Change DK's "Frost" Spec Name

#0 - May 29, 2008, 6:41 p.m.

"Frost" seems alittle too magish. I dont think DK's, Being a hero class, should have a spec called "Frost" cause frost deals mostly with CC and attack spells, and it doesnt make sense to make it a tanking spec name.

Edit:

Reasons:

1) Blizzard said that DK's are going to be the new "Hero" class, with different abilities and a more progressed leveling system, Which basically leads to the theme of Blizz wanting to make the DK "special". Naming the spec "Frost" decreases the DK's "Heroicness" because it shares an un-heroic classe's (mage) spec name.

2) Sure you might say that other Specs are shared by other classes, they are meant for the same idea though. Holy is meant for healing. Protection is meant for Tanking. Why should DK and Mage spec be called the same though they are made for completely different abilities, on being Tanking and one being DPS.

3) Frost just seems like an un-heroic name for a Hero class called a "DeathKnight". You'd think of along the lines of "Chill" which has a more creepy effect. Ice also contributes more to the Tanking aspect of DK's since Ice suggests something cold and hard.

"Really really cold stuff" seemed a bit long.

Perhaps you could call it the "moist" tree?

I've spec'd moist?

Not to derail further, but I've never understood the fear of this word.

Perhaps slush. The Slushie tree.. no wait.. probably can't use that one.
