sorry karvok, but once you start getting t10 gear and even with the t9 4set bonus unholy is the way to go, you probably hit it up against a bad dk, SS for me is critting at 13-14k and thats just the melee part, the shadow is getting as high as 5k, is this info based on the most recent patch as well?

Unholy sucks imo tbh (PVE)

I only ever use unholy for PvP (gargoyle rape and extra silence’s / pet what stuns? MMMM YES!)

Go on elitist jerks and look up Glyph of disease blood spec i have never looked back or even thought about respeccing once i swear i sometimes do about 5 or 6 heart strikes in a row if not more critting at around 9-10k and if i dont have a heart strike available i have a death strike ready to change one of them runes back to a death rune and with my auto hit critting anytihng between 5-8k (EVERY time)whilst im working the magic. and when i do eventually run out of runes i just use death coil which resetes my GCD and lets my runes have a chance to reset whilst still sustaining high dps

plus with abilities like “Hysteria” and “Dancing rune weapon” ive got that extra push for those nasty raid bosses (i tend to use on every boss) dancing rune weapon i use on trash all the time and just save it for when a boss is coming up

rofl ok im gonna stfu now i have probably bored you to death but seriousley mate forget the pet gimmic with Unholy thinking it tops up your DPS BLOOD IS THE WAY FOWARD unholy is only good on trash imo (since i beat my fellow dk friend in TOC 25 when he had a higher gearscore than me

SAVE UNHOLY FOR ARENA AND PVP

ok i hope that helped

p.s THIS IS IN T9 SET WITH T9.5 CHEST I HAVE 4.8 GEARSCORE AND BEAT PEOPLE UPTO 5.6 GEARSCORE THATS NEARLY A 800 EXTRA GEARSCORE AND I STILL COME OUT NUMBER ONE!!!!!

For Orc’s Command ability, the ghouls summoned from Army of the Dead aren’t affected by the damage increase. It says Death Knight’s PET, so that means only a summoned ghoul with the Master of Ghouls talent will have that damage increase.

This guide is not very accurate.

The choice for Horde DK tank is based on inaccurate information. DKs can tank anything end game, not just magic bosses, just like any other tank. Blood elf is still a good choice, but Tauren should not be overlooked.

Description on the Orc racial command is not accurate, as it affects your regular ghouls too, which is a big deal if you are going Unholy.

Dwarf mace spec is ignored entirely, which puts them on par with humans/draenei for pve dps.

That is just from a cursory examination.

does stoneform provide the armor bonus all the time, or just for that 8 secs after you pop it?

@drkemisary

thanks for pointing that out, I’ll make a change in the article to make that more clear.

Every Man for Himself does indeed pop the pvp trinket timer.
