Hey all - what are you all running for arena on frost dk?
I was using Flark’s cryoreaper build but I feel like the tier bonus forces you to run shattering blade to get any benefit from it, otherwise the small runic power spender buff does nothing.
I run DW right now
Also, I literally can’t bring myself to run rider. It’s such a boring, even if flavorful, hero spec. I feel like I do NO damage on Rider whilst I can quite literally global someone with reaper’s mark procs on Deathbringer. Rider just feels like a ton of additional utility and defensives without any damage to compensate
Rider does better overall damage, whereas deathbringers is all packed into reapers mark and exterminate. I agree that deathbringer feels more exciting but if you wiff with reapers mark or don’t pop it at high enough stacks you’re losing a ton of damage. Same goes for breath of sindragosa. All it takes is someone to cc you during it and it’s done.
Don’t overthink rider too much. Chill streak + pillar + frostwyrm with feast of souls talent will get you hitting pretty damn hard. It’s not the most complex spec but it’s more reliable than deathbringer imo.
Also deathbringer has no horsies and is probably the slowest moving spec in the game. It can feel quite… glacial.
Didn’t Xal’atath left you to die in a war?
Yeah maybe I’m just playing it wrong. Feels like a utility heavy spec without much damage. I’ll try it though.
Me and a buddy ended up losing a lot of games last night after we were literally stomping people two weeks ago … did Death-bringer get nerfed a lot?
