Part II will consist of a critical analysis of each individual spec, as well as an examination of our arsenal of glyphs this expansion.
We’re coming to the end of yet another expansion, and it’s an appropriate time to reflect on Death Knights in Mists of Pandaria and discuss what we hope awaits us in Warlords of Draenor.
If you played a Death Knight during 5.2 and 5.3, you came across this term. I’m very proud to say that it’s a phrase I came up with to describe a playstyle that we created, tested and then popularised in #Acherus.

After a fairly shoddy stint in Cataclysm, it received very few mechanical changes during the MoP Beta. With Frost already having been the de-facto spec for so much of Cataclysm, it wasn’t surprising to see most players gravitate towards it during Mists of Pandaria as well.
