- worldofwarcraft... - Unholy Death Knight DPS rundown (episode 9 of 22) in World of Warcraft: Cataclysm!
We look at the spec and rotation for an Unholy Death Knight, and analyze the testing results via Recount. All testing is done against a raid boss dummy with no buffs besides basic class abilities. Gear is level 333 premade junk.
This is an easy cycle of Scourge Strike and Death Coil, while using Festering Strike whenever your blood and frost runs pop, using Dark Transformation when the UI tells you to, and using trinket and Unholy Frenzy cooldowns.
@symillickg The talent does, which is what I was talking about in the video.
awesome video, good brief explanation that makes sense keep it up homie
@tgnWorldOfWarcraft the rotation i use is gettin me up high in dps, about 7k single target at level 83, in mostly wotlk gear, but its complicated. i get my dieases up (icy touch/plague strike or outbreak, usually outbreak) then blood strike, scourge strike, festering to set up death runes. do a death coil, now you spam scourge strike/drain with death coil like no one's business, dark transformation when it's up. when all your death runes are spent go back to beginning. somethin to try, good vid!
@kpatt2006 Good news: warrior dps is through the roof at the moment. I'm seeing warriors, ferals, and DKs in my raids fighting for first place. Ferals don't seem as high from dummy tests, but I believe their dominance in raids is due to massive scaling (Rip's AP scaling was quadrupled recently...probably a huge overkill). Also, I just finished running a raid (vid coming soon) where I was Fury DPS and another warrior was Arms, and he beat me 15k to 13k. I'd say warrs are quite healthy.
@FunnyEu
This is on the PTR for Cataclysm (4.0.6) with pre-BWD/BOT/TOT4W blues, with no raid buff or mob debuffs. of course the dps is going to be low.
What Cromar is doing is giving you the BARE dps. Nothing over the top.
@HonkeyDonkey21
Since 4.3 came out, I read around on a couple of forums. Here is the list from best to worst Dk spec.
- Unholy two hander
- Frost dual weild
- Frost two hander
- Unholy dual weild
Dual weilding as an unholy Dk is VERY unviable
The dps between UH two hander and Frost Dual weild is marginable, so its basiclly down to personal preference.
I personally prefer Frost Dual weild
Isn't it like "Hmmm yeah!" when the ghoul shouts?:D
@Animestickman LOL, rogues have been blowing damage out of the water long enough, they can handle the backseat for just a week or so while everyone adjusts to no armor pen.
Don't forget: the more points you have within the spec the bigger your talent bonuses (blight caller) get! i would just get rid of the 2 extra points from blood and move it back to unholy. other than that, great video! cheers!
Omg thanks I needed this I just got my account back after 2 years and didn't know a rotation for my dk
@tgnWorldOfWarcraft
Yeah, you definitely want that for raids. As a main dk, there are too many fights like Sindragosa or Festergut where you can absorb magical dmg to spam deathcoil for the duration of AMS.
@AdiF50Ronaldo7 I think unholy would be best for leveling, largely because you have a pet to take hits for you and for your cloth allies.
Yea back in 3.3.5 when we had a lot more talent points, 1.7% DPS increase for 1 talent point was just amazing, but now it is a bit mediocre considering we have a lot less talent points now.
@antigravitydawgz srry don't have any recording software for it...however i play on shadowsong EU..
Kickasskick12 this was in cata beta with the ilvl 318 gear. 9k is very good for the gear he was wearing. Plus he isnt familiar with dk's as u might be.
@kefka151 well it depens on person to person.
I now it's single target, but I find D&A gives a massive DPS boost.
unholy is being noticed as the top dps todate in cata myself worgan dk in full raid buffs on a 5 min fight will hold dps past 20k single to key is to stack haste as fo mastery is useless un till new patch comes out witch will increase shadow dmg 2.5% for every point in mastery but being unholy haste is a key part in the regen procs such as deathcoil also macro your claw into your ss and urll see ur dps rise to the top any other questions regarding dks feel free to post below
At the moment survival hunter is the best dps class, also they have recently gave hunters the ability to use two handed weapons at lvl 1 instead of buying it at lvl 50
DK should be able to cast syphilis as a new disease
@WolfCriedBoy Mastery doesn't work that way... they talked about doing that but ultimately decided against it.
You should reset talents and get improved blood tap
@GearJak69 Lol good ears, I didnt notice it but now that you said it, he sounds just like him.
he is lvl 85, i can see the ability that copies an openents spell. thats the lvl 85 DK spell
@blaquecousteau Have you read the description?
@inlinetommy
In PvP there is no set rotation. what spells you use at any given time, is very situatuional
@Buraion Only one at a time.
i have an alement for this video. try using death and decay instead of scourgestrike when ever its up, it does more damge and i know this is for aoe but you want more debuffs on the target for festering strike. so the rotation is all diseases on target then unholy transformation for the ghoul then you death coil then festering strike then death and decay then death coil, because by this time you will most likely have nearly full bar of runic power. after this do DaD, FS, DC and keep your d's up
he never touched unholy might.
