Because im not, Nothing changed in the slightest, And our class is still terrible
And aside from our awful damage, and our noodlestrikes, Our defensives are still garbage
Bloodforged armor is bad gameplay from Frost dks perspective, Mashing deathstrike every other GCD is very unfun, and crippling to our damage.
AMS is still super gutted over a talent that no longer exists.
Deathstrike is still gutted because of an interaction between 2 absorption effects, one of which no longer exists, And the other of which is gutted
WotN is still gutted
We still never got nearly any honor talent changes whatsoever despite being promised they would be looking at them in 10.1, I guess they got lazy and didnt want to do any legitimate work and fully expect you to continue throwing money in their direction for putting out a halfxxx effort
Rot and wither still exists (LOL)
Bitterchill still sucks, It could be made 10x better being a haste steal and interacting with proliferating chill, But i guess we dont pay enough money to warrant them putting brain power into their changes.
Dont worry guys, Shroud of winter received massive buffs with its fancy new picture it got this patch!~!11113311111 (seriously why does this talent exist again? can we just be rid of it, its a shell of an actually good talent called heartstop aura and im sick of looking at it)
I hope you guys LOVE spellwarden, You lost your most powerful defensive talent for a team AMS that lasts as long as a blink of an eye, While also only protecting from 1 measly attack before it explodes into nothingness
I could go on and on about the many garbage things our class is suffering through right now but im losing the ability to care. It genuinely just seems like the developers want DK players to just unsub and stop giving them money which is honestly so fine by me, I cant exactly say that i want anyone at that company to have the money theyre making at this point
Im tired of being fed literal fertilizer and paying monthly for it, just to receive 0 effort from these developers
And im sick of PvP being treated like its a mini game. If literally just half of the effort that goes into making all the lame pve stuff went into pvp, it would easily be the largest part of the game but its not surprising that its only a “mini game” when virtually no effort goes into making it actually good
Edit: Oh and right as i posted this, hotfixes went out for raids / mythic +

This is where your money is going, Just remember that. They would rather make weird and sometimes unnecessary changes to instances than they would paying attention to specs and classes that are grossly behind functionally, or numerically
They care more about these instances than they care about the classes we use to experience them
Theyd rather nerf healthpools of mobs in instances, than they would fixing the damage of certain specs to be more competitive which could have the same exact effect as nerfing healthpools on certain mobs
If youve been playing this game as long as i have, Im honestly sick of seeing sometimes meaningless changes in certain areas of the game as opposed to changes to make certain classes feel better or do better, It happens quite a lot and its very disgusting the amount of weeks that can go by without seeing class changes especially for specs that really need them. Im not sure why ive stayed subscribed to this game the last 5 years with the amount of neglect Frost has received. Let alone DK, Its always just some copium of “maybe next week we’ll see meaningful class changes” but that week never comes. Consistently now for the last 5 years the only buffs ive seen frost dk get are very small % buffs on abilities that already do virtually no damage at all. Or even worse absolutely INSANE and HUGE nerfs on abilities that didnt need it
Even if they do actually buff DK, Do you guys honestly expect them to not nerf it back into the dirt? Lets be real here, Because every single time DK ever gets to a point where it will be highly competitive or good, its gutted into the ground. The start of this expansion is a prime example of that, They preemptively gutted our class before the season even started, before the raid was even released. Before we got to play any legitimate content our class got gutted. They do this to us literally every single expansion it feels like so how much more of it are you going to deal with before enough is enough
