I know many posts have been made about this topic, just wanna get my word out there as well. I have mained my frost dk since MoP. And i remmber when in the being of MoP i made my dk, i just loved welding my 2h it felt so good killing and striking enemies down, just to lose my beautifull 2h in WoD. My question is now to the Dev Team, did any frost dk ever ask for this change? i know i diden’t!
Why change something that everyone loved.
Please concider bringing it back.
Bring 2h back for sure!! … And Presences BACK pls, I really like to be able to tank as any spec. Or at least have an option like unholy presence give me movement speed+ and haste, Blood presence stam+armor, frost dmg+ ?? Or something like that
Tbh I think the concept was to reduce it to 1 for balance sake as one of these play styles inevitably sucked every time, and generally it was 2handed. Lots loved it… but it was a severe dps loss to wield a 2handed unless it was something absurd like 20 ilevel s to your 2 1handers.
We didn’t rly ever have 2handed on frost DK, we just had some playstyle people tried to make work but ended in handicapping they player as it just was less dps.
I dunno why they didn’t just have a vote on which to keep and which to cut, it seems like it woulda been the easiest way to appease the majority
I think the issues do arise here though, 2handed frost was quite a dps loss to actually use and was a easy trap for players to fall into. It also required third party addons to figure out at what point a 2handed did more dps.
I feel both shouldn’t come back. There was a lot of people who ended up doing low dps because of this, any serious DK would have been with DW. Because of how much stronger it was then 2handed. And in this day and age the quantity of content you’d be kicked from for it would be ridiculous.
M+ and more would not accept 2handed frost by far
Just hold a vote on which one should be the one put on frost… atleast this way it’s far and gives everyone the chance to decide what they want.
And while you are right, no DK asked to lose 2handed, there were a lot of DKs annoyed at being subpar to the DW playstyle. And it did drive in even more balancing concerns/complaints.
Dual Wield was always against class fantasy… We are slow, unstoppable juggernauts. Having a spec that is a poster child of DK… That got ‘Frostmourne’ and that was trained by Amal’Thazad (that is a Frost trainer yet he call all specs 'apprentice’) handicapped like that is strange. Not only Arthas mainly used Frost but Bolvar as well… all his abilities in cinematic were FROST and ofcourse he was a a juggernaut with two-hander.
We? We are faster than rogues when it comes to attack speed and we are using two swords just like rogues as well. What the…
Give us Two Two-Handers like Fury if you want diversity (slower attack speed but bigger punch). And bring back Army of the Dead for everyone