*last sentence , frost fever .
my bad reforge everything to haste after capping hit
I have to agree with a lot of things but (not saying im right its just how i play my dk) I go old school by useing IT and PS and i use outbreak as an emergancy back up. The reason I do this is because it builds up runic a bit faster to start and its a smaller boost of dps. If you wanna say why you open up diffrently im currious but nice vid
I think I understand now . I start with diseases by using icy touch , then plague strike . Then I use festering strike , then scourge strike and deathcoil when ready right . And I keep my diseases up and repeat ? Oh and the blood runes I still dunno what to do with them . Blood strike?
im new to wow and i just made an unholy Dk, my DPS is ok for lvl 63 but i love playing as a DK, lots of funn
what rune should i be using?
im using razorice at the moment but is anything else better?
love these videos extremely informative and a great starting point
to all those leeting about how they are better good for you but until you post a video about it keep it shut thank you
My hit is 3% m, I think that's why I freaking suck in heroics
@tgnWorldOfWarcraft Unholy isnt the best for leveling, frost is. Dual wielding--u crit with both ur weapons so u can get a 30k and a 20k crit at the same time almost 3 hitting a mob if ur lucky. and the DPS is awesome in dungeons and raids. Rune of the fallen crusader on main hand, and Rune of razorice on off hand. Rune of the fallen crusader has a chance of increasing ur strength by 15% and to heal urself overtime too. while rune of razorice does 2% additional damage.
its not 9k its OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
frost vs unholy presence for my dps test with decent gear i did 5.6k dps with unholy and 6.7k in frost presence why i dont know it just happend so i think frost is beter then unholy
u need to be in frost presence for the damage buff....
@MrValk97 Post one and let's see it then and then we'll compare if it's better or not
he is lvl 85 look at the title.
Thing is - throw them on a large group of mobs, and the Unholy dps will remain almost the same and the frost dps will sky-rocket :P
@AdiF50Ronaldo7 Unholy for pvp and frost for pve
if we wasnt 85 he wouldnt have dark simulacrum.
TYSM this helped my dps problem alot! i can now put out 14k dps! ty
So what is the best race for PVP as a DK? Preferably on the horde
Dident they changed that frost is dps and blood is tank and unholy is pvp
why not free mind freeze????
No Lichborne ????
i like the vids man keep them up but y is a rotation so needed besides to hit a couple necessaries i normaly hit whats up and i own i was able to beat a lvl 69 with a lvl 62 and he was a rogue
how many ghouls can you have up at once
You should use Death and Decay everytime you can it does more dmg than a scourge strike ! :)
yeah that was an awesome ability and good quick AOE
Wow I went forst in patch 4.2 because I heard it did more damage but I think I would of been better off with unholy because you press 3 buttons......plus cooldowns........SWEET RESPEC TIME!
@TheToxicana77 YOU ARE SO AWESOME!
again..nice vid..awesome class infos
...damn UH dps there...looking good
btw: 1st
What DK is best now ?!?!?!?!
im thinking about starting a dk, i play a warrior right now and i was wondering if its worth the switch
So it's better to use UH presence for Unholy? will look into this more when i get home :)
Did you just say your dps was... OVER 9000??????
which is better for the unholy dual wield or two hand
which one is best Blood Unholy or frost
Vegeta, what does the scouter say about his DPS?
It's over nine thousaaaaaaand!
Soooooo now you mean UH DK is more pet-dependent than BM hunter 0.o 36 % rly ?!
one question: without the "Master of Ghouls" talent in the unholy talent tree the goul will have time limit same as if you dont choose unholy talent tree?
sorry for the worst English pronunciation my inglish is not very well
@kickasskick12 look at his hp.. deff not in 85 gear.. plus a month before cata was released.. lol
It was OVER 9000!
If i had a better pc...
Bloodfever doesnt count as a disease for Scourge Strike ;)
gz you can make good
so what is the best for dg
frost or unholy can do good dps ?
so which tree is better for group dps? and what is the add on u use for damage calculation?
sorry but 9k for a lvl 85 isn't really that much my dk...item lvl 329...does more then 9k on the target dummy...way more...
Hopefully you can help me with this, i notice you keybinded s-1, s-4, s-9 etc on some of the action bars could you help me do that?
nope
how do you get the boxes on top of your action bar
Add ons ?!
God, i just love this silly comments when ppl suggest something on an outdated video ^^
should i make a frost dk or unholy dk?
let me see, i'll just have to hit 3 attacks, festering, scourge and death coil? just spam festering and use death and scourge whenever i can? pls answer. lol
I was wondering how to sign up for this server,to play on it?
What i need to do ?
WTFUCK? :O ...Feral druids always had the biggest fucking DPS. -.-
@8.02 he used a trinket skewing the dps. bad form
@tgnWorldOfWarcraft is it possible for an unholy DK to be a good tank in a raid or in a 10 or 25 man or even a 5 man group that u put together because i know u cant que in random dungeon finder as a tank like in live
what is better with unholy dual wield or 2h ?
lol blood does more damage even if its tank, plus u get fucked up very easy on unholy
you have not to use blood strike man
@shadowfigure2 damn Feral are doing better than rogues!!! Sad that a spec/talent tree for a class can do better dps than a WHOLE CLASS that is nothing but dps! >_>
Wich class do you enjoy the most to play? except Death knight, ive been watching almost all your videos, but i cant decide, i think warrior or warlock looks interesting, but i dont know how they are to play, so please comment! Thanks
@tgnWorldOfWarcraft and how about raiding? i am still not sure what is better. frost or unholy?
ok every1 im a xbox guy but now ive been getting into comp games like these swtor whats dps
Nvm got it , festering strike
@SiLeNcE138 wat
@TheTrollMr becouse that joke is GEIGH
Important question if you can help. I noticed in your key bindings you had s-4, s-1, s-3 ect. How did you get it like that?
Okay you use outbreak and than only scourge strike and festering?
Is it just me or are DK's looking a bit overpowered in Cata? Hopefully Blizz will fix the other classes.
nice dps but low crit and low crit power i prefer pala retri even now
on live at the moment theres Dks pulling 9k dps if you lvl 85 isnt that kinda low and im seeing warrior doing 13k dps live is there a reason for this
What is the most importent stat after u are expertice and hit capped plz say ?
@tgnWorldOfWarcraft rofl ur pet dont keep aggro. i got frost/unholy and frost is best dps but unholy do pwn in questing
