I think that it would be great, if the new talent trees in the new expansion would allow to make a Blood DK, that would be less tanky, but would crit harder with Death Strike.
In WOTLK classic, Blood DK is the single thing I am looking forward to the most. OG Rune Tap felt so good to play for example and the Dancing Rune Weapon really did significant amounts of damage back in the days.
If Blood DK could be at least semi-viable as a DPS in future, it would be so great, especially for PvP and world content. Blizz please make it happen!
They have the opportunity to do it, question is if they will or not.
The new Talent Tree allows the chance to give us the 3 presence back, and every dk gets to choose which one (blood for tanking, Frost for pure damage, unholy for haste). Though it could be a bit difficult to balance, but least they could do is try to give blood a dps option.
It’s possible i guess but i see some potential issues where a tank blood dk would share a spec tree with a dps blood. There is a reason feral druid got split into feral and guardian.
It would give tank blood dk the potential to have much more dps than their tank peers.
Not impossible maybe but it would be really hard to balance.
I was thinking about it as well, but on the other hand, especially when you are in PvP, prot paladins can be sometimes just considered as healers, resto druids can kill you with a single convoke, they can go for feral affinity. Additionaly ferals, rets and enha shams can do crazy amounts of healing in the arenas. It’s a crazy world out there
I can imagine, than in raids for example, hybrids might not be that viable, but in PvP or world content it is another story in my opinion.
