No, you said it was going to hurt a lot. It isn’t. It hurt me by 4%. 4% is not a lot. It’s going to hurt you even less.

Aha! But what you are failing to take into account, Mister Dwarfypants, is that 20% nerf to armour value from Frost Presence doesn’t equate to a 20% nerf to mitigation after diminishing returns are taken into account. Take Sithica for example. Prior to the patch she had over 27000 armour which equated to 67% physical damage mitigation from armour. After the patch that armour value was down to around 24000, but the real difference in mitigation was a net loss of only 4%, down to 63%. Since you’ll have vastly more armour than Sithica, actual % reduction will be even less for you.

As for where I get the idea that Deathknights don’t want to tank, well… from all the Deathknights who don’t want to tank. Try the LFG tool one day. I guarantee you’ll see half a dozen lolknights, Paladins, Warriors and Druids (but mostly lolknights), all looking for tanks and healers.

And you’re right about the nelfs. :p

The serious answer would be: We scale the worst, and the armor nerf we got, is going to hurt a lot. Think about our last trip the General (Vesax)… Now think of me tanking with 20% reduced armor bonus… ouchie.

Allright, time to clear up some misunderstandings here. First off calli, all pansy treehugging hippie druids are like that, even the good ones.
Hell, YOU are like that whenever you play your tree. Its nothing personal, playing a Nelf just does that to ya.

Secondly, DKs need no nerfs. Your healers needs props! Liek 4 reelz mad props n big ups n everything.
having no shield huurtz, but having a big arse axe hurtz dem others moar!…Where was i going with this? Oh yea, who the fekk told you that DKs dont wanna Tonk? its liek what we do best, it would be like a mage charging for strudel or refusing to sheep. “lol no, im no sheep mage i do dps” …yea right

(but yea, at soloing stuff, we almost equal hunters and paladins)

Imagine if it’d been a dwarf death knight. You wouldn’t even need the 9 other people in that raid!
