Re: [ Classes] DK best DPS spec
Why would you go 52/0/19? I've only seen 51/2/18 or 50/0/21, but I can't think of a single DPS talent in Blood that requires >51 points. |

| Not quite in a place to agree with ya there yet. My guild's being quite anal with their 10-man progression before they're hitting Ulduar, so I can't tell you if there's anything really fresh yet (and this server's also pretty inept at fielding PUG Naxx 25 man, so I'm not holding my breath for PUG Ulduar). But, from what I've heard, basically the die-hard raiders got their wish. |

Re: DK DPS Help
Alright. If you want to go Blood DPS, here's your choices:
51/2/18 - Dancing Rune Weapon
»www.wowhead.com/?talent#jfVMVh0I···c:GLIMmV
50/0/21 - Unholy Blight
»www.wowhead.com/?talent#jfVMVh0I···z:GLIMmV
Now, there are some aruable point mixes in Blood, namely Bloodworms & Vampiric Blood. Some people like putting these into Rune Tap, Mark of Blood, or any combination of which, but everything else is pretty cookie-cutter standard. I use the choices I list there (Vampiric Blood & Bloodworms) because I don't finding myself needing multiple "oh s***" buttons. The extra DPS & mitigation of Bloodworms were worth it in my opinion.
As for which of the two specs to use, again, it's your call. It comes down to playstyle and possibly Glyph avaliability. Do you like constantly having steady damage up (Unholy Blight) or mass temporary damage every minute or two (Dancing Rune Weapon)? Hit the target test dummies and find out which works best for you. Personally, I went DRW because it times very well for my uber DPS macro (Hysteria + DRW + DPS Trinket).
Also, as a side note, for the Unholy Blight spec, wether or not you want to max Necrosis or Ravenous Dead is argueable. +4% auto attack damage vs. +1% Strength is really too close to call.
PS. Feel free to link your armory if you want me to give it a gander. Also, if you're running Blood DPS, please do use the appropriate cycles.
PS > IT > HS > HS > DS > DCx1 -or- UB
DS > HS > HS > HS > HS > DCx2
Massage the death coils according to your rune cooldowns at the time, and never deathcoil yourself under 25 runic energy (screws up the +% Death Strike damage glyph bonus). |

Sterling, VA | But unless you are in a hardcore raiding guild that dictates what spec you choose, play with what you like. Unholy *IS* nice for effortless AoE, though. |

Hey, i've read most of this thread and have been trying out a few specs.. Currently my spec is the new favored 17/51/3 spec.
I personally like it but the WWS is whats unsettling me.
I'm pushing roughly 3.5-4 in 25mans which to me isn't enough with my current gear..
My armory is
»www.wowarmory.com/character-shee···Babyfear

IT > PS > BS > BT > OB > OB > FS (rune dump)
Who wants to help me  ? |

| Go to this site, »www.talentchic.com/ ,pick you class and choose the most popular build. Problem solved.
Quoted from their website
"How We Find The Most Popular Talent Builds
To find the most popular talent builds, the system scans both the US and EU WoW armory sites to find the talent points chosen by characters. It then sorts those according class, spec and playstyle and collates the results.
We don’t just look at any old character though! We have spent the last few months finding the best players in all parts of the game (according to their gear). Since patch 3.0.2 released, we have furiously been scanning the armory to find what talent specs these top players have chosen.
While we’re looking at gear, we also record each character’s playstyle (where most of their gear has come from) because a talent spec can change between PvE and PvP. You can use this as a filter to find the most appropriate build for you.
We continually scan the armory and update the popularity score of the most popular builds hourly. If you’d like to keep track of changes to the most popular build for your class and spec, please click on the “Watch this list for changes” link on the main site.
Currently only the top level 70 players are scanned. Once Wrath of the Lich King is released, and the level cap has increased to 80, this site will also keep track of the leveling builds used on the way to 80, as well as the level 80 raiding and PvP builds." |
