Mosg2's DK Manifesto

Sold !! I myself have been wondering about driving a Team from the healer so I am looking forward to seeing this team do it's thing at 85. Great Job!!

@all:

Yes, driving with the healer can be awkward at times. There are a lot of building features that make me want to tear my hair out. The easiest way to deal with them is:

Hit your non-IWT key and then just use DG to pull people out. Once someone is DG'd into you there's not much they can do to get away: Hunters and Mages are best but you still then have 3 more DG's. The fact that you get a DG reset whenever you A) kill someone, and B) it fails due to immunity means that you basically have an infinite store of DG's.

My DPS key is not a sequence--It just plain sends all those keys. This is how I set up a "priority" system, in effect. I'm still trying to solve the Necrotic Strike problem so any help there would be awesome.

Finally: I'm uh, actually farming up Insane in the Membrane on my team (I just need a few more lockboxes and then exalted with DMF on all toons) so most of my play nowadays is boring as crap haha. I mean, if you guys want me to stream herbing with my Pally I can certainly do that :)

Just wanted to point out how OP necrotic strike is... not only does it do the negative healing but it does a 100% damage attack... so you get a free white attack off of the swing timer as well when you are doing it... which can be like a 12k crit in cata.

Thanks for the info, you've done your research. You mentioned you found it even more powerful than dk/ret comp before the patch - how is it working at 80 against high resilience targets in BGs?

My guys are in mostly blues with some purple pvp stuff and the 1800 weapons--Against non-healers I'm turning them into mush in 2-3 globals at most. Healers sometimes take more time but generally speaking it's a cake walk.

Maybe I'll stream some BG's tonight. No promises though--I work late :)

Mosg2 has sold me on the Pali over druid. So I am frantically leveling up 4 paladins as high as I can via boosting at which point 3 will be dropped and 1 will be given a 2 or 3 DK escort crew for questing to 80. Or I might run 4 80 DK's plus holy pali in instances for grinding levels out.

Well, I specced my DK frost. and I definitely see where you are coming from. HB is indeed insane. The new frost IS a burst machine.

I like that you have essentially created a weighted Cast Random.



For the Necrotic Strike.
You might go something like:

Mapped Key: Necrotic Strike
No Hotkey.
Four Steps, One per DK.
Each step, sends the Necrotic Strike key bind to one slot.
Prevent a step from advancing for a GCD (or whatever).

Then modify your existing DPS.
So the Necrotic mapped key has priority over other dps moves (ie, is listed first).

Something along those lines.

Finally got a chance to sit down and watch this and I must say that I am sold. Great job on the explanation in the video, very
clear and concise. It is also great to see contributions like this on this message board. Well done sir, keep it up. :)

Fantastic Vid-

Thanks for making it. Best of luck on your team.

Would love to go against more boxers this season(s)/expansion. BG Nightfall!@ GO!
