MS effect for DK?

Classes Death Knight

In guild today people were talking about watching someone’s stream. They said they saw a new rune added in this pass that applies the ms effect like warriors.
Anyone know anything about this?

It’s rune of apocalypse and it applies a healing reduction effect to your ghoul’s claw attack, as well as other effects. It used to be a gold artifact trait I believe in Apocalypse, the unholy artifact weapon in Legion. It now is a runeforge and competes with fallen crusader.

This has been added so far, is it one of those?

  • Rune of Hysteria : Affixes your rune weapon with a rune that increases maximum Runic Power by 20 and your attacks have a chance to increase Runic Power generation by 20% for 8 sec.
  • Rune of Sanguination : Affixes your rune weapon with a rune that causes your Death Strike to deal increased damage, based on the target’s missing health. When you fall below 35% health, you heal for 48% of your maximum health over 8 sec.
  • Rune of Spellwarding : Affixes your rune weapon with a rune that deflects 3% of all spell damage and has chance to create a shield that absorbs magic damage equal to 10% of your maximum health. When an enemy damages the shield, their cast speed is reduced by 10% for 6 sec.
  • Rune of the Apocalypse : Affixes your rune weapon with a rune that gives your ghoul’s attacks a chance to apply one of the following debuffs to the target:
    • Death : Reduces healing taken by 1%;
    • War : Increases damage taken by 1%;
    • Famine : Reduces damage done to the Death Knight by 2%;
    • Pestilence : Slows the target by 15% and deals 150 Shadow damage over time.
  • Rune of Unending Thirst : Affixes your rune weapon with a rune that grants 10% Haste and movement speed and heals you for 5% of your maximum health when you kill an enemy that yields experience or Honor. Additionally, increases your movement speed while dead by 10%.

does the MS effect (and others in that runeforge) stack?

Theres some way to spec your ghoul to have his Claw inflict debuffs
the debuffs are

Famine.
Pestilence.
uhh other horseman themes.

Theyre relatively tiny debuffs.
like target deals 1% less damage to the DK
or Target takes 1% increases damage from the DK.
i beleive famine is the one that reduces healing received by 3%

No, but I did see that DH’s are getting one.

Apparently there was one ability that DH’s did not have, so they fixed that. Thank goodness, it would be a shame if there was something a DH couldn’t do.
