Death Knight

So how do you fight against this new class? A class with so many defensive mechanics yet at the same time can put out a beastly amount of dps on the battlefield. Since a majority of DK’s are unholy, I will give a more thorough aspect of the unholy DK powers…because if DK’s are any other spec you can just sit on them. There’s a few things you should learn when you face a DK. I will explain it from my point of view. Click “read full article” for the details. (more…)

Death Knights Part 4 – Unholy Spec

Death Knight

Death Knight Unholy Rune

This spec deals mostly with diseases and magic. Very powerful in both pve and pvp currently the most favored spec. Has excellent AoE and single target dps.

Abilities:

Plague Strike - This instant strike causes blood plague…which is another disease that can boost scourge strike/blood strike/heart strike damage. But this isn’t where its potent…its ability to remove HoTs is what makes this super powerful. The word says REMOVE not DISPEL so it works 100% against dispel resistance mechanics…for example on a druid with 3 stacks of lifebloom…if he gets plague striked he will lose that stack of lifebloom and wont get the tick off. Crazy? Hell ya it is. But wait there more! Every time the blood plague ticks it will have a 25% chance to remove ANOTHER HoT.

Frost Spec

PvP: Click here for talent tree

After much debate and respec’ing…I felt the most comfortable build for PvP is this one…This gives me the most control and allows me to obtain up to 6 death runes. 6 death runes means that you can spam plenty of Chains of Ice(CoI) and Icy touches(IT). The extra 10 yards is amazing and makes it feel as if you are a mage in plate, even if people blink or intercept away, you are still able to hit them with you spells and kite them. It was really hard for me to decide whether I should get Chilbains vs Death Rune Mastery. After a bit of testing I concluded that the 30% wasn’t worth it…it was like half a daze…I’d rather be able to spam CoI on someone than have a ghetto 30% slow.

Ready for WOTLK Launch!

Tue, Nov 11, 2008

Tomorrow night’s launch of the WoW expansion WOTLK is one of the most anticipated nights in this gaming calendar, with many people planning to line up for the midnight release at many gaming stores. As with the BC expansion, there are certainly many things to do the first day Wrath is released.

The race to level 80 will certainly be on many minds as people race to reach the level cap as fast as possible. Others will look to be the first to level up and master the new hero class Death Knight. The majority of people will probably take the time to enjoy the new scenery and instances; this, of course, is assuming they’ll be able to log on during the high-traffic and server-crashing days that are a certainty in the near future.

Personally, I’m ready to see the new battlegrounds and test out new compositions for arena. What are you most excited about?
