Buff Heart Strike | Blood DK is DPS not tank

WoW Classic Cataclysm Classic Discussion

Blood is fun, and UH isn’t. Can you make a small change to pull blood out of meme DPS status:

Heart Strike
“50% chance to not consume runes”
“hits up to 3 targets”
“50% double RP generated”

Sudden Doom
30% up from 15%

Blood Worms
…are trash, you could quadruple their damage and still wouldn’t take them.

Why would they buff it when it was intentionally nerfed?

Heartstrike could use a better animation and sound effect.

blood was DPS, and is a meme DPS because it was over nerfed. undo the nerf.

Maybe he’s talking about blood dps? It’s pretty unclear.

Blood DPS isn’t a thing.

this is exactly why it needs a buff. it was a DPS spec, and is a meme now because someone got too happy with the nerf bat back in the day. undo the nerf.

No play frost or unholy. One class doesn’t need 3 viable dps specs.

coffee kicked in, reorganized the post. yes, Blood was a solid DPS, and was over nerfed. Put it back to where it was and make it a solid DPS.

On my blood DK I can literally pull mobs up to 10 at a time, slaughter them all, and not even have downtime afterwards. This build is damn near unkillable vs mobs. Elite quest mobs that used to be a challenge in the past are now stomped on.

Bottom line is the build is powerful enough already. You can take your sockpuppet back to the retail section now.

I see a mix of both tank and dps talents, which is pretty standard among all tank specs
