Apocalypse is baseline now? Neat.
Glad to see Apocalypse baseline and Army of the Dead's cooldown reduced.Sludge Belcher is also being removed it seems, which I'm indifferent to currently.Woa, and they're bringing back Unholy Blight? That's neat.Otherwise, I'm liking most of the changes here.
DKs desperately needed a movement speed boost or a gap closer and they not only increased the CD of Wraith Walk but they removed the talent that reduced the CD and increased the speed... I hope frost gets some additional movement help.
A moment of silence for the loss of our Sludgebeltcher. Rest in pieces, Rotgutt, Festerface, Festergut, Eyetoe, Toothrot, Tooththief, Limbrot, Corpsegrinder, Corpsechewer, Eyeslobber, Wormtheif, Eyechewer, Skullbasher, Marrowface, Caskethead, Corpserobber, Maggotchewer, Limbrip, Coffindodger, Ratface, Crunchface, Rotfoot, Gurglecrush, Stichmush, Muffcruncher, Gurglescab, Scabcruncher, Stenchknuckle, Festerblister, Toothsore, Bob... And most importantly, Beetlejuice. I hope you all unrest well, putrid princes.
The talent tiers are ugh now, at least to me.
I like all of the changes, but... Make valkyr a cosmetic glyph at least? please?
So we're losing Abomination and Val'kyr . . . Wraith Walk and Gargoyle become talents . . . Apocalypse has two less ghouls but Army gets a two-minute reduced cooldown. Ouch. That kinda put a damper on these changes.New Epidemic look great — maybe too good though, seems like it should be a baseline ability for AoE damage outside of Death and Decay — not sure how well the new Corpse Explosion and Defile stack up against it. New Soul Reaper seems worse than before too. Unholy Blight and Death Pact make a return — but I don't see them being used much due to their competition . . . I'd be excited for Unholy Frenzy if I didn't have to give up Gary for it.Gotta say I'm a bit disappointed with this.
I hope we are able to keep sludgebelcher. I had fun times death gripping someone for them to run away and get yanked back by the hook of our buddy.
I'm SO happy about Death's Reach. That pull mechanic is so core to the DK style, and they nerfed the crap out of it from WoD to Legion. If only Unholy could get Gorefiend's Grasp back, too! I never used Sludgebelcher, anyway. I know it's the talent you're "supposed to" take, but I prefer the extra interrupt.
Don't forget my favorites: Eyesore and Rotrot :c
its nice that death's advance is back to being baseline for all DKs
They better make Val'kyr and Abomination into glyphs. Especially abomination after they put all that work in a new model.
Why they brought that damn Death Pact back? Didn't they took it away because the mechanics of this skill were terrible? The damn Corpse Shield wasn't even close to OP skill and dunno why they took it away...
Losing Sludge Belcher is going to be huge in PvP. Unholy relied on that extra pull and mini interrupt a lot!
What about frost? Can we please be more then just blue warriors? Give us a Lich form or something...
This was one of the most anticipated page on wowhead since BfA announce, for me. And i'm torn apart. 1) sludge belcher. No. You can't take him away! Ok, you can, but i hate you for that! I love him! He is the best minion i've ever had! No srsly, i LOVE the extra hook. And the looks. Now we will be back to some retarded ghoul :'( 2) actually SOME talents look okay. 3) I didn't liked IC either, and I see a lot of now exceptionally reasonable choices (not like previously. Like if we want our Aoe to be dependent on positioning OR resource-based. 4) But it is bad. Very bad. SLUDGE BELCHER IS GONE! I WANT MY ABONIMATION BACK!
Good point, im with you there. I hope we see them as glyphs!
