WoW: Patch notes for Patch 11.1 – How your class changes on Wednesday

WoW patch 11.1 – All class adjustments in detail

• DEATH KNIGHT
  • Developer comment: Currently, Frost and Unholy Death Knights are incredibly survivable and die significantly less often than any other tank specialization in the game. Given their history, it makes sense that Death Knights are incredibly tough, which is also reflected in their abilities. However, they currently just die too rarely. We assume that Frost and Unholy Death Knights will continue to be among the more survivable specializations, but at a more reasonable level.
