blood tank? ftl

[tanked]

Im sorry, Im sure there is another thread about this, but Im just to pissed off.

Bliz is making BLOOD the tank tree? Wtf?! I've been blood dps since launch, and atm blood is still top if not very close to unholy in dps. Frost is fuking terrible, i dont give a rats ass what people say about dual wielding.

So hey, fuk us right bliz? Lets make the best dps tree the tank tree. The whole thing about DKs is being able to dps / tank in each tree. Now, I knew from the get go that eventually they would pick a tree and make it the tank tree b/c lets face it, you cant have it both ways.

But why blood? It was (imo) the straight smash your opponents face tree. You throw up your diseases and then you tear into them with your strikes. Frost is a gimmick, Im sry, its not a competitive dps spec. Unholy is to tedious, its just overly complicated with diseases, timers, scourge strike gets changed almost every patch, the whole tree is a hot mess quite frankly.

If they were to pick a tree to be "the tank tree" why not frost? Most original DK tanks were frost or unholy. They could easily make frost the tank tree, hell FROST PRESENCE is the tank presence. So its just retarded to tear down blood but not frost. How many frost DKs do you see nowadays? I haven't seen one since naxx.

Its just a waste of effort / time on their part, and ruining the 1 dps spec that has been close to the top since launch. GG bliz.. G-fukin-G



EDIT::: I realize I kinda went all nerd rage over here. Im just speaking from a veteran DK PoV.
Yes, I know they are putting the tank talents in blood and moving things around so it makes sense. Thats all good and stuff, but my point is (that i failed to get across) is that why not put the effort into making frost the tank tree?
Yes blood is the main tank spec atm but if they are basically revamping the whole thing anyway, wouldn't you keep a good dps tree and make the tree that not to many people use the tank tree? (again frost presence..)

But yea, sorry for the rage lol. I just hate to see the class that I played since LK launched to be changed in a way that makes little sense.. iuno..

You did catch the bit about moving the fun tank talents to the blood tree, right? And that they can then focus the other trees on dps, right?

[Arthas]

that's what i sayed wtf??? :'(

[Dark Side]

I never found frost tanking to be all that great. Unholy was destroyed when they changed unholy blight. Blood tanking has the best mitigation and regeneration with moderate AoE, it trumps. Why the hate for it?

[Axios]

Blood is still a dps spec and it is viable for all current content, the fact that it is as well a tanking spec doesn't make any difference, stop bitching.

[Muraza]

I could shit on your blood dps as frost. Link armory pleasee

[Herecius]

The entire playstyle of every DK tree is going to change anyways after Cataclysm, just like it did about five times over the development of WotLK. Too early to whine about specific problems that may or may not exist come Cataclysm.

[Atty]

Let me guess, your dk wears 245/251 gear with a couple of 264 pieces?

[Twinkelle]

You do realise that the trees will be all drastically changed for Cata, so what's in play now will be different come x-pac.
Would you like some cheese to go with the wine?

[dannzi]

the fact that you say that frost DW is not competitive dps, shows how stupid you are

[NatePsy]

To be quite honest with you here, there's nothing wrong with swapping over to Unholy DPS, it was the better spec for dps compared to all three trees. Best get used to it now while you're ahead dude.

(Off-topic) Death Knight, you're not the King of Death Knights, that's an insult.. Change it when you can yeah?

[Snes]

Most people are naturally resistant to change. The OP is one of those people.

BAAAWWWWWWWWWW I CAN'T SPAM HEARTSTRIKE AS A ROTATION ANYMORE BAWWWWWWWWW.

Welcome to WoW. One spec isn't always king, so adapt or reroll.

I personally dislike the fact that frost is the tanking presence, but blood is going to be the tanking tree. It just feels a bit awkward. Apart from that I don't mind us getting a specialized tanking tree.

[Muraza]

You think when they remake the blood tree they will tweak the presences? I could see UP being used in cataclysm do to the rune CD system they are planning.

They may change that, too. Who knows.

[Axios]

Also knowing that in your spellbook the main representing ability of the tank ( taunt, in this case Dark command) is in the blood section one could have seen this coming.

so, unholy should also dps in unholy presence? :3

I counter your logic with Frost presences being the skill you use that actually lets you tank is in the frost tree.

I mean sure we all had a thing in the back of our heads that they where going to do this. But using this logic to be all "omg called it" is just bad

[Rayzan]

Jumping to conclusions? Ftl.

Are you serious? Did you really make an entire QQ post about this when the talents weren't even announced yet?! Yes RIGHT NOW frost isn't very good for dps but that's right now. There's so much to be changed/added before release.

If you're going to mindlessly whine about something that hasn't even happened and has no relevence to what will happen, atleast post in a QQ thread that's already posted rather than wasting space.
