PTR 3.22 for DPS and Tanks bears some good news.
Tanks can now consider unholy and frost as proper equals to blood tanks. Unbreakable Armour being one minute and buffed to +armour again makes it mathematically similar to the damage reduction of bone shield. I expect UA duration to be put to 15s down from current PTR 20 seconds to balance it out, sine Bone Shield is now 3 charges (+1 from glyph) on PTR and Vampiric Blood is 10s (+5s from glyph).
I did some analysis on Unholy tank builds in …

Others might know him from maintankadin and tankspot forums, but to my mind he’s a dk.info man! :)

Repair-cost reduction is shown in the photo. That will help with guild income/expense management.
Cold Comfort is writing a series on these changes with his overview and part one published already. He provided a link to the gallery of photos from this panel, and …
