Why does Unholy/Blood gain a cleave effect on the base death and decay, while Frost must be Night Fae in order to get this cleave. It honestly sounds pretty stupid that Frost is the only spec that gains nothing from the base Death and Decay. They have to play Night Fae in order to get this effect. While the strength bonus is base across all 3 specs with Death’s Due.
While I’m at it, why doesn’t Frost have Soul Reaper? Unholy gets an execute, but it just seems like they just screwed Frost over with some of these things. Frost doesn’t get the base cleave effects, and they dont get the same execute we’ve had before in past expansions. I honestly feel like they don’t know what to do with Frost, and just throwing things at the wall until it sticks.
It baffles me that you would want to chain yourself down to a ground effect for your AoE, especially in this tier. I would drop DnD out of UH’s rotation in an instant if we could talent into something like Necrotic Plague or just a stronger epidemic. Why not ask for a buff to Frostscythe instead??
It’s not so bad for Blood because as the tank you’re usually controlling the positioning, although with affixes like storming I’d bet they’d drop it too in favor of something that moves with you. As a DPS, I’m 110% okay with DnD not being a mechanic that’s critical to my AoE.
This is completely valid. We told them back in beta and got ignored. It’s like if Fury had execute and Arms didn’t all of a sudden.
[Field of Blossoms] - Similar to [Grove Invigoration], this ability is also nerfed for us. Again with a factor of 4, making the haste buff actually last 2.5 seconds. Still a really nice ability that is a solid DPS gain.
[Grove Invigoration] - The first Soulbind ability we receive. It’s important to note that the stacks gained are nerfed by a factor of 4 for Frost! This means that we only gain 2 stacks whenever we use. It’s still a good spell and a solid DPS increase!
Reading this first and then the next one implies they are both nerfed only for frost.
Think it’s simply based on the frequency of trigger. We can trigger it on a 30 sec CD which is a lot higher frequency than classes that have a 2 min CD.
VP is hard to nail down though, its quadradic both in the eruption and when combined with epidemic, the more targets the more damage VP does. single target though, FF is stronger.
