Fantastic work guys. I don't even play a DK but it has always impressed me how you've managed to really stress the class limits of DKs. Can't wait to see more in the future.
haha this is just pure awesomeness!!!! All that work to gear up for this and i mean beside that ...being able to down blackhand in hc with only dks do i find raelly impressive cause thats like the only fight in there witch is pretty damn hard and easy to screw him up.I mean you are going normally through that boss in like 5-6 min....everything is happening so fast in that fight
hey raegwyn! i just got an idea, if you run out of things to do, maybe make a level 60 dk and do solo or dk only vanilla raids, when you done that, you could continue with tbc. i think you alrdy done wotlk when it was current content :)
Imho this really speaks a lot about how they balance classes, Dks have always been the gods at staying alive, in arena its like good luck even fighting one, how are you suppose to win ...? they can solo current heroic raids together, that's just a little too insane. granted, these guys are amazing players and showing tons of skill, but no other class/spec could do something like this and for that reason I always feel slightly discouraged for some reason. Blood has always just been a little too good.
while we do these runs u only need to tank like 1 or 2 hits before its taunted off you, theres 10 people constantly taunting. Just taunt whenever guard is up, besides 10+ chi waves bouncing and healing the lowest target would top any1 off.
Ah, right. Surely, though, it will lower our DPS or at least make BoS nonviable for blood? Thanks for your input, and I enjoy these videos! I haven't consistently played a DK since WotLK and I'm trying to learn how to efficiently play a blood DK as a solo player. It would be interesting to see a video from you detailing the strategies and build you've learned to live and conquer WoD with as a blood DK!
kniali Rather, half the fights there are 11 dk's, as seen with Beastlord, Maidens, Hans/Franz, Flamebender, and Kromog. So that's 5 out of 9 fights with 11, rather than 10, Death Knights.
lol... It's cute how a class can ignore little things like, oh, the need for any other classes, while Blizzard calls that 'balance.' When 10 MAGES do this shit, I'll be impressed.
Silas Greaves Top DPS as an Arcane Mage really does only take like 3 buttons, because it's not about facerolling the keyboard, it's about knowing when to stagger or stack your CDs, how far under 100% mana you can drop during conservative use phase, how low you can get and still recover during burn before the fight mechanic interrupts your evo, and about ten other things you have to worry about, PLUS doing the fight mechanics right - so yeah, do all that shit with MORE than three buttons? Fuck that.
Silas Greaves It's funny how "only use 3 buttons" is considered so much 'easier' than DK's "smash your face on the keyboard and auto-win because you don't need any other class to support you in any way"... yes, I've played both.
I mean it's funny because you're expecting a class with the lowest armor in the game and virtually no way to self heal or mitigate damage to be able to tank a raid boss, lmao no that's not how classes work
Imagine Blackhand and his Blackcock Clan forging some black crack pipes and smoking some black rocks at the BlackRockFoundry... Gang of Dks: "Give us your black crack rocks" Blackhand: If you want to smoke some of that crack you then make me, because I'm not giving it to you. You all have to get past them first!" Gang of Dks: *Murders every boss and reaches Blackhand* Blackhand: 0_0
Howard Charles haha yeah! kinda died a lot due to ppl not taunting much^^ but thats the point of DK raids it doesnt matter how many ppl die you can finish all bosses with only 1 being alive just fine
Ionut Mirica Real raiding is done on a schedule with a premade group, some pugs might not even be considered "real" raiding imo. And LFR is neither so, nope.
Nowish Your OPINION is that real raiding is done on a schedule with a premade group. Please don't state it as if it's a fact that everyone agrees with.
Marshall Radziwilko .. Well they have healers, dps and tanks here, their death strike is the healers, they do the dps and they are all the tanks... Soo how is this soo different from any other set up?
Marshall Radziwilko You are aware that blizzard had to nerf the mythic version of this fight because only a very select few guilds could actually clear it, right?
