<div class="blizzquote">We're doing our Cataclysm preview on the death knight changes later this week, but we knew one change risked overshadowing all the others, so we figured we'd go ahead and drop the proverbial Blood bomb today.

In Cataclysm, death knights will have a dedicated tanking tree, much like the other three tank classes. That tree will be Blood.

lol why cheer?
thats dumb
was cool being able to tank as any spec

 

[Salogel]

cause my fav spec is staying tank idc about the other weak, boring specs

You'll still be able to tank as any spec, just you'll have more access to cool tanking abilities and buffs in blood and less in the other two. It won't be a matter of trying to figure out what dps talents to take in order to get a decent tanking spec

i feel this change is necessary for blizz with regards to all spec being able to tank. As compare to a dedicated tanking tree, whenever they need to tweak talents across trees and stuff it will be much difficult for them because they need to consider more if it will cause unbalance issue for that class.

Its good for them, bad for the players.

Have to wait for the talent trees to find out... They could do like they do with feral and bloat it up with a ton of talents, some that only affect one form or another, some that do different things depending on which form your in. I hate the feral tree it's soooo bloated. This will be easier for the DKs that want to tank to pick between tanking talents instead of between tanking or dps talents, I think it will be a welcome change once the trees are released.

o it's necessary, try making a unique mastery bonus that works for both a tank and dps at 51 points into a tree.
