Army of the Dead ideas?

[Nangz]

This spell is probably one of my favorite of my death knight just because of the awesomeness of it. (who could hate it really)

I was thinking about ways to improve it and it came to me that adding a minor glyph that removes the taunt would be something helpful and well taken by many people.

Thoughts?

my only concern is that means DKs have to be balanced around army use in raids because it can be used whenever

Just make is so OP, that it's not funny.

Army of the Dead.
Temporary revive up to 8 fallen comrades for 5 minutes. The fallen are considered Undead, the damage done and heals received are reduced by 1/2.


Army of the Dead.
Armies only attack the targeted mob when the skill is cast. They Exploded if they are still alive and the target mob is dead.

Make all death knight's dance thriller and make the ghouls join in.

^ this! Definitely! Perhaps while summoning them?

On-topic: I think it'd be nice if we had a little tiny bit of control over them, via a pet bar, even if that meant controlling them and our ghoul simultaneously. It'd be so much easier and nicer. Also, the pet bar would automatically solve the taunt issue if a button is present but "toggled off" by default.

i'd take a glyph for that!

[secret]

it will be fun glyph but not that op in raids. arms dont have threat on raid bosses and there threat does help sometimes,u know when tank die in 5mans or taking adds.

i think a good glyph will be something like that.

inc ur dmg for 15% for 10sec after army, but reduce healing taken for 50%

Glyph of Army of the Dead
Minor Glyph
Class: Death Knight
Requires Level 80
Use: Gives your Army of the Dead ghouls something cool to do when you use the /dance emote with them summoned.

A glyph to either extend the duration of the ghouls and lessen the number in return. Or the opposite, more ghouls, less duration :P.
As for people who could hate the spell? I was in Eye of the Storm one day, a dwarf warrior Hamstring'd me (by which time I'd beat him down to about 30-35% hp) and he took my indisposed state to his advantage by running away, we were quite close to the edge of the map and he fell down a small drop between rocks on the map. Suffice it to say, he was trapped and couldn't climb back up.
I sauntered over and stared at him, he stared back. 20 seconds later I clicked AotD and used Icy Touch on him, he was swarmed in about half a second, he tried to fight them but he was torn to pieces pretty quickly. He hates it .

Personally I would be happy with being able to enable or disable the taunt at will, and also make them not move stuff around while tanking it.

You can thank hunters for the way they move mobs around, it was them asking for pet ai to auto position pets behind mobs that resulted in army of the dead behaving this way.

[Zarakazi]

my idea: it aids dps and tanks

Army of the Undead - Instant

Summons 8 ghouls to aid and protect the Death Knight. For each ghoul alive the Death Knight takes 5% less damage.

[halpfultroll]

Wouldn't wanna ask for too much but I'd like a no taunt glyph.

Of course Thriller ghouls would be awesome.

[Dapuh]

but...

AotD is a Icebound Fortitude while channeling, and then it taunts all those immortal guardians of you so your mates have a bit more time to down y+0!

[Gunmist]

When AotD is cast Pillz will appear on the ground which will temporarily increase your maximum health.

I think it is fine as it is
