I'd personally remove this energy threshold as it's no longer required for entering 黑暗突变 with high energy. This is a thing since the pet only casts the claw ability when above 70 energy. However, one can now introduce minmax play where the pet energy is forcefully drained before using 黑暗突变, thus maximising the benefit of the energy gain. With this change a macro will no longer be required to minmax. This allows it to use more 横扫爪击 during 黑暗突变 which in turn results in more damage and more 溃烂之伤s being generated. In BFA, some players utilise macros in order to pool the energy of our pet in AoE scenarios. 黑暗突变 now grants your ghoul 100% energy on use (Rank 2 benefit) It doesn't help with our already long list of GCDs to use and it makes spreading your DoT a nuisance. Overall though, I don't think I like this change. You can avoid scenarios where it spreads to unintended targets. A benefit of the change is that you now have more agency over your DoT. You can also simply wait with the application until the tank has gathered everything in the pull, but will then trade a GCD for less DoT damage. Often, one applies it on pull and then reapplies it when appropriate in order to cover all targets. In Shadowlands, you have to be conscious about how you use 爆发 since it no longer automatically spreads to any target that is introduced to the pull.
爆发 is amongst the first GCDs in your AoE opener in BFA and thereafter only requires a reapplication further down the line. Since 爆发 no longer applies 恶性瘟疫 continuously (every 1 second) over 6 seconds, spreading your disease in AoE is no longer trivial. From a PvE perspective, this is only a tuning nerf in a way. By splitting the erupt damage, it only scaled linerally overall with added target (just like the DoT itself). The fact that 恶性瘟疫 no longer erupts doesn't matter too much. This means that in Shadowlands, the duration has been decreased by ~6.5 seconds. Because of the fact that 恶性瘟疫 pandemics (up to 30% of the overall duration is added to the new DoT), in conjunction with the continuous application through the 爆发 debuff, the real BFA durations are 33.3 seconds (without 黑死病) and 19.65 seconds (with 黑死病). First of all, even if the base duration has been increased, the actual duration has in fact decreased. Finally, it no longer has a chance to erupt (was 30% on every tick). Its duration has also been increased from 21 seconds to 27 seconds. 爆发 now only spreads 恶性瘟疫 on the instance of application (used to be every second for 6 seconds). It's still a much less significant factor in the rotation compared to the Dark Arbiter of Legion but opens up for some optimisation. It does introduce another GCD in the opener which doesn't help the GCD-issues with Unholy (discussed later on). It adds flavour and complexity without sacrifising dps-utility (as the talent did in BFA). It naturally translates the proc into a more versatile power-gain and increases the power of 末日使者 in AoE scenarios (probably still won't be worth over other alternatives).Īnother good change to the spec. Consuming procs of 末日突降 with 凋零缠绕 in AoE situations doesn't feel good in most scenarios (unless you can excplicitly benefit from the CD-reduction on 黑暗突变). Shoutout to the Acherus community as always for their eagerness to have constructive discussions and their help in creating this article.Ī great overall addition. We've received some nice new utility in the forms of 巫妖之躯 and 反魔法领域, a bit of added complexity to the normal rotation with 召唤石像鬼 becoming baseline as well as a selection of new runeforges. There's been a significant amount of individual changes, but the overall feel and gameplay remains similar to BFA Unholy. This article will display and discuss the changes that have hit the Unholy Death Knight so far in the Shadowlands beta. Additional traits after the initial Arcanic Pulsar have significantly reduced value.Feedback and opinions on the current state of Unholy Death Knight in Shadowlands, talking about spell and talent changes, the new Runeforges, Legendary Powers, GCD Issues and more!
Special message from tettles#5243: “If you sim your character with Arcanic Pulsar, keep in mind that Streaking Stars gains a ton of value.Please use your spec's theorycrafters resources for more indepth information.
