Death Knights

[Vad]

Well, I made a Draenei DK. I really hope it goes well. My biggest draw toward humans was the +Rep gain, since I don't really wanna grind for rep, but oh well. The +ToHit will be nice, as well as my heal.

Spec Blood, and you'll heal yourself with your attacks.

[Kole T. Merr]

So are you saying that I should switch to a Human? The specialty with Swords will be nice. I haven't actually played with the character, just created it so I'm not necessarily against recreating.

[Kaden]

He's just saying that Blood does a pretty decent job of healing itself.

[Ashe]

Personally, while the Draenai 1% hit is nice (and the Shadow reduction thing), Gift of the Naaru scales horribly.

Let me put it this way, to explain it.

My Shaman is angry that they are changing Gift of the Naaru to be an instant cast heal for the amount that it does. Note: Its not getting lowered in power, it just is sooo weak that it now heals for that amount instantly instead of over time.

Why is my shaman mad that a heal is becoming instant? Because its classified as a Holy spell, so I would use it against rogues and warriors to bait them into using something like Kick or Pummel that could "lock" me out of using that spell's school for like 10 secs or whatever. Meaning if they kick that, my shaman is unable to use Holy spells for a bit. Guess what? Everything else is Nature school. I do it because I don't want to get kicked on a Healing Wave and lose my entire Nature school (and thus effectively stand there doing nothing). So being instant hurts me.

Note, at no point in this did I mention caring about actually getting the end result of attempting it. However, it IS great when leveling. In the lower levels. Below 40.

So that opening quest chain was freaking amazing. The whole phasing thing tripped me out. One second it was a nice happy little village, and then I go back down and it's suddenly infested with undead and whatnot. Also, flying the wyvern was probably the most fun I have ever had playing WoW.

[Ashe]

Most of Wrath evolves like that. Well, a good portion, I wouldn't say most as in nearly every quest.

[Kole T. Merr]

Sweet. Well, fyi, my character's name is Xaldorra, on Arygos

[Kazuya]

Mine's Anzuma, same server. I'm riding the Wyrm now, destroying ballistas.

[Kole T. Merr]

Ok. So since all the talents and everything for DKs are gonna be rearranged and changed for 3.1, I found a sight with a 3.1 talent/glyph calc. I'm thinking of one of these two options.

Blood:

Unholy:

[Kole T. Merr]

And the unholy one can use a little tweaking...I probably should put a point or two into Runic Power Mastery

[Vad]

Nevermind.

This is pretty close to what I used to level to 80.

Dancing Rune Weapon is insane until the patch.

Here's the suggested attack chain as well:



And then just use Death Coil whenever you can.

[Kole T. Merr]

Since they're going to be rearranging all the talents and everything, are they going to give people freespecs?

[Ashe]

Yes, they kind of have to.

[Kole T. Merr]

So really I can just spec whatever and try stuff out right now, and if I hate it, I can change it in a couple weeks for free. Sounds good to me. I'll probably try an unholy build first.

[Kaden]

I'm speccing Unholy.

Have no intention of changing it.

[Orion]

Unholy are arseholes in PVP. They're damn DPS plate wearers, which means they deal AND absorb an amazing amount of damage, and then when they're dead, they freaking come back to life! >=============O

[Kole T. Merr]

Yeah, I accidentally ran into an elite mob last night, and totally forgot I had that talent. I came back as a ghoul, and then proceeded to die again. It was pretty epic. I am totally grooving on unholy, and I think I'll like it even more after the update.

[Waffuru]

I hope you're still leveling your other character too. Nobody teams with DKs. =(

[Kole T. Merr]

My hunter's still at 55, my DK is at 60.
