Put on your t10 gear, the increased stats and armor penetration will do wonders for your threat. Armor pen with 4 pieces of tier 10 is your 3rd best threat stat after expertise softcap and hit cap(and not lacking behind by much). Also get your raidleader to kick the rogues and hunters in the groin for not using misdirects and tricks on you. I always the get first round of tricks and misdirects on the pull, which puts me comfortably ahead on threat.

Your rotation is fine as well, but always try to work on minimizing the amount of lacerates you do, while making sure it never falls off.

Never, armor pen is getting better, if you can stack much of it. So if you've got less, just set your focus on strength.

You need to go by you individual stats. Usually its around 900 ArPen rating (57% I believe)

Some of the DKs i asked also said it is nice and should be kept as long as possible. So I'm questioning myself if i'm missing something. Should I go for 2T10 as fast as possible or did I messed up with the translation of the Unholy Thread? :S

I think you might have messed up with the translation. When Consider says the bonus was ridiculous, he means that it was very good. If you look at the stat weight table, you can see that 4PT9 is worth a lot.

With that said, I would still try to obtain T10 as fast as possible. Replace your 4PT9 with 2PT9 and 2P10.

hi, got a short question ..

i couldnt find it anywhere .. if 1 str is 2 ap .. why is the enchant +15 str (30 ap) better than the already +44 ap enchant? .. i got an unholy 14/0/57 DK DD and it would be very nice to know why its really better and how str scales as an unholy DK

thanks a lot so far

What is an ideal amount of Hit most of you think? Mark of Suppremecy > DMC:G?the hit increase of MoS showed 8% + more melee strikes to strike the target increasing the dps by a lot.

My main questions are, when i read the other threads i see that Blood Elf is considered the preferred choice for PvP, but why is that?

Since expertise is such an important stat for blood, wouldnt an orc be a better choice so that you could hit that cap easier? Then there is the AP racial buff as well. Arent those both enough to edge out the 3 second silence that a Blood Elf gets?

Also, would a Hybrid with this 37/34/0 build be effective in arenas? or would a standard blood build be better? Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft

thanks for any advice.

First, Blood Elf is considered superior due to Arcane Torrent, which ultimately is considered one of the best PvP racials.

Second, Blood is not what most consider a viable PvP tree. People tend to go for Unholy/Frost hybrids for PvP, especially in terms of the arena play style, which in most cases is a combat controlling playstyle.

Your ghoul will gain it's stats based off your strength, not your AP. As long as you can keep your ghoul alive throughout an encounter, 15str (plus whatever talent and buff modifiers) will be better than 44AP.

I always thought Warlock = 7% hit for PvP but all top afflictioneers seem to aim for 5 or 6%.
Why is that?

4% is hit you need versus mob/player at your lvl, 6% to negate racials.
