I think it’s a welcomed change, kills Frostscythe but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make
my dk will not know the defeat of being a blue fairy, this is ridiculous, still has the courage to talk about RPG, to hell the numbers. I have more than 300 days with my dk in / played, I will never be a fairy. ridiculous thing.

This is exactly why they will not be able to balance things. They really need to separate these abilities from the covenants, I wouldn’t even mind if the ability choice itself was permanent for example you join the skellyboys as a perm choice and then are given another perm choice to make about which ability you want, so you could be a Venthyr with slappy hands for the whole xpac for example. They just need to do something because if anything its limiting player choice.

Why does it feels like the convents are designed by people who doesn’t speak to each other and plays totally different games?

you dont make Druids go Necrolord
you dont make Death Knights go fairy
you dont make Paladins go Necrolord
These were the only three that you could mess up

It is, in fact, possible to “roleplay” a character as more than one archetype rather than being funneled into maximum edgelord.

No one is interested to play a DK that has this ability :
If someone is, please turn in your DK card.

How extraordinary that you’ve been selected as the voice of all DK players. You must be very proud of yourself.

I agree 100% with this hot take.
Having Kyrian, Venythr, and Necrolord as legitimate options makes sense. But Night Fae is in direct contrast to the DK fantasy. Players who want a less narrow path might lean towards playing a Warrior.

Make me.
So is Kyrian.
Or players could be free to choose whatever the hell they want and not be held back by your own restrained imagination.

Ehhh, I can’t comment on Druids since I don’t play them but it’s a pretty bad take in a world where the Corrupted Ashbringer appearance is a thing.
Yeah, nah your DK card should be revoked. Any true DK would be stoked about a free 10% haste, no matter the cost.

I think we should stop arguing about what other people should want to do.
I do not want to be forced into night fae for pve. That’s the argument we should be having. Blizzard is making one ability far more worthwhile than the others. Even with these nerfs. 2H frost especially seems to need this now, and the problem is even more exacerbated by this change.
Other DKs like night fae or don’t care about the aesthetics. None of them are wrong for feeling that way. So stop arguing about it. It’s a distraction.

I agree with him. you don’t speak for us either, what are you doing here with a warrior? switch to your dk and let’s talk. or get out.

It’s definitely a nerf but it’s more generous than I was expecting. Death’s Due was ahead in PvE performance across M+ and Raiding for all specs so a nerf was anticipated.
See, this is exactly what I was saying. Warriors have a much more open interpretation of what it is to be a Warrior. It’s a great class to “unrestrain” your imagination. Death Knight on the other hand, has very specific lore and fantasy. Death magic is in direct contrast to Life magic.
The Corrupted Ashbringer was wielded by a Death Knight.
It’s a good nerf, but honestly you likely build the strength buff/debuff faster now. Might not be fully best choice now
The Corrupted Ashbringer appearance is welded by Paladins.
Going where I please to discuss classes I play.
Make me.
Depends on how it stacks with the new function. Stack per rune? Stack per target hit? Or stack per skill cast? The blue post was… ambiguous.
