I just noticed the simcraft for 0/56/15_MC is using shadow bolt. With the new changes to MC, wouldn't incinerate be the better spell to cast? Or is it better to only cast incinerate when MC procs?

Since most socket bonuses on tank plate are stamina, you don't lose quite so much stam for more avoidance and mitigation when you activate blue and red sockets this way.
Ahhh sweet. Thanks for the info!

Hi i just wanted to know how much crit is really needed by a fury warrior unbuffed. I got 41.05% unbuffed and it goes to about 49-50% fully buffed. Do i need such high crit? i read somewhere that 33% is all i need unbuffed. Another thing is that my dps is about 5.5 to 6k. I have been told that its low for my gear level. Can someone check my armoury and please advise.

thank you very much.

Yeah I saw those gemming templates in Rawr now as well once I had all the buffs that I am raiding with enabled, the gemming changed from int/mp5 to SP in blue/red and sp/haste in yellow. I am so hit capped already that I only see sp/hit in the lowest of the 3 options.

Gonna change and see what it is like in the raid tonight.

Unholy DW Tanking - doable?

While there is plenty of discussion on DW frost tanking, I have seen no discussion of DW Unholy tanking, and would like input.

Due to familiarity, better mitigation of magic damage, and better AoE threat, some may prefer Unholy to Frost or Blood tanking. A DW build offers an interesting extra - while going deep enough into frost for Nerves of Cold Steel, Lichborne is readily available, giving a little extra utility.

Here's a spec I worked out, based on the standard Unholy tanking spec. 3 points are taken from Blood (1 in bladed armor & 2 in 2H weapon specialization), and 1 is taken from the Unholy tree (from wandering plague) in order to fill the requisite frost talents:

http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?deat...P,Yp3eO-,10676

Any input on the viability of this spec?

I've also considered the following spec as well for 3.3:

Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft

Given the changes in 3.3 to AoD, it could be nice to have NotD talented, for a 6 min CD. This also allows for a perma-ghoul to have ready for sacrifice, instead of having to time your ghoul's CD. Dropping unholy blight might make sense given the halving of its damage and therefore its threat in 3.3.

This build gives up on the threat generated by SS, putting those points into BCB/NotD. For a DW build, melee makes up the highest portion of your threat, and SS is already weaker than on a 2H build, so the loss isn't as significant. This plays to the strength of a DW build, while building extra utility into the spec.

This spec for 3.3 builds in 3 utility tools that a standard Unholy build doesn't bring - Lichborne, AoD, and easy ghoul sacrifice, while still maintaining the excellent AoE threat, raid buff, and damage mitigation of Unholy. My primary concern is whether this build is too weak on single target threat - any thoughts?

EDIT: Reposted in the DW Tanking thread

Hello, i've just got to this forum, and searched for a MS spec, i saw alot ppl using Incite spec, so I'm wondering should i go Incite spec with this gear:

The World of Warcraft Armory
(I got Reckoning in bags, but i guess the polearm is better because 5% critical damage increase)
Ignore the spec i have on, i wanted to try out fury, but I was stupid enough not to take look that can u use polarms for TG..
So is Incite spec better than the usual spec for Arms? And what kind of rotation it keeps inside.

Thank you in advance,

Anecdote

I've been playing my Death Knight a lot more recently. It's an alt at the moment, so I'm only wearing 2 piece T9 at the moment (plan on trying/going Unholy as soon as I have 4 piece T9).

Anyways, my gear isn't too bad at all; I have the level245 Axe, all my other pieces are out of 25m normal ToC (with the exception of my helm, still Conqueror's). So, like I said, my gear isn't AWFUL for an alt but I just can't seem to get the DPS output I think I'm capable of. I'm not using GoDisease at the moment and my rotation is something along the lines of:

IT-PS-HSx2-DS-DC-DS-HSx4-etc etc (I throw in a Pestilence as well as popping my Ghoul and DRW+Hysteria)

It's probably not the most optimal (I'm assuming, although it seems everyone has their own variation at this point), but I feel like it should work. I've talked with other Death Knights (i.e. DK mains in my guild) and I think we've come to the conclusion that I'm lacking in armor penetration - I only have 274. I was under the impression that this stat mattered, but not nearly as much as it used to. As I talk to other Death Knights, however, that number seems very, very low.

So other than low ArP, what else am I doing wrong? I find it hard to hold a steady 5k at times it seems in ToGC10 and such. Please help!
