Re: 3.2 DK Discussion Yeah...trash is meaningless however it is always nice to pop it on a boss just to add to your threat...especially in my case because I need all the constant threat I can get because of my lag. Hitting a button and waiting 5+ seconds for something to happen is not so good when you're tanking  That's the main reason I don't really try to tank anything of substance right now....as soon as I get home though it's on! |

| Well, tanking notwithstanding... I don't even tank unholy any more--blood currently rules single-target tanking because of the added threat from self-healing and the HP pool against raid bosses.
I'm wondering how Unholy dps will fare on bosses in 3.2. I'm going to have to hop on the PTR if I get any free time this weekend. |

| True,true. I have yet to try a blood build. I have always went Unholy 97% of the time or Frost for the rest. One of these days I may get bored and try out a Blood build just for shits and giggles.
As far as the Unholy DPS...I don't think you will notice a "huge" change at all. Of course the biggest nerf being the UB will have the largest effect in my opinion. I guess it will all depend on how it scales out with the Death Coil. Also I think the new Threat of Thassarian talent will really up your DPS if you choose to DW. I'm just curious as to where it will fall into the Frost tree.
Let us know how it works out  |

One of these days I may get bored and try out a Blood build just for shits and giggles. I've used Unholy for a long time as DPS in raids and heroics. One really bored day, i decided to test out blood DPS. Knowing my trash DPS will fall a little i attempted a Heroic, and noticed that my overall DPS went from 2.8k dps to 3.6k dps. And that was Overall, so i was doing significant more dps on average. What made me decide to go Blood was after i won the roll on the Ironsoul 2handed mace and i had a massive amount of armor penetration gear, which is a stat best suited for Blood (since it's mostly physical dmg).
As for PvP, i'm still using 2hander in frost, and i still seem to do fine. Even though frost srtike can now be dodged, blocked or parried i still get a lot of 6k crits and over 8k crits with Obliterate. |

| Hmmm...sounds tempting, I think I may go ahead and spec blood tonight for something to do. I have my duel spec but only put points into one of them for now since I am not really doing anything but helping my alts on my other account level  Soooo...I think I will try that out tonight and see how I like it. Of course I am going to have to wait another month or so to really test it out but I can at least get the feel of it for now. |
