem you're not seeing here is that utility and what not does not reflect in performance meters. People like seeing numbers go up and competing on the meter. Utility does not reflect on these meters and therefore doesn't feel as satisfying. That doesn't mean utility isn't a satisfying thing, quite the contrary. When you're able to utilize your utility role to such perfection and still compete on the damage meter it feels amazing. This becomes nearly impossible though with these meters. The disparity between utility roles and pure DPS roles is only going to increase and make it less satisfying to optimally execute your supporty role in a fight. Honestly Wildstar had something similar to this and it just flat out didn't feel fun. You'd have people going full DPS build and you'd get recommended togo full DPS build and these builds would barely have any fun abilities in them because they were a DPS loss. Mobility? No. CC? No. Just damage. Other specs do what you do better so your spec's role is to sacrifice all of your fun abilities and become a damage bot. It's just not fun on either sides of the coin and it boggles my mind that people are praising the system which ultimately arbitrarily limits people's capabilities in fights and forces you to constantly swap in and out abilities through a bunch of menus. Since when did this become the pinnacle of 'fun'?

@@QPoily More options doesn't mean more shit to press at the same time. Options does not equal buttons, options means OPTIONS. No you are not forced to be a jack of all trades, you can 100% go all in on something and another DK/ROGUE or whatever might go 100% on the other thing, people will need different specs loadouts for different things, this is good whether you think it is or not. Think about this, 2 assassin rogues with good gear apply for your M+ Key and it's a high key but you need 1 AoE and 1 ST, instead of saying "YOU ARE NOT SUB YOU CANNOT COME" You can tell them "You can come but *one of you* have to spec into AoE" and they can play the spec they *enjoy* still. *One* of the few things this tree does for players is that they are not forced to swap spec to do a thing that is needed, no one brings a fucking assassin rogue currently for high M+ keys because their AoE is so bad in comparison to Sub, a tree that gives you options can fix that, "Oh you wanna do less ST for more AoE, Okay here are some talents for that." instead of being forced to swap into Sub even though you might not like that spec. Will sub be *better* at AoE? Maybe, we don't know, but at least picking an Assassin now might be *viable* instead of flat-out denied. Forcing people to play a spec they don't want is bad design. People only like the meter stuff because the content is easy, people care less about meters if people are actually struggling to kill something, if content is hard and it's because mechanics and utility is an issue, people care less about meters. I can prove this to you by just mentioning expansion releases, do people look at the meter as much early on as late on? No, why? Because they haven't figured out the content so just *completing* it is enough, DPS meters only come into a penis evaluation once content has become repetitive and *mundane.* So having content rely *more* on people doing the right stuff in fights is better, how can we do that? Utility abilities and forcing people to use them better. Content should always be hard, not because you're not pushing numbers but because the thing you are doing is hard, Shadowlands was *not* like this. It was a numbers expansion. And last but not least, for class and spec *balance* this is MILES better than the other stuff we have had. Think about it, "Rogue needs to do 0.2% less damage" what do we do? Nerf a fucking node. Easy, don't have to ruin an entire ability for it. I'm not going to bother more than this because your comment is telling me you don't actually understand what was being said and why this tree was made. Just wait for the game and see, people will 100% like this system more than anything that's been in a past 2 expansions. Now obviously I can be wrong, but so can you. So all we can truly do is just wait, but the intention and philosophy behind this redesign of the tree is good.
