Hi guys after respeccing a couple of million times I now come to the experts (: I have been trying to get duel Wield to function since 3.2 but generaly i havent been satisfied. So i tryied both the Blood dps guide and the recomended spec for frost Duel wield acording to forums. I see other deathknights with simelar gear as min putting out sick numbers I just cant seem to deliver the same damage, this is not a "help me not suck" post (: As main spec im tank and doing fine But It has shown useful to deliver sick dps when no offtank is needed. Plus its fun (:

What is ppls experiance on duel wield vs. 2h dps?

/ Regards your friendly giant

Hey.

In the combat sheet i miss some items.

For example: Nymph Heart Charm.

How can i add the item to the sheet?

As has been stated a few times in various threads, you need to un-hide the "gear" sheet in the file, copy the entire line of a piece of similar gear, paste it into a new cell in the middle of that gear section, and update the stats as needed.

ie: to add a new cloak, copy all of line 42, paste into a new cell just above line 42, and change stat values.

Just a thought since this question comes up a lot, could we add some directions like this to the FAQ?

I was wondering how to fix the errrors i am getting for the beserker enchant, card of greatness, and mirror of truth?

Also can you the etched ring of the kinn tor

it looks like one of my glyphs didnt update, intead of Avengers shiled i have the judgement glyph. what should my dps be though, imo it should have been over 4k, i had might on (talented), kings and the DK buff. all together my AP was sitting at around 5.4k. I agree that i need to switch a few thing but that wont explain why my dps is so low

Ah, i think i simply misunderstood. Just like they said in a few posts above, higher crit doesn't mean higher crit damage just more occurance of a crit.

Great link, enjoyed it as a read and gave me a new perspective on Expertise

Just trying to figure things out. I know spirit is not optimal, but I would hardly call it a dps decrease...I may be wrong and someone can flame it later...lol...But I do try to steer away from it whenever possible, problem is my guild's loot system is that I should be needing on ANY upgrade regardless of optimal stats.

But I digress from the question I was going to ask. I have found that on any fight where I have to single target mobs other than the boss, my dps is lower than on fights where I can burn the boss exclusively. An example is the first boss of Northrend beasts, if I stick on the boss full time, I'm pulling 5.5k or so, but when I got called out for not dpsing the snobolds, and switched to them whenever they came down, I lost about 1k dps switching between the two. I imagine this is more a gcd problem than anything with the recasting of DoT's, but is there anything I can do to prevent this? Still learning the ins and outs of high end face melting. My dps is solid, but not elite, and I need to bridge that gap...right now I've got 2534 spell dmg+Illustration and Eye of the Broodmother, 321 haste and 23.27% crit with IF and Spirit, which is where I think I should be with a shammy haste totem in play anyway, but I'm just not pulling the numbers I should be.

I've worked out a rotation where I can apply vt and DP consistantly one after the other without clipping anything or causing an extra gcd, but it seems in like I'm losing dps in places I can't pick up, especially on heavy movement fights where my dots are ticking but my MFs aren't available, or bosses with multiple adds that can't be downed with MS.

It seems that my dps drops dramatically when I'm not in the position to maintain my rotation. Even on Practice Dummy testing, I have found that there are small gaps in mindflay casting where my dps actually drops, sometimes as much as 1k, and the only time I have been able to stave this off is RNG in the form of multiple crits. But it seems that rng has me all over the place on dps...standard dummy fight without blowing mana cd's, I will pull 3800-4k in my current gear self-buffed. Do these numbers sound right, or should I be doing more?

Your snobold comment makes no sense. Do you mean that the priest took damage from Gormok? Icehowl is the third phase of the beasts encounter. I don't know what he took a 15k hit from on that fight, the only thing he does on reg25 (that I can recall) is the stomp, and that does like 10k dmg.

At any rate, we just have whatever ranged is nearby dps down the snobolds. They don't do much dmg, the most annoying part is they lock down casters. If they get onto a healer all the ranged will quickly dps it down.

As for the worms you need to give your tanks a moment to get aggro after each submerge phase. I generally save my MI and Invis for Icehowl's stun phases.

I have seen good ideas on rotation, gear, geming, etc, but have not seen anything on what would be good placement for talent points. Any ideas!!! For ret pally, since 3.2 i have lost so much DPS its crazy.

Instead of wasting 2 hours going through each and every post, I have a simple question.

I have 3 T8.5 and 1 T8.0

***This reply is about Hot Streak and it not consuming***

The encounter (boss fight) Starts. I do my LB and scorch at the beginning etc. Hot Streak suddenly pops! "What should I do!".


Lets say LB is 7 seconds left. Scorch 19 seconds and Hot Streak is 9 seconds.

***This timer is just when I finish casting my FFB***

Do I:

1. Cast Pyroblast when 1 second of LB is left?
2. Just cast it instantly on proc.
3. I cast it instantly it doesnt consume. Do I cast it instantly like nr.2 or just wait until LB gets down to 1 second. (LB should be about 2-4 seconds left.

Do you have any idea that is better? Please help!

Thank you.


PS: Mabye its just my internet but I see my Conqueror's Kirin Tor Tunic but not the set bonus. Its only 3 set but I do have 4 set bonus in game.
