I had not played my dk since WotlK, he’s orc.
I had not tried frost, like ever really. Always been swapping between blood and unholy. But oh my I think I missed something… it’s just so fun. Every abilities feel great to execute. Not to mention you feel like if you were Arthas, pure cold damage. Once I reach 70 I think i want frostmourne. Cant decide if i want to main DK or Evoker now lol.
Maybe both so I get tank and Healer

Frost feels pretty good with the pre-patch changes but you werent missing much before. This is probably the best the spec has felt since pre-legion.

Weird thing, I haven’t played this guy serious since wod.(played him a lot). I got him the legendary axe but still hardly played him. Pre patch came out and 2h frost felt way worse to me anyway.
I respecced dw oblit and boom favorite class in the game. I was a huge 2h frost lover. I don’t know what happened.

It’s a DW designed spec; it should, in every scenario, be better than 2h, even if it’s just a single %.
It was already said above but you’re basically playing a good version of Frost rather than what existed during DF. If you played during DF, you probably wouldn’t have liked it or even actively hated it.

I enjoying my time this expansion. Also I like that we have will of. But I’d like toughness back and blood/spiked Armor.
I’d also like to see armor for vet while dps spec so we dont have to be sufficiently geared to take on tougher stuff while solo.
This expansion is best I’ve felt since wod

Frost is in a pretty good spot right now and very fun to play. Just being that grave chill fueled magic warrior is so good.
Do y’all just live to hate that someone has a playstyle you don’t like or something? Seriously, I’ve seen Buckeye fans who hate Michigan less then y’all hate the very existence of 2H frost. That drek ain’t healthy chummer.

I mean, for several xpacks 2H was punished so hard that DW was the only way to be able to play the spec. Things are more ballenced now, though it’d be nice if they actually addressed the auto attack speed procs rather then constantly trying to tweek damage numbers. Make the spec more weapon agnostic.

I haven’t touched DK since launch SL and everything I’m hearing make me wanna come back to Frost. I want to like the spec so much. The theme is right up my alley but actually playing it has been rough for awhile.
In a few weeks when TWW launches, give it a try. You can get geared with the pre-launch without much effort, and the worst that can happen is you still don’t like the playstyle.
This is the best Frost has felt in a very long time. It has multiple builds and weapon options. It gets even more fun once you unlock hero talents too. You chose a good time to run Frost Dk.

No, but you guys do hate that it’s a DW spec.
2h wasn’t punished, the spec was designed for DW from the start. This is the issue with your side of the isle. You just can’t handle the reality of the spec.
Arms was designed to use a 2h, marksman a bow, assassination daggers and Frost 2 1h weapons. Arms could DW but you don’t see people making stuff up to get DW arms back.
The reality is that DW should perform better than 2h. It’s marketed that way, the devs said it was DW, the design clearly points to DW. Just live with the reality that if you want to RP with a 2h you are going to perform worse.
My sister in shadow, that’s you. If 2H frost is ever mentioned you, or two or three others, will bust in like the Flavoraid Man practically frothing and screeching how you want 2H to go away forever so you can laugh at those who like it and rub their faces in drek. Meanwhile 2H folks don’t really care about DW, just wanting the weapon choice be agnostic. Even most DW’ers don’t seem to care, just you and a few weirdos.

That’s entirely wrong because what is said when people bring up 2h? Some revisionist history bs and when you guys get called out on the blatant lies you start the character assassination attempts.
Also, 2h people say DW should be removed, call the weapons toothpicks, say it should have never happened, say Blizzard hates DK because they removed 2h (for good reason) then act like just because you could do something then it should still be an option. If that’s the case where is DW arms? Arms could DW… So where is that option?
It’s also funny how you say 2h people don’t care but you lot are the FIRST to throw insults and derail threads. Like this one with you calling people weirdos.
I’m guessing you’re new to the DK forums because for the past 3~ years this hasn’t been remotely true.

Most posters here are 2 camps: remove 2H or remove DW
Honestly, keep both and adjust accordingly. It’s a RPG at the end of the day.

This 100%. I wish they would make Frost only drop DW weapons though so gearing is easier. Can set UH for 2h. Easy solution.

You have to remember that the number of people posting on these forums is extremely small and even smaller when you filter out the common trolls. Most people just want to play their preferred DK aesthetic and aren’t so petty to go out of their way in advocating for the removal of something that others enjoy.
Don’t forget about the Runeforge disparity as well, I made a very similar post about this not too long ago actually. But yah if they get those 2 things sorted the difference will be very small and should allow Frost to be weapon agnostic.
There isn’t a runeforge disparity. 2h technically has 3 runeforges going on 2 of which they don’t have to apply.
FC on the weapon
RI through talents
MotFW which is it’s second runeforge.
So there is not a runeforge disparity when it comes to 2h and in reality there is a disparity when it comes to DW Obliteration since it only has 2 runeforges.
If 2h is still behind with having all that along with an easier time getting a weapon and 100% KM proc chance on auto attack crits then it goes to show that 2h isn’t going to ever measure up without serious help.
Oh I know, it’s pretty much just a handful of weird little guys screaming for it. Most of the times I’ve seen talk of getting rid of DW it’s people frustrated or just baiting those people.
While something to think about, not sure how big a deal this would end up. We are one of the few specs in the game that can end up with either 1 or 2 weapon enchants, while most are set on them. Some of our rune enchants are built with 2Hers in mind and could expand the rest out to that.
At this point though, the runes have been so static I’d love to see either a bunch of new runes with a variety of flavors, or the current runes rolled into talents and we just get the same enchants as everyone else.
