Comment by OptimusJ Achievement numbers were ridiculous. Specially for The Pen is Mightier.
Since Glyphs are one use items now, why the hell people would make such a quantity? Comment by amoory wait what ? buffing unholy O.o Comment by Charlieman Anyone knows when should it go out? Comment by Creepskin Quiet! Don't complain! Comment by Ashelia Anyone knows when should it go out?Comment by Sleuth Dust, Dust and more Dust! finally has a reasonable number.
Of course, they could just allow rolling for disenchant to count instead... Comment by Alozare so... Death Wish is... not getting changed...? Comment by Nhuvasarim I'm so very lost as to why Unholy is getting buffed.
No QQ, but I think the new Blood of the North for Frost does not mean that Unholy is now falling that far behind in DPS that it needs a buff.
Or do numbers prove otherwise? Comment by blackheartedone so... Death Wish is... not getting changed...?Comment by algi And what about Wind shear? They forgot to nerf him. Maybe in 4.2 ;-) Comment by Interest Oh I really love the changes to those guild achievements.

Now they might be POSSIBLE for smaller guilds. Comment by Hurono What's with the UH buff... Most UH DK's I've seen are already high on the meters... Comment by Interest Maybe it's to make them stop using Necrotic Strike. I heard something about Scourge Strike being virtually useless in PvP.

(This probably isn't the best way to solve it though. I'd just nerf the AP coefficient on Necrotic Strike). Comment by Hurono Maybe it's to make them stop using Necrotic Strike. I heard something about Scourge Strike being virtually useless in PvP.

Helps a good bit on trash to slow incoming caster damage if used properly. Mainly see use on the fire elementals between Halfus and V&T.

I've made like 16.3k of them. Comment by Alfa Well they nerfed the fishing one but not the one a lot of people are going for. 10k still seems a lot unless it wasn't specifically in pools. Comment by Ciante Unholy has been nerf in almost every build on PTR, so a little buff seems more a compensation for a too heavy nerf...

And I'm not speaking for me, I'm a 2H Frost/Blood DK, so no UH here...
