Death Knight discussion

[Baadshah]

Synti, I do have a log of that week.

I am posting it here: http://www.worldoflogs.com/reports/5a0xiy2zkxdgzi30/

It was a sloppy night, and we could have done better. We wiped once on Dreamwalker and called it, as people were tired.

And yes, Synti is 100% correct on Unholy dominating Lady Deathwhisper. It gets even better in hard mode, because the strategy calls for adds to be brought towards the boss. Hence we have tonnes of targets to spread diseases to and AoE. I like maintaining diseases constantly on Deathwhisper and using her as a spreading beacon of sorts.

For Marrowgar, Blood is the best, I'll admit. I even like Blood for Rotface because of the movement. It's the Deathbringer and Festergut results that really had me confused.

A question to synti , I noticed that you are using engineering as a proffesion. The gnomish battle chicken that applys the Battle Squawk buff. I heard that this was infact changed to not stack with Imp Icy talons or wind fury is this true? looks quite awsome if it wasnt changed

Thanks

Also Synti, while I have your attention, I'd like your input on another query of mine. This is with regards to Glyph of Disease and carrying damage forward. After I heard that GoD will carry forward %damage increases and crit rating, I tried to incorporate this into my tactics.
While I normally used a complete priority system, I've begun to try a sort of opening rotation in order to try and gain the effects of GoD as quickly as possible.

Hence I begin with Diseases > BS x 2 and SS. This results in both Desolation and Advantage being active, giving a total of 8% damage increase (I'm assuming they stack).

So with my next set of FU runes, I just apply diseases again to gain the souped up benefits, and then Pestilence about 3 Blood Runes later when the diseases are about to run out. After this, Pestilence just comes in whenever diseases are about to fall.
I also try to have our rogues do ToTT on me within the first 8 seconds of the fight so I can use it to further buff diseases.

When (if ever) I get Deathbringer's Will, I'm thinking I'll reapply diseases again during a +Crit chance proc, assuming the other buffs are also active.

So the question behind this overly long essay is: Do you think I am doing it right? Is this definitely a net DPS gain?

Thanks again for putting up with all of our questions and taking the time to answer them!

synti,u didnt answer my question (maybe it was so nab 4 ya :().
I'll try to reanswer.
How does an opening cinderglacier rotation (with frost or unholy spec) looks like.
I mean an unholy rotation 2h,to apply cinderglacier then weapon swap then roll disease,and a dw frost opening rotation,to apply cinderglacier then switch back to youre fc ri weaps.

Please refrain from posting this kind of stuff into the discussion thread. There's a separate thread for these.

[Necross50]

So, due to a recent discussion on WoW forums I'd like to post a suggestion for how to open as unholy, when you are to roll as powerful diseases as possible (assuming you get ToTT on pull).
http://forums.wow-europe.com/thread.htm ... 0531&sid=1

What we've concluded in the above mentioned thread is that the best opener as it is now is:
DnD+AotD (Prepull) - grants you Advantage, 3% damage.
BS - Grants you Desolation, 5% damage.
PS - Grants you Blood Plague, which at least gives you 10% FF damage through Rage of Rivendaire.
IT - Applies Frost Fever.
(If no other DK applied BP and your rogue doesn't have ToTT glyph or the unglyphed ToTT was insanely awesomely timed) PS - Grants you 10% disease damage to BP through Rage of Rivendaire.

Any comments are welcome.

Hello DK users in Paragon. I'm Korean WoW user who is playing a Tanking DK in a Korean server-Guldan and I just want to ask some questions about Tanking tactics and item settings on Syndragosa. However, I've seen all of your DK talents in your guild an I couldn't find anyone who is playing as a Tanker. So, if one of you guys are good at Tanking, please reply on my comment so that I can ask many many questions on DK Tank.

To give you brief information about my talent and item settings I've uploaded my spec.

Hey Synti,

Why do you use flexweave over 23 haste to cloak?

Also in the frostmourne room are you hbing and death gripping as much as possible?

Thanks for the help

Hello Paragon DK's

I was checking you on Armory and saw that you all use a Frost dps specc. And Synti was using two frost speccs with 2 points difference.
Does DW frost really beat Unholy atm. or is it for a specific fight you all go Frost?
I also saw you where way over the hitcap, is it itemization or actuall need that makes you get that much hit?

side question: How much in general can you push on a single target spank fight like Fester or the like?
