DK Changes in Cata - Blood=Tanking

Postby Thulcondar » Wed Apr 07, 2010 5:40 am

http://blue.mmo-champion.com/26/24038461060-death-knights-will-tank-as-blood-in-cataclysm.htmlnnIt is a long and detailed post, the short of it is: Blizzard used 3 tree's that could tank as an experiment, based on changes brought into the game (Dungeon finder, dual spec) they feel that the DK tree's are just too unfocused and consumed a lot of time in terms of balancing and setup. So, Blood=Self healing tanking, Frost=DW DPS, Unholy=Pet/disease DPS

My complaint about this is the loss of a 2hander DPS spec.nnDualwielding or using a pet and diseases just doesn't feel the same.

I didn't read it that way but I may be wrong.

I have a problem with skimming and having little patience to read large passages. Will dual wield tanking be available in blood or just 2h? I'm fine if I have to change it with my DK, just wanna be able to tank with him and see if I can make his style unique in some way.
