Unholy Death Knight in WoD Beta
This may come as a shock, but I have a few Death Knights on my roster. Actually, I play a few on my server. I have two Frost (2H and DW) and a Blood DK for farming and all-around indestructibility. I think having to deal with a pet has kept me from playing an Unholy Death Knight. That may be the reason my Hunter hasn’t moved past level 85. Spreading my focus between a man and his pet doesn’t feel like fun, especially since my “focus” is an abstract construct at best. I’m the same guy who went from playing an army of plate-wearing killers in PVE to a PVP abuse-sponge wrapped in leather.
Not normally how I roll, is what I’m saying here.
Unholy DK’s seem to be a favorite in PVP, and plenty of PVE end-gamers rave about them. Then Preach comes along and gives some feedback on his Unholy DK experience in the Warlords of Draenor beta. I may be thawing a Frost DK and letting him get crazy.
Frost DK in WoD
I was a little disappointed when I first started replaying my Frost Death Knight. Granted I was still relearning everything, but the downtime was a little frustrating. When you’re the kind of person who is used to dealing damage, killing things face to face with whatever you have in your hands, every tick that goes by without doing something fatal feels like an eternity.
The oft-mentioned Preach brings good tidings from the WoD test servers. Now while this is still alpha/beta, and one should not hold their breath when it comes to class tweaks until things go live, Blizzard has done something very cool (no pun intended) – no more downtime for the Frost DK.
Warriors, on the other hands… /mourn.
