A DPS build doesn't rely on dodge and/or parry, though it has some of that inbuilt. Hence, for DPS I would pick Sudden Doom while for tanking Scent of Blood.Darth Solohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01110818057322485070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529183485378908367.post-44256704690957146472009-09-08T01:19:55.800-05:002009-09-08T01:19:55.800-05:00Hi Darth,

The way a warrior and dark arts work is so cool. He can kill enemies by weakening them and even slowing them, dealing damages like no other and healing from it. He can also summon minions which is way too creepy.

I can't imagine it being too hard. I will, of course, post my impressions once I do it.<br /><br />@Melvyl I love that talent too. Unfortunately you would have to swap some dps talents in there, either from Unholy or Blood. If you get the points from Blood, you won't be able to get Dancing Rune Weapon.<br /><br />@Safrienaer I've heard of many people who didn't want to play a Death Knight beyond the starting experience for various reasons. Once you get to Hellfire and start questing there you will come to realize that it's awesome. You feel very powerful compared to those mobs. It's a truly heroic experience IMO.Darth Solohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01110818057322485070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529183485378908367.post-10284543022095213562009-08-09T11:51:57.809-05:002009-08-09T11:51:57.809-05:00Wow..

I suspect that this stat is more important when you're raiding. I don't mind if Armor Pen is on an item but I prefer Str, AP and crit. The spec that you linked looks pretty solid. It will definitely do very well for solo-ing.Darth Solohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01110818057322485070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529183485378908367.post-45857063798410611782009-08-08T07:14:16.599-05:002009-08-08T07:14:16.599-05:00After the what I like to call The Death of Unholy ...After the what I like to call The Death of Unholy (SS nerf and UB going from 51 point with AoE to a mid table talent with some minor added DPS on a DC) I have been looking at the Blood talent tree and look forward to being able to testing it out. <br /><br />Something along the lines of: http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#jfVMqh0IsfRf0stZfMhot:IGLcmV<br /><br />It has solo play in it but with only losing 3% STR and Blood Caked which I believe only really affects DPS at higher tiers.<br /><br />Whats your thoughts on the "You need 20% Armor Pen for Blood?" arguement I see from time to time?frogihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01440934252372334249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529183485378908367.post-91491761096125633112009-08-08T06:43:59.663-05:002009-08-08T06:43:59.663-05:00Super informative post!
