The DK’s Death and Decay Cleaving Strikes mechanic is so amazing, Blizzard should change other classes to function similarly so that other classes can also experience the same great gameplay.
Example, Retribution Paladin:
- Wake of Ashes is Single Target only.
- Blade of Justice is Single Target only, no talents to increase targets, cannot be talented to drop Consecration.
- Wake of Ashes only becomes AoE when the Paladin is standing in Consecration.
- Blade of Justice hits an additional target when the Paladin is standing in Consecration.
- Consecration is now on a 30 second cooldown.
If Consecration is on cooldown, then there is no option for AoE until it is back up. If the Paladin steps out of Consecration, the Paladin will only deal Single Target damage.
This gameplay inspired by DK’s Cleaving Strikes mechanic will be amazing on all other classes.

Even better, Prot Pally’s Shield can only bounce while in Consecrate

It has no place with frost dks. But I’ve always enjoyed unholy aoe because of the d&d cleave.
I literally hate using DnD as frost. The problem is tanks just love pulling mobs out of the red stuff on the ground and they frequently tank my dps.
I think frost should lose DnD and have remorseless winter take its spot. Decrease its damage or whatever to balance it but the additional cleave being a part of remorseless winter just feels better than DnD.

Or you’re playing a sanguine week and guess what…move move move…
The TWW changes only reinforce Blizzard DK dev is not listening to DK community nor cares to listen to DK community as they double down on DnD and “fix” by having us cleave for 4 seconds outside of DnD…
No mention of Frostscythe either getting removed or fixed as a talent for Frost so it is just another wasted point, in all of DF I had zero reason to ever consider grabbing Frostscythe and I cannot see 1% even seeing a reason to grab it.
Would you prefer to have a 6 target hard cap on AoE so you’re always at a disadvantage in M+?
It’s not fun having to work through 2 GCD and using runes just to build up your DPS waiting for a proc and waiting to get 3 stacks of Unleashed Frenzy to actually get a chance to kill things while every other class just face rolls in and pops everything to maximize their burst windows…you know what I hate as a Frost DK?
slow people not chain pulling.
Don’t you know if you hate the class design or can’t hit the top 70th percentile then you reroll?
Smh. Elitist common logic is just staring you in the face.
Ahhh now i see the /sarcasm…
But a summonable (at random) NPC on a hero talent node can have a DnD aura like how hard can be to just put an aura to the PC, (also DnD /Defile on unholy can be 15 sec CD but only for unholy)
