Death Knight 5 boxing

[gummy]

Ya i had a lvl 75 mage come in and do underbog with me lastnight and he couldnt pull the aggro of my unholy DK,lol he tried the hole time was funny,and my deathknight wasonly lvl 63 at the time

What Tuscarora said.

I basically set one of my ghouls to each member of a trash group. have them all jump in first, stun if needed. round robin death grip one, burst him down. if i need to i have runetap with glyph, so with all 5 going off that's like a 70% heal every 30 second as needed. when one dies, i death grip pull another. if any ghoul dies (not often as i can heal one that's getting beat on too much with 5x death coil) i can use the bodies strewn about after the fight for a reagent free ghoul summon.

i was able to clear ramps this way at 59, but i almost always lost 1 or 2 or 3 per boss fight. trash pulls were never really an issue though. i'm sure as i get higher and get better gear and skills it will get easier. I didnt even have anti magic shell at the time because i spec'ed enough into blood to get imp. rune tap.

good luck!

I've been running 4 DKs/priest setup..66 right now. All are fully unholy.. as I'm getting more points, the main 'tank' DK is putting rest of points into frost and others into blood. So far I've been destroying the BC dungeons. Plate wearing and massive aoe is awesome.

so my question should i just make my main tank dk unholy while the rest are blood for the healing or should i have 2 unholy and 3 blood for the pets unholy and the healing from blood

I went with 5x unholy. The unholy AMZ really are a life saver against magic casting bosses. Especially if they are casting heavy damage AOE's. If 1 zone can mitigate 12,000 damage, then that is 60,000 damage absorbed in 2 minutes. If you can average out 24seconds in between AMZ then you could keep them up forever. When amz is down pop AMS and with the glyph you got 10 seconds of 100% mitigation. Just remember that the pets will knock those shields down super fast on AOE if they are in the zone with you.

Bena, can you link your DK's templates ? I'm a little bit confused with those new talents
