Will frost start dominating pvp now?

Post by Xepp

Hi,
I have been looking more and more into the frost tree and especially now when they buffed frost presence. +80% from presence and +15% from toughness + 15% magic reduction is awsome. Also spells that consumes more then one rune generate 15 runic power.. Both Obliterate and Deathstrike are often used by me in pvp and my runic power generation will go through the roof. And then Frost Strike spam.. I am really looking forward to the new patch!

So to the build.

Many nice abilitys with both imp rune tap, bladed armor! And constant +80 resistant to all magic (except holy).
With this build, frost presence and like D&D, Obliterate and one more major glypgh (any suggestions?)

What do you guys think of this? Have I missed some major thing or?

Dominating PvP? I thought all three specs had specific delicious things for PvP? I mean, there's a dozen times where turning into a ghoul after death has managed to help me. (Not to forget Blood's fun abilities)

Ah well.. maybe it wasnt the best titel but I wanted to get some attention :P Both Unholy and frost are already good in pvp and blood is not as easy to play with but can be good too. What I ment with my post was, wont Frost be the "best" (easiest to rule with) pvp-tree now with all nice buffs?

All three trees have fun abilitys and as always are there too few talentpoints to get them all. Dame you blizzard! ;)

Not really sure why you wouldn't max your Tundra Stalker, Dark Conviction, and take Merciless Combat, but otherwise the build looks pretty solid. Personally, I would drop Rune Tap and Improved Rune Tap, and max out the above-mentioned skills, but it's a matter of personal preferance, I guess.

The build you've set up will certainly be a control freak. That's always a good thing for PvP.

Well.. tbh I ran out of points :P I had points in MC until I read some about frost aura and though that +80 resistance is better then +12% dmg. I dont know.. you think its better?

Well.. I dont wanna drop rune tap as its to good. 20% heal every 30 sec is just too good. Especially when i try to make a build to stay alive as long as possible.

umm you can get all of the above with 5/5/5. So no frost wont take over pvp. I'd expect to see more blood and then frost dk's pvping.

5/5/5?

You think making the heal double for blood will make them alot better for pvp? I dont know.. maybe.. I sure will try atleast :D

You can drop Blood of the north, death runes dont really kick in that much while pvp because you'll be spamming frost strike and hoping to dump all the rp before enemy ran away again, chances of blood strike landing on you enemy is....really low, with strangulate, pestilience and bloodboil taking priority while pvping, i really dont see the point of using blood strike unless your teammates and trap opponent in one place long enough for you do kill him pve style.

Maybe your right but I find myself using blood strike pretty often. I changed my build a bit and found it pretty nice. I have not very much problem to stay on a guy.

I use death strike, obliterate and blood strike alot and this make me get alot of death runes. Pretty nice for obliterate spamming.. This also is nice when patch come and both death strike and obliterade both generate 15 runic power per hit. With this I will build up rp really fast for frost strike.
