On Arena side, a Unholy DK can't kill a Holy Paladin alone, neither using Corpse Explosion on low health, at high ratings (supposing, so, high skillcap) while a Paladin can due to Avenging Wrath which bypasses 50% of ALL damage reduction effects and good crit procs. If he doesn't bubble-up, at same skillcap, the DK wins with good CD management, but most of people use Divine Shield constantly on duels, waiting for Forbeareance to fade-off, then Avenging Wrath. Lichborne + Antimagic-Shell? Kite, preventing RP generation from attacks and heals on proc by Art of War. If not, he will give a lot of problems anyway. Of course, if we suppose he's gonna use Divine Shield. On 1vs1, using a Unholy DK at quite high skillcap, a Retribution Paladin (same skillcap) overpowers you. I've spent time in tons of server, PvE and PvP oriented and I consider myself well skilled with dueling as a DK and if I should mention the class which gives more troubles to DKs i would say "Paladin". I've been playing WoW for nearly 9 years, WotLK for kinda 7, all with a DK which is my favourite class. TL DR In ur duel scenario under Dalaran Dk always has the advantage vs any Class and the other class has to play almost flaweless and outplay the DK to win, there is no counter in ur scenario, only in Arena Ele can win if the Dk cant AMS roots, grip and use Gargoyle lol And a way better Ret, Warrior and even SP with shackle Undead and Lock with portal outrange, rogue with gay vanish strats, can also beat him.

If the Dk is just alot worse player and doesnt know how to abuse his mechanics in that dalaran duel scenario a Frost Mage can beat him if he watches out for Gargoyle timing Mirror images and block, pet nova and so on. If we stay in this open field scenario under Dalaran where sick pets rule, an Enhancement shaman with gear, in an OLOLOL PET battle duel might be your best bet, as he should be able to survive with his wolves, if he cant win the dk until wolves end it will be hard tho, depends on how many Death Strikes he dodges maybe and on the gear and dmg they deal to each other.Īs alrdy mentioned, if theres endless space hunter can just outrange him and fuck him up, but this is not guaranteed under Dalaran. Maybe a feral, who is one of the biggest counters of DK in general and only loses duel cause of Gargoyle dmg can use one of these boxes in Dalaran to kite and avoid Gargoyle and heal himself, but i have yet to encounter a feral to tryhard this much, most good players dont take these Duels under Dalaran too serious anyway. But if u mean a 1v1 in a small open field Duel zone like under Dalaran, Unholy Dk beats everything except other DKs simply because he uses Gargoyle open field and has the rest of his stuff, too. Dk got plenty of counters in Arena, and is fairly beatable in a 1v1 with a pillar, by Druids, Pals or SP.
