This is it. Additionally comes in the fact that bauble as a trinket, that nearly every (top rated) healer has, counters the DK's strangulate and makes alot of people survive times when they would have died for sure without bauble.

DK is bad not only in arena, it's basically a joke in wpvp, since 80% of the server seem to play paladins, so even against non-BiS retry/preg DK as class sucks in 99% cases. Same with duels, and bg equal war lives no longer that's true, but deals at least somehow noticeable damage, when dk dies in second under other melee classes and hits as a wet noodle.
Indeed, against paladin dk have no chance, but dk is the only class that can faceroll any caster and keep 100% health.
Try to kill hunter, mage, priest, warlock at open space with paladin, in 90% scenerios if they are at least average paladin will die, while dk still have a lot of chance at open space battle.
Bs if you're a really good dk you will do fine vs 99% of the paladins on this server 1v1, they're also pretty strong in SoloQue I'd place them top 5 class.
Every ****noob in this thread that says otherwise is prolly a low rated player/bad dk hence why they had bad experience with it
Sure how about I 1v1 any of your paladins from this thread on my dk, as long as you promise to post the results here afterwards
