PvP Frost DK’s are losing 32.5% Obliterate dmg in an indirect nerf in 10.1

So we’re losing 25% Obliterate damage from the PvP Crit Nerf and then on top of that we’re also losing our 2pc tier set from this season which gives us about 7.5% extra damage on our obliterates.

call me crazy but i dont think frost dk is that good in arena right now, some would say it is very underrepresented in both high and low mmr. wow i wonder what a 32.5% nerf to our main damaging ability will do to that kind of spec.

so far shadow priest which is pretty good in pvp just got it’s 2nd rework meanwhile frost dk which is a spec that barely functions in pvp purely off of a 1 minute one shot gimmick, just got nerfed and as a compensation we received something even more gimmicky from our new 4pc tier set!

10.1 frost dk looks miserable to play in pvp

good… you get a braindead setup that even a pidgeon could do… grip, blind, grippy hands drool while doing 100+k obliterates back to back with blanket silence… i show no sympathy for your class… i hope it gets gutted.

yeah because they’re discussing it. You’re posting for feedbacks or buffs.

no one is going to discuss frost dk with you because 99% of these forums are casters that hate melee and want all melee to be gutted.

but yeah guess im fried

Good. Let me press stun & strang and kill someone 100 to 0. No thanks.

people like u are so ignorant lmao at least there is counterplay to frost’s damage and setup.

but fine be like that, have another season of unholy meta and uncounterable and unhealable pressure from 10 different pet nameplates that u can’t kite and going oom in less than 2 minutes no matter what player is controlling the unholy dk.

I just turn all the nonsense name plates off. I don’t need to see that stuff. I got eyes I can use haha. & yeah because it’s toxic when a dk stuns someone you trinket into a strang and die. You’re forced to sit the stun drop to 50% then get silenced & then you’re basically like 2-4 global behind. Yeah nerf any one shots like that where’s it’s two buttons.

most healers have buttons they can use while stunned (holy priest, disc priest, mistweaver, hpal, evoker) the ones that dont have buttons they can use while silenced (RSHAM/HPAL/EVOKER). and even if u couldnt use anything while stunned or silence, u have a trinket and u also have teammates who can peel for u with external defensives or cc’s.

also maybe u lose to frost dk’s so much becasue ur waiting to trinket the silence, most good healers trinket the stun and follow it up with a strong defensive CD before the silence hits, if ur getting silenced before pressing ur defensive CD then u are just a slow old man.

If you think a wall is going to save you in this meta from a stun plus silence you’re silly bro. Lol

Frost DK should never be viable. Play Unholy or reroll.

This is honestly a meta issue with tier sets. We should not be subject to reliance on set gear designed for pve.

A lot of the tiers are getting replaced by new ones. So the meta will shift quickly & a lot of classes won’t be strong as they were in this season. I think the only bad tier I see in changes is Evoker because of the instant living flames from reversion. That class feels clunky without instant living flames.

the frost dk one sucks and if u think frost dks are annoying rn well the new tier set actually incentivizes an even more gimmicky one shot playstyle by stacking something up to 15 stacks as like a cheese nuke afterwards. its really bad for the spec and will probably feel lame to play against too

Do you taste good with soy sauce?
