Death Knights

• Death Coil damage has been reduced by roughly 10%.

Talent Specializations

• Bone Shield now has 4 charges, up from 3.
• Crimson Scourge has been redesigned slightly. Instead of a 50/100% chance to make the next Blood Boil free when Plague Strike is used on a target with Blood Plague, the talent now gives a 5/10% chance to provide a free Blood Boil when the death knight lands any melee attack on a Blood Plagued target.

• If Death Strike is used while a Blood Shield is already active, the new absorb will stack with the old one instead of replacing it.
• Scarlet Fever now applies via Blood Plague, rather than Blood Boil.
