Frostwyrms Fury still nerfed by 70%. 5 years later

Soooo seeing that we keep the legendary effect Absoloute Zero in DF is nice because without it Frostwyrms Fury would be literally USELESS. Why?

Well because first off in pvp the damage (which isnt even that high compared to other abilities) is NERFED BY 66%.

Btw Monks can hit you for 26k rising sun kick on plate but our spell that would hit for 20k on a 5 min CD is a big no no.

And the 50% slow is pointless because well, I mean, we already have a infinite spam 70% slow and basically a passive 20% slow with R. Winter

Btw this is from Legion almost 3 expansions ago. ONLY way it is useful is that it is a crossmap aoe stun/slow and is technically probably the most OP stun for pvp. I’ve hit really good plays with it before but rarely.

If it actually did any damage though, it would be useful and would help FDK SO MUCH. But it’s struck with a 66% damage nerf… similar to:

Breath of Sindragosa: 70% nerf
Death Strike: 20% nerf
Fallen Crusader: 60% nerf
Coldheart: 66% nerf

AT THE VERY LEAST change it after 5 years to:

Deal full damage to your PRIMARY TARGET, and 50% reduced damage to secondary targets in PVP, stunning all targets hit

I really hate these PvP specific nerfs because firstly it’s not mentioned in the tooltips and secondly if one part of our kit is nerfed, they never bring the rest up to compensate.

So cool our class is designed to do X damage including this 3min cooldown. Oh you’ve nerfed it so now we only do Y damage, whilst other classes are still doing X.

Edit

Which brings me to another point, Unholy damage is designed around having an 8 min cooldown in their rotation, but you can’t use it in arena. That’s a big hole left in our damage.

It gets even worse for unholy pvp in df because you have to spend a talent point on army to get to other talents and its still not usable in pvp.

You’re dead right, that feels really bad that part of the Unholy tree. Having AotD as mandatory talent for Army of the Damned is not ideal for the PvP brethren or those who just don’t like it.
