Mosg2's DK Manifesto

[Ualaa]

I'll probably go in this order:
- My Ferals.
- Pally or Priest (undecided), with 4x DK's.
- Pally, Warlock & 3x Shaman (or 5x Shaman, if Pally joins DK's)

Then not sure.
Tempted to mix my teams up a bit.
But will likely level at least four teams to 85th, fairly quickly.

Obliterate uses 1x Unholy and 1x Frost runes, per use.
Two hits of Obliterate has used 4 of our 6 runes in the first 2 seconds.
Which leaves us two blood runes, and three seconds before we get runes back.

In the first case (Obliterate), we have (in a 5 second window):
- 2x Obliterate
- 2x Blood Strike
- 1 second of damage without runes.



Howling Blast and Necrotic Strike each use one rune, 1x Unholy and 1x Frost respectively.
The two blood abilities will also use two blood runes, so whatever we pick for the first (Blood Tap & Blood Strike or 2x Blood Strike), that will likely be consistent.

In the second case (Howling Blast + Necrotic Strike) we have (in a 5 second window):
- 2x Howling Blast
- 2x Necrotic Strike
- 1x Blood Strike.



Which will be higher damage, to a single target?
Even if Obliterate is higher damage, would we want:
- a single target DPS move; and
- a multi-target and/or healer resistant move
Or to just go with one move over the other?

Hmm, shouldn't your target be dead by the 2nd obliterate ? This thing hits harrrrrrrrrrrrd.

Anyway just a thought. Either option is fine, not a game changer. The HB range though is ridiculous. It hits hella far.
I guess I will open with HB and obliterate to kill my target.

[Mosg2]

Obliterate also doesn't snare the target.

The reason I like HB as much as I do isn't because it's ranged or does AE damage--It's because it does good single target damage and meshes with Necrotic Strike really well.

[remanz]

Well. It hits like a train and long range, and disease, and AOE.

This is the only AOE blizzard forgot to nerf.

I think enough has been said about the DKs. About time to make it happen.

As good as rets, they were/are an one trick pony, gimmick team. Lack the staying power and heavily rely on frontal burst zerg fest. If my frontal burst doesn't kill, I just flat out lose. Rarely I see come backs.

Hope the DKs can take it to new height.

@ mosg2: dont want to push you but, how's that movie going?
where you'll explain some macro's and shizzle ^^

Haha I'm so sorry man. I had to stay late like 3 hours last night and I'm back to work in another 3. I work 10 hours/4 days and it's grueling when I have to do extra hours.

Worst case scenario I'll do it tonight when I get home. Even if it's 2am local
