No idea why you insist on continuing to nerf Frost DK and BM Hunter, awful balancing decisions.

these nerf is like 0.30% or something like that sence they got buffed last time or something like that, i think critcake made a vid about it

This is literally the worst idea ive ever seen, when you nerf something into the ground do you ever thing how much time someone spends building that character up? the cost? the building of comps during a season? INSTEAD OF NERFING THE CLASS MAKE OTHERS STRONGER OR MORE COMPETITIVE. Have you not noticed that people are not enjoying the new m+ season? that dps output became way more important??? Ive been playing this game for years now. nerfing like this is just lazy and pisses off everyone who spend so much time building characters. I just did 1.25 overall on a 8 COT, 627 ilev and a 620 ilev dude almost parsed me. FIX THIS NOW

I will not let this thread close im setting a reminder every week to keep this open until its fixed. TERRIBLE

Uhm i don’t want to be rude … But really? … Look at the ladders and what classes dominate … Frost dk is again one of the worst … and they keep killing it … Buffed or nerfed in the past means nothing … We are talking about present time… Reaper got nerfed before to … And 22% … Is not a small amount … In pvp it will be felt hardly when you burst

I find it odd how it blanketed blood dk into it.
Thought they weren’t top of the tank dps right now? Did they really need more nerfs?

I’m Speechless yesterday I was confidently doing level 9/10 delves, me as Tank Brann as healer pulling small to mid sized groups…today can’t even do a level 7 any more than 2 mobs and its a wipe!!! just kept being wiped by 2 non caster - non elite standard mobs in a level 7 delve…nice way to kill it for non-raider or mythic players!

These changes are bad, you need to change them back

Frost mages got nerfed pretty big. Tried Spell Slinger and Frost Fire, but both specs are worse then before the patch. The buffs are gone and the splinterstorm isn’t doing enough.

Also noticed that Death Chill doesn’t work always in Icy Veins.
