Hey Caliste, you wouldn't be able to remember where you found the Crow Butterfly UI art would you? I've been looking for ages but all the links I find are outdated. I used to use Fairy UI back in the day, and this is similarily gorgeous. I'd love love love being able to track it down.

I have yet to see any real mention of the ability [Army of the Dead], I admit the cool down (if not talented) is quite large, although I have seen a significant increase in overall DPS when this ability has been used. The ability itself is quite problematic if used on an encounter which includes vasts amounts of AE or encounters such as Freya in where you can not attack the NPC until P2. However, if used at the start of the fight it can contribute to overall damage dealt. Encounters such as Ignis saw the best use of this ability.

I do apologise if I have overlooked this from a previous post.

Thank you for the great FAQ, but you are using 'your' in place of 'you're' in a lot of instances. Be mindful of your homophones.

Is the bonus 4t8 better with 51/7/13 or spe combat ?
i know that combat is better than 51/13/7
thanks

Cheers Sylgian, has anyone been getting any errors with Fubar? everytime I move my cursor over it I get an error message. I have the latest version but not sure why I get this error.

I have been tanking in the frost tree with my DK since WotLk came out, i have enjoyed it very much. So i was searching threw forums the other day when i saw they had the patch notes for 3.2 at first i was excited to see some of the changes they were planning until i got to the class changes with the DK.

Death Knights

Due to significant talent changes, all death knight talents will be reset for players.

• Blood Strike: The bonus damage this ability receives from diseases on the target has been increased to 50% per disease.
• Chains of Ice: Now reduces movement by 95% instead of 100%. The main effect of this change will be that targets of Chains of Ice will not have to re-issue a movement command to continue moving.
• Frost Presence: 10% bonus health reduced to 6% bonus stamina.
• Frost Strike: This ability can now be dodged, parried, or blocked. Weapon damage bonus reduced to 55%, down from 60%.
• Icebound Fortitude: Cooldown increased to 2 minutes.

Talents

Blood

• Dancing Rune Weapon: This ability now has a fixed duration of 12 seconds (which can still be modified by its glyph) and a fixed cost of 60 runic power.
• Veteran of the Third War: Stamina bonus reduced to 1/2/3%.

Frost

• Blood of the North: Reduced to a 3-point talent. Increases Blood Strike and Frost Strike damage by 5/10/15%. There is now a 33/66/100% chance whenever you hit with Blood Strike or Pestilence that the Blood Rune will become a Death Rune when it activates.
• Lichborne: Duration reduced to 10 seconds, and cooldown reduced to 2 minutes.
• Threat of Thassarian: New 3-point talent. When dual-wielding, your Death Strikes, Obliterates, Plague Strikes, Blood Strikes and Frost Strike have a 30/60/100% chance to also deal damage with your off-hand weapon. Off-hand strikes are roughly one half the effect of the original strike.
• Toughness: This talent now grants 2/4/6/8/10% armor instead of 3/6/9/12/15%, placing it in line with similar abilities of other classes.

Unholy

• Desecration: This talent has been reduced to 2 points for 25/50% snare and no longer increases damage done by the death knight. It has also been moved one tier earlier in the tree and its spell effect has been made more transparent.
• Desolation: New talent. This talent is in the position formerly occupied by Desecration. It causes Blood Strikes to increase all damage the death knight deals by 1/2/3/4/5% for 12 seconds.
• Scourge Strike: Weapon damage bonus reduced to 40%, down from 45%. Damage increased by 10% per disease on the target, down from 11%.
• Summon Gargoyle: The gargoyle now flies lower to the ground, making it susceptible to melee attacks. This ability now has a fixed duration of 30 seconds and a fixed cost of 60 runic power.
• Summon Gargoyle: The gargoyle now flies lower to the ground, making it susceptible to melee attacks. This ability now has a fixed duration of 30 seconds and a fixed cost of 60 runic power.

Opinion
At this point i don't even know if I'll be able to tank after the patch.

How do you feel about the changes for DK tanking?

can someone plz post a elemental Summary like the enh summarey abov?

What's better Glyph of Serpent Sting or Glyph of Steady shot ?

Look here:

Raid Tested uses of Army of the Dead

Generally Srs Glyph is considered to be better due to the fact one saves out GCD's that way.
(and Sv doesn't use alot of SS).

Just to emphasise how poor it is here's the list of T8.5 stamina for dps and healers :-

Death Knight - 591
Warrior - 591
Retadin - 591

Feral - 530

Warlock - 400

Shadow - 388
Rogue - 388

Holydin - 381
Boomkin - 381
Tree - 381
ELEMENTAL SHAMAN - 381
RESTORATION SHAMAN - 381

Healingpriest - 364

Mage - 334

Hunter - 328

ENHANCEMENT SHAMAN - 324

No-one else in melee has anywhere near the exposure of Enhancement and the base health change, while welcome, putting us on par with Paladins doesn't do much when said Paladin get 3k HP from five pieces of tier gear.

It can be, sure, I'm using Recount, as Arcane I don't use DoTs:P on the other hand ppl that are above me in dmg done got less DPS, even on Patch-like fight

This guide has been superb for a starting out tank DK like my self. Thanks!

Record on to a seperate harddrive? Supposed to record a lot smoother.

This looks interesting! Going to give them a try for sure. They sound lightweight which is what I'm after.

I Knew it.

DoTimers or SCT gives you sound warnings.

Maybe I should just run some heroics in a few months.

Definitely they made it more forgiving so i mean yea

Hey guys, how's the Warrior community of EJ doing? Well to get to my question, I took a 2 month break right after Ulduar hit (I did 2 weeks of it) and now I'm coming back. I noticed BT's cooldown got reduced and am wondering if there is now a new rotation? Thanks!

How would this build work out you think. Granted that its not 3.2 calculator but its still pretty close and accurate.

http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?deat...5&version=9947

So its just like the current 3.1 DRW build but you don't get DRW anymore, you get UB instead. I can see the build working out really well actually. I havnt tested this out on PTR so i have no evidence to support it, but it sounds like a viable spec.

Hi guys,

Multi Target Rotation - DnD-IT-PS-Pest then TAB-HB/Pest/BloodBoil RPDUMP = RS/FS

What does the TAB bit stand for? I really can't work it out. Cheers

tab key as in change to another target.
