My dude, a 1 rune ability is not comparable with a 2 rune ability like that.

This doesn’t make blood the de-facto tank spec in WotLK. Cause it simply isn’t.

My god reading is hard for you. But you know what please main tank as Frost in Uld and ICC, cause I can enjoy a good laugh kid.

[Kastayoni-benediction]

I OT as frost some. You could MT as frost. Algalon would be the only time it would be a real problem.

[Brolysuper-atiesh]

I seriously doubt it

[Delimicus-benediction]

Cool Strength of Wrynn buff. Cool private server.

Are you going to keep embarrassing yourself? Post on your main for extra clown points.

@Kaslain-bloodsail-buccaneers

Once trial opens up I’d expect to see more DKs reroll to Blood to try it out when they get a few more penetration items and more again when Icecrown Citadel releases.

That’s what I plan to do… I love the blood talent tree.

Everyone forgets this is the pre-cataclysm patch. Not the Cataclysm Prepatch, however it was the pre-prepatch. The direction they were moving in.

@Aggamwoggarg-rexxar

however it was the pre-prepatch.

Lol, what?

[Aggamwoggarg-rexxar]

If you think, it makes perfect sense. When one does not think and merely attempts to be condescending, it does not. It indicates direction, and the end of Wrath was already moving in a bastardized direction.

You do realize that was an actual buff in 2010 right? XD (btw both factions had this buff). You don’t think guilds are gonna use that buff when it comes out in wotlkc?

Btw love how you modified those sim results kid. Copied your exact gear loadout on a sim patchwerk fight and at most Blood was 13.5k.

Tsk tsk

At the risk of sounding repetitive.

Lol, what?

If this was a pattern that happened across multiple expansions that noticeable changed classes around then you might’ve had a point.

Blood, however, is just fine dps in 3.3.5.

Yeah, and my 15k sim doesn’t include the buff.

@Brolysuper-atiesh

It’s not my problem you don’t know how to sim. Are you mad because some Blood DPS outdpsed you in your normal mode Ulduar or something?

[Brolysuper-atiesh]

@Delimicus-benediction

Yeah, and my 15k sim doesn’t include the buff.

But let me guess you used a Hysteria buff which is what 5% less than a full stacked Wyrnn/Horde Buff /shock face try harder next time kid.

But with that logic a Wyrnn buff alongside a Blood DK using Hysteria Buff would almost double the damage of a UH and or Frost so you’d think guilds would just stack them in ICC…oh wait they didn’t cause Blood DPS was garbage.

Wait isn’t this thread all about fixing Blood DPS???, sooooooo if it was actually that 15k in sims you’d think everyone would be just playing Blood DPS and it wouldn’t need fixing by the time ICC comes out…uh oh

@Delimicus-benediction

It’s not my problem you don’t know how to sim. Are you mad because some Blood DPS out dpsed you in your normal mode Ulduar or something?

Yea so afraid towards thee worst dps spec in Uld…wait they might beat an Arms Warrior nvm so I’m luckily I don’t main a Arms Warrior (RIP Arms Warriors).

[Delimicus-benediction]

@Brolysuper-atiesh

wouldn’t need fixing by the time ICC comes out

It doesn’t, it’ll be a great DPS spec in ICC gear. I never claimed it needs fixing; the only thing that might need fixing it DRW because I’m seeing a lot of reports and math indicating it’s not doing the proper amount of damage.

@Brolysuper-atiesh

Yea so afraid towards thee worst dps spec in Uld

I bet I outdps you with my Blood DK. Post on your main.

April first is over, blight club is done memeing on yall.

[Delimicus-benediction]

Blood DPS was just buffed cause Feral was buffed.

There indeed was a direction Blizzard took in World of Warcraft which continued into retail, that blood was to be the tanking spec, and this started shortly before we went into Cataclysm.

[Chogara-rexxar]

I don’t know how people can seriously say things like “blood wasn’t designed to DPS this patch” when sites like bloody Elitist Jerks back in the day actively maintained guides for it up until Cata.

Like it or not all 3 Death Knight specs (yes even in 3.3.5) are designed to be functional DPS and Tanks.

Blood is another victim of “all my damage is physical and/or weapon based” which means its damage needs a lot of gear support. Warriors and to a lesser extent Ret have the same problem.

Blood was powerful and fully viable in Icecrown just like its two brother specs were.

If Blood does need a damage increase, depending on how much of one it actually needs, the easiest/coolest way would be to just give DPS Blood access to Rune Strike.

Make 5/5 Blood Gorged, 3/3 Might of Mograine or something like that deep in the tree enable free use of Rune Strike while in Blood or Unholy Presence. Would immediately fix any single target issues the spec may have, which is probably good enough (the other two specs already have good AoE, I think Blood having great single target is enough)

In Cataclysm. Yes.

In WotLK? No.

Just stop.

[Aggamwoggarg-rexxar]

@Jeynar-mannoroth

In Cataclysm. Yes.

In WotLK? No.

You realize breaking it up like Cataclysm or WotLK is just as ignorant as breaking up music by the 60s and the 70s. Music from 69 and 71 are far more alike than music from 62 and 67 were, or than from music in 72 and 79 were. Vision for the game is independent of expansion.

Chronologically, the very end of Wrath had a consistent drift towards the mentality we saw throughout Cataclysm.

Just stop.
