Blood dps was always a meme spec, it was never good

And you just spammed heart strike, super fun gameplay

Blood boil, heart strike, death and decay, plague strike, icy touch, pestilence, dancing rune weapon.

Dont over simplify.

Yea, now talk about their real rotation

IT/PS followed by HS HS HS HS HS HS HS HS HS

Don’t over complicate

The same can be said for almost every class ever. And if its 3 buttons instead of 1, what more fun is that? Or going 123456. Is that really complicated? Get your head out of the clouds.

No obliterate? DPS loss. Out of range for a mechanic and not dumping death coil? Bad.

Dont short the LK version of the class. Blood was more than youre making it.

You never used obliterate, 2 heartstikes did more damage

And maybe don’t ruin a tank spec so the worst dps spec of DK can have people play it again, classic is right there

Edit: also its funny you forgot like the only other spell that mattered when you failed to correct me

You do use Obliterate. They dont share the same runes as heart strike and Obi does much more single target damage.

Why do you assume anything would be ruined?

The way modern wow is - there isnt any room for experimentation though. The tank specs are set in stone so they can be “balanced” (LOL) for the content.

By the way, I didnt fail to correct you - you were wrong:

Uh huh.

11

You did not use obliterate, you used deathstrike to turn those runes into death runes, to use more heart strikes lol

And its blizzard, its pretty obvious trying to make a spec be dps and tank would screw it up

12

First thing you said that was correct. Its just not in the cards for the modern game because everything is so sanitized.

Lol come on now, surely you’re not implying “use your ranged spell if you’re not in melee range” is a trick that requires skill? That falls under mindless common sense.

I found this picture on a guide:
https://www.warcrafttavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/blood-death-knight-dps-opener-rotation.jpg
Doesn’t seem like Malgorok is wrong. That’s a lot of Heart Strikes. And zero Obliterates.

I am unable to even find a guide that recommends using Obliterate.

Six abilities in pretty good rotation.

Heres Malgoroks initial comment:

Six abilties is pretty good.

16

Spamming HS was like 80% of it to be fair, you gotta give me that

17

Heh doing the math its 50%. But thats probably the same for Ret Paladins with crusader strike or warriors with Mortal strike. Its not unfun gameplay.

18

Literally 50% of the rotation in that picture is Heart Strikes. And that picture is for the opener.
That is “just spamming HS” as far as I’m concerned.

Sure, 6 abilities is a good rotation. If you’re using those spells more than once.
IT and PS are literally used once.

19

do you actually use obliterate? I use death strike instead it heals for a lot and the crits are huge as blood

20

No. 50% is not 100%. Also as I said earlier, its not much different than a lot of classes and isnt necessarily unfun.

IT and PS need to be once, but its still a four button rotation and that seems enough.
