So, playing Blood DK and off speccing in Frost DK, its dawned on me, that I don’t think Deathbringer is great concept wise for Blood DK. (This isn’t about what is strongest, just hear me out)
I think Blood DK should have had the San’layn and the Riders trees available, (basically swap unholy and blood). The idea that the Riders come in and help tank, while giving blood DK more mobility would have really shored up some of the weaknesses of Blood DK. You could tie it to DRW, just like they do with Army of the Dead. They would have to tweak some of the skills, but Just don’t know that Deathbringer is ultimately right for a tank.
I think this also helps with Unholy, giving them another “DPS” hero tree, its generally a buff, but doesn’t really add much to them.
I know it might be dumb, but thought it would be cool to see my Blood DK Tanking from horseback.
