Is Frost Dk great Again?

That is true, but they might decide to nerf ive cap into the ground, or buff breath of sindragosa so it blatantly outshines. I’ll reserve my final judgement for when we are near the end of beta or in 9.0.

Not trying to be pessimistic, just trying to be realistic.

Lightburn? I find paladins reassuringly easy to stay alive. my former DK Goblin (grew irritated of the male brox voice, so he went deleted), couldn’t survive a rainstorm in Zandalar, but my paladins are whomping everything they see.

Don’t get my wrong i love my ret paladin but if i had to choose between 2 handers spec classes will choose frost 2hander over my ret plus i don’t have time like i used to to many games i want to play soon lol!After beating Doom eternal i noticed i miss new games by now.

Stand-alone games used to be nice. Too bad everything’s attached to a service now :confused:

Yeah sadly not to many of those around but it’s cool when i find some that way.

Abilities, sure, but when you have weapon choice it will end up being that one is better than the other, and the people who prefer the other option (aka people whose transmog uses the opposing model) will complain.

Yes trump has bailed them out.

I leveled 4 Death Knights over the past 3 weeks. 2 of them frost, 1 blood and 1 unholy. I found the frost guys a lot easier to play.

I don’t prefer Breath build but being that it’s the best for M+ I still use it.

2H Frost is great but I’m wondering if we’re gonna see the big Obliterates again or if it’ll be an aesthetic change only.

I noticed in the Alpha that the animations for Frost Strike and Obliterate for 2H Frost are the same exact animations that Dual Wield has.

So, I’d like it if 2H got a different animation for Frost Strike because it looks silly.

That’s really what my concern is. I don’t do anything too crazy so a small difference wouldn’t really impact me but if memory serves they were ever only balanced at either a a very particular gear level and got wildly imbalanced the further you got from that gear point.

I think that having options like 2H vs DW is good but, as far as I’m aware, they haven’t really said anything about why (or if, I guess) they think they’ll be able to keep them relatively balanced when they never could in the past.

Ah! That makes sense. lol

Actually… :smirk:

I’m hoping blizz will look at this post.

I like bos build prolly because that is where a lot of dps comes from. The Vent covenant looks like it is perfect for the breath build.

Frost dks are a good spec right now but ig you mean in terms of feel? Some gcd changes and shifting more damage to obliterate.

Let me tank again

DW still supreme with two runes.

I’m stoked to play Frost 2H. I can’t wait!

Agreed.

Too early to say. There are a few directions they could take frost, but I dont think this current iteration, or the iteration on the Alpha right now, are super turbo amazing. Honestly not a lot is really changing. It’s going to be better than it is now, but honestly the new tools look fairly marginal, and don’t forget we’re losing Azerite. There are a few Azerite traits and Essences I’m worried about losing, specificially regarding resource generation. Losing Lucid Dreams and Visions of Perfection cut Frost’s resrouce generation down pretty hard, which could be really rough because Frost can be absurdly slow at the start of an expansion. Blizz needs to increase resource generation to compensate for Essences, and I’m unsure if they have.

2h frost is really neat thematically (Halls of Reflection LK is the definitive Frost DK, and now we can play it), but based on the datamining we have, it doesn’t look like it’ll be worth dropping a rune slot for, which is unfortunate. 2h frost needs more tuning passes if it wants to be a real spec.
