    I think it's really essential to mention rotation/prioritization when it comes to PvP guide. Especially speaking about DK, it's really important to know when and how to keep diseases, how to make them unspellable, "the ideal rotation", burst etc. The information you provided here can be found in multiple PvP guides or in Nibbai's videos. If a newbie DK player watched your guide, they have no idea how to play the class.

    • @apexanalysis8348
      @apexanalysis8348  2 роки тому +6

      Yeah if a brand new player who's never hit chains of ice before they need a different guide that will be 10+ minutes in length. I could throw that in this but then I'm splitting people who are brand new dk babies and then everyone else who needs to know useful dk information. And there is a lot of misinformation out there

      i don't think trefort90 was talking about the baby stuff. this video IS the baby stuff. it's easy to look at pictures of talents and glyphs and professions and copy them. anyone can enter the arena with all the right talents and glyphs.
      what determines whether you win is how you play the game. the combat decisions you make. not equipping the items that say "Class: Death Knight" on them.

    Just some optimization when it comes to [target] conditional
    [target=apexhero] can become [@player]
    [target=pet] can become [@pet]
    [target=target] can become [harm] or if you have mouse over macros [@mouseover,nodead,exists,harm][] with empty brackets at the end this is just clears the conditions making it open for anything if no mouse over you can also use [harm] instead of empty brackets
    [modifier:shift] can become [mod:shift] and so forth also [nomod] to replace [nomodifier]

      No problem Charles, sure thing: Warr/hpal, DK/Hpal, DK/Disc, Disc, Feral, Sub/SP. Those are the main ones that are extremely hard to beat. So in general it's warrior/dk teams that will give you the most problems.

      I rarely use it myself, but it can add slightly higher burst if you use it when you're trying to burst someone down. But death coil + fast globals allows you to hit from ranged fast and with power so it's not really that important. No need to macro it with anything

    • @apexanalysis8348
      @apexanalysis8348  Рік тому +2

      Thanks Storm! Interesting. Well I would still suggest going rogue as the shadow/rogue synergy truly is amazing and really just requires the gear and skill which a lot of people can't get. But DK/shadow is a very fun comp that I have a good amount of xp with. It struggles with a lot of the comps that shadow/rogue can just roll over but in 3s they are about = in their best comps. So up to you and easy to play both even as DK gearing isn't as intense as rogues.

    Do you use Rune Strike or Obliterate at all? Also when should you be using Rune Strike or Death Coil and when should you be using Corpse Explosion / blood tap/ Pestilence/ Blood Boil. I cant seem to find a good guide on abilities or pvp "rotation"

    • @apexanalysis8348
      @apexanalysis8348  Рік тому +1

      Never use obliterate. Death coil being ranged with talents like morbidity + dark death glyph + death coil sigil + fast globals with unholy presence make it absolutely deadly. So rune strike will basically never be used. Blood boil never use in arenas, rarely in bgs, Pestilence will be used quite a bit to spread whenever possible that won't break CC. Blood tap is useful for death striking in a clutch situation or whatever is needed at the moment. Corpse explosion just use to help land a kill with heavy burst

I will be doing a 3v3 one sometime soon™ - But to answer your question ele/destro paired with an hpal OR rdruid are without a doubt the BEST options pretty much in general. The warrior variant (thundercleave) the warrior needs some pve gear but early on in wrath there isn't as much pve gear available so it's not hurt as bad as later on.

      @apexanalysis8348  2 роки тому +2

      I say do what you like as that is more important than min-maxing unless your goal is to do as well as possible. Personally I think shadowmeld works far better on classes/specs that are ranged as they have more time to react and shadowmeld things like chaos bolt, lava burst, death coil, etc since if you're up in their face as a melee you can't react with meld as quick. Shadowmeld is probably the coolest racial out of all races as well!

    I am rolling DK because an irl friend is rolling HPAL and I saw your videos re 2v2,3v3,easy comps, and effectiveness for no PVE gear (I hate raiding!).
    Also, in your warrior video, I get the feeling you suggest JC+BS over JC+Eng. Here you suggest JC+Eng to slightly edge over BS. Is there a specific reason the decision is different? Thanks!
    Lastly, what level do the professions have to be to reap the rewards? 400? or 375?

      Rewards for most profs are 400. BS for sure is 400 - But JC might be higher I don't recall exactly what was required

And both have 1-2 top tier 2v2 comps as well. The best double dps comps are definitely Unholy/Ret (also the ret can play preg) and then Unholy dk + Shadow priest which I've played the ladder a bunch.

      Yes I think human is still best. But a little less so with some of these changes they've made.

      The melee really need dispels badly for roots, cc, slows, so they don't synergize the best. I would rate TreeSG(dk, war, rdruid) probably a Tier3 comp and then Unholy/rdruid a low T2 comp at best but more likely a T3 comp. Rdruids in wrath really want to be paired with wizards in general

    • @apexanalysis8348

      That is crazy to hear, but that would be very interesting to see if that were to happen as I'm sure it would spill into pvp as well. I do think there is viability as there isn't any talent in particular that gives a bonus to 2her damage for unholy(besides the talent in blood) but we can't afford to get that with any good pvp build. So definitely something I need to look into/look out for. Thanks for this!

In PvP you will be kited at all times, and your white damage is not going to account for the majority of your damage unless your opponents are brain dead.

      Hey Glad it helped, unholy is by far the best spec. Frost can be good too but blood is not very strong. It's main plus is just having much higher survival than the other 2 specs. But it's damage is just a fraction of what the other two can do. In the original Wrath DK's were busted early on and they could play all sorts of specs.
