Why does obliterate have to hit 5 times harder inside pillar windows than not. It makes balancing the spec so much harder in terms of abilities feeling good. Outside of pillar my oblit will hit around 10 k, 20k on a crit. Inside pillar im hitting 100k obliterates.
I would way rather take a healthy medium so oblierate doesnt tickle enemies and feel like complete garbage outside of windows. I really feel that wrath frost has the damage distribution of spells down with each spell actually feeling like it does damage. Howling blast feels good on killing machine and frost strike is also meaty. Obliterate just hits HARD no more when you press it.
Retail frost feels incredibly anemic and weak outside of its cds and needs insane amount stipulations in aoe to actually do damage. Obliterate should ALWAYS cleave not only in dnd. I know you wanted to make use of that node but it feels garbage for frost dk needing the DND set up to actually do damage in m+.
Obliterate is a builder, and should remain weak to use outside proc and cds
Froststrike is a spender, and should do quite a bit more damage for your sustain damage
Icecap should be unnerfed a bit to 3s
Pillar should last 15s and only give 10%-15% strength
those are what i personally think needs to be different
Frost strike does hit harder with shattering blade but it does not work very well with 2 hands and makes you spend another point. If FS actually hit hard the spec would definitely feel much better. I still maintain that the swing in damage is way too high between pillar and non pillar. It isn’t fun to have such a weak
ability and ret was just reworked with this in mind. Templar strikes feels WAY better than old crusader strike.
Shattering blade is a huge part why froststrike is noodlestrike outside cds and without the talent
Because it is, 25% increased ramping strength
plus 15% fallen crusader
plus 15% razorice
plus Badge/insignia 1000-1500 strength
It wouldnt be an issue if we could farm pillar back faster, which would mean unnerfing icecap a bit
Its not a builder spender thing, its a Frostreaper thing. Thats the reason.
we need more dmg outside of pillar.
been that way for some time.
