Mosg2's DK Manifesto

[heyaz]

Well, remember that the DK's GCD's are one second or less via Unholy Presence and you're getting 8x free HB while running to your target/while they're getting DG'd in. My guys are sitting at 682 resilience in mostly blue gear with the 1800 weapons and they destroy 1200+ resilience targets usually in less than 3 seconds. I will try and make it a point to stream some BG's so you can see what it's like--Though, I'm a little skeptical that it'll give the wrong impression My guys die pretty fast due to the gear issue.

Something that Shodokan pointed out to me tonight was that at 85 you'll be able to spec your DK's into Resilient Infection so that if someone tried to dispel your diseases your team just gets free Howling Blasts--Since you're not using Blood Plague at all they can only dispel the Frost Fever

Powerhouse!

Dying fast due to bad gear I can understand, a plate class with heavy defensive cooldowns will only get better with more resilience, I have no doubts about that (whereas shaman really never got very tough, no matter how much resil.).. but I'd like to see some killing

This team's damage is ridiculous. 2-3 globals is not a lot, especially with necrotic strike. No they don't have instagib with flame shock + lavaburst but even then thats 2 globals without EM.

While I like the discussion we got going here, about teams/combos, how would they fair in pvp (arena/bgs).

But ultimately, does it really matter ? I thought you would get gear if you just keep doing arena or bgs in cata. There is no rating requirements on 2k rating gears anymore, is there ?

Correct me if I am wrong, but we would not be blocked by arena 1800 ratings anymore for the weapons right ?. We would just get them. So in a way, the team WILL work.

While I had the same concerns that Heyaz had about the dks (not able to down target in time, 1 BOP then you would have to rely on paladin to keep the DKs up, AOE stun, CC on paladin), I am sure they would be very fun.
