It surely was. I maintain the mandatory one-hand Frost spec is one of the worst class designs of the game so far.
They look like Mass Effect endings.
Still hanging on to the 2H Frost dream. Please Blizz, make it happen.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOD DAMMIT JUST GIVE US 2H FROST BACK! T_T
Rip 2 hand frost dk dream :(
I hope they have more color combos to reveal. Sickly-Green hues are a hallmark of Unholy spells and armor. Why would Frost get a green option and Unholy not? Frost has been thematically divested from the "sickly" theme for a while now. The only callback it has to the old DKs' multi-disease design phase is frost fever.
It may sound like an empty theory, but it is possible that these one hands could lead to the idea of specs like Blood and Unholy being able to use one hands instead of just two-hands. We did see similar swords in Legion but due to the artifact weapon system, they were mostly for cosmetic purposes. These, on the other hand, are part of the starting area for these newly made Death Knights, so they must be planning for some big class changes in the next expansion. A theory, but an interesting one at that. (Because let's face it, a majority of the classes in BfA are just the same as Legion but less effective....so basically Diet Legion Class designs.)
