Frost dk's left in the dust?

#0 - Jan. 9, 2010, 8:14 p.m.

I really just have a simple question. Why have frost dk's been left in the dust? does blizzard intend to have frost do far less dps than both blood and unholy or is this a sad side affect of the new patch?

In other words does blizz think frost dps is fine where its at atm?

I love playing frost but as low as the dps is i just can't stand it, i know frost dps hasn't been included in the hot fix and all but will frost just stay as low as it is right now?

I avoided posting in this thread for a long time to avoid derailing it because it was remarkably constructive and showed a remarkable restraint for QQ overall. I don't want to derail it now, so I'm just going to say a few words and get back out.

We realize there are still some things that need to be fixed in the tree. The Icy Talons chain of talents feels pretty expensive. Killing Machine can be hard to use. Stuff like that. I can't promise we'll get all of that taken care of quickly, but we'll get it taken care of eventually.

I don't recall us buffing the Gylph of Obliterate from 20% to 25% as has been reported. It's possible I just forgot or there may be something else going on. I will investigate more next week.

As I suspected, we did not buff the Glyph of Obliterate. We made a tooltip correction since players tend to always get confused (and understandably so) between additive and multiplicative bonuses. We only changed the tooltip. Damage did not change.
