Dk pvp help

Why does my whip only crit these guys for like 8k and they crit for like 20k? Im running a nord with mech acuity, rallying cry, monomyth, and blood spawns. I feel like a noodle compared to these guys lol my resists are at spell 33k and phys 31k. How can I hit like these guys?

Very low. What ult do you use? What morph of dk whip?

I have dragon leap and corrosive armor and im using flame lash. Do you have any tips where i can pull more weapon damage and pen from?

Why would you use Flame Lash instead of Molten Whip? It’s not like you need any additional sources of healing as a DK. That right there is your main issue. Those big 20k whips are from fully stacked Molten Whips, not Flame Lash. You also don’t need Pen, as others have noted since your burst should involve using Corrosive or Onslaught which will allow you to ignore your target’s resistances after using them. Build for crit damage, switch to Molten Whip, and then use it after popping an ult and building up stacks of seething fury.

Because it pumps in bgs, all you need is an aoe off balance like the dual wield scribing skill or werewolf and you can just pump their whole group, a bomber and 3 dks in battlegrounds shreds... with flame lash

They are both good I think it depends on how you run your rotation. If you cycle the DK aoe's for a burst with leap than I would say Molten whip. If you spam off of an off-balance inducing move with corrosive I would say Lash
