Why do you people always have to lash back when someone gives you a advice?
If you link a talent calculator it's alot easier for us to check the spec.

I don't know how to link those things. I just asked for some advice. If your going to take teh time to criticise me for not linking, you could of take the same time to help and answer the question. If you did not want to, you could of just not answerd.

since you dont know,

go here,
http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?deathknight

put in your talents, then at the top of the page is a link.
after you post a link i'll tell you whats up w/it.


and finally, you come on this forum asking for help then you treat the people you ask for help ignorantly. If you want to be a better player then you should work with the people on forums and not against them.

here is the link.


I was not treating anyone badly. All I said was I was hopeing for constructive answers. And most of the time, people take the time to be rude and just say go do something, instead of answering the question, just to be rude. And I just don't understand why would they waist the time to answer if they don't answer the question asked.

But anwyas thanks for showing me the place to link.

What's the purpose of the spec? Tank? PvP?

One thing I can immediately spot, you don't need death rune mastery, put those points somewhere else. There is no point to turning your frost/unholy runes into death runes as unholy.

Tank...

Where would you put those points?
#10 Nov 09 2008 at 9:52 AM Rating: Decent
If you're a tank drop death rune mastery, drop rune tap (you have healers, and if you need imp rune tap, you won't get far).

Actually I'm going to rearrange your whole spec. If you want a pure AoE tank spec, there's another thread going on for that specific thing, if you want an AoE unholy tank spec go look at that thread.

Here is a single target unholy tank spec:

how often are your blood runes on cool down? As i have not got to play a death knight i have no idea? so how often is blade barrior up? That is the reason i got reaping to turn to death runes so there would be no blood runes so blad barrior will always be up? Don't know if that works though?

well if you are playing correctly your runes should always be on cooldown, as for blood ones specifically, deep frost and unholy have talents to convert them into death runes, allowing them to be used for your big hits, so they tend to get used rather frequently.

Blood rune abilities,
Blood Strike (blood plague) 1B, should always be up
Pestilence (AoE plague spread and damage) 1B, will be used often as well,
Blood Boil (AoE damage), 1B, i'm not positive how often this gets used, but for AoE trash tanking its a useful ability, generally should get used before diseases go down
Strangulate (Silence, ranged) 1B for casters
Army of Dead and Death and Decay, 1B 1F 1U, AoD has situational use at lv 80, and D&D is used at the start of any aoe pull generally.

You're blood runes are your utility runes. you use them for building aoe threat and spreading diseases (which as an unholy AoE tank you have 3 of them). They also double as death runes for general use purposes, seeing as death strike, obliterate, scourage strike, and howling blast all use the 1U 1F rotation, this helps ease off your rune consumption of your direct damage runes, not to mention 1F is required for icy touch to spread frost fever, and 1U is used for plague strikes and a few other things. some abilities changed rune costs so i dont know all of them anymore.

Either way, 10% parry is huge, and those runes should be on cooldown from the start of the fight. I'd say 70-80% update, so it is a considerable amount of mitigation for a class that is known for its spiky mitigation
