No news about frost dks in the update. This is getting depressing.
This class is so outdated, it’s clunky, it’s living in 2009 while everyone is living in the future. It has 0 viable sustain. Do you wanna heal? Sure sacrifice all of your dps and 2 globals before you can use death strike. Death pact? 30% heal absorb. Magic shell is the only decent defensive which is only against casters, after that you’re dead. Let’s not even mention fortitude, that talent is a joke, people eat through that damage reduction like nothing.
Let’s look instead at the huge disparity between classes. Ret paladins have bubble, bop, shield of vengeance, flash of heal, world of glory, lay on hands, and other passive stuff as well. Plus blizzard made it a caster hybrid making it incredibly overpowered. Comparing frost dks vs ret paladins in terms of class design is like comparing a fart vs a hurricane.
Please blizzard, Frost dk is basically the Arthas lich king class fantasy and yet is has the worst gameplay of all. Get rid of the runic power and runes, rework them. It’s ridiculous that in 2024 you have so much downtime between abilities. Am I playing retail or classic? Also the new Df abilities just look plain and don’t feel good to use at all. Chill streak is just a snowflake jumping around and frostschythe and glacial advance have very minimal animation work, they look like the most basic ability I’ve ever seen. Where is the class fantasy?
Also please stop making everything RNG. Why is every way to get a rune or runic power rng related? Frost strike 20% to get rune, other talents i don’t remember the name are the same, do this to have a chance to get a rune. RNG RNG RNG RNG. Howling blast proc? RNG. Even the tier set being rng made me just not wanna get it, it’s just so dull. Especially when you get nothing and you’re just standing there.
