Somehow Frost DK got nerfed again, even though it is the worst performing spec in PvP

Class Tuning Incoming – January 24 - General Discussion - US - Blue Tracker - World of Warcraft (wowhead.com)

  • Enfeeble’s enemy damage reduction against the Death Knight is now reduced by 33% in PvP Combat.
  • Rune of Spellwarding’s absorb shield is now 33% effective in PvP Combat.
  • Rune of Spellwarding’s cast speed reduction is now 33% effective in PvP Combat.

So many new changes but somehow they forgot Frost DK as usual. Looking at Solo Shuffle ratings, Boomkin, Fury and Frost DK are currently the 3 worst performing specializations. Meanwhile, Boomkin and Fury got multiple huge buffs and Frost DK was nerfed again. Simply because Unholy DK is overperforming and they can’t differentiate between the 2 specializations when dishing out nerfs. What is going on?

They don’t have to worry about nerfs, Frost DK biggest threat is global warming

Death Strike healing 23k instead of 18k really won’t do much. Especially when they effectively deleted Spellwarden, by reducing it to 33% effectiveness. No sane person will pick it after those nerfs.

Spellwarden was our strongest defensive (by a mile), also vs Melees, as a big part of the current melee toolkit includes a ton of magic damage.

forst dk plays like it has 300ms. why all the abilities you press are so slow, even with haste???

aside from that, i dont think frost is weak. the cds and cc is strong it just is pretty prrdictable and counterable but how you want to change that.

2 grips, 1 aoe grip, 1 stun, 2 aoe stun, 1 silence, 1 aoe disorient
2 anti magic cds, 1 stun immunity, 1 other immunity, 3 options to heal
100k+ crits every other cd, massive aoe dmg

yeah dks super weak. they just dont fit into this meta right now. main issue is that it plays like chewing gum for whatever reason
