The short answer is obvious 'because it does the most damage'. The slightly longer answer has to do with the fact that the OH portion of FS and OB isn't dodged or parried, so with equal speed weapons your OH will score more hits than your MH. Since you want your most 'valuable' proc on the weapon that scores the most hits Fallen Crusader is applied to your OH.

It might be required 2/2 butchery for this to work, or it could be 2/2 Icy reach required. I'll have to go through and respec a few times to figure which it is specifically, but the few times i have seen a difference between re-specing, those 2 were the difference.
The depletion rate is affected by one or both of the 2 talents I mentioned just above. If you don't spec into either you lose runic faster then you gain.
This does not work if you're not spec'ed into the proper talent. I'll figure it out for sure what it is, I'm just being cheap

Edit:
It is definitively 2/2 butchery that does this. it can be done using HoW and D&D w/o 2/2 Butchery, but that leaves you with 1 less rune 1/3 of the time, which isn't that bad. But with 2/2 butchery you can do this with HoW alone.

Hey,

I have a question for hardmode tanking as a Blood DK. I am tanking 10-mans hm and I am most of the time the second tank, as my DPS is better. Our first tank, a def-warrior, is on holidays for some time now, so its me being the first. I saw me face to face to Baleroc and found it rather shocking HOW spiky it felt.

Here my question: Is it still an option to stack stam instead of mastery for heavy tank-damage fights? I did that last night and it felt a lot smoother to tank Beth and even Baleroc.

I know, Stam for Baleroc should not be optimal. But why? Its just Deciblade where Stam really sucks and DKs have so much tools to handle that (vamp+drw+ams).

It's not optimal because inferno blade also stacks your hp by 20%. Thus, by the end of the fight your health pool is going to be ludicrously high anyway so a few more % at the start isn't going to tide you over.

That said DK's actually have a pretty strong advantage main tanking Baleroc. Your DS heals are based on the damage you're getting and as the damage you're getting is ridiculously high your heals are correspondingly kick-ass. Basically Stam stacking isn't necessarily a bad idea on any fight except Baleroc.

How are people best utilizing AoK? I've been having very mixed outcomes with it's use. My biggest concern is getting the most bang for my buck for shorter Heroics like Baleroc and Staghelm which also have very stern dps requirements. Currently I have AoK macro'd into PoF. This leads to my first PoF of the fight not activating AoK since it has no stacks and then AoK lines up with PoF after a minute and every 2 minutes thereafter.

For Alysrazor, since it is such a long fight, it tends to do well since I get to use it between 4-5 times during the fight. For Baleroc and Staghelm, I tend to only get 2 uses out of it. Should I try to pop it as soon as I get 5 stacks so that I can get 3 uses out of it or is it more gain to line it up with PoF?

Which bubble gets consumed first for melee hits? A disc priest's bubbles, or the blood mastery bubble?

Stop posting bad information. Next time test it out yourself.

The first image is OH razorice.
The second image is MH razorice.
The third image is both MH and OH razorice.





As you can easily see that out of 500 hits the highest razorice hits for is 36 damage. Mind you, I don't have the talents for Dual Wielding so my OH actually hits for only 50% of my MH weapon. So the difference if it did exist should have been far greater.

The only reason we have razorice on our MH instead of our OH is due to fallen crusader uptime being higher on our OH than our MH due to miss mechanics.

Did you have 'Use positive deltas' checked? If so that will only add expertise, not take off 300 and thus your expertise would be valued at the same amount as parry expertise rather than dodge expertise (ie hard vs soft cap).

In addition you could have changed the raw value it removes to check it's value (say if Exp cap was 601 and you were at 651, then removing 50 still keeps you over the cap and thus still gets you a crappy weight.

I think by default it's set at 300? but pretty sure it's easy to change it to lower values like 50, etc.

Thank that was indeed it. Even having chganged that i got haste ranked above expertise, but not by much. Still unexpected in my opinion, but not as rediculous as a 0 weight for expertise.

I generally spent last night either offtanking or sitting out (since everyone comes back for a new patch, especially on 25m) so I didn't notice...

Has anyone seen if there is anything in Dragon Soul that requires much in the way of kiting or on-the-ball interrupts? I am wondering if there is any point for DW Frost to spec into Chillblains or Endless Winter this tier rather than Icy Reach/RPM and Impr FP.

Looking at the boss abilities says not really (though I might have missed something), but I figured that I would ask here.

Thanks in advance.

The EXP cap for DW is 26 exp. Trying to get the hard cap is nigh impossible and would sink our dps.
