    I think it's really essential to mention rotation/prioritization when it comes to PvP guide. Especially speaking about DK, it's really important to know when and how to keep diseases, how to make them unspellable, "the ideal rotation", burst etc. The information you provided here can be found in multiple PvP guides or in Nibbai's videos. If a newbie DK player watched your guide, they have no idea how to play the class.

    Yeah if a brand new player who's never hit chains of ice before they need a different guide that will be 10+ minutes in length. I could throw that in this but then I'm splitting people who are brand new dk babies and then everyone else who needs to know useful dk information. And there is a lot of misinformation out there

    i don't think trefort90 was talking about the baby stuff. this video IS the baby stuff. it's easy to look at pictures of talents and glyphs and professions and copy them. anyone can enter the arena with all the right talents and glyphs. what determines whether you win is how you play the game. the combat decisions you make. not equipping the items that say "Class: Death Knight" on them.

The warrior variant (thundercleave) the warrior needs some pve gear but early on in wrath there isn't as much pve gear available so it's not hurt as bad as later on.

    Hi Apex, could we please request three versions of gear (PreBIS arena )(BIS Arena w/ pvp gear) (BIS Arena w/ pve gear) for s5? Looks like eightyupgrades got setup. I am rolling DK because an irl friend is rolling HPAL and I saw your videos re 2v2,3v3,easy comps, and effectiveness for no PVE gear (I hate raiding!). Also, in your warrior video, I get the feeling you suggest JC+BS over JC+Eng. Here you suggest JC+Eng to slightly edge over BS. Is there a specific reason the decision is different? Thanks! Lastly, what level do the professions have to be to reap the rewards? 400? or 375?

Just swap pve pieces with pvp alts or BoE's and then for Prebis pretty much the same thing just downgrade from the arena gear to honor. Rewards for most profs are 400. BS for sure is 400 - But JC might be higher I don't recall exactly what was required

  • @apexanalysis8348

    Жыл бұрын

    Never use obliterate. Death coil being ranged with talents like morbidity + dark death glyph + death coil sigil + fast globals with unholy presence make it absolutely deadly. So rune strike will basically never be used. Blood boil never use in arenas, rarely in bgs, Pestilence will be used quite a bit to spread whenever possible that won't break CC. Blood tap is useful for death striking in a clutch situation or whatever is needed at the moment. Corpse explosion just use to help land a kill with heavy burst

    I say do what you like as that is more important than min-maxing unless your goal is to do as well as possible. Personally I think shadowmeld works far better on classes/specs that are ranged as they have more time to react and shadowmeld things like chaos bolt, lava burst, death coil, etc since if you're up in their face as a melee you can't react with meld as quick. Shadowmeld is probably the coolest racial out of all races as well!

But DK/shadow is a very fun comp that I have a good amount of xp with. It struggles with a lot of the comps that shadow/rogue can just roll over but in 3s they are about = in their best comps. So up to you and easy to play both even as DK gearing isn't as intense as rogues.

    Hey Apex! There's a lot of buzz right now in the PvE scene about Unholy going dual wield over 2H and it simming at much higher dps. Do you think there's any viability to this in PVP as well? Really interested on your thoughts!

    That is crazy to hear, but that would be very interesting to see if that were to happen as I'm sure it would spill into pvp as well. I do think there is viability as there isn't any talent in particular that gives a bonus to 2her damage for unholy(besides the talent in blood) but we can't afford to get that with any good pvp build. So definitely something I need to look into/look out for. Thanks for this!

In PvP you will be kited at all times, and your white damage is not going to account for the majority of your damage unless your opponents are brain dead. Thus, you want the increased burst damage from a 2h weapon (higher front end weapon dmg for strikes)

    Hey Glad it helped, unholy is by far the best spec. Frost can be good too but blood is not very strong. It's main plus is just having much higher survival than the other 2 specs. But it's damage is just a fraction of what the other two can do. In the original Wrath DK's were busted early on and they could play all sorts of specs. But since we will start on the final patch which was after many dk nerfs - unholy will be #1
