dude. So helpful as a beginner blood DK. Super well explained and useful. Will be referring back to this many times to become more comfortable with the spec. Thanks for your efforts on this video. Definitely earned a sub and a thumbs up!

I just got into wow 3 weeks ago after playing RuneScape literally since 2004. Learning all the abilities has been and still is a lot to take in being new. My first account im going with is a blood dk and watching this video really helps me comprehend abilities a bit more than just spamming them as I’ve been doing haha. Thank you for this man

Thank you for the video. Haven't tanked in a while and was always Guardian Druid when I did. I feel like Blood is one of the tougher tanks to use but probably the most fun tbh

awesome video, I wish I could focus better on stuff like this. I need to watch this 100 times to understand it lol

I kind of ran a similar build, but I went more into DS dmg. With Rune of Sanguination, and the talent (forgot name) that makes DS hit increase blood plague dmg. I mixed the perfect amount of survivability with DMG output, and I'm always pulling 20-30k dps. It's really fun getting 30k DS hits (60k crits). Even more when DRW is active.. Im a healer, tank, and DPS all rolled into one. I really love the flexibility of the specs this expansion.

Hello, i hit that smash button ;) Ty for the tips and guides!

I find myself not using rune tap all the time and it makes me want to move on from it. When I don't have it I find myself wishing I did at curtain times of a fight. I'm so torn with that talent. I think I may not be using my runes as well as I can. I'm healing for 60-80k in a plus 10 and around 40-50k Ave on a 5+ mob pull. While sometimes starving for runic power to pump that much needed death strike. I really enjoyed this video and look forward to trying to use marrow less because that may be apart of my problem also. Old habits die hard.

Good video. I forgot about the talent that makes consuming bone shield do damage. That should help me do more damage :)

Thanks for the helpful video, i've been having a lot of trouble keeping threat on aoe packs on my blood dk tank compared to my prot paladin. I never really knew that tombstone could be used in such an offensive way. It should really help me keep threat better in those packs.

Is your whole UI ElvUI? Or are you using other plugins? Love the layout you have. Would love if you could share the profile? Thanks either way for your work!

Thanks for the video Maz, and really like the changes in DF for the better of the blood dk. I played dk when it first came to retail and play blood and frost in classic. Question, are the only threat generators now death grip and taunt? I know there's no more icy touch so wanted to ask. I just started building my blood dk in retail and looking for some guidance on best approaches with the changes. Looking forward to tanking with my favorite toon.

I really enjoy the Blood DK gameplay but I'm kinda slow and they have a lot of keybindings needed

Since when does hemostasis affect death and decay?

im new to the game, which runeforging do i put on my weapon? i cant find any info in any guide lol

Duuuuude what is that bone shield weak aura? So sick.

I won’t say it’s definitive, but I’ve seen a lot of number crunching showing marrow is still better than caress even though it’s 2 for 1 instead of 3 for 2. Reason is a lot of people only have 2 runes recharging at once and that’s a waste. Marrow let’s you get 3 recharging together

Such good advice about Anti magic zone, pretend it’s a personal. I tell my team before starting “I’m dropping AMZ on myself if you wanna stack cmon”

I like that bone combo with tombstone.

what are your addons and can we copy it ?

How can I show my bone shield stacks and Death and Decay duration without adding the entire weak auras? Thanks!!

i want that dnd tracker

can u link your tallent build ?

how do you do big pulls as bdk?

subscribing for info and cute boy

how can you play without Unholy Bond talent man? one of the best

Overall is a was an okay video. I would maybe recommend you have some sort of script or maybe go over some things prior to mentioning things. There were a couple times you said Death and Decay when you meant Deaths Caress. And at one point you said "Maintaining your Dancing Rune Weapon stacks" when you meant maintaining your bone shield stacks. So just could be very confusing to new BDK players. Also Marrowrend is a far better ability to maintain boneshield stacks than Deaths Caress. Deaths Caress is great to use initially on a pull to gather boneshield stacks if you are at 0 prior to engaging mobs.

Damn that's a long intro -.-

This is still too confusing. Maybe it's just me, but tanking shouldn't be this hard.

I've been in the PVP scene for so long that I decided to finally give PVE a try out of boredom and made a Blood DK to Tank, Im glad I chose to PVP first throughout all these years, Learning PVE is a literal joke to the above average and high end PVPER due to the fact that as a PVPER you already have gameplay performance and reaction to really shaky situations down packed and all you really need is just knowledge of the dungeon and raid fights and it's repetitive which makes it even easier because when you do a fight long enough you'll understand what comes next, As a PVPER you never know what you're getting into and the tables can turn at any second, Converting from PVP to PVE is a walk in the park, But from PVE to PVP? Heh, Good luck.
