this is my frost/blood two hander dps pvp spec that i use on my deathknights( one of them sacrifices some of the pvp talents to get the haste buff btw* ( as seen here http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#jfmMoIZGMxtArckck0hzAo )

Although these two builds are for a level 80 deathknight, its worth noting the insane burst aoe dmg and healing capabilities of this spec. Rune tap can be spammed every 20 or so seconds for 10 % hps per dk, or popped all at once for an emergency heal 50% to all your dks!, my favorite thing to do with this setup is to run up and cast death chill, and then howling blast a group of people. the subsequent aoe crit *5 * aoe lol means many people will walk up and instantly die. it even helps when in combat that you pop deathchill and frost strike crit anyone who's being pesky for a garuanteeeeeeed crit to the face!

I dont doubt the power of the unholyness in lower brackets, tho if you're intrerested, try out the frost spec. 5 * hungering cold means an aoe cc is up almost constantly and groups of foes will get frozen and you can wait for procs, or simply just nuke them one by one lol refreeze them and nuke more. Aoe style!

This spec also has the advantage of having chillblains, meaning any time your frosties has icy touch on the target (err frost fever**) then they are perma slow'd for the duration. so spamming chains of ice does double slow duty by putting the slow from the chains on, AND frost fever, which applies the slow from chillblain. fun stuff, and since you're gonna be spamming obliterates and howling blasts (oblit can cause rime which is a free howling blast) you're always gonna be ranged slowing everyone! This spec is GREAT for ranged dk destruction as well, lol with howling blast icy touch and deathcoil spamming all over the place you're in for some crazy /doom ! ********** its worthy to note that the frost fever applied from howling blast adds the chillblains effect as well which means groups of people slowed if they bumrush you~ an idea here would be to drop 5 death and decay, and then howling blast and blood boil, everyone takes aTON of aoe dmg, they're slowed, and now they're stuck taking dnd damage AND frost fever dmg meanwhile you're pickin them off one by one, if they dont all fall over dead right away lol


couple things as well, corpse explosion never has had a knock back, i've 3 dks myself and never ever read or noticed that before.

crypt fever doesnt stack for 150% disease damage, its always just a flat 30 % increase for everyone in group, ALWAYS

other than that you've got a pretty good write up i love playin my dks as frost/blood in pvp, its funny how quick in 3v3 i can nuke people without them even knowing where or how it came to be. I usually just run in, get some diseases up and spread, then hungering cold(aoe cc), then proceed to pop my auto crit and nuke one target down. Warstomp warstomp, deathgrip chains of ice whack whack dead! lol

I used to use the rune tap spec for heals on my old DK group before they made the change in battlegrounds to where the person in the largest group is no longer auto the leader. And the leader can no longer move people around so my guys are all in the same group. This was making it so that i had 2 guys in one group, 2 in another and maybe even one solo in a third, so it was messing up my group spells (messes up my totems too).

I can get around this in 10/15 game bg's by waiting to the last second and hopefully I fill up the last group, but in AV this usually never works out right.

I plan on doing this at 60, at 59 I still can not get the full frost talent tree.

Hmm when I used it i saw things flying away from me, maybe it just makes the corpses fly away from me.

Aww darn really? It shows up 5x on the character so I figured it was stacking.

Thanks for the help man it is def some food for thought.
