After years of maining this guy I gave up on him bfa (for me) is not a good expansion to be a frost dk the obliteration build is gone all mobility in a fight is gone and our dps is laughable.
I was really really holding out hope though for some fixes to the class in bfa so we would be powerhouses again and fun to play again. But it shows my naivety in Legion blizzard messed us up but they fixed us so I thought yeah maybe in a later patch we would be fixed in bfa because of those fixes made to the spec in Legion.
The only changes to the spec is the continual force feeding of the bos build not a single word about obliteration no stat priority changes nothing just makes me so upset I loved my frost dk and blizz have ruined him.
WoW’s balance team and class designers are one the most incompetent ones I’ve ever seen when compared to like Starcraft and Heroes of the Storm tbh.
Class designers don’t play the classes they design. Pretty much every dps class is about building your bar with weak abilities and using that bar for strong ones. Then they add tiny bits of rng to them so that you can’t do the rotation by a one button macro alone.
Balance team makes you really wonder, what in the world are they doing when 60% of your talent tree consists of dead talents? Are they busy gutting azerite traits by 40-70% nerfs?
Only a few math calculations could show that none of the talents in frost’s last tree can compete with Breath of Sindragosa in damage, but I think the balance team spends most of its time sleeping during their job or something…
Because they wanted to make classes/specs unique they removed BoS from all specs besides frost, now dont ask me why mages still have their iceblock allover.
But mages are mages right?
I understand uniqueness frost was very unique in Legion I just can’t stand what they’ve done do you think this is frost now? Are they leaving as like this?
You do not even need calculations to see that obliteration is effectively providing you with nothing at all, as is icecap.
They are in fact the equivilent of having no talent in that position, in essense they could remove breath and put nothing in that slot and it would still compete for dps with icecap and obliteration.
This is because of the spec basically needing crit to function so obliteration becomes nearly null but also having a large amount of RNG so icecap will never actually matter.
When further investigating the talent tree alone you will find multiple talents that are equivilent to having no talent selected on the frost death knight.
It takes a cunning team to create talents that are actually the same as having nothing but also have some members of the community legitimately believe that they are getting something, still it’s funny enough to just use them anyway for the sake of them being there.
Yeee i just learned about these “fixes” recently, i would very much like to sit down, completely civilized and unaggressive and just ask them… “why?”
Why do you force this? why doy ou double down? why do you refuse to even take the wisdom of old patches and expacs in how we have been? why must we suffer? why do you hate the class? why? why? why?
I’ve past the point of rage by now, been playing Frost since Wrath beta, two handed specifically so going into legion was a rollercoaster of feelings, buffs nerfs, the ever present BoS build rearing its ugly head, until i finally made my peace at the Argus patch when they finally managed to resemble something that it used to be, a spec meant to hit things with augmented weapon strikes, not breathe heavily for 30+ seconds…and then they just went back to things that didnt work in BfA, im still baffled, sad. angry. everything…but im so tired of it all. i am an advocate of the Two hand for frost even, Tmog. dual specs like ferals. anything. and i was at peace with what it had become at the end of legion, it felt good, obliterate was a feared attack, you chunked people with well timed buttonclicks, look at us now. look what they have done. and continue to do because they dont listen, have no clue and compassion for all the suffering we are going through.
I’ve played unholy when we had festerblight, our dots alone would match the average dpser’s output. I played the bos (ironic yes) build in hfc with legendary ring/maidens trinket when we’d tear apart competitors even with our ramp up missing half the legendary ring’s buff time. Dark arbiter in legion.
It’s far far worse to be able to remember how good your spec was, than to only know it’s current iteration.
Looks like I’m staying with my demo lock for the foreseeable future as much as I love this guy blizzard have pushed frost to the side, ignored the long time players and is forcing one build on us I wish they would listen to what we want.
They’ve taken so much from us over the years and now they push this joke of a talent so much that there must be some sort of plan behind it. that they even have the GALL to incorporate a new azerite essence in 8.2 that gives you crit increase and crit DMG while they removed our crit dmg passive on obliterate makes me furious “here have it back BUT OH everyone gets it now, be happy, you spoiled little DK”
just makes me so upset I loved my frost dk and blizz have ruined him.
