So Blizz doesn't want DKs as MTs?

80-60% armor reduction?

Nerf fun much?

Awesome, and to top it off my JC profession is getting nerfed too.

When WotLK launched I had that little voice in the back of my head saying:

This is just a gimmick, they will take this all away eventually

Feeling like I should have listened :(

Right now we feel that the 80% armor bonus is too much and is pushing DKs past other tanks and trivializing some encounters. This change will bring things a little more in-line, but may not be enough by itself. We will have to wait until a bigger patch though to do a more thorough set of changes.

Q u o t e:

So were they wrong when they originally nerfed IBF and increased the armor from 60% to 80%

IBF is still in reduced form, and yet the armor is now being taken away.

Wasn't the armor put there because we took too much damage?

I don't really care but the changes you guys are making are beyond confusing for a DK tank. Please make some balance changes and leave us be... I'm tired of being changed every patch (Yes I know this patch doesn't nec change me).

As the newest class, Death Knights are a good three years behind in changes, so they will likely continue to be looked at a lot as we get them were we want them to be.

Q u o t e:
Can someone quote where this info is coming from? I've searched through patch notes and test realm patch notes and don't see anything.

We posted information on the upcoming patch 3.1.3 here last night: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=17367879766&sid=1

The information is not on the test realm forum as this patch will not be put on the PTRs.
