For real?
I love bone shield as a concept. Tank as a Necro and all, super chad.
I wish the skill got a visual rework tho.
Actually all the skills based on bone shield should get a visual rework, they are too “discreet”. Meanwhile Paladin is there flashy af, that isn’t fair.

tthats true, spinning “bones” around me, though cool, does not feel like bone ARMOUR.
I want to be protected by them.
and it just seems such an unholy act to rely on the bones (of others?).
not really, unholy could tank in a pinch in early wrath, but both blood and frost were objectively better at tanking.
however, to me the 32/39 look was the original unholy look, that was pet out, DW, and boneshield.
Bone armor is way cooler than boneshield.
Maldraxus set is the way to go, but I agree for the bone mog. The dk hidden artifact skin, the maldraxus 2h sword, or the TP/Remis dk arsenal weapons all have significant bone elements to them for weapon options.
Would be cool if bone shield had a visual and losing a stack broke off a chunk and you could see a splintering effect for the other talent. 1-10 stacks was something like bracer/glove, bracer/glove, boot, boot, arm, arm, leg, leg, chest, head or something like that. Show you building up bone armor to match stacks.
I don’t tank, but my wife still has not forgiven Blizz for taking away Frost tanking, and I kinda miss Blood dps.
Sometimes…
Late at night.

UH tank was never really a thing. In WoTLK, Blood always had better sustain, and Frost had better mitigation and snap aggro. Unholy could be durable for tank swaps with an offfensively slanted build if you didn’t have uDK debuff in your raid, but it was certainly never main tank material, in either of the two patches where it had the fringe capacity to tank. Add in that Unholy was an S tier DPS spec for basically all of Wrath, and there’s not really a point to Unholy tank. Like what were you even using for dungeon aggro as an UH tank, Blood Boil?

yes.
insect swarm, death and decay, theres things that can be done.
it was an option, they had a vision that all 3 specs could tank.
then they settled on blood. and now that self healing feels less cool as such, I recommend they return to unholy, make blood self heal dps spec.
@blizz let my words guide you…
100%
Wish they would make it so the number of charges you had would increase the number of bones that visually spin around you and make them various parts of skeletons. like some skull a forearm half a rib cage.
