  1. As someone who made a frost dk recently for the sole purpose of playing 2H in SL, the more I see about the spec the more I feel like dual wield is the way to go. 2H requiring manual build up of razorice and also taking almost 30 seconds to reach max stacks seems to go against the meta of fast, bursty paced arenas.

  2. i think glacial advance needs a little change. either it cost less runic power and the CD stays or whats better its stays at 30 runic power and the CD gets lowered maybe to 3 sec.

    really love playing with that skill but its a bit to slow in my opinion

  3. I think i missed what runeforge you use on the 2H weapon? Razorice on 2H would still stack it up pretty fast without the need of glacial advance or am i missing something 😀 cheers!

  4. I like the idea that you can play both, 2H and DW, just to switch things up a little from time to time, even better if the playstyle changes a little and your damage output is based on a different ability.I always imagined 2H damage to be based on obliterates, while DW being based on either Frost strike or general frost damage across all spells.
    P.S. Really sad for FDKs now on pre-patch, they literally do no damage…, makes me feel bad every time i see them just drop dead from every other class/spec.

  5. Hey man, love to see you cranking out content regularly again! Me and a bunch of other people are building a new PVP community on discord to try and promote a non toxic, friendly space for players of all levels and skill. We have about 2500 members, and are trying to grow this thing to be a new staple of the pvp community. We have volunteer coaches, sign up sheets to help people find teams, and channels to discuss everything from class specifics to addons to macros and binds. We’d love to have you in there if you wanna stop by and check it out that would be huge! https://discord.gg/4VRbws3

  6. Man i'm getting more nervous as SL approaches. I want nothing to do with DW at all…in any way. And I keep trying and trying to like GA in 2h but its just so damn meh and slow. I just want to spam oblits that hit as hard as chaos bolts, why is that so complicated lol.

  7. Yeah, I definately like the 2H because I always main the Blood DK and getting two 1H weapons just for Frost spec just for PVP always was somewhat pain in my ass. So it's really cool that I can now play my favorite DPS and PVP specs more easily.

  8. The rice handed does have big hits but your also keeping pressure with that off hand swing. I've been duel wielding forever and the burst is nuts. And like he said just smash all gear into master. No reason not to because all your skills will use it

  9. Whats your thoughts on scaling ? Will Frost in either form be competitive throughout the expansion ? Or will it be left to the wayside and be the Windwalker Monk of Windwalker Monks? Just curious cause seems like with multiple damage sources hitting for so little and relying on crutch stuff just to function…

  10. Solid stuff man. Any opinions on how frost vs arms will do in terms of damage output and viability? I've been stuck between frost, survival, and arms for a main and having a hard time choosing. Sort of lost hope on frost after seeing the nerfs.. but also seeing 13k crits (8:25 in the video) on beta with frost 2h makes me think if it was that good, wouldn't FOTM players be swarming to it since 13k is half of someones hp?

  11. New to frost dks, can someone please explain what “dragon stun” is? I thought dks only have an optional stun from 4 ticks of remorseless winter and the asphyxiate talent

  12. It takes waaaay too long to stack up that Razorice which is bad design imo, I feel like Glacial Advance should just apply 5 stacks of Razorice, cost more RP and have a longer CD (also better visuals c'mon Blizz). Either that or just turn it into a frontal cone and make it apply a stack per target hit, making it work similarly to Blood Boil with Hemostasis.
