Bløød DK's Clear Slave Pens!!!

[Furystrike]

Hi all,

I had been leveling my 5 warlocks, but it got a little tiresome, especially so when I could not do instances. I decided to make 5 death knights. Based on reading and some careful research, I decided that the blood spec would be the best for me for it's inherent healing capabilities. These guys breezed through Ramparts and Blood Furnace (which I forgot to make movies of).

This is a quick (my first) movie. Please bare with the lack of editing. It is simple and to the point. No music, just video. It basically shows off just how strong these guys are at the time. You will see a couple of botched pulls that I managed to survive through. The only deaths were when I engaged Rokmar and got involved watching TV while fighting (oops, lol). They still won the fight. It is cool to know that I can pull 4-5 mobs at a time and feel confident that I will come out alive and with nearly full health as well. I couldn't do that with the locks.

The only thing that really messes me up is because they are melee, they need to be 1) facing the correct direction and 2) within range. When you encounter a fearing mob or anything that scatters your guys, it becomes a chore to get them rounded up and on track once more. Anyways, hope you guys like my first attempt at a movie to showcase what these guys are capable of.

Why weren't your locks able to do instances? What level are they?

That looks really fun to be honest with all the healing you are able to do while dps'ing

running a team of 5 dk's as well. Cleared Ramps/BF/SP/UB but only once each. (they were lvl 60 though).

Once in a while you still die, and always having to corpserun.. gosh, annoys me
Maybe make all 5 of them engi for that res!

Main is 78, the other 4 are 77's. Well, I wouldn't say they can't do instances....they are just not that successful against bosses. The VW's can only tank so well...between applying DOT's and healing the pets, you gain aggro quickly. Once a boss is on you as cloth and no healing, it's game over pretty quick.

Hey Jeff, =) Actually it was you that inspired me to start multiboxing on Smolderthorn. Back then, you were still running with your alliance Mages and Pally. I had 2 mages also that I was toying with. I guess it has been experimentation ever since. Thanks for replying....the DKs are a blast. I plan on speccing them all as tanks and trying to max defense on all of them. In theory, there shouldn't be a 5 man instance I can't complete given the proper strategy. We will see....

Yeah I hear ya! Running from the GY outside of Coilfang Reservoir all the way back to Rokmarr is a PITA!!!

I'm glad I have the positive effect on other players glad to see your doing well, making me want to play some DK's for fun now.

I'm betting you can't do Northrend heroics =)

Not to rain on your parade, but lots of things eat through my epic'd paladin tank's health so fast that without proper healing he would last maybe 15secs.

of course this hasnt stopped me from leveling a DK team, haha.

Mabey not 5dks, but I would think something like 1dk tank + 3dk dps + resto shaman (or other healer) could do quite well in heroics

[Multibocks]

Oh definitely, just curious as to what was healing you after combat? I see +750 flash up but I'm not that familiar with DK healing abilities....

Will only be 1 way to find out =) Actually if you go out to YouTube and take a look at what blood spec DK's are soloing these days, it's quite amazing. Ragnaros, Onyxia, Prince Malchazar, etc. I know these are not new Northrend Heroic NPC's, but it shows their potential. Add in the additional healing of 4 other DK's....the new patch which will double blood aura healing and I think it will be possible. I am excited to try it.

I know there are a few others on here with higher level DK's than mine. I think they are running unholy specs though. Maybe they can comment on their successes or failures so far in Northrend.
