So, any word on if they are gunna tweak blood dk mastery? It feels pointless to have mastery on gear when you could stack vers instead.
if only if it was like the old mastery where you could over cap on the shield
like a shield as big as your health
from 4.x
each time you heal yourself with ds while in blood pres you gain 50% amount healed as an absorb shield. each piont of mastery increases it by 6.25%

Even if it doesnt go to like that, something imo.needs to.chamhe about bloods mastery
vers should have been a section section of mastery
how would you redesign it?
Without making it OP, that is hard. Maybe change so it isnt just the base heal anymore. Maybe just scaling would help. I’m not too sure what they could do. Was hoping someone on the forums had a good idea.

If they insist on keeping it as it is, have it work on magical damage as well so it has some use against encounters like Skitra.
Would be nice if they buffed blood shield. Doesn’t have to be as OP as before, but make it better. I also wouldn’t mind if they let us use DRW more often and added some mechanics to make DKs the official parry tank, akin to how monks are the dodge tank.
I think DK survival is ok atm, but our damage is low. So why not adjust our mastery in to an attack buff/leach.
So in essence you would take damage and DS to heal back up, a portion of what you healed for would become an AP buff with some leach attached to it. Then you would stabilise some of our inherent spikyness.
Hmm, I like where you’re going with this. Unfortunately, it looks like mastery will be a dump stat again for the most part. Fingers crossed some changes are made.
Mastery for most tanks is kinda boring to be fair. Maybe if instead of a % dmg buff it would be a main stat buff. But yea for blood dk specificly, I think it should be stronger and definitly should feel better than vers at minimum.But at this point, I don,t really care about blood shield to be fair (and it could become just a passive since no matter they don’t want to make it scale much again), let’s make mastery into parry. A bit how warriors and pally it’s for block. It makes sense that we would parry more with a 2h.

Loved Death Knights at this point. You can choose, do I want to be a Blood DK that pushes more damage or do i want fatter shields. I Would stack mastery and my personal goal was to never have it fall off during an encounter. Good times. Would love to see this return.
