I think most people see "classic" as referring to the old version of Azeroth, before the entire world and most models were updated with new textures. I just can't see them trying to capitalise on an expansion that wasn't widely liked, even by the people like myself that played all the way through in a progress guild. I do kind of wish they would introduce transmog in wotlk classic though because it gets boring only ever seeing recent tier sets.

I can appreciate the immense of work and time put into this guide but Frost DK's will almost certainly want to go blood subspec until far later into the game as opposed to UH subspec. Once a Frost DK does swap into UH subspec with end-game gear and tons of ArP, they'll want to put points into BCB which isn't done here.

I’m gonna be as nice as possible with this critique. It’s obvious you put a lot of work into this, which should be applauded. However, there are multiple issues with several parts of your guide. 1. Frost DKs are playing the Blood Subspec for the majority of the game, until they have gathered enough ArP in late ToGC / early ICC. 2. You did not include Indestructible Potions for Frost DK. This is your best potion until you make the switch to Unholy Subspec, as the added armor is close to 100 AP due to the Bladed Armor talent. 3. Your suggested Unholy Subspec for Frost DK is wrong. The biggest reason why you dip into Unholy is for Blood-Caked Blade. You ALWAYS want to max this. 4. There are no reliable sources that suggests DW Unholy will outperform 2H. Info regarding DW is based on private server knowledge, which is unreliable at best. No one can feasibly conclude which is better, until we have a working Sim Tool.

@@Rimkriger1 If you’re playing 2H Unholy yes, but dual-wield unholy sims much higher than 2H until heroic ICC, where it starts to equal out. This is because Scourge Strike, or any physical based strike with a slow 2H weapon is poor until high crit and armor penetration. Same reason why Fury sims low in Naxx and Ulduar. That being said, the 1h strength options are limited to tank weapons in Naxx, but you can also go for fast a go for fast agility swords because your primary damage will be autos procing blood caked blade and DnD on a 50% lower CD since you’re not using Scourge Strike. As for Blood tanking, this mace will be BiS until Ulduar where there are options with higher stamina, expertise (needed for parry/haste cap later and getting dodge capped so your Death Strike heals don’t get dodged) and you’ll start to find 2H weapons with 1-2 sockets for stacking stamina or fixing your hit/expertise. For a Blood tank, always take the highest item level pieces as they’ll have more stamina, unless the upgrade puts you under hit/expertise cap, which can simply be fixed by hybrid stamina gems and armor enchants.

26:45 on a pale horse is overrated. You get 15% speed when you need to travel just by switching to unholy presence, granted you get it at lvl 70 tho.. keep that in mind. You can also just spend the 2 points into improved unholy presence just to gain that 15% passive speed witch DOES NOT stack with on a pale horse. You will just loose 5% movement speed witch is negligible.
