Bløød DK's Clear Ulduar: Halls Of Stone!!!

[Furystrike]

Halls of Stone presented some new challenges that I hadn't faced as of yet. First, some of the bosses were extremely healing intensive. The Maiden of Grief was more or less just being in the right spot and avoiding damage as best as I could. That was a relatively easy fight.

The Second Boss, Krystallus is very hard for a 5-boxer. Just like Gruul, he knocks you back and you only have seconds to get away from each other before you are frozen in place and then shattered. Any other members of your group that are in close proximity take a lot of dmg. Trying to get your guys to go in 5 different directions at one time and in just a couple of seconds was a little bit of a mind block for me until the light bulb came on. I finally figured it out.

The quest within the zone (Brann Bronzebeard) to open the door to the final boss (Sjonnir The Ironshaper) was fun. Basically it is just a positioning and damage race. Not too hard here. After you get done, you can loot the chest known as the Tribunal of Ages. Next stop is the last boss.

Brann opens the door to the last boss. Sjonnir wasn't really that hard although I do admit I messed up in my healing cooldowns and got a little too close in one spot. I downed him and was so proud of myself that I didn't lose any of my guys to see a millisecond later that I hadn't gotten out of his AOE he left behind - one of my guys dies. Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot......sigh..... Oh well, good times and this was a new chapter to put in the books for the DK's.....80 is coming up quick. This means new Titansteel Destroyers for all, as well as preparing for Army of Dead x 5.

Nice vid, what kind of spec d you have?! do have tried a Blood Frost specc?!

http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?deat...h=000000000000

Or something like that, could also be 36/rest/0 or something, the Howling Blast thing is an insane AoE and it would give a lot healing back with 20 of the Dmg dealt.

hm, don't know if I got the right specc here, have to look it up again.

Your link is broken. Needs a ? before deathknight. :>

Would lose Bone Shield and the permanent Ghoul with that spec though. And if you're that deep in Frost why miss up on Improved Icy Talons? :P

EDIT: Where the hell is your action bar lol? :whistling:

Yes, Howling Blast is a great way to go. In my video being Uploaded as we speak, it has me running Drak with it. I easily noticed a BIG increase from my earlier specs being more blood.

You can’t go wrong with any spec but you have to pick Blood Aura.
Anything you do after that is up to you.
Just about all specs have been done to a limit (not being 80), so, the ones that have been tried could have worked, but not at the current level, or were not as effective as the others.

Right now for PVE, Normal dungeons, everything works fine with the 32/?/? spec. I mean, ANYTHING will work, but others will require quite a bit more work.

When we start hitting the Heroics, we might be singing a different toon… I still believe that anything is doable with this group setup, but its going to require a different approach.

BTW, great vid Fury, can't wait to hit that place when all my toons hit 76. I don't work tomorrow, and it's a 3day weekend, so hopefully I hit 80 this weekend and ... well, you know. :thumbsup:

Thanks. Fixed it, I think.

Don't know the exact specc, as mentioned. And I don't know so much about DK's, and I hope I can start my Comeback tomorrow, (not good for the vid I'm editing but ... I don't care xDD)

@ Zerocool2024
Yeah the 32 seems to be a must have, so you can get 20% heal of the Dmg, that was my intentions for the Howling Blast thing, you can crit @ 60 with2,2k AoE with just 6(?) Seconds cooldown Only issue is you use the same runes as for the" Disease dmg percentage heal" strike (don't know the english name, don't even know the german lol).

I guess I'll try a DK or Melee group or something, not sure if with different Classes as I planned 9 Month ago, or full DK's ^^

[Zerocool2024]

Death Strike be the name, and yes,they do share it, so I don't use it. Lol.
I've been running my dungeons without since Drak to Gun. If I run into a situation where I will need it for the extra healing, then so be it, I will slide it into my combo. But as it stands, I am doing just fine without it.

I am gonna try a new build once I hit 79 (I am about a bubble away). Here is the link to it though: http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=j0EMq...Zhxxxhe0o0oZ0x I wont get my pets, but I think the extra dmg with Howling Blast and the additional damage mitigation that Frigid Dreadplate give will be what I might need to endure Heroic Content damage.

That was my Original build that I was going to go for. I honestly think it's a great build because of the added damage from Howling Blast. When I was running it through Drak, I was like WOAH, WTF... get multiple mobs and you spread the disease and watch the crits roll in and the Mobs HP drop, and drop they do.

It was funny, because when I got to be the same level or one level lower than the raptor boss, and my dodge rate was so high and with Frigid going, I was hit like 5 times the whole fight. I just sat there and watched my screen spam Miss, dodge, miss, miss, miss, dodge, parry... etc, lol.

Also, might I add that you have one toon deveiate from the said path and pick up 2/2 Frost Aura? That little extra helps, I noticed it help with aoe mobs and bosses.
Also, Lichborne, I find that it is a life saver, add in the Defense we have, plus 25% to be dodged makes it a world of wonder in a Clutch when you know a mob or boss is about to Enrage and WTFPWNYOURASS. Also, it makes you undead... Death Coil can be casted on your self:

/cast [help] [target=targettarget, help] [target=player] Death Coil
With that, (not 100% sure on the targeting) but it will make your ALTS Throw the Death Coil at the Targets Target, being the person the boss is beating the piss out of. The healing from Death Coil is greater than the healing from the damage it does to the mob. So, spamming that while in that mode will keep your HP up and really hard to kill.

Just a suggestion... :thumbup:

no blood worms? I would think if you invest 35 into blood you might as well take blood worms. Though there is one boss right now thats screwing me over because my slaves have spec'd into worms. Trollgore gets more vicious the more targets he hits with consume ability, and of course it counts the blood worms as targets(as well as your ghoul.)

Odd... I don't remember him doing that *goes and watches video*.... I guess we kill him before he gets out of hand, or kill him right as he gets to that stage.
You're running the 4DK/Healer route right?

I guess I would have to see a video or something to see whats going wrong, I would htink that with a Full time healer, it would be just as easy to live, but maybe it's because you are not DPSING him fast enough.

I know it's not a good answer, just trying to see why/how you are struggling on it. Send a link to toons armory>?
