Your damage is indeed a little lackluster, but your ghoul is still amazing.<BR/><BR/>I do, however, focus ghouls a lot in arena, as they are such good damage.<BR/><BR/>In regards to the crippling poison vs chains of ice:<BR/><BR/>Crippling poison is extremely effective, although our 30% talent is 2 tiers deeper than the death knight's. The power of chains of ice isn't the snare effect over the whole 10 seconds, it is the root / EXTREMELY slowing effect in the first few seconds of casting. The peel power of this combined with death grip is amazing.<BR/><BR/>I feel like either the range needs to be toned down, or the root effect gone.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Back on the note of damage - death knight damage is indeed low on its own. Blood has fair enough burst, but only is realy a crawl to kill a target. But, the damage is a tradeoff for your survivability, because having both is just extremely overpowered. I beleive the biggest increase in damage you could get would be to buff deathcoil, so you actually would dump your runic power if you are sitting at 100%, like most of us do sometimes. And, from this post, it seems just that is happening, so we'll see how it plays out. ;)<BR/><BR/>Also, I think that each tree having a survivabilty talent is a good way to go. Either mark of blood or rune tap needs to go lower in the tree, because getting rune tap and bone shield is amazing.<BR/><BR/>Also, if you were ever interested in reading up on rogues, I started a blog right here on blogspot, inspired by your death knight one.<BR/><BR/>Thanks :)<BR/>-Swoop<BR/><A HREF="http://subtletactics.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">Subtle Tactics</A>Swoophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10545436594647776933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863412955392305799.post-91666542093549363702008-09-24T05:04:00.000-06:002008-09-24T05:04:00.000-06:00This is why you are known for being one of the mos...This is why you are known for being one of the most knowledgeable DKs.<BR/><BR/>I'm really tired of people whining over ever single nerf, bug, whatever that happens. The point of a beta is to test and give feedback. I tend to stay away from the forums just because I get angry most of the time I read them. (The hunter forums atleast, DKs are a little bit better)<BR/><BR/>I agree; These changes are NOT going to be that bad. In fact, I'm happy for them just because I don't have to here "Well you won just because you are OP". Well.. I'm still going to hear that sadly, but hopefully less often :)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03051456787990460739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863412955392305799.post-8140564815920509662008-09-24T04:08:00.000-06:002008-09-24T04:08:00.000-06:00I hope you know blizzard won't buff DK's damage, n...I hope you know blizzard won't buff DK's damage, now they will just nerf their survability like you want them too.

Ultimately i think as a magic effect Chains will eventually need further changes because it will just be too good against combos without a magic dispell.<BR/><BR/>On the Crippling Poison vs Chains subject i think your overlooking a few things. <BR/><BR/>-- Crippling has a decent chance to apply on melee swing, and when talented the chance is very high. -- Crippling also uses other poisons as dispell buffers. Removing Chains is going to be much much easier then removing Crippling. <BR/>-- Also remember Dispell Magic removes 2 magic effects not 1.<BR/>-- Applying Crippling is MUCH cheaper then applying Chains in terms of damage lost.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863412955392305799.post-9569553005835780842008-09-24T01:51:00.000-06:002008-09-24T01:51:00.000-06:00haha ok this may sound like a dorky ass comment, b...haha ok this may sound like a dorky ass comment, but i read your comments alot, and seeing you in the beta its like seeing a rockstar for the first time in the middle of the street.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05820319102904996946noreply@blogger.com
