Lazy and ineffective change for pvp at least
For pve i could see something like this scaling better down the expansion but its certainly not going to make frost âbetterâ enough in pve to be picked over unholy
And for PvP we need larger buffs than 5% thats for sure in our core abilities. Death strike needs to be un nerfed by how much is the true discussion although it would make the most sense to increase the minimum heal over the maximum
Chillstreak needs to be tuned down a bit to justify a overall damage increase, It doesnt have to be gutted but it should be nerfed enough to where missing a chillstreak doesnt feel like the end of the world but is still very ideal to land one over not landing one
And lastly dks need to advocate more for our talents and honor talents to be revisited. Some talents need design changes and others need significant tuning changes. Permafrost for example could use a mix of both
Im sure some of you saw my dead of winter suggestions already so theres that
Hypothermic could see more use if it wasnt as plain as reducing runic power cost. You could add a damage variable in there for frost strike
A cool idea too which some of you might not like but who knows but what if instead of reducing RP costs with hypothermic it actually increased them but with significant damage increases to the abilities?
Really just ideas. Dks need design changes more so than flat % tuning

I will gladly take any buff so I welcome the 5% buff across the board with frost dk. It is a welcomed buff for sure.

I to will welcome any table scraps Blizzard feels fit to finally throw to DKs
5% better is something i suppose. but it doesnât really fix any of our actual problems imo.

Design problems arent going to be fixed until next expansion. The spec is not majorly broken and the only option for them to fix any mechanical issues mid expansion.

Will this help Frost catch up with Unholy?

Agree. Hope they do to DK what they did to paladins. Starting Legion paladins just improved dramatically kit wise and visually as well.
Us DKs still have mostly cata visuals and animations as well as what you mentioned as seemingly lackluster talents. Just look at Paladins Final Reckoniing Talent. So awesome lol

No.
Hehe I like my final reckoning when I have wings up.
The sound effect and aoe effect is very cool. Itâs like telling get ready your defensives or die. Very threatening.
Go back to icc, Arthas had a lot of cool animations. Should probably have something like that where frost dks should be able to yank a player half way across the area, 5 min CD, hits for 7k, crits for like 12k.
Or make âold schoolm army of the dead available for all Dk in arenas 5 min CD 
Not this crappy small band army of dead unholy has now. The real wotlk army of the dead.
Would make for a lot more interesting plays than the lame turnip/ snowball streak. And not force dk to craft a stun leggo and instead use koltiras

While Unholy will still be better, this is a decent buff for Frost.
Blizz could throw out a 20% damage buff but it still wouldnât make frost DKs the Meta. Good teams will CC or disarm during pillars of frost. Our damage is fine what we need is deathstrike healing and necrotic strike back from being held hostage in a past failed expansion. If rets can crit for 20k WOG post nerf and shamans can insta LoH, then dks should be able to deathstrike heal for atleast 5k.

Agree. My paladin is also using Final Reckon talent. wings then Final reckon then Wake of Ashes for super burst.
5% isnât going to fix frost, our only hope is they make some sweet legendary that saves the spec
