B-TIER Frozen Obliterator
Meaty Killing Machine Obliterate crits, Remorseless Winter chills, and Pillar of Frost ramps.
How it feels
Sources disagreed between low and high rankings, landing Frost DK squarely in the B-tier middle. When Pillar of Frost is active and Killing Machine procs light up, Obliterates hit with massive crunch.
Peak moment
Popping Pillar of Frost and unleashing consecutive Killing Machine Obliterates with sound effects echoing through the instance.
The clunk
Breath of Sindragosa downtime penalty: falling out of Breath abruptly feels punishing and sluggish.
What players say
Community tier B.
Why people love it: Mixed signals.
Why people quit it: Players say they miss the old Frost Death Knight.
Popularity: Varies.
