[Epic] Death Knight Frost DPS Guide!

[andykh]

DnD? Frost? Stamina? All those words go very well together.. When attributed to the word "Tanking".. No, seriously, The day Frost DPS works out, I will roll Prot Warrior DPS

[ChildeRoland]

The day frost works out!? Don't think you know something, know something! I pull out 6k dps on Yogg Saron, my overall raid dps is 5.8k, don't come here and say it suck. Also, I will change some details of the guide when I got time, Ulduar resetted today, gotta clear.

[andykh]

I didn't say when frost works out("No, seriously, The day Frost DPS works out"), even after all nerfs, frost is good.. To tank - And altho you might have find a way-around to DPS with it, it is not made for DPS, ofc, you have good gear, you have good group, I give you all that but if you want DPS you got blood or unholy following your playstyle or w/e.. It might work for you, you might have discovered the spec of the year, but this is not what frost is meant/best for and I reccomend it to nobody.

Um, what? Frost is great DPS, dunno what you're doing wrong with it. Everyone over at EJ seems to think so too.

[reveng_]

but we care, ok? Why sould we care about what you care for, when we know what we care for ourselves? Flaming FTW!

Then don't start flaming if you can't handle it. You started the war, and I responded.

Andykh, you are the stupidest shit ever, seriously, I see 4 out of 5 dps DKs going frost now, you think that is because it is bad? Unholy: Good AoE Dps, ok single target. Blood: Good single target, sucky if there is mroe than two mobs. Frost: Good at Single Target (OB and FS), and also good versus AoE targets (HB).


Lol at post above, teh Dramah.


Don't double post.

[andykh]

So you are saying that the only good PvE spec is frost, wether tanking or DPS, that every DK in a PvE raid should be frost? I agree about that for tanking, but DPS? I dont know a shit about PvP but I in PvE I am sure no raid expects all their DKs to be frost...
If indeed it is then nobody on my server nor me have got a single idea about DKs

[reveng_]

No-one said all DKs should be Frost. Max is one for IIT. Atleast one more should be UH for Ebon Plague.

[ChildeRoland]

Our guild got 2 DKs (both frost), and a Moonkin druid for the SP (same as Ebon Plague). We Also takes a Enh. Shaman sometimes for the buff. Frost deals usually more damage than the other specs. Unholy gives 13% Spelldmg (druids as well) and Blood exists for 10% AP, that shamans also gives.

I don't think this has been mentioned yet, and it's a HUGE part of frost DPS: Weaving frost strikes. Killing Machine is a PPM talent, and so FS must be used whenever it's up (yes, it's a priority), lest the killing machine proc be wasted (proc while a previous proc is still up, or it's used up on an icy touch).
