So Occulus = greater priority than dk pvp.

Unless the korean patch notes are incomplete, or unless blizzards official korean website is not considered official............

The last balance patch of WotLK is going live with NOTHING for pvp dks.

Keep in mind our main strike was nerfed into the ground for pvp in 3.3 when we were already the worst class in gladiator level arena.

But that and the enormous amount of statistics, the massive amount of feedback thats been flooding through since long before 3.3 was even off the ptr, the massive amounts of constructive suggestions for how dks could be touched up for pvp without even changing scourge strike or buffing pve dps........

All of this was insignificant. Because for months Occulus has needed more buffs than pvp dks. Occulus QQ gets more attention, more hotfixes, and more blue poster feedback than a class that has been suffering in pvp since this summer, but was still somewhat workable until they decided that dks were still too OP being in last place with only one viable pvp spec. That spec needed to be ruined for pvp to give us a 2nd viable pve spec.

Primiez, what did you say about having plenty of pitchforks and rotten tomatoes ready if their were no dk pvp balance changes scheduled before cataclysm? It's time to get em out and go to town.

I really wonder what the hell GC's team is smoking that they think this will be ok. The only possible way this is going to work out fine is if the bryntoll proc is available on 2h s8 weapons.

There have been a lot of these kinds of posts lately. Yes, we appreciate feedback and statistics. We really do. Please don't confuse that with thinking that if you somehow bury us under forum posts and data that we will get beaten down and make the change you want.

I shouldn't need to point out the silliness of trying to somehow infer our design priority based on analysis of patch notes. One of our big goals is to make WoW more approachable for new players. Does that mean we shouldn't implement anything else until all of those tasks are done? Do you see the problem with that logic?
