blood dks crying and it works again

Comment by LeucienWeavr

I watched a bearded man do two spins for no reason when he saw the title. A shame that the main nerf didn't get reverted.

Comment by Worgendeath

nice clickbait title

Now do all the other tanks :)

They didn';t revert the changes they posted today, but unannounced changes that were datamined

Comment by ArkonicGames

Anyone celebrating in the comments, from what I see in this post this doesn't change the massive rework nerf to deathstrike. Blood dk is completely dead until that change gets reverted, so don't get hyped up yet. Keep crying

Comment by FerLuque1696

Just revert All tank nerfs please. Everyone are expecting to have tanks and healers to be funny and usefull rather than a stressfull role

What works? Calling these changes "reverted nerfs" is clickbait at the finest. Because these changes weren't even made in the last sweep. Except for Bone Shield, but this is exactly the change they said it would have, increasing the Armor conversion to 100% strength.

Comment by Silvereyes1372

Well, hopefully they will also nerf the damage from tanks too. I saw a Blood DK doing close to DPS overall damage and even being first on some pulls."

Comment by wowheadfan555

Revert all of the blood dk and vengeance changes. This is literally their identity as tanks, to heal themselves.

they certainly wouldn't compete with dps of a similar gear and skilllevel to themselves, you just ran into a geared player who is good at the game and are basing your entire opinion on that encounter

Reverting changes that never actually happened

Comment by p00pyjoel

Now do the other tank changes! Healers have enough to worry about with all the damage in M+!

Comment by AsherrTheRed

this is pure trashcan tank changes. games dead and im done dealing with tone deaf bliz.

Comment by Arexith

Blood DK is still broken - negatively.
Until he receives compensation for lost healing and absorption, the character will be unplayable.

Comment by Redemption86

Revert the other tanks as well, no one wants a return to the shadowlands kite meta.

Get used to this as they still haven't addressed the blood shield/mastery capping, so most BDK will build crit over mastery and this will result in more damage due to extra crits, well as extra parry which will be handy in m+.

Yeah, but now wowhead can do their thing and clickbait people.

Comment by Naw123

You can tell no one at Blizzard plays BDK because even a high mid tier BDK tank could have told you the changes were ridicules and would knee cap blood.
