CoI nerf

[zaruz]

CoI - I will miss you if this goes live

#
# Chains of Ice now reduces movement speed by 60% for 8 sec. (Down from 95% + 10% movement each sec over 10 seconds)

[treston323]

Not really a nerf..

CoI on live will be lower than 60% in only 4 seconds.. This change will let it stay 60% for 8 seconds.

[Rapti]

Finally, balanced.

[jitzul]

well i guess we lose a good cc ability

[treston323]

Finally, balanced.

Because DKs are soooo OP right now. Its not like they've been the worst pvp class for almost a year now or anything.

But those first few seconds that really make the skill what it is. This just makes it pretty much slow/cripling poison/hamstring for dk's.

Not fun.

Honestly, I think the new version might be a little better in the long run. However this might just get reverted before it makes live..

PS look at the new strike.

Yeah, the new strike was pretty sick. I guess that CoI had to be changed to be refreshed by it.

[escobar]

a little bit worse for peels but being refreshed by festering is awesome we wont have to waste frost runes keeping it applied

DKS have been unstoppable in pvp when specced right and skilled... dont even need great gear with the blood/ghouls specs. could go blood/haste to deal with melee more than casters to. im not the most skilled or even close to best geared but my dk pwns guys with double my everything. as blood/ghoul. bloodhaste would probably do similarly well, just not as great with the diseases getting dispelled.

um not past 1600 buddy go to sk we are the least represented class and only unholy is viable at high end. most being in retarded tsg

[Thegovna]

It's a stupid change.

[Foibles]

CoI is currently only good for the first few seconds, so it will be fine.

[Ebontail]

yay now its jsut like every other snare HOO-RAY for homoginization!

[jazx]

It's a stupid change.

your not considering the new rune system when your just saying something like this, frost runes will be much harder to come by.

the change is amazing with fester strike.

i agree with this -.- it's basically a dispellable concussion shot now, that lasts twice as long. wow, how original -.-

disclaimer: i have pvp'd on my dk (around 15k HK's i think) but by no means is it my main (2 other chars with almost 50k each) and have 7 other 80's as well, im not just trying to get dks buffed/keep them from being nerfed, i actually just don't like homogenizing, especially in such an iconic ability.

[Powerogue]

face it, chains of ice was overpowered and way too spammable. this is almost sane, and presumably still spammable.

[Thegovna]

Which is another stupid change.

Also, there's nothing unique about being another class with a passive 60% slow.

[Zookz25]

I don't mind the change, but now they actually need to give death knights a CC ability.

Without our Chains of rooting and faster rune CD, we'll have a annoying time trying to kite something as a CC. :/
