Just gonna let you guys know in case the breath changes come through, spending the howling blast rime proc counts as spending a rune for things like gathering storm and also the old pillar stacking streng buff, which is pretty interesting since i imagine will want to spend all those procs during breath. Theres also the fact that it doesnt say theres a maximum time for stacking breath, which means you are gonna be able to stack a lot of time at the start of the fight with bloodlust + erw active. I imagine breath being extremely long specially during those BL phases, so if a version of this hits live, i hope they add a maximum time that you can have ''saved'' for your breath
This version of breath would be so much better. You can finally use the full value of obliteration while in it and you have breath always just be in Pillar and dont need to think about holding pillar for breath or breath for pillar.
tnx for the video i guess one of the problem is that for example shaman can use almost same stat for enhance and ele but for dk frost and unholy is different stats than each other so u must play only frost or unholy atleast at the start of season and the next problem with dk specially frost dk now is that when ur cd finishes u cant do anything and when you are using ur CD but u have to go out of pack or from boss because of any mechanic u lose ton of dmg cuz u have only 10 sec for pillar and its to low and the next thing is if frostscythe gives us more timer on buff after pillar so i guess we have more dmg after cooldowns and its good and i hope they lower some of frost dk effect arround u when u are using breath and remorsless winter because its harder to see stuff on the grounds and i rly hope they remove GCD from D&D and grip its rly annoying with breath
hope they implement that much cleaner breath design. but hope more that sanlayn unholy is viable, i wanted to play that since back in original ptr when it was off the charts lol. ironically it seemed similar to how you play breath now, except insetad of spamming your strike to desperately keep number up for breath, you were spamming strike to jam pack as much damage in the window as possible.
The only thing Im scared about with the unholy set is that we would move away in m+ from the non apo build as you tend to overcap on runic power a lot there with spamming scourge strike
Idk where you got that number from, but comparing bis setups, 2H is only 3-4% behind on ST according to the class discord sims. The real issue of 2H is in the AoE department, the reduced amount of KM procs makes avalanche noticably weaker, and using GA as an AoE filler doesnt really compensate for the lack of both BoS and shattering blades.
Interessting this tests with the new 2 piece bonus for all classes 😅 Wish unholy stays so finally San'layn will be playable ❤ and the breath change would bring some new flavour instead of the same since wod or legion 😂
Sets aren't class themed and are basically duplicated aross classes...that sucks big time....UDK still has so much set up can feel clunky and still doesnt have much raid utility (if you want grips you'd bring blood dk). Was really hoping we would have got a bit of a rework since wounds and DC have so much junk baked into them the pie tastes funny now....
I'm also considering a reroll from my FDK because it feels like playing a character with 10y old mechanical restrictions and everyone else gets their stuff for free
Hard disagree about the survivability nerfs. If we don't bring any special utility and they refuse to make us strong or even just rework us then I think getting to survive better than other dps specs is a reasonable 'compromise.'
We don't just survive better than other DPS though, we die less than tanks we die less than any other class or spec in the game. It's reasonable to nerf it.
Hate it or love it, grip IS a special utility. Besides, our tankiness has been absurd and still is. Tank dies in the miniboss opener of a weekly+10 necrotic wake, arakara or stonevault? No biggie, the frost dk will finish it off. We live naked through most mechanics which oneshot other melees through a cooldown. Its busted.
honestly hoping that bos change doesnt make it to live, I love breath how it is now and changing that would make me drop the spec entirely and play something else. with it being currently unlisted in the ptr changes it seems to me like its still in an internal testing phase and blizz may be still experimenting with other possibilities aswell.
Next season is gona be great. I’m gona wait until the last six weeks when they are handing out gear for free, blast out a few mythics to get the portal, and shut this boring RNG overridden “game” off until the end of S3 to rinse and repeat.
befor watching the vid. i am gonna reroll dk this expack is not fun anymore for me. frost is just rng on rng and uh is bm hunters of the melee but easier. edit after vid: im jelous that you are so optimistic and positive about Dks next tier. but as you said on paper they look down bad but atlest not as bad as Dh

You fulfilled your statement from Discord really fast, love it. Thx for the content and opinion about the upcoming changes.

Long time no see! Glad you’re back man.
Theese bos changes are soo good.
Almost as good as removing the whole ability altogether, forever

Don't forget crafted weapon choice, made it almost impossible to swap early season
@@Bicepspump y exactly

Darion's dnd and our defile received graphical updates as well along with magus shadowbolts.
I hope they go through with this BoS change, would make me pick for the first time since Legion.

apo is cool tho :P
It’s better to play with apoc in m+ now anyway. It’s a big ST gain
Do you think that unholy or frost is gonna be the pick for next season with these changes?
It's not unimaginable
@@Bicepspump ????
@@insertnamehere4419 sorry, Unholy might be better as it stands
he is alive you guys!
Can Blood DK be played as DPS by any chance? Like the old days...
I'm afraid not, they're strictly tanks
@@Bicepspump Thats kinda lame. Oh well, back to wotlk servers to play it xD
If I lose my Riders, I'm going to curl into a ball and cry.
I've gotten way too used to the mobility...
Upload more Bice pls when we getting more closer to the Season tvm
Still hoping that they do something with 2h frost so it isn't like 8% behind in ST.

🐐
The main problem of the game is RNG procs
They add RNG into RNG procs
Smart move
whats happend to reduce buttonbloat to UHK?! it looks same like previous expansion.
Yeah not too big of a difference. They did bake unholy blight into DT
@Bicepspump damn
Hey welcome back!

Yeah they really don't seem to care about us UDKs. Sucks but there's nothing we can do. 😢
The sets are one of the worst design choices i've seen since Breath in WoD. So yeah. I can't belive i'm rerolling my main frost dk.
I'm also considering a reroll from my FDK because it feels like playing a character with 10y old mechanical restrictions and everyone else gets their stuff for free
Nothing like being incentivized to…. Spam glacial advance in dungeons? 😭
you can also play unholy
Quitter gonna quit
@@chrisbreen6484 Well yeah, but it's kinda the same mechanic, we'll see how unholy feels during the patch.
What is the name of the priority addon you have there on the left side? Please and thank you!
Hekili
It's a details plugin showing the buttons I have just pressed
breath isnt changed for me on ptr...
@@T-Hazza it's still the old one, this is just a spell that has been added to the PTR

both UN and Frost are nerfed to the ground. its beyond saving
Unholy bonus is great dmg, but I find it incredibly boring.

So glad I don't play Frost anymore. smh

The season 2 tier for frost is boring as fuck

More f DK PvP nerfs wtf
no way u should ever use froststrike in breath its just wrong
Talking about the potential new version
They can’t be serious with these tier set bonuses-it’s so lazy.
