Innen-onnan:

  • Unholy Blight – does not cause Blood Plague. No cooldown. Lasts as long as we can make it last for the damage it does — ideally 20 sec. Counts as a disease for purposes of DK abilities. It might be an okay tanking ability, but should do good damage in longer fights too. At 20 sec it might be perma up if you forsake other runic power abilities, which is probably fine. Remember we are buffing Death Coil too though.
  • Death and Decay – the fear component became a glyph. This will allow base damage to come up, making it a more useful tanking and general AE ability.
  • Pestilence – limited by its area (which stays the same) but no target limit. We found the argument compelling that without Challenging Shout, and since it requires an additional step to apply the disease, that this is probably fine. At worst, Pestilence’s disease might have to come down a little or it might need a short cooldown to prohibit spamming, but I don’t think any of you will mind. The glyph will change to enlarge its radius.

DPS changes

  • Death Coil, Frost Strike, Death and Decay damage increased.
  • Strikes that scale with diseases changed so that the weapon damage, not just the flat damage, scales with the disease.
  • Double rune abilities damage increased: Obliterate, Howling Blast, Scourge Strike, Death Strike.
  • Unholy Blight no longer causes Blood Plague, but had its cooldown removed.
  • Several attack power coefficients increased.
  • Bloody Strikes and Scent of Blood swapped places.
  • Bladed Armor now turns armor into Strength (which then is turned into Parry).
  • Master of Ghouls’ Ghoul now lasts until killed or similarly dismissed.
  • Ravenous Dead no longer affects Ghoul duration, but grants your rotting little buddy 60% more of your Str and Sta. (Stam goes from 30% of yours to ~50% of yours. Strength goes from 100% to 160%.)

Tanking changes

  • Frost Presence now grants 10% total health in addition to its current bonuses.
  • Blood Gorged, Rage of Rivendare and Tundra Stalker all grant 1/2/3/4/5 expertise.
  • Veteran of the Third War increased to 6/6/6 Str / Sta / Exp to match warriors.
  • Will of the Necropolis no longer grants expertise and now lowers Anti-Magic Shell cooldown.
  • Pestilence has no target limit. (It still has a radius limit.) Pesilence glyph now increases area.
  • Death and Decay no longer has a cower component, but a glyph can add that back.
  • Frigid Dreadplate now has a 100% chance for 2/4/6% miss but only on the DK.

Rewards for the selfless buffer

  • Abom’s Might now grants 2% Strength at all times.
  • Improved Icy Talons now grants 2% haste at all times.
  • Ebon Plaguebringer now grants 3% crit at all times.

Runeforge changes

  • Lichbane now does 2% weapon damage as Fire, and double damage to undead.
