T oday represents the last in our tri-partite look at the Cataclysmic stat changes.? As promised, Death Knights are the topic of today’s discussion.? Again, I’d like to make sure to note that like everything else Blizzard does, this is subject to change.? With that in mind, we’ll be looking more at the general directions they want to go. For DPS Death Knights Being a bi-functional class (tanking and DPS), we have to look at the changes in two ways.? Let’s check out the DPS stats changes first.? Here’s the old stat priority for Frost DPS: Hit (until cap) > Str > Expertise (until cap) > Crit > Haste The only two stats that are going away that we had some moderate use for are Attack Power and Armor Penetration, but as you can see, those weren’t really in our top five.? In fact, they will each now convert into one of those or stamina, so it’s all good.? As long as you’re wearing plate, you should be well itemized.? The non-plate items will be tailored towards other classes, and we will probably see less overlap, making those items not as good for us.? As a plate, melee DPS, we should just be prepared to see more stamina and more strength.? Nothing big here
