These are just some ideas I gathered that should make Frost DK viable and more fun to play in a PvP environment.
-Shattering Blade deals 125% dmg and applies a MS effect or deals 25% additional dmg when targets health is under 35% (one of the two only) or KM proc applies a MS effect instead of Shattering Blade
-Might of the Frozen Wastes should be baseline. Talent tree replacement: deal 15% more Oblitirate dmg on targets below 30% health
-Pillar of Frost should be baseline. Talent tree replacement: either 2 charges of Pillar of Frost with higher CD or Disarm immunity (but it should give 5-10% less strengh to make it a bit fair) It is extremely frustrating when our burst gets shut down so easily with just one ability
-Glacial Advance rework: Roots everyone in a cone or semicircle in front of you for 3-5 sec and apllies razorice on every target hit (10-20 sec CD) dmg does not break the root (like priest root) it fits the FROST theme and the ability finally has some use
-Breath of Sindragosa should be removed or reworked. Reworked version: you now “channel cast” or “charge” it like evokers do with some of their abilities. It has a 20-40 sec cooldown dealing dmg in a cone or semicircle and all enemies hit
are slowed for 50% for 6 sec. You spend RP (50 RP at most) and the longer you charge it the more dmg it deals.
-Frostreaper should be baseline
-Icebreaker should deal 80% dmg instead of 60%. We need more sustain dmg outside of Pillar of Frost. We are basically useless outside of our CDs.
-More active healing (DS nerfs reverted for Frost only)
-Rework Permafrost or replace it with something usefull
-KM proc can stack 2 times (not necessary imo)
-Inexorable Assault should be a guaranteed crit with KM proc. Instead of charges we should get one charge when we use a rime proc, use Frost Strike or Soulreaper (1stack at a time)
-Unleashed Frenzy stack fall off after 7-8 sec (not a necessary change)
-Cold Heart boring to use. Rework or replace it.
-Horn of Winter shoud not be on the GCD and maybe buffs group members (5% haste or mastery buff maybe?)
-Bonegrinder should require at most 3 stacks or make rime proc apply stacks as well. Also its extremely buggy! Sometimes you don´t get a stack at all making it impossibble to proc
-Remove Spellwarden (PvP Talent) (extremely toxic for the game as a whole)
-Remove Shroud of Winter (PvP Talent) or rework the spell (has literally zero use)
-Soulreaper should deal instant dmg when under 10-15% health (like an execute) and proc KM during Oblitiration
Currently it`s extremely frutrating to play Frost DK in PvP and I want to give the devs an idea what they could change to make the Frost DK expirience a bit better. Maybe some changes I listed are liked by the PvE community as well.
I would like to hear what you guys think about everthing I have listed above. Maybe you want to add some changes or maybe not even change some abilities at all.
