Death knight specs

You know ive been scratching my head over n over again about this. I love blood for the healing abilities but love unholy for the bubble and pets and damage. So i was thinking of doing a build like this
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=j

would this spec actually be losing power or making more power. Cause now you get both blood and unholy auras plus blood presence. This would be meaning more healing per hit plus you still get the pets which is like 5 hunters. Any ideas if this will be good just for farming at lvl 80, not planning on trying to 5 box dk's in arena lol.

Click "Link to this Build" before you copy the link :P

Because your link contains no set talents.

Sry lol was tired and thought it did try this one.

http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/...t/talents.html but im not sure if i should swap out bloodworms for death run mastery. Reason i say that is cause only time i use death strike is in instances.

sounds like your describing the ghoul knight build from http://deathknightbuilds.com/ (45/0/26) or something similar. I was tempted to spec my DK team this way, but I sorta never got around to leveling em. hehe. Well, to be fair, I was sorta thinking about trying to get blood aura on everyone (cause it stacks) + 1 unholy aura, and then get the perma pet talent on everyone too. Not sure how practical it is; but i'd be interested to hear if you tried it/how you liked it.

Ok atm im only lvl 66. But i have what is it 39 points in blood on everyone but one. This one has 37 points. Reason for this is i was thinking i wanna try it like that with one unholy aura it was ok. But decided for now i put 36 into blood and now i have 21 in unholy. This is an awesome build. I mean at the end it will be 39 points in blood on all and 32 in unholy. This is enough for the master ghoul times 5 and every possible heal in blood. I went out to banthar in nagrand at 63 minus 2 points in unholy but full blood handed him and all the other elites asses for safari. Then tuskar was a piece of cake omg. So i was like sweet at 65 imma try durn and almost got him down he had 5k hp left so sad. Then did ring of blood goto the rock guy his knock backs messed me up so much but ehh.

I am thinking about a deathknight team. If you had a 70 prot pally would you do 4 dks and use the prot to level them? Or should I just go 5 dk's. Right now I have 3 at 58 sitting in the inn at hellfire.

i have a dk group at level 79, i highly recommend leveling 4 and keeping a shaman for heals

go all blood and a tiny bit of frost for annihilation and you're single target dps will be out the door nuts, plus with upcoming changes you're gonna get a ton more healing and aoe dmg will be better than it is now...

right now i run with 3 blood spec dks (with juts a bit into frost for obliterate) and a feral druid for tanking, leveling my shamans now so that i can add a shammy into the mix for totems/heals... overall i'm super impressed with this setup for melee boxing, its a TON of fun playing dk's! :)

Interesting spec... soon as I get enough Emblems of Heroism I will be leveling my DK team with the heirloom shoulders and arcanite reaperx5. Should be fun!

Is specing blood better than unholy for leveling? Wouldnt the aoe damage be better with unholy so you can kill a ton of stuff? Right now I dont know anything about dk's. I have several sitting at level 58 waiting to go. There will be much reading required to figure out macros, talents, and attack sequences once I start to level them.

From what I understand unholy DKs are awesome at AOE grinding. I'm torn between leveling unholy or blood (blood for no downtime or unholy for massive AE).

How about 2 of each? Would that be best?

If I were solo levelling my DK, I'd be Blood. But since I'm boxing DK + 4 Shamans, I've been Unholy. The AE is nice, and Ebon Plaguebringer is really nice. Here's my spec:

You don't like the gargoyle talent? From what I hear its very nice dps.. also no magic zone? Seems like it would be great for magic heavy bosses.

ok on magic zone u dont need to spec for it lol. At 68 you get it automatically just put the 5 points to improve it. Cause you really dont need both bubbles plus the shell is improved which makes it better then the zone. I know the zone is like an area one but with all being dks you can drop it down at once on all.
