Bye Bye DK tanking. Without a shield, we’re no longer viable now that IBF and boneshield have been nerfed.

Unholy dpsing you’ve been a good friend…RIP

I can’t wait for duel spec, and Im mad they are reducing the damage boneshield reduces, that spell is beast IMO. Unholy DK’s for PvP is my faveriote, I have most fun with it but with the DK having its mitigation buff nerfed makes it harder to get your 2-6 dots on target and scourge strike them before ur shield is down and ur taking mad damage. But for the most part I dont think this patch is really nerfing much but more so giving mad buffs to Blood and especially Frost.

@Lithium
Dual specs will be in the content patch, not the incoming patch. This was posted by a blue somewhere, but since I can’t cite my source (can’t access WoW forums at work), don’t quote me on it.

Anyone know the word about dual-specs? Is that coming too or is that going to be in the content patch?

I love this patch! I can hardly wait!

# Horn of Winter now has no cost and grants 10 runic power in addition to its stat buff, but has a 20 second cooldown.

# Howling Blast: Cooldown removed.

# Pestilence no longer has a 10 seconds cooldown.

# Glyph of Horn of Winter now increases the duration by 60 sec.

# Death Chill: The effect from this talent will no longer be consumed if Killing Machine is active.

Some good, some bad… But not as much nerfs in total as I expected… But we aint there yet :( Like the deathchill change though, always when I pop it KM seems to proc just before :P

@ Eric
I think the glyph of frost strike is changed to reduce cost…

Some good changes, some bad changes (or rather, changes I’m not a fan of such as glyph of DnD).

Will be interesting to see how this affects things.

I thought I read somewhere that the RP cost of frost strike would be reduced slightly? Guess not :(

Can’t wait for dual spec. DK talent trees are so schizophrenic, I need 2 different specs just to get the level of performance I want out of the class.

Or I could look at it a different way by saying DK has so many awesome abilities that one spec is just not enough :)

I keep hearing people say that Mark of Blood is beind reduced to 20 charges opposed to its current state, though I never see anything about it in the patch notes.

Is there validity in this?
