Did Blizzard just hotfix an ilvl requirement onto Awakened LFR?

I've been playing DK since cata and I just noticed that the tool tips no longer show how much runic power is generated by an ability (i.e. Festering Strike generates 20rp). It's pretty important to know what generates your rp and how much is generated, especially for new players to the class. Does anyone know why the tool tips were changed?

Just use the ability on a test dummy or mob one time and you'll know the answer. Also, new characters are not going to be doing math equations in their head like that. Hell I've played a DK since Wrath and I have no idea how much RP is gained. I just RP dump when I'm out of other buttons to press.

Multiply the number of runes it costs by ten.

Death Knights don't even have beginner tooltips, even if they are enabled. Originally Posted by Avada Kedavra

Though that's also skewed by Frost Precence for Frost dk's. Originally Posted by Shiira

Yeah exactly. Originally Posted by Shiira

Anyone who can read my posts can also read ability tooltips, so they should know frost presence increases runic power by 20%.

Plenty of casual DK's can read your post and tooltips as well.
That doesn't mean they understand the runic power generation mechanics though. Or maybe not even care to look at tooltips, it's harder to think you wouldn't have someone read 'all runes generate 10 runic' and then notice they are getting 12 and not be confused.
But then again it's plasphemy to just clarify something so that what is said isn't misleading. Putting accurate information down is crazy talk.

I'm not going to give advice with the assumption that people don't know what their abilities do.
Should I clarify that frost is supposed to use frost strike as well?

It's not giving advice it's accurately stating information. So just because Frost generates more then Unholy/Blood would normally, that suddenly makes it not important to know?
For a beginner yeah you might have to. Still to this day see tons of DK's use things like Necrotic in their rotation just because it's not 100% said in game 'you use this'. It partially is with the spec panels, but not 100%
