When Patch 3.2 for the World of Warcraft hits, Death Knights are once again going to see some pretty big changes. The test realm patch notes are online for players to start looking at and discussing, and the discussion has already become fairly heated. Many of the changes are being viewed as fairly substantial nerfs to the class, and many players are quite upset. Are they really nerfs though? Should they be viewed as such, and how bad are they? Those are just some of the things Byron "Messiah" Mudry looks at in his overview of the proposed Death Knight changes for patch 3.2.
If there is one really bad thing for DPSers, it is a change to Frost Strike. This strike will no longer be unavoidable by enemies, meaning it will now be able to be parried, dodged and blocked. Frost strike will also do slightly less damage. The change to avoidance will leave many players wondering if it is worth using over any other strike. If you are expertise capped, it shouldnt make that much of a difference, but if not, it may be worth looking at other options.
