I am a 5man boxer of deathknights. I have 5 level 80's atm. Their horribly geared and don't survive in arena. However as of this patch, they are awesome in world pvp and battlegrounds such as AV. The only problems I have are with paladins and other Deathknights. I'm unholy specced so I get all the damage buffs such as bone shield, IBF and AMZ/AMS. They are what keep me alive. Bone shield is super amazing.
The problem lies in this next patch. When you go from 40% damage mitigation to 20%, then 50% from IBF down to 20%, you will feel the hurt. A problem we face already as full unholy is the lack of a 3rd disease amongst the other 4 deathknights. I haven't tried multispeccing my DK but if anyone has let me know how it's going. I recently respecced my DK into blood just to watch my army of the dead x5 and then x2 again with dancing weapon. I tried some PVP with it and I realized I die super fast. After patch will it be worth it to stay frost presence for the extra armor, damage mitigation? As of now we can switch to blood presence and still have our crazy mitigations. They did talk about buffing AMZ to compensate, but how much will be enough? Another 2,000?
Like I said my gear is horrible my money is shot and what I am doing now is grinding honor for the pvp gear that hopefully will make a difference. I'm still using my quest blue deraged waraxe x5.
I would like to try full frost next patch just for the hungering cold x 5, or mix it up for some HC and AMZ. Lots of shitty bugs having multi-dk atm to really make it worth having multi-dk. You could prob. be better off switching some DK out with some paladins.
For instance if you Pestilence icy touch and have the chillblains talent, it will not give chillblains to other targets. Descecration only applys to the DK that procced it making you spec it 5 times to get all DK to have the effect, and its only 5%. Only aura's that stack are blood in frost presence, and it's still not alot of healing. Next patch increases to 2/4% but the bug could be fixed. Usually Bugs that benefit get fixed first before bugs that hurt us.
