    What has changed

    Patch 12.0.7 (June 16th)

    While Frost Death Knight receives no direct changes in 12.0.7, there are a couple of introductions that need addressing.

    • With Rotmire comes the addition of new, higher item level Sporefused Gear.
    • The Omnium Folio introduces a long-term power gain for players. Unlocking this will grant players new powers over the first few weeks, lasting throughout the rest of Midnight.

    More information on both of these systems can be found in the Gearing section of the guide.

    Patch 12.0.5 Hotfixes (May 5th)

    • 5% increase to all damage.

    12.0.5 Changes for Frost Death Knights

    Frostwyrm's Fury’s Recall from our Apex Talent is no longer on the GCD

    Echoing Fury no longer triggers off Frostwyrm's Fury, instead of off Reaper's Mark.

    Frostbroods Chosen’s Haste buff provided by the recall now provides the full haste, for half the time, rather than half haste for the full duration.
