9.0.5 Changes

General

  • Death’s Due and Shackle the Unworthy Buffed. I don’t know what those buffs are.

Blood

  • According to WoWhead, they will be removing AMZ for Blood… I don’t know why…
  • They’re doing something with Death and Decay cooldown modifiers and Death Strike for some reason?
  • THEY ADDED A PERIOD IN RELISH IN BLOOD .

Unholy

  • SS, CS, NS hits 4 targets near a target when you’re in Death and Decay. We know this…
  • DEFILE IS GETTING A CHARGE!?!?!?!?!?! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!??!?!?!?!? 20 seconds CD AND A CHARGE.
  • Rank 3 Eternal Hunger gets a 0.3% minion damage increase.
  • SCRATCH DEFILE, ALL 3 Specs of Death and Decay gets a CHARGE.

Death’s Due

  • Now applies 2% per stack instead of 1%. Guess what, 2H Frost will be still garbage for Night Fae Frost Dks. It now only takes ONE obliterate against two targets to reach 8% strength as a DW DK. Other classes can also reach 8% strength against 4 targets now with 1 GCD too. Neat!

Shackle the Unworthy

  • Damage redox to enemies affected by StU increased from 5% to 8% and the AP scaling increased to 205.275% from 178.5%. Probably will still not see play though but the AP scaling over 14 seconds seems somewhat promising.

No Frost changes. :cry: But different degrees of buffs! DISCUSS!

EDIT: Nevermind. A “charge” for Death and Decay, Defile and Death’s Due does not mean anything. But you still get to apply 2% Death’s Due debuff to enemies though.

I got excited for nothing it seems. :frowning:

This seems to be that an Aura has an effect on Death Strike and AMZ. AMZ is getting removed from the aura effect. (Could be vers?)

idk, but I dearly hope they don’t remove AMZ for blood.

Blood is already in a rough shape as is. An extra charge of Death and Decay helps a bit though.

Love the change to fleshcraft.

Hope for at least death and decay being meaningful for frost dk that’s don’t pick night fae. A charge of death and decay still will feel meaningless to most frost death knights.

hmm defile has 1 charge. Not sure what that even means

fleshcraft buff is nice. honestly that’s more of a buff to shamans/druids than it is for us

BM in starting area + fleshcraft is useful atm, unless you plan on using it to avoid cc in the first 50~ seconds of the match

Huh… Good question…

… bad question…

… actually, that’s a really good question.

DAMMIT DUDE. YOU’RE BREAKING MY HOPES AND DREAMS WITH FACTS NOW!!!

ARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! :rage:

I got excited for nothing. T_T

Very confused by this tuning phase.

Another nerf to hpal? Hmm.

Fmage still doing it’s thing, Convoke still Convoke…but aff lock gets a nerf? What?

Bliz have gone off their rocker.

I have a really dumb question but need some reassurance that I’ve read something incorrectly… when you look at Effect#3, Modifiers Damage/healing done, mouse over death strike in the link, the tooltip shows a heal of 25% of damage taken, where live has it listed as 30%

I’ve missed something very obvious right?

Potentially laying groundwork for 9.1 changes, possibly getting multiple death n decays/defile

You probably took Voracious as a talent.

ah thank you! jeez I was looking around optimistically at the patch notes for a BDK buff of some kind and got worried

Hmm, at least I can enjoy the buffed flesh craft

OH YEA

The Fleshcraft Buff is definitely noticable.

My Warlock is gonna enjoy it a lot.

EDIT: Also Blood keeps AMZ. I just checked on the PTR.

Fleshcrafts buff is fantastic but there’s literally nothing for frost…

well we did get a 5% damage buff during hotfixes

That’s like telling a starving kid to not worry because they ate a cookie 2 weeks ago
