Mosg2's DK Manifesto

[Mosg2]

@Toned:
As it stands now, if I understand it correctly, the debuff doesn't "stack" in the sense that consecutive NS's don't just add to the running total--They just reset it to a higher value and refresh the debuff (-30% cast speed). If it does indeed actually stack then this team is going to be the runaway best team to play for Cata.

@All:
Good discussion so far. I think everyone has brought up a lot of valid points but I'd like to say that I'm really surprised people *actually* think that Rets will be a workable team in Cata. Yes, your healing is spread out over 4 toons which makes it harder to CC your healing--But your healing also sucks. There's no way for you to ensure that you're only going to be using WoG when it's at 3 HP without *seriously* lowering your DPS. That means that you never really know how much healing you're going to get when you hit your button. Also, you're one-dimensional as 4x Rets regarding healing--You can WoG. You can Holy Radiance. That's about all you can do in a combat situation. Having a dedicated healer means you have options. You have versatility.

Also, let's not mention that you lose serious DPS in order to heal.

The DK's don't have any of these problems. They DPS like madmen while I heal like a madman. If someone gets on me I DG them off. Or I aura mastery and keep healing. Or I bubble. Or I shield. And meanwhile my DK's are saying hi to whoever is most threatening.

And you just have to target the offender and grip him to your DK's.
