Blood is doing a ton of damage rn, what is odd is nerfing the damage without buffing survivability, pushing keys as blood is the most miserable experience of because of how squishy blood is on the start of a pull until it gets all the crap rolling.

If we got even more armor from bone shards 30% baseline vs 10% plus talent and more haste like 15% and more parry 45% like it used to be

Did anyone complain about this spec lol.

+1 on this change just NOT feeling great.

First to admit that the adjusted rotation is going to take a little getting used to before comparing directly. But this nerf feels pretty bad on initial pass.

If blood was crushing other tanks and all folks were inviting, sure. But the fact they weren’t this nerf just feels bad to be playing Blood.

Blizz - I want to clarify I am NOT saying those tanks need to be nerfed!!

u can look at the logs from people who raided on reset days. Blood is horribly behind every tank now… some clown making these changes i swear. Blood was already the worst dps tank, and now just got worse…

And they were nice enough to make sure they gutted San’layn too. I’m trying to make San’layn work, but I just can’t. Having Gift of the San’layn on VB might not have been ideal, but it was a hell of a lot better than DRW. At least on VB it was functional. Now? Pray to RNGesus, because he’s the only one that’s gonna be able to keep that buff up.

I’ll be honest I laughed out loud when I saw the Blood DK nerfs

I know right??? I had the build spec right and had it flowing well with vampblood up nearly every 1.5 packs now it feels clunky as hell and no more super up time. Im kinda done with blood now, i was having fun playing an offspec and making it work

Blood was already dropping in the ranks and now its way down its gonna be with BM soon, still the funnest tank to play tho.

Just read that they are getting buffed after next weeks reset.

it’s still a net nerf, at least in a m+ setting.
