To me, blood wasn't so good as a DPS tree; it felt wrong, only opinion of course. Describing it as lazy is a bit of a value judgement. I prefer to think of it as efficient. Or in other words: the less time they spend remaking three DK trees (rather than just one), the more time they have to spend buffing paladins. :PKlepsacovichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07915576683657376929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-48819205391741785822010-04-08T12:58:56.829-05:002010-04-08T12:58:56.829-05:00D'you know what it also says: GC "we real...D'you know what it also says: GC "we really could care less about how you like to play, or how we want the classes to be, this is the easiest way to pick the specc; by taking the one that would require work for us, and removing it."<br /><br />Thank you. Glad to here that 'lazy' is part of Blizzards game-philosophy these days. No no, really, super!<br /><br />I am a huge lover of frost dps and blood tanking, so the deciscion to make blood the tanking tree and frost the dps tree, is fine by me, if only they hadn't picked it because "well, i dunno it seemed to be the easiest way out".Dwismhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02332850111235993334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-88296749369487729712010-04-08T11:01:32.318-05:002010-04-08T11:01:32.318-05:00@Sven: Good point, the ones who should really be n...@Sven: Good point, the ones who should really be nervous are the people who like blood!<br /><br />@Andy: It's like an arms warrior with a lot of self-healing.

No other dk tank tree can lose a healer and 2 dps in the first 20% of a heroic boss fight from them standing in fires and still get the boss down without a worry. Blood's survival rate is just off the charts in these type of situations and is probably why I love the spec.<br /><br />With that said I have tried out a frost dual wield spec and it was fun for a while, but I didn't enjoy the whack a mole feeling of the spec. Even with glyph of disease to try and smooth the rotation out it just seemed like you were always watching buffs/procs from mods on your screen to figure out what to hit next instead of paying attention to what is going on around you.<br /><br />I haven't tried unholy yet mainly because I played a hunter for 3 years when WOW first came out and I don't want to just be a melee pet user.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-13146684670934713782010-04-08T09:37:39.253-05:002010-04-08T09:37:39.253-05:00I tanked from 60 to 80 as Unholy.

Loved it.<br /><br />Two heroics later I had to switch out of Unholy because it couldn't keep mobs on me in the high DPS world. :(<br /><br />Frost is fun and has its moments. Blood I haven't really ever tried.<br /><br />But Unholy is where I find the most fun. I was hoping I would get to go back to Unholy tanking in the future. :(Dorgolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12936803721440329897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-4471811109854595012010-04-08T08:44:17.341-05:002010-04-08T08:44:17.341-05:00I have an irrational dislike of Blood, even though...I have an irrational dislike of Blood, even though I've not played it.
