who need windfury totem now?

Comment by xFireworkSx

On the Official WoW website for Death Knight Beta Talents, this talent affects Spells and Ranged weapons too.
Which I really hope they keep for live.

Comment by Strege

Since Icy Talons only works on things that can be slowed, doesn't that mean that this won't work against most bosses? This is either a noob question that everyone knew already, or everyone just got really angry at me for bursting their bubble... Either way: sorry.

Comment by Unformed8

Any ideas does this haste stack with Windfury Totem?

I doubt it though...

Comment by theakismaniac

one of the core raid buffs provided by frost DKs, along with Frost aura

does not stack with Windfury, although the shaman would actually need improved WF totem in order to match the 20% melee/ranged haste and overwrite it

besides, this seems to be overall better, as frost you will be using icy touch at least once every 10sec so its always up and up when you need it, that and a totem has a static radius meaning you could loose the buff if you are too far away from the totem, where this you do not

Comment by Unformed8

Damn man, seriously.

Imagine this combat rogue with sword spec.

Improved Icy Talons + Slice and dice + Blade Flurry + Berserking(Troll racial) + Bloodlust.

Do these all stack?

If they do, thats some serious white damage for awhile.

Not to mention the energy given by Combat Potency.

Comment by eromrab

How do you know that the 5% buff is in place? I don't see any "aura" and under my melee information on the character sheet, I don't see any +haste stuff?

Comment by logicalmayhem

Does this mean that we get +10% and another +5% on top of that for ourselves?

Comment by Arxroth

This talent is interesting.

I had before it the usual 20% haste (on level 60) and after taking this I got 38.60%, which is an insane buff for single talent point.

I don't know if that effect is diminishing at higher levels, but certainly makes nice grin on face :D

Comment by baracuda1337

Appearently its name is changing to "Unholy Aura" and it will get the old WC3 icon, GOOD STUFF!

Comment by Yorgl

Oh gawd ! Please let this new icon stays !
It's so cool having an actual aura from WC3 ! :D

Comment by neydiki

does it stack with Icy Talons ?

Comment by Gotnov

Lol, paladins lost their auras from War3 and Death knights keep theirs XD