Marshall Radziwilko Dont agree. naxx 40 and some of the bc raids were tough, but a lot of that had to do with bad mechanics like hots not stacking from more than 1 of the same class, some really poor balancing in classes (most offspecs feral/ ret e.t.c were pretty useless before wrath). Beyond lich king and maybe putricide icc was pretty easy.Current content is pretty competitive especially on mythic even after the nurfs. The only thing I dont like that blizzard has done in more recent expansions and now is that a lot of people find ways to weasel through and ignore fight mechanics by simply out dpsing them (garrosh in particular comes to mind), that and there are still heavy class imbalances.
To those bastards crying about how unbalanced DKs are. Open worldoflogs or warcraftlogs and check if there are any encounters where DKs top the dps rankings. Or don't bother yourself with that shit, I'll tell you there is only one such encounter, which is Kromog. Meanwhile, there are some mages and hunters that just press a simple sequence of buttons and never have to pool resources, and still they manage to make it to the top on most encounters. Yes, the game is pretty balanced, lol. As of the DK, one of the specs of that class is broken and hardly playable this time, and Blizz don't seem to be worried about that at all. Besides, they are removing the CoI glyph, which will render endless Breath of Syndragosa playstyle (sometimes also referred to as Chains of Syndragosa) almost impossible for many Blood DKs. This is how they "balance" the game, oh yes it is.
Andrew Gregg Hunters only use one resource, and "pooling" that resource consists in casting FS (or a similar shot) one time or a couple of times before you press a major cooldown. "More advanced pooling" would also include getting a proc of TotH before you activate RF or something else. These operations are nowhere near a proper execution of BoS in terms of difficulty.
Fantastic work guys. I don't even play a DK but it has always impressed me how you've managed to really stress the class limits of DKs. Can't wait to see more in the future.
Awesome dude!! Congratulations!
I more impressed at seeing that 100% up-time of Breath of Sindragosa. I don't i can micro-manage that much to keep it up for longer than 10 seconds.
I swear half of the reasons I watch these videos is for the new music. The other half is for the glorious violence.
I just love the DK Master Class videos.
haha this is just pure awesomeness!!!! All that work to gear up for this and i mean beside that ...being able to down blackhand in hc with only dks do i find raelly impressive cause thats like the only fight in there witch is pretty damn hard and easy to screw him up.I mean you are going normally through that boss in like 5-6 min....everything is happening so fast in that fight
I'd really like to participate in one of those videos of yours one day ^^
That interface is soooooo effin sweet!
Flamebender looks really hard with the fire going for melees.
hey raegwyn! i just got an idea, if you run out of things to do, maybe make a level 60 dk and do solo or dk only vanilla raids, when you done that, you could continue with tbc. i think you alrdy done wotlk when it was current content :)
Great job lol, Blood dks are still pretty strong I see :p
Wow wp guys, Love ya bro
Imho this really speaks a lot about how they balance classes, Dks have always been the gods at staying alive, in arena its like good luck even fighting one, how are you suppose to win ...? they can solo current heroic raids together, that's just a little too insane. granted, these guys are amazing players and showing tons of skill, but no other class/spec could do something like this and for that reason I always feel slightly discouraged for some reason. Blood has always just been a little too good.
Nirr0 monks could do this, possibly other tank specs.
no way they can seal heal to that degree
while we do these runs u only need to tank like 1 or 2 hits before its taunted off you, theres 10 people constantly taunting. Just taunt whenever guard is up, besides 10+ chi waves bouncing and healing the lowest target would top any1 off.
I suppose that could work, yeah. I'd like to try it on my brewmaster perhaps.
Nirr0 Monks now are op too Wannoob79 solink content too as monk so dk now they are not the only class which can solo content ;]
This is wicked nice work
With Blizzard removing the icy chains glyph in 6.2, how do you think that would effect dks' soloing ability, particularly breath upkeep?
Ditronus it will effect us in no way besides we might stay better alive because we cant screw our runes up
Ah, right. Surely, though, it will lower our DPS or at least make BoS nonviable for blood? Thanks for your input, and I enjoy these videos!

