Very good DK Dps Spec / Frost for Raids and heroics.

[Jardiare]

Okay well, first of all i never use to do as much damage as i do now. I was always 9-10 dps in raids now im in the top 4 mostly lower cause of casters and shit. well heres the spec if you have any questions please ask on comments also i have a spell rotation that tells you what spells to use and in what order. :P Thanks for viewing.


Death Knight Spec

yet this is better: WorldofWarcraft.com -> Info -> Classes -> Death Knight -> Talent Calculator

[Rabbel]

Yet I wonder why you troll a Frost DPS spec topid with your silly cookie-cutter Unholy build. Makes perfect sense.

WorldofWarcraft.com -> Info -> Classes -> Death Knight -> Talent Calculator

That is the best UNHOLY DK spec.. Zika, the spec you made is horrendous for PvE.

WorldofWarcraft.com -> Info -> Classes -> Death Knight -> Talent Calculator

That is the best DK Raiding spec with currently the most DPS potential, not to mention it's getting buffed when the patch comes out Tuesday, too.

Regarding that Dual Wield spec, you can take 2 points out of Virulence and put them in Epidemic if you have the hit rating.

[Chudini]

I would also preffer this one


Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft

This build is based on critical hits. The rotation I use: Icy touch, Plague Strike, Heart Strike, Heart Strike, Death coil, Obliterate. Allways have the disseases up to improve Heart Strike's damage. Obliterate is only used when the disseases time is low and you have another 2 Cold & Unholy/Death runes to upgrade them. Use Rune Strike when able. The dancing rune weapon is only used when de runic power is at 100% and then we use the Empower rune weapon to gain all the runes and 25 runic power to dps with the Flying weapon.

I have a DK with this spec:

Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft

Its a good one. I made it when I was only doing like 800 dps (horrible) and now I'm up to about 1400. Though I still think thats low for a DK.

This is the DK I have, my gear isn't fantastic. Do you guys think I should be doing more DPS than 1400?

DK: The World of Warcraft Armory

Thanks for any help you guys can give me. I'm basically trying to get better DPS than a buddy of mine whos a Fury warrior and always beats me in DPS. I do heroics but not to much raiding yet anyway.. I will once my guild gets larger though.

1400 is way too low. People got numbers like that in level 70. But it's a good thing that you are interested in your dps and want to improve.

I remember myself doing less than 2000dps too when I dinged 80. Yesterday my dps was between 2600 and 2700 when I tried it at the boss dummy in the Ebon Hold. You might want to get some better gear, too. For some reason neither of your links work for me. WoWHead seems to be down and armory doesn't find anything either so it's hard to comment on your gear or spec. I use 2h unholy myself. DW was somewhat nerfed in 3.0.8 so it's not as superior to the 2h specs as it was in last patch. I'll check this thread later if the links work.

[naxxgor]

Okay, now the links work. Your spec seems like the usual blood spec. However, I recommend taking Hysteria, it's an awesome buff. It's usually best if you use it on the best DPS warrior in your raid/group as it benefits them the most (big % of damage is physical). Well, if you really want to beat your fury warr friend, don't use it on him Also, it's worth noting that at the moment Obliterate is bugged and doesn't generate runic power (unless it has been fixed in the last few hours).

As fas as I know, blood spec starts to scale with better gear. You might want to try unholy spec as a comparison. Much of its damage is magic and it's also rather easy to play. Here's a pretty basic build:

Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft

The rotation is pretty simple but you can practice it on a dummy if it feels unfamiliar.

PS->IT->BS->BS->SS->RP dump->SS->SS->SS->RP dump. Rinse and repeat. As the RP dump you should use Unholy Blight, but if it's already running and has more than 3 secs left, use death coil (or 2) instead. You also get a perma-ghoul with this spec, be sure to use it on the bosses too. You might wonder about the unholy aura, but the truth is that it's a BIG dps boost in every single fight where you need to move (at least 90% of fights). Maybe not for you alone, but for the whole raid.

If you aren't really low on gold, I recommend getting enchants for your gear, too. Also, I can't see Rune of the Fallen Crusader on your weapon, if it isn't a bug then you should do it asap. For future gearing, you should gear for strength as much as possible, but especially in raids hit rating is a great stat, too. Be sure not to get it over 9% though, after that it's a waste. But if you need to make choices like "str or crit?", always choose str.

Well, here's my two cents. Feel free to ask if you need any more help.

[deatholis]
