Blizzard
In this week’s Shadowlands build,
Death's Due has been updated and its buff and debuffs are no longer applied each time it deals damage.
Now your
Heart Strike,
Scourge Strike, and
Obliterate apply
Death's Due to the target, reducing the damage they deal to you and increasing your Strength by the same amount. The duration of the buff/debuff has also been reduced and the maximum amount of stacks has been reduced to 8.
In addition to these changes,
Death's Due has a unique bonus for Frost that allows their
Obliterate to hit 1 additional target while they stay within
Death's Due .
These changes to
Death's Due are aimed at making it a little more rotation-impactful, rather than just a passive bonus when casting it, while making it more balanced against the other Covenant choices.
