[dahawk]

i just came from a naxx 10 over vent i hearding are tanks dk-pally talking about deathknights getting shields in the next patch is this true ???

[Iracor]

[Shawaam]

[dahawk]

i figured they were BSing around dk's with shields..not kool lol

[Oragan]

lol dks with shields haha, they also say in 3.3 dks will have unholy light

No we won't be getting shields.

I think it would be a neat idea though, it could solve a lot of issues with DK tanks under normal circumstances
, but I think they have too many 'fixes' in place as it is, adding shields into would just screw it up more.

They should allow us to block with weapons tbh. Make weapon DPS work like block value and the amount of total str you have could determine the block rating we'd have. Make it a talent that works only in frost presence so people who PvP wouldn't automatically use it, we don't need survivability buffs in PvP we have different issues there.

DKs having shields will kinda kill the idea behind the class, we arent pallies or warriors hiding behind shields every time some mob bigger then us comes at us

the idea blizz had was that DK'swould be though enough to face those same mobs without the use of a shield to cower behind

i like this idea though

dualwielding shields could be fun

If blizz let dk's use shields they would have to re-desigin the whole class, change talent trees, change the stats on tier. I wont happen.

The day DK will get shields will be the same day as the day when gnomes will start to grow from trees and grow larger than a tauren.
