![]() Anti-Magic Shell: Prevents magical debuffs (allowing you to dodge mechanics) and absorbs a large amount of magic damage.The Unholy Death Knight brings a diverse set of utility to the game, primarily helping ourselves with dodging mechanics. Unholy Death Knight Utility for Dragonflight Why You Should Play Unholy Death Knight in Dragonflight Season 2 We can now pick up Defile and Epidemic far more easily due to talent tree changes! There are some still issues like Summon Gargoyle stuttering but I believe we have seen a strong improvement overall throughout the expansion. Furthermore, we have better choice when picking between Single Target and AoE in raiding scenarios, a space where we previously had to pick either. ![]() If we compare to Dragonflight launch, we now have a smoother rotation that is overall quite free from bugs (thinking about early Unholy Aura issues). That's made up to some degree by being incredibly tanky. We also don't quite bring enough utility to make it to the top of the league in the Mythic+ meta. The current main negative aspect is our over-reliance on specific trinkets (looking at you Algeth'ar Puzzle Box) and a damage profile that some could deem as being too bursty. Some of these builds take us back to old days of quadratic scaling heaven (Wound Build) whereas others reminds us of days when our DoTs were actually really powerful (DIsease Build). The variety really shines through in Mythic+ where we have 4+ builds depending on scenario and your own taste. Unholy in Dragonflight has a number of different playstyles and buildes. In addition to this, we have a large amount of individual cooldowns that we need to manage properly to optimise our DPS. We have a core rotation consisting of Festering Strike, Scourge Strike, Outbreak and Death Coil, revolving around the building and bursting of Festering Wounds and maintain our DoT (same since legion). In Dragonflight we can do by far the most AoE damage (as demonstrated by the very skilled players in the MDI) as well as burst incredibly high in single target. Unholy is a spec with very strong thematic flavour as well as scaling capabilities quite like anyone else. ![]() Why You Should Play Unholy Death Knight in Dragonflight Season 2 (and Why You Shouldn't) Why You Should Play a Spec in Dragonflight Season 2 SeriesÄragonflight Season 2 Death Knight Tier Set Need help choosing a new Class in Season 2?
