This is going to be an amazing buff. Currently as a mage I can destroy a dk with 1 set of cds, without even using my cold snap, its all lock downs and freezes, and the dk drops so fast. Once that pets gone, and gargoyle is released, a nice counterspell to that pet stops it from doing 3k damage a hit and reverts it to a 350 damage physical damage for at least 9 of the 20 seconds its available. By that time the dk is almost dead and finishing it off with a nice set of deep freeze will destroy him/her. Tricking the dk into using anti magic shield before a deep freeze is key, and allows the mage the HUGE upper hand on destroying the class. I am excited for this buff, as well as the mage buff. Seeing these 2 titans collide on the battle field will now be even more epic than its current state. Its really going to be a battle of brawn vs brains here.

“i also think dk’s need some more ranged spells, so they might actually stand the smallest chance against the other OP pvp classes, like pally and lock.”

Are you kidding me? Both unholy and blood dks usually smack warlock pretty bad (yes even if the have pvp gear and the doesn’t) and when it comes to retridins vs blood for example it’s really up to the player. We have Mind Freeze, stangulate, death grip (interrupts/silences) we have anti-magic shell (duh), we have self healing every hit if blood or in blood presence (and if in frost we have lots more health). we have a ghoul to sacrifice which should count as a semi-instant heal since we can use it while running (making it a 3 sec heal with the ability to use instantly).

My point being; warlocks are the least of our problems when it comes to pvp (including all lock specs).

And to the guy who said “buff mages”… Go drown yourself:P Mages could be made more fun, that’s something I could agree with when you say that you want them buffed. But never increased dmg, when played right they are a horrible threat in both pvp and pve when it comes to dmg.

Blood tanking for life<3

i like the one tank tree. It sucked being blood and lacking so hard in AoE tanking, it was possible but it did suck. and lacking the survivalbilty of blood while in frost boss tanking. making a one tree tanking spec will be a refreshing look at the DK tank. looking forward to seeing the mechanincs

Quit complaining. Every class is changing, some more than others like Warlocks, Hunters, and Paladins. Death Knights start at level 55. That alone gives them an incredible bonus, but that also gives them an incredible disadvantage. You get to skip to 55, the reason for so many poor death knights out there. Most people seem to just want everything easy and handed to them. Instead of complaining about all the changes, why not embrace them? Look at it as a new challenge. Change is not always bad. By the way, a lot of you need to learn grammar, spelling and to not use lazy abbreviations. I don’t take posts that are hard to understand seriously at all. Neither do I take posts seriously that just complain. How about you actually give reasons as to why you don’t like the changes.

Hahahahaha woooot blizzy fuck up again . Word’s cannot describe how crap this modification to the DK is…are we alowed to please change our class from this now bottom shit class to another (say an OP pally or mage)? kk ty

My respect for blizzy has gone down the drain…i’ve read up on all the class changes and what not and i say it’s not too much of a great expansion (6/10). I had a love for my DK but now you guy’s are going to ruin it so again tyvm

I’m glad that they have decided to make a specific tanking spec. but I’m a little surprise that bliz chose blood and not frost. I played with both unholy and blood spec. for Dps I think Blood is better at Dpsing. I guess we’ll have to wait and see how bliz changes will work. If it doesn’t they will just change it aging.

ok why the fuck u guys firstable QQ’ing bout Blood?, Blood imo is the best for tanking, and not dps? Imo unholy frost do muuuuuchh more dps then blood on Single and AoE!

Changing DKs to blood tanking is a decent idea. In WotLK, i saw no real use for blood. Frost for tanking, and some pvp, unholy for pvp and dps… Blood fit in nowhere. It was crap dps, crap tank, crap pvp.

I defiantly agree with the changes to the rune cool downs, it seems like an excellent idea from a PvE standpoint. I only worry about the Dk’s PvP ability once they are able to do double the damage of their normal dps, as an initial burst.

To Quandery, the hardest class to play should be the one that does the most dps. Although I see your reasoning, making any one class that much harder to play than all the others is never a good idea.
