This spec always feels neglected by Blizzard and I have to ask if any of the Devs play this spec or even care about it? Outside of Cooldowns we do no sustained damage; we are very weak. Even in AoE situations we feel really bad which is where I feel we should excel.
Even our Torghast powers feel bad. All of the DK powers look like they were made for Blood or Unholy. Where are the powers that effect obliterate, remorseless winter, literally ANY Frost baseline ability.
The spec just feels bad and forgotten about. We were looking good going into pre-patch but we had Obliterate, Pillar of Frost, and Might of the Frozen Wastes nerfed.
My suggestions:
-
Increase Obliterate damage.
OR
-
Might of the Frozen Wastes buff.
OR
-
Revert the Pillar of Frost nerf. Return it to a 30 second CD and a 15 second up time. Right now it doesnât meld very well with the rest of our spec. 45 seconds feels really clunky.
I would really love to hear other ideas and opinions or maybe even developer insight. Seeing other classes and specs excel right now really makes us Frost DKs want to swap.

yeah agreed tho Pof with a 30 cd would be bonkers like wraith bonkers 45 sec or 1 min is ok
oblit, FS, frstsy need a boost
do we need inex assault with rank 2 km now
some defence would be nice like blood pres baked into vet

I seem to be having a very different experience from you. I am actively playing 2H unholy and DW frost. I have to say both are very enjoyable for WQ/Mythics/Torg as the abilities are fun for both specs are fun.
I have seen multiple videos on DK players claiming that you should only pick certain talents and that some talents are garbage⊠I found that opinion to be hyperbolic since people play different content with different gear and different states of the game (fresh 60 vs geared from mythics). Being low on secondary stats at the beginning of expansions can starve resources that enable rotations and dps. I encourage you to experiment with different talents that can make up for giving you more resources/procs. Potency conduits also add a huge difference in gameplay. âEverfrostâ as an example amplifies âremorseless winterâ which as you know is a very short cooldown and only requires spending runes to make it stack with âgather stormâ talent.
I would have to disagree with Torghast not having unique frost animas. Have you tried the icy chains cleaving 50% damage + chains of ice being applied to multiple targets + the âcold heartâ talent? Remember that you can change specs/talents in the rested vendor areas of torghast to adapt to which animas you receive.
If I recall PoF is on a 1min cooldown now instead of the 45sec you are referring toâŠ
im not getting any of those. i get crit, haste, mastery increase and mawrat powers AL 1 sec increase for every rune i spend. fire/shadow damage rng proc on attack
Inexorable Assault is not an Obliterate damage boost, nor does it interact with KM. Its its own damage like avalanche it just works off of Obliterate instead.
My wife and I ran a buddy through some catchup torghast runs and we had a boss on the first pull with no anima powers to fight em. We wiped so much and decided to reset the run and the next one was completely different (I forgot which wing). How many times have you run torghast? We ran it at least 15 times.
We are all at the mercy of whatever formula is being used to generate the runs.
after the story stuff 3 times each time i got an increase in gear. found it easier at 172, but those shades seem to melt my hp
marg whatever wing
and we are back up n running good luck peeps lets see if the maintenance messed up the hamster wheel
