Blues at their best ever…

   Posted by: Skeleton Jack   in Blue

Heya guys!!

Frost might still do okay with 2H. We didn’t specifically nerf their 2H abilities. We just gave them a talent to make DW more viable. I don’t honestly know how 2H Frost dps stacks up in 3.2 at the moment.

So.  Who else really just stopped dead in their tracks when they read the words, “I don’t honestly know how 2H Frost dps stacks up in 3.2 at the moment.”?  I sure as hell did.

Backing up a step…

I played a Shaman for the vast majority of BC.  It was a hell of a lot of fun even though I was playing one of the weakest damage dealing classes in all of PvE and PvP content.  I enjoyed playing this character even though Blizzard never understood how the class really worked, ignored the problems consistently, and in the end ultimately failed at balancing the class as a whole.

So that being said, I can speak with some authority on playing a broken class for an extended period of time.

Moving back to now…

So basically the weakest spec for PvE damage (Frost) is obviously being followed very closely by the Devs… *shakes head*

OK, first up I like Frost.  It’s really cool.  But it’s damage is subpar.  The Blue posts exemplifies why this has happened sadly when of course they are initiating Frost nerfs when they have people who have no concept of Frost’s performance in the game.  I don’t really know what else to say on this matter.  It really speaks for itself.

The future of Death Knights

This is a detailed and long post I don’t have the time for.  But I tell you this now.  DK’s are not dead, they will not suck, nor should you be quitting your DK.  A strong community presence on the forums of WoW is honestly one of the only things that can and will prevent massive nerfs from going through.  If you sit idly by the sidelines without speaking up, then you have no one to blame but yourself.  That said, keep your arguments informed and educated.  Don’t just whine or cry.

It’s been a busy weekend for me guys.  Hell I slept in till like 4pm because I was so exhausted from this last week.  Had a ton of work to do on the D20 rules stuff for our 3.5 campaigns (D&D).  But, that is behind me now (yay!!) and I can get back to focusing on DK’s.

If you’re getting discouraged, don’t be.  Honestly it’s frustrating as all hell when you’re gettin nerfed, but we’ll make it through.  We’re Death Knights.  We not a bunch of sissy Nancy boy rogues or mages who are going to cry because we got a nose bleed.  Man up, weather the storm, and prove what we’re made of.  Remember to keep active in the forums and to not whine or cry.  Speak your message, and back it up with facts.  We are the dark destroyers of WoW, not a sissy caster in robes.

All I’m wondering about is I don’t read many comments in the official forums on the BS-buff … “increased to 50% per disease” (instead of “by 50%”) seems radically overpowered to me. As a BloodDK I just hope people keep sitting at the sideline mucking about this! ;)

Hmm, correct me if I’m wrong here. It seems like blizzard is pushing more towards DKs becoming single target DPS now. If thats correct then it kind of makes sense with the way the Ulduar raid goes. Just something i was thinking about.

BTW. WOW just straight WOW to the blue post. I don’t know what to say to it other then…..WOW!

Hey SJ, I believe the frost nerfs were intended to nerf the PVP aspect of Frost, not Unholy.

I, myself play Frost DK / Prot Paladin at 2450+ rating and can honestly say it feels kind of OP in a way.

Even though it is only represented by 7% of the PVP DK’s, those who master Frost in pvp kinda rock with it.

Either way, I’m not giving up and I’m taking this heads on even though it’s a much bigger nerf for PVP players than for PVE ones.
