Possible change for dks

[LeBoucher]

This would never work for a Frost DK. I'll keep my RP in order to spam FS, thank you very much.

okay finally got some free time, so inc spam replies

1:Shotzy- now i do understand arena is not for everyone, neither would be battle grounds or farming gnomes (personal favorite) but if you can look at the aspect of an arena playing, bg loving dk, i love situational macros, focus this, alt modifier that,chain this, kite that, its all situational, and now that Cata is coming with rated bgs, i would like the capability to go presence swapping without eating 50% of my possible moves requiring that rune

now i get warrior this, warrior that, but i am not a warrior, im a dk, im not asking for the atributes that a warrior has because his are unique, but being able to change presences with the new rune system built to make me do less moves over time, its not asking for much

2. Xicor- the purpose of a warrior going to defensive stance is to survive, shield block, shield wall, health trinket enrage regen <= typical oh shit button for a warrior, the warrior may lose a base 5% damage, but with sword and board, he negates damage while making their enemy eat shield, now, for a dk, the only possible outcomes coming to an advantage for a dk going from cata unholy presence to the new tanking presence (blood) would be for the base armor contribution (like any other tank stance/bear form) and the %'age reduction which with ibf and using deathstrike wisely, can keep you alive, a situational thing <= cannot stress this enough, seems the second i say presence swap im saying i want to be a warrior lol

3. Pickwickman- k i think i worded that wrong, allow me to explain it a little better

warrior- berserker stance and has 100rage, he goes into defensive stance, 25 rage now

Deathknight- in unholy presence, has 130 runic power, goes into blood presence, now has 40 runic power

what im shooting for is to penilize a dk by removing a large portion of his/her runic power when switching stances so it cant be abused going from a pvp presence to a tank presence at will with 130 runic power

Rage is the Warrior's resource. Runes are our main resource, not RP.

Sure, when Warriors switch stances, they can keep up to 25 Rage, but they also lose the use of certain ABILITIES.

We change Presence, and we get to use all of our abilities, but simply at the loss of an ability for 10 seconds.

I think we have the advantage here.
