This is my first post so be easy on me
all taken from : Patch 3.1 spec for Death Knight « TyphoonAndrew’s - Eye of the Storm
DPS: http://talent.mmo- champion.com/?dea...&version=9757# which chooses Unholy Blight (UB) over Dancing Rune Weapon (DRW).
DPS notes:
* This is for PvE DPS, not PvP.
* I have not been enjoying the DRW of late, as some fights I don’t think I get the full benefit of it unless you’re standing still just pinging abilities. UB is used more often which I think gives it more versatility. I certainly liked UB when I was Unholy.
* UB is also better for AoE than DRW, and I get frustrated when I get outpaced by Warriors using Whirlwind and all the other AoE heavy classes (Mages, Warlocks, etc). Some fights as DPS you’re standing in the middle of the hell storm of mobs, so UB takes full advantage.
* I love Hysteria and the Improved Blood Aura in my current blood spec, so the choice between Unholy DPS and Blood DPS was easy.
* With the Death Strike glyph, I’ll have to remember to keep 25 Runic Power around as much as possible.
Tank: http://talent.mmo- champion.com/?dea...5&version=9757 which is a pretty standard Frost Tank spec.
Tank notes:
* It makes the most sense to me that Frost would be strong for Tanking, from a roleplaying perspective, and I made the choice of which tree to use basically because of this.
* I could drop 2-H-Weapon in the Blood tree, and grab some other stuff. Acclimation in Frost, Butchery in Blood for the extra RP (I’m a RP whore), or Lichborne for the oh-shit factor. Not sure, but happy to see how this plays initially. But I do like hitting mobs with a huge 2H weapon.
General
* I read almost everything on EJ, Deathknight.info, wowinsider, and the first few pages of Google searches, and could not find any information that was even close to what SJ has put together. Even if he is wrong by a few talent points here and there, its still the best post on DK specs I’ve seen.
