Another round of nerfs for Frost?

Fury remains untouched for 3 mos

These nerfs seen so unnecessary compared to other classes performance.
It’s concerning that these nerfs to Obliteration could force Breath of Sindy back into the meta (yuck no thanks)

Yeah no. Obliterate is way more fun.

I don’t feel S tier. And I just contemplating RoTA because I’ve wanted mobility for such a long time

Says the Demon Hunter in the DK forums…the irony…

Stuff like this just makes you lose street cred when you’re in the forums trying to talk balance - makes it sound like you don’t know what’s what in the what.

Thanks for bumping the topic -Mage-

By looking at how Frost is doing in Keys on Beta along side internal data and testing. They literally do not care about what is going on in these meme Heroics. People are still running Keys on beta testing specs even today, which if you look how all the specs that got nerfed to day are performing on beta, you kinda get an idea what their goal was. Todays nerfs basically brought down the top specs in M+ which were Frost DK, Enhance, Elemental, and Arcane (except they destroyed the entire play style arcane has been playing). All of these specs (except Arcane) essentially just got like 4-6% nerfs when all them were drastically higher than other specs in the game in both M+ and projected Raid performance. Go in and look at run done by people and you’ll see how absurd all these specs I mentioned: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/zone/reports?zone=39&boss=0&difficulty=0&class=DeathKnight&spec=Frost&keystone=10&kills=0&duration=0

Frost is still in a good spot, it just got reigned in a bit alongside a couple of other high performing specs. Yall are reminding me when every Unholy DK was dooming at the start of SL when they nerfed their mastery scaling after heroic week, screech the spec is dead, and then it remained on the best specs in the game.

Signed: An Ele shaman who ate a 4% nerf today.

LOL at some of you saying you’re going to quit when your spec that’s 50% ahead of many others gets a couple 6-10% nerfs.

It’s called balancing the game. Have we not learned this by now? Pre-season is the time to balance.

People dont care about balance, they want to be top dps and not gaf about balance until theyre not top dps anymore.

This would be true if it wasn’t, on the whole, absolute nonsense. People want to NOT feel pointlessly under performing. Especially when there’s 3 other melee classes OVER performing not getting adjusted at all. Especially when DK’s specifically had 3 expansions of one spec being pretty garbage, like, quite literally not competitive in the PVE space at all when compared to Unholy. And 2 Handed Frost at that was performing exceptionally well in the pre-patch when compared to Unholy. And now in the current expansion with itemization 2h Frost barely checks the boxes except for a very tiny proc window, which is difficult to hit because the primary damage skills are depend on 3 different cool downs and D N FRIGGIN D even with an additional use and reduced CD is still a garbage component of DK, DPS dependence.

Sunfury is an arcane mage hero talent…
Are you playing this expansion? Do you need me to explain what hero talents are too?
Go to the mage discord and say “arcane didn’t get nerfed” and see the response.
SMH

The people on these forums just want to be OP. That’s all there is to it.

Other than Fury, what are the other two specs that are over performing?

If you aren’t top damage as a Frost DK right now, you are playing the class incorrectly. Sorry, but the nerfs did not move the needle on how OP Frost is right now.

Meanwhile, Ret is barely ahead of the tanks.

Arcane needed a nerf, hands down without question.

Fury has been untouched and is dominating.

Frost hasn’t been good Since Legion and we’re finally a pickable class with some light weight utility.

At this point, why bring a DK over a Fury warrior? Honest question? Hero talents is one thing, core class design is another. When the CORE gets the nerf bat, BOTH hero talents still make the class suck. Get it?

You like to rant just because? Day job or something?

Wait what??? :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Ret paladins over performing???

Can you pass whatever it is you’re smoking? That must be some good stuff…

Here, let me respond from experience, i have a lvl 80 Ret Paladin geared in like 580 gear that on average tops meters, granted in heroic, by a wide margin MOST encounters my wake of ashes CD is up. Maybe you don’t know what you’re doing, maybe you’re under geared or perhaps you have a weird build that doesn’t get the numbers. I’ve seen it from other Ret paladins and I do so myself. So I dunno how you’re perplexed.