better watch out of the druids will come and try to 9 druid vs brf heroic.
Hi! Grats on the Down :D can I ask what is the addon that you are using to display your Resolve?
OMG AMAZING How do I sign up for this>>
Macroed blood tap or just hidden bind?
what addon is used for yours| target | focus plates?
If Blizzard ever needed proof that DK's healing is OP...
any logs by chance? id love to look at that
the title isn't true, sometimes there are 11 dks infight :/
kniali Rather, half the fights there are 11 dk's, as seen with Beastlord, Maidens, Hans/Franz, Flamebender, and Kromog. So that's 5 out of 9 fights with 11, rather than 10, Death Knights.

Tkeleth yea and mages are balanced right , 3 buttons doing top dps on ST wake up
Silas Greaves Top DPS as an Arcane Mage really does only take like 3 buttons, because it's not about facerolling the keyboard, it's about knowing when to stagger or stack your CDs, how far under 100% mana you can drop during conservative use phase, how low you can get and still recover during burn before the fight mechanic interrupts your evo, and about ten other things you have to worry about, PLUS doing the fight mechanics right - so yeah, do all that shit with MORE than three buttons? Fuck that.
Tkeleth you just wanna make it sound harder then it is dont bother i have a mage also it's piss easy in all 3 specs
Silas Greaves It's funny how "only use 3 buttons" is considered so much 'easier' than DK's "smash your face on the keyboard and auto-win because you don't need any other class to support you in any way"... yes, I've played both.

this is just ... hilarious :D did everyone play with tank gear or just blood specc?
Robbie Bubble pretty sure they got mythic gear and are all tanks
The number of Soul Reap's is hilarious.
What is raegwynn using for an UI?? can someone tell me pls :D
+Akira LP its a personal mix of some addons i use. no premade UI and most addons are outdated, so you cant really DL an actual version
Did you have to resort to use the bubbleglyph?
ow do you keep breath up almost indefinatly like that?
kronos548 Alot of Multistrike
This is insane, such a unbalanced class, congrats!!!
Working as intended
Imagine Blackhand and his Blackcock Clan forging some black crack pipes and smoking some black rocks at the BlackRockFoundry...
Gang of Dks: "Give us your black crack rocks"
Blackhand: If you want to smoke some of that crack you then make me, because I'm not giving it to you. You all have to get past them first!"
Gang of Dks: *Murders every boss and reaches Blackhand*
Blackhand: 0_0
Shit, that was quick.
Now you need to work on a flawless run..
Howard Charles haha yeah! kinda died a lot due to ppl not taunting much^^ but thats the point of DK raids it doesnt matter how many ppl die you can finish all bosses with only 1 being alive just fine
7:30 THERE ARE 11!!
awesome... DKs FTW
Heroic isn't real raiding.
huldu so what is real raiding then? if you say mythic you're wrong. even LFR is real raiding, no matter how stupid easy it is.
Ionut Mirica Real raiding is done on a schedule with a premade group, some pugs might not even be considered "real" raiding imo. And LFR is neither so, nope.
Nowish Your OPINION is that real raiding is done on a schedule with a premade group. Please don't state it as if it's a fact that everyone agrees with.
I guess u cant read then, since it clearly says "imo" in the text.
But I guess I offended your dreams as a LFR raider, well met.
heyyy nnogga from method wassup
immagine 10 rogues vs BRF heroic, run will fail at first boss
Mindaugas Adomaitis not if you choose oregorger
Sick. :D
more solos pls :D
First! lol
Raegwyn Soloing Raeg i was wondering if you would be able to do 5 dks vs Challenge modes some day ^^
Kevin Jara Your question got me wondering, have you seen/counted the dmg intake. AND THEN made some more math? :D:D:D
TheXnocf you don't need math when you have the power of dks
Nice Music.
OP
guys you are crazy, but you are 11 dk`s not 10 :D
This to me proves that the new Content is Just to easy, no skill. Miss going back to ICC or even BC Raids, where it was actually a challenge.
Marshall Radziwilko .. Well they have healers, dps and tanks here, their death strike is the healers, they do the dps and they are all the tanks...
Soo how is this soo different from any other set up?
Marshall Radziwilko You are aware that blizzard had to nerf the mythic version of this fight because only a very select few guilds could actually clear it, right?
Tom H
You are aware that this video is in Heroic mode not Mythic?
Marshall Radziwilko Dont agree. naxx 40 and some of the bc raids were tough, but a lot of that had to do with bad mechanics like hots not stacking from more than 1 of the same class, some really poor balancing in classes (most offspecs feral/ ret e.t.c were pretty useless before wrath).

Rad.
do it with warriors ! XD
Mick Breiting prot warriors lack alot self healing so would be pretty hard or impossible.
gg
yes an i have to kill these things in arena
11 dk
damn misst it, but gz buff dks pls blizz
Well first of all, congratz guys, pretty cool with 10 DK's.
But second, this just shows how dumb the game has been.
for any dk i dont wanna hear anything about u not getting heals!!!! lol
There are 11 for some of these fights. We've been cheated; grab your pitchforks everyone!
dk >> all
Cthulhu Fghtagn
boring. just outgear it like other raids that managed to 5man some of those bosses.

Рауль Каримов If you think hunters don't have to pool resources, then you don't know how to play a hunter.
Andrew Gregg pressing focusing shot a couple times? so hard. lol
