I'd like to see something implemented into Chain of Ice that would cause whom ever is dispelling to consider it.<BR/><BR/>Something like: Chain of Ice is dispelled. The icy chains shatter. Shards are sent flying in many directions. A small chance for a random proc of a random debuff in an area of effect or a larger chance to proc the random debuff on the dispeller. I'm for the latter of the two. Less RNG is nice.<BR/><BR/>I.E. Chance for a large chunk of ice to crash upon the head of a player, inflicting physicak damage and stunning them for 2-4 seconds. Chance for a jagged sliver of ice to slice the throat of a player, inflicting 2/3 seconds silence and a small bleed DoT that doesn't go away until healed or a medium damage bleed DoT with a finite duration -- 6 to 8 seconds maybe -- or chance for a sharp blade of ice to stab/slice the leg of a player, causing them to become hamstrung for X amount of seconds.<BR/><BR/>That's probably too overpowering to be baked into the the baseline skill. So, maybe it could be implemented as a new glyph and they could remove the current one, that is pretty lackluster. Alternatively, it could be baked into one of the early talents in the frost tree.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863412955392305799.post-76959236473000230302008-10-27T20:29:00.000-06:002008-10-27T20:29:00.000-06:00I'm not sure if this would help as much with the d...I'm not sure if this would help as much with the disease cleansing problems but I think that when a disease is cleansed it should have a 25% or so chance to leave a debuff that causes the next healing affect to cause damage instead of curing it. A HoT would probably have to become a DoT for its duration to prevent it from being such a easy way around it. The chance to happen and maximum damage it could do would probably have to be tweaked a bit to keep it from being to powerful. It just seems fitting to me for some reason that the Dk would have something like this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863412955392305799.post-31788208411800090622008-10-27T07:41:00.000-06:002008-10-27T07:41:00.000-06:00Dazes caused by players don't dismount people unle...Dazes caused by players don't dismount people unless I missed something in the Wotlk patch notes.

Instead to think about the mass of cc and maybe cut them of, blizz but more of those effects in wotlk. Those cc effects occure massivly problems to the pvp game.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Mages, rogues and retpalas are the best examples here.<BR/><BR/>1. Pala: ret is now nerfed hard. For me the dmg of the ret was not the the problem. But, stun stun stun and if you keep out of them and kickhis ass--->bubble and than he kicks you. simple way to fix. In bubble just 10% dmg is outgoing. So he can prevend opponents to you badges or restealths. Heal is 100% like it was. In and out. Stun time reduced about 30%. Dmg like it was.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Rogues: Dismantle--->outpached. No need in the game for something like that. They had riposte. If they don´t skill it, their problem.<BR/>Every class like to skill more but can´t. Rogue is the only one witch gets everything for free. thanks to blizz at this point. In combination with dismatle, cloak, stuns etc. and the poor cd times, rogue is just overpowerd. Like ret was. dismantle 10min cd, and you will see, rogue again is on a normal lvl.<BR/><BR/><BR/>frostmage: one class with is 100% nerfed until the release. too much cc (you just have to touch him to be freezed), iceblock etc. everyone knows what i mean.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>all those talents are making balance problems. espacially for the dk. blizz says, hmm if we boost dmg ---> too strong in pve.<BR/>simpelst way. let everything like it is, give the deathknight immunity for poisions, frost tab and harmstring and a chance to 30-40% to resist iceeffects stuns and fears and the problems are gone. effect to pve?!

In a pve environment where their control is almost entirely on the DK it's an acceptable and originally a somewhat refreshing approach.<BR/><BR/>In pvp it's an insane issue against anyone with a clue. What people need to understand is that dk damage isn't "too high" when the diseases are there. When they aren't it's even lower, and you lose the disease dmg, etc.<BR/><BR/>If you want to make the comparison to other resource based classes then DKs need an "Unquenchable hunger" type of ability/talent that says "When your frost fever ends early a frost rune immediately refreshes, when your blood plague ends early an unholy rune immediately refreshes".<BR/><BR/>That ability/talent would make it closer to a shadow priest or a warrior or any other class. Removing the disease still has the immediate benefits that removing damage based debuffs does, but doesn't completely bork what the DK was attempting to do for 10(ish) seconds. I swear dispell at times feels like a mini-stasis or a "plow under" that is just WAYYYYYY too strong against the current dk model in pvp.<BR/><BR/>Obviously it shouldn't work when diseases simply run duration, or when oblit removes them (though that'd be kind of hot and might be worth at least playtesting).<BR/><BR/>For those that haven't experienced DK pvp against reasonably skilled players though you honestly have no idea how frustrating it is at times. Having to spend 10(ish) seconds at times to setup anything and have only a 30% dispell resist at your disposal to preserve that work is insane.<BR/><BR/>The simple truth is that dk pvp needs attention at the concept level. That is something that *SHOULD* be addressed in a beta and that is something that is being overlooked right now. The changes needed aren't huge, but they represent an understanding on blizzards' part about how DKs funcation and how pvp works. Right now the current situation simply doesn't "work".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863412955392305799.post-87730173865261211352008-10-25T08:58:00.000-06:002008-10-25T08:58:00.000-06:00(Sorry deleted previous comment, was on the wrong ...(Sorry deleted previous comment, was on the wrong account :P, so repost)<BR/><BR/>Some very good suggestion Jayde.<BR/><BR/>Or at least material to play with. <BR/><BR/>I personally don't fully agree with the bloodstrike change you suggested. Not that i disapprove of the concept, but i think that immunity to cleansing diseases is too strong.<BR/>Maybe something like a 50% dispel resistance (maybe a bit lower and make it stack with Virulence) after blood strike is used. You keep the dispel resistance high, but not make it impossible to remove them. <BR/><BR/>About Corpse Explosion.<BR/><BR/>I personally wish they would buff the hell out of this talent.<BR/>Im a huge fan of the Diablo 2 Necromancer's Corpse Explosion. And i find the Death Knight one very very lackluster.<BR/>Even in AoE situations id most likely rather use the unholy runes on Death and Decay and IT>PS>Pestilence. <BR/><BR/>I think your suggestion is good, but i think it can use something more. The problem i think with Corpse Explosion is that when you copy a skill from a Hack and Slash, where you're knee deep in corpses over to an MMO, where those are limited (save for extreme aoe fights), you have to alter it to work.<BR/><BR/>I think your idea goes the right way, some kind of debuff after you use CE. <BR/>Although im very sure this ability could use something extra.<BR/><BR/>Maybe even something tied to the ghoul, like having it explode if no corpse is present.

I don't think Scent of Blood change is neccessary simply because you have dps options available should you not want it, and it would probably become a required talent for every build. <BR/><BR/>I have to disagree on the Blood Strike change though. I agree with Zeckks about the diseases situation. The only spec that cannot easily get 30% protection is 18/53/0. Frost doesn't have the dependence that other specs do on diseases so this is fine imo. (You can even reduce the disease dependence of Oblit with the glyph.) 30% protection is good enough for every other class, so I don't see why DKs suddenly need near-undispellable debuffs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
