Unholy DK

[slo]

GLYPHS: Get Glyph of Plague Strike & Scourge Strike! There glyphs are what makes this build and rotations work so well.

Ok, so this build has all the strong talents from Unholy and Blood talents that go perfectly with them, i use three different rotations depending on the encounter.

Normal Mob (About same leveled as you.)

Plague Strike, Icy Touch, Scourge Strike -> Death Coil = Mob should be dead or die within 1-2sec.

Elite Mob (Remember to get your Bone Shield on and wait for rune to reactivate before you pull elite.)

With this build Blood Strikes will convert your blood runes into death runes allowing you to strike three Scourge Strikes or Death Strikes if you need health in row after first elite rotation.

Plague Strike, Icy Touch, Blood Strike, Blood Strike, Scourge Strike -> Death Coil
Scourge Strike, Death Strike, Death Strike -> Death Coil -> Death Coil

If you dont need to regenerate your health at the end of rotation you can hit Scourge Strikes instead of Death Strikes.

Multiple Mob (AoE)

Plague Strike, Icy Touch, Pestilence, Death and Decay -> Unholy Blight
Blood Boil, Blood Boil, Corpse Explosion, Corpse Explosion, Corpse Explosion, Corpse Explosion

Hit Death Strikes to regenerate your RP/Health if needed and use Summon Gargoyle.
Remember to renew Unholy Blight if you have RP to spare & pop Bone Shield before pulling.

All rotations are tested and are suitable for solo or party/raid playing.

I hope this thread will answer some questions and help you guys being a succesful DSP Death Knight.

unholy is the best leveling spec

[snakecd]

I thought Frost was The best .

Frost is tanking... but I prefer unholy... becouse it can tank 2... I can solo 100k hp elites with my third death knight( on third realm)

I guess you still dont know shit about the DKs "Frost is tanking", thats exactly the same shit as "Where is your shield" seriously, which points make me tank better in frost? Mabye 8 Points thats it.

Regarding the build, Corpse Explosion is shit, 2nd you will never use your gargoyle when going AoE, youll only use it against elites or on Boss fights.

Thats the build you want to use while leveling, building up Unholy 1st then going into the Blood tree. (For me its like that since im on a PvP realm)
Always 1st on DPS, even when im Tanking!

Rotation: Single Mob: IT->PS->SS->BS->BS(Mob should be dead by now)->DC->DC
Elite: Same as above but dont use SS, put in a Death Strike instead, if youll even need healing, wont be the fact of matter though.
AoE: Start of with DaC->IT->PS->Pestilence->Unholy Blight->TARGET MOB WITH HIGHEST HP!!->Blood Boil->Blood Boil . If the Mobs aren't dead by now repeat it. To get HP up just use Death Strike.
Like that you can take on about 7 Mobs lol No Downtime at All, if youre on less then 30% HP just single target and IT->PS->DeathStrike->DeathStrike, and so on, should figure out the drill by then.


Tell me if you want it frapsed.

My2 cents

Nice spec but I think that frost rox for tanking, but i don't know when I can cast death'n'deacy in my rotation :

Single :
1) IT->PS->O->BS->BS
2) O->O->O (the best moment ^^)

Multi :
1) IT->PS->P->HB->BS
2) HB->O->HB

[Dori]

You start of with DaD in your Tanking rotation, like this

DaD->Taunt/Death Grip->IT->PS->and dunno the frost spells ^^ but thats the main rotation, you last ability you want to use is OB->DC
