Lol, they sure saw the protest on the forums but still don’t bother reconsider adding limbs back but reduce grip cd. But, defile nerfs is wild though
Yup. This was exactly all the changes we wanted. /s
What’s with all the crit on everything? To make up for how they gutted crit this season?
I like the breath change.
Other than that… feels like 5 billion steps backwards.
This. I don’t understand why they want us to go with Desecrate so much. It’s a two button ability, You press it you put it down, and then press it again to activate it. That’ two whole buttons/GCDs.
Why merge Dark Transformation and Apocalypse if they were just going to force us into having more buttons? Just give us a DnD aura at this point.
I really hope this gets changed. I don’t want to have to use Crit as a stat. Haste and Mastery all the way.
BoS is definitely a win. The whole empowerment aspect seemed scuffed. I saw a few players already deciding to use the first tier of empowered ability to line up with CDs better.
I like the changes to Breath so far, hopefully plays well live.
60 RP for an 8-second base BoS is pretty solid, considering 8 seconds of Breath currently costs 136 RP. A 30 second shorter cd is always nice as well!
Hopefully the damage translates well to PvP. Been running Breath since Legion day 1, good to finally see some tuning on it.
Now, fingers crossed, they decide to leave Abom Limb or at least offer it as a PvP talent!
With how it works now, I wish it was 40 rp so you could use empower to get the rp instantly that you need. Other than that I like the change. (And hope they look at the pvp modifier)
The combo of Pillar, Empower, Riders and Breath into obliteration is going to be really fun imo. The new empower in general is such a W change. The new breath is too.
It’s exactly what you mentioned, they just want us to force to use the things they upgrade on and make the other talent meaningless because they knew it was good from the start and players gonna use defile anyways
I’m a fan of Deathbringer myself. I’ve hit Reaper’s Mark crits for 5.5 million in PvP, on top of Breath & Oblits you can one shot people @ 50% health.
For sure. Reapers mark is getting that 30% damage increase too. I am just happy breath will finally line up better with cds in general.
Yeah, cd’s lining up better will make things a lot smoother. I really hope they don’t remove Abom Limb, it’s fundamental to DK PvP and especially Breath.
Sadly, looks like it isn’t coming back. I wish they would just move gorefiends in its place if they really need to get rid of it.
The best solution would be to make it a choice node with something that has raid utility. That would solve the issue without everyone else (non-raiders) losing Abom Limb.
2nd best option would be to offer it as a PvP talent at the very least.
Why buff Death and Decay for Unholy and nerf Defile? What is the point… Defile is literally part of the fantasy, just ged rid of D&D entirely and make Defile baseline.
Abom. Limb never fitted Frost or Blood thematically, so I think it was a good thing to remove it, but I think it’s a big loss still, they could have made something similar for both Frost and Blood that fit them thematically and kept Abom. Limb for Unholy, but Blizzard rarely does logical decisions.
What’s the point of desecrate being 2 button presses? At that point, just make dnd always explode on cast. This way it functionally acts like a dnd aura giving us cleaving strikes while also doing damage when applying it.
uh what blood needs limb the most tho lmao if making thematic changes are so important we can change the name of the spell
