Bløød DK's Clear The Nexus!!!

[Furystrike]

So, I cleared the Nexus back around lvl 70 and Keristraza just could not be killed at that level. Too much dmg to deal with given the 10% Blood Aura limitation with a 5-man DK group. I had to go back and get a little redemption. The DKs were level 73-74 in this video. With the improved Blood Aura (now 20% of the dmg I do comes back as health) the rest of the dungeon is laughable. I just displayed it in this video for demonstration sake.

I will be honest though Keristraza still wasn't a pushover. I did lose 2 of my guys at the end. I am pretty confident moving forward though that magic wont be an issue. I took out a lot of points in Blood and am going Unholy. With the cooldowns I should in theory be able to keep anti-magic zone up at all times (on rotation). Add in the Gargoyles and Bone Shield and they should be a force to be reckoned with. Time will tell. Hope you enjoy:

Good Work! Thats awesome, now I got to get back into Nexus and see if I can finish off the boss as well. Only got her down to 30ish% before they all died. Still working on a tatic to get my CD's timing down to even stay alive, lol.



Gratz though :thumbsup:

Thanks Zero. Good luck on your attempt! Kick "her" in the balls for me a few times too if you down her.

Nice job! It was fun watching the crazyness that 5 DK's can dish out.

Lol, well, just Downed her Lost 2 as well in the end. Got her down to 20% full health on all toons, and then, WTFPWN she crits the piss out of me, kills one, then gets lucky on the other toon and kills her.
Three left to drop her 20% and some how I manage to live through it all. Woot 71, 71 (levled in dungeon) 70, 70, 70.

Whats next for us? :thumbsup:

Anti-magic zone aint all that on a boss. See the shield only holds for 10kish damage, which sounds like a lot but really its 10k damage over 5 characters, so 2k per character. I guess thats 10k total per character if you use them all, but I think the points are better spent elsewhere. In fact I used my anti magic shield on that mage ho in this instance and it seriously was gone in 1 sec. =(

I think 20% healing for damage is your best bet.

edit: actually you know what I am finding is INVALUABLE as a DK? The frost talent that gives you resist vs all. That + frost stance(obviously only for tank) means AE and DD is dropped about 25%ish percent. Saves a lot of healing for my druid.

lol what was that guy asking you? Looked like he was paying you to powerlevel him out of group?? Also, another funny note is that you forgot Horn of Winter in 2 boss fights. Its a pretty significant source of damage unless I am missing a reason to not include it? Also could you link the spec you guys are running? Thanks!

Thanks Sojolly, if nothing else these DKs are fun as heck to play. =)

He's a guy in our guild about 2 levels higher. Wanted to know if I would help take out some bosses or group quests for him. He pays big $$$, so I cant refuse. I know I will need the $$$ when they hit 80 and to buy weaps like the titansteel destroyers. Horn of Winter does help and yeah, I always catch myself missing it from time to time. The only boss I really needed it on though was Keristraza. The rest were *yawn* fights. =)

[Furystrike]

Oops, forgot to include spec for the guys. I am sort of a mix right now to get the full time ghoul pet and 2/2 Blood Aura. Once I hit 80 though, this is the spec I will be running:

I think this will give me the most all-around (PVE and PVP) survivability. Keep in mind that each DK is being specced with a "tanking" role in mind. Taking the least amount of damage, the most healing is the way to go based on my experience thus far. Having full time pets out is also very helpful as well. Every item you get should be focused towards defense, dodge and parry. Once you get your defense as high as 540 (for raiding bosses) or 538 for normal bosses, then focus on dodge and parry. Hope this helps :thumbup:

[Multibocks]

Wait, so all your DKs are defense item equipped? Hmm I was under the impression that would destroy your dps. (see Hachoo's 1k dps tank for example =)
