ICC DK - Sindragosa 25 Unholy DPS Death Knight Hartayke PoV

READ ME:

**MM is recruiting, see info at the bottom**

Hello again, fellow noobknights and anyone else watching.

First I would like to say thank you to all those who have subscribed to, rated, or commented on my videos. It means a lot to me, and it motivates me to keep making them.

This is my first time posting a video playing Unholy. I currently alternate between my Frost Dual Wield spec and Unholy based on what the guild needs on any given night.

For Frost, I provide Windfury when there is no Shaman available to do it. For Unholy, I provide Ebon Plague.

Ebon Plague is a highly underrated asset to any raid. There are no other debuffs in the game that provide the 30% disease damage increase, which is significant for Shadow Priests and any other DKs, especially if you use a DK tank.

The most important aspect of this debuff though is the 13% increase to magic damage taken. This is the same amount that Curse of the Elements and Boomkins provide. There is a major advantage to this one over theirs, however:

In packs of multiple mobs, you can spread Ebon Plague to every single one of them with a single Pestilence. What this means is that the entire raid's magic damage AoE is increased by 13%, which is huge. It would be just about impossible for CoE etc to do this, as they would have to tab through every mob one by one applying their debuff, which is entirely impractical, and takes out their entire dps probably for the duration of the entire pull or fight.

Finally, it is applied through our normal rotations, so there is no chance of simply forgetting to put it up, and it does not hurt our damage output to be applying it, whereas a Warlock has to give up their curse in order to keep CoE on the target.

Anyway, I still use Frost most of the time outside of progression raids, and inside it's a tossup depending on the composition of our raid. As I am currently the only progression raiding Deathknight in our guild, and have been for some time now, there is no one else to always play as Frost or Unholy, so I will be alternating these specs for the foreseeable future. I like it this way, anyway =).

Next Videos:

UI and Macro explanation video: This will be the next "How to Death Knight", finally. I made the first one because "what is your rotation" was always the number one question I got, and unfortunately, I simply do not have time to respond to every tell, email and comment I get. Now, the top question I'm asked is in regard to what mods and/or macros I use. Hence, I'm almost finished working on a video to show and explain them. Whether you love or hate my UI, I guarantee there are at least a couple mods that could up your game.

Unholy Rotation - Another in the "How to Deathknight" series, I'll be posting a video to explain the Unholy rotation for high end (well geared) content.

More ICC 10/25 videos, got lots of footage.

Professor Putricide - Dual Perspective: I'm working on my first dual perspective video that will feature the fight both from my view playing Frost DW, and from a healing priest's view. I'm hoping to do more "collaborations" like this in the future assuming it works out well, because the view from the boss's ass isn't always the best, especially with fights that have a lot of spell effects.

Subscribe to me to keep up with them. It only takes you a second, and it means a lot to me. As do all the comments, ratings, and emails I receive.

I HEART MY FELLOW NOOBKNIGHTS!

Mate, i saw dodges and parrys. you need expertise ;) maby 1 because no many.

Gr8 video tho :))

[rage17915]

@herynag As Unholy Expertise isn't that great a stat, definitely not something you aim for specifically. If nothing else, the main reason is because there is leeway

in the rotation, aka a spare GCD, to use on a dodge/parry.

When I play Frost DW, I am capped, as Unholy I only carry like 18.

6.6k aint bad:) my record on 10 man is 5.6 tho still no kills :(

[rage17915]

@mimer101 People often lose sight of the date my videos were made.

This was before the Hellscream buff even started, and before any heroic gear.

It was our first kill, 02-24-2010

@Kutujames Then you did it wrong, i easily kept up with frosties and unholies, even got past them. But only at singletarget fights. In aoe fights, unholy beats all :P

[Kutujames]

@Chireru93 HONESTLY Blood sucks...Frost and Unholy imo are the best specs,blood is good for tanking(Yes pre pre-cata event patch)...but thats just fro mmy experience lol
