Hi, nice video, dunno why, but for people is easier to follow the traits that you are watching for the next level if it comes with more detailed information about lvls beyond. Its not just the talents screen with no symbol reffering to them. Dropping a lot of usefull information, will be great with screen images explanations, or help maching our brain... because lots of people do not know what are you talking about, because you know a lot of things but we don't... Images are the best way to step by step go foward with people following you in every step. Thts other reason to keep people with eyes interested in usefull and meaningful things.

Surrounds the Death Knight in an Anti-Magic Shell, absorbing 75% of the damage dealt by harmful spells (up to a maximum of 50% of the Death Knight's health) and preventing application of harmful magical effects. Damage absorbed by Anti-Magic Shell energizes the Death Knight with additional runic power. Lasts 5 sec. Read the last part of this energizes the Death Knight with additional runic power! I always pop this with horns of winter leads to increase In threat and dps

@ninjabros2 7 ай бұрын

you talk about some rune strike macros in your discord but I cant seem to use the link. what were these? something about staying above 40 runic power

Hi, Im following your DK frost tank spec. I get that I have to start with DaD then HB then BB then BB then DaD.. But where do I put the plagues in ? After first rotation or when ? I mean like Icy Touch and Plague strike..? Thanks for the memo :)

When you talk about spending runes after opener depending on the situation, what are the right way to spend them? What is the max self-heal vs max threat vs max dps rotation?

@Slashoom 9 ай бұрын

Threat=IT spam. Heal=DS, Blood tap, vamp blood, etc. Max DPS would be BS or BB depending.

I probably didn't catch it from the guide, but what is the rotation for frost dk single target? If someone could tell me i would be grateful.

@Slashoom Жыл бұрын

You would basically follow more of a Frost DK single target rotation but use Death Strike when you need to heal rather than Oblit. Use your KM procs on frost strike for more threat as you normally would.

@Potimus_Ripme Жыл бұрын

Do you think it's really worth giving five points to gain 5% dodge? personally I have 28 or 27 now and if I turn on trinked it's 32. For comparison Paladin for example gets from activating holy shield and from libram up to 40% Dodge. five points is a lot And 1% per point at 25% base is not very much. (may have confused the Dodge with the paladin's block, not sure now how it was)

You can, its not bad and I remember Rugs talking about it being underrated. I prefer vamp blood personally, but glyphs aren't that great outside of glyph of disease.

You say in rotation "Death and Decay 10s before pull". That did not make sense to me as death and decay only lasts for 10s therefore it'll be gone when you perform pull.

Aaaaand no Unholy... Boo. I had so much more fun as DW Unholy Tank and I main tanked our guild to Heroic ICC and Glory Achieve. Frost was super boring for me and Blood only a little more interesting than Frost. I'm so glad Blood tank in retail now is a mix of the two core mechanics from Blood and Unholy tanking, I just miss the DW option, Vengeance DH at least fills that void.

@derOLF 9 ай бұрын

I have played wotlk for over a dacade now, on the official servers and since 2013 on a private server and the blood DK Tank you are promoting is wrongly skilled and glyphed. Since when do Dk Tanks use the major Glyph for pestilence? You do have a strong ability "Rune Tab" that you want to glyph instead. And refreshing your diseases frequemtly grants you additional thread, that you loos by using prestilence. Furtermore why do you skill Blacked Ice and do not take Killing Machine, which grants you crits that do 200 % thread and why don't you skill "Frigid Deadplate" that is supirior🙃 to Anticipation because of ICC debuff?

@Slashoom 9 ай бұрын

I disagree. Glyph of pestilence opens up your rotation way more. Instead of having to refresh your diseases manually, you now can decide if you want to use runes for more threat or for other abilities. There is still room for glyph of Rune Tap if you like it. But it's not mandatory. Black ice is way more threat than killing machine. Killing machine only effects our IT, its a frost DPS talent. We do run frigid dreadplate. You should check out the official wowhead guide, this has all been theorycrafted already bro. But you do you! www.wowhead.com/wotlk/guide/classes/death-knight/blood/tank-talent-builds-glyphs-pve

ARMY IS NOT A SHEILD WALL. sayin this loud for the ppl in the back. you cant dodge or parry while channelling a spell, so all this does is keep you at baseline for melee attacks, the only way this could be considered a "wall" is if your using it to mitigate pure spell damage, but in that case AMS is 100x better

@Slashoom Жыл бұрын

Its not a shield wall, but it can be used as a defensive CD. A good example was on Sarth 3D when everything else was on CD.
