pretty simple if blizzard put frost dk with 2 hands you have to choose what runicforge you want, the fallen crusade will be like meta but if they are smart enough can make all 3 runic forges competitive in pve, allowing to have different builds based on the runicforge you choose.

Still don’t understand why the changed Frost to duel wield…so lame and does not fit with the Death Knight Fantasy.

Just change the dam abilities then, small price to pay to get 2H back.

Cosmetic would have a half attempt…the fantasy is a two-handed rune weapon dealing big numbers with Obliterate. Those two components are what made Frost so much fun to play irrespective of how competitive the spec was at any given time.
Blizzard keeps adding all these new flashy abilities when they are not even really wanted. Go back to basics and get the foundation of what Frost DK’s were about right first IMO.

Basics is all were asking for just bring back two hands and obliterate its not that hard to ask for.

Exactly, its really strange the developers have been looking the other way on this. It would make so many DK players happy…

was not only that was the AMBIDEXTERITY trait from our old traits of artifact weapon it was 50% increase the dmg of offhand frost strike and offhand obliterate base… 65% with 3 relics and those were bis, if they increase dmg of frost strike and obliterate offhand- by 50% exchange AMBIDEXTERITY with talent ICECAP …and in the ptr i tested it, machine gun build can be back if they do the exchange, i placed post talking about it in the dk thread you could deal lots of dmg sustain 30k dps for 405 dk this artifact latent chill and killer frost azurite traits buffing your frost strike dmg increase the dmg decent you actually have to be real machine gun always low on ammo deal and increment of dmg like lower amount of runes increase your dmg,witch make more versatility to play but ofc will be an easy class to play.

Yes, but as i pointed out earlier in this thread, i would like nothing more than getting 2h frost back, with the BIG obliterate numbers we all know and love. The reason i wrote “at least cosmetic” is for all the guys who actually like DW. They would probably get mad if dw was scrapepd for 2h, just like we got mad when 2h got scrapped for dw. I am not a dev by any means, and if they were to make frost 2h again, some mechanical changes probably has to happen as well. Therefore maybe a cosmetic option would be the EASIER one. Let there be no doubt tho my friend, personally i would like nothing more than carrying the Greatsword of the Ebon Blade and hit HARD again.
( I am norwegian so if i struggle to get my point across or english generally is bad, that is why. im sorry)

i love the dual wield DK. I always have. If they brought back 2h frost and eliminated dw, i would be on the line of the ones disappointed.
However, if they kept it either way, DW or 2H, and just got rid of the silly weapon/attack requirements, i wouldnt complain.

Cost changed from 0 Runic Power, plus 15 per sec to 0 Runic Power, plus 18 per sec
we literally just got a Nerf again… WTF https://www.wowhead.com/news=291374/8-2-ptr-build-30168-class-changes-and-preamble-veng-dh-guardian-druid-frost-dk-b
" Each Runic Power you spend has a 2.0% chance to instantly grant you a Rune, " BUFFS LMAO thanks Blizzard, we must keep this going. up from a 1.5% … LOL

you might have missed Frost
- Breath of Sindragosa now has a 50% increased chance to activate Runic Empowerment.
they increased the cost but doubled the chance to generate runes per tick. overall its a net buff to the ability
currently frost strike gives a 37.5% chance to generate a rune with the buff that boosts it to 50%. that is an enormous buff to resource generation over the course of a fight.
both of those changes deal with a major problem frost has dealt with since the loss of its artifact traits being the large deadspots in rotation.

Literally just replying to keep this going.
I dont see why they just dont make a 4th spec like druids got and call DW something else?

hell yeah lich king fantasy blizz! do it! do 2 handers!

because the 2 are not remotely comparable. druids had 2 different specs with different cds, appearnce, and abilities sharing a talent tree.
we would just end up with 2 frost specs that do exactly the same thing with the only difference being the weapons you swing.

Arthas was not frost. He was Unholy. His greatest strength was his ability to raise a massive army of undead. To create extremely strong undead quickly and without any incantation or ritual, from Death Knights to the undead dragon Sindragossa.

hahahhaha unholy bias
Arthas was Multi spec

npcs dont have specs as that is a player balancing mechanic. npcs tend to dip from all abilities a class may have.
thrall for example is a shaman but displays abilities used by both elemental and enhance in ways players are not capable of doing.
same with Arthas though i would tend to agree that he leaned heavily towards unholy if you were to pin any singular spec on him

I bet you would say that doomhammer was a 1 handed weapon
1 Like
canonically it is a one handed weapon
when thrall has used it in cutscenes he has alternated between using both hands and single handed but once again npcs are not limited by player balancing mechanics like we are.
when enhancement shamans got doomhammer as their artifact last expansion it is classified as the main hand weapon and they only dual wield.
so yes it is a one handed weapon

Yeah that sool isn’t going to stop blizzard from listening to them because pretty sure that is exactly why the game is how it’s been.
Quite a few posts I’ve seen of people complaining about how blizzard listens to only a few on what would be good for any particular class.
