Discussion: Death Knight Obliterate and Scourge Strike changes in Wrath of the Lich King (Sept. 2nd)

Not much to report today (yesterday was a holiday after all) with classes but at least it seems they MIGHT be getting the picture and going in the right direction for us Death knights.

As it stands now Scourge strike (unholy) is cirtting for 10k, frost strike too (frost), and yet us Blood Death Knights don’t really have a big hitter, Heart Strike pretty much replaces blood strike and even then it’s a little lackluster in it’s debuff and utility. Maybe an armor ignore instead of the haste debuff?

Obliterate & Scourge StrikeI think Obliterate just needs to do more damage and Scourge Strike less. They are very similar abilities so it’s easy to imagine numbers balanced in such a way that Obliterate is fun for Blood (when you don’t need Death Strike) and Scourge Strike is an improvement to Obliterate for Unholy without being the only talent you ever need in that tree.
