Definitely gonna need you the closer ClassicWOTLK comes. I main DK in retail but never played one back in original WOTLK as a kid, so it's gonna be a whole new world for me. Thanks for these videos! Cheers ^^
Great guide! 1 comment i need to make is in the consumables section (because this is for wotlk classic) most people use warcraft logs especially if you're in a good guild and due to a change in warcraft logs if you use a battle chicken the logs will become invalid and youre guild will not want you using it. in tbc our engineers are currently supper POed about this. only reason i bring it up is its BOP so alot of serious people will go gnomish for the battle chicken and then swap to goblin for sappers and itll waste time/materials to get this item
Been playing DK past 13 years. This video is realy good reminder how to play in wrath! Dude keep content up! If you have some realy deep Insides / Realy minor min max things , you realy should make video about it! :)
There isn’t a discord, but I’ll continue to post DK content as often as I can as it’s my favorite class. I’ll give you guys the best answers to your questions as frequently as I can via this channel and my twitch!
Late to the video, but, is there anyway you could also put out a leveling guide for unholy DK? Specifically with talents? Maybe also do like a step by step on your rotation? Really excited about DK!
@@Rugsz Was coming here to comment the same. Your vids have been getting me HYPE for WOTLK but I was sad to not see any frost stuff on your channel. Keep up the good work man.
@@poopnukem4079 man they’re both so great and desirable. As long as Classic wrath gives us good gargoyle scripting then you can’t pick wrong. Try out both and stick with the one you like best
Hey, dont really understand the tip with scripting gargoyle that meles. Does it mean, when im in melee and nuking some boss / group of mobs i should go out of melee to summon him or when some boss / group of mobs only melee i shouldnt summon him in melee ?
Hey Rugs, As usual, nice work! One question, aren't there 4 phases in WotLK PvE-wise? Phase 1: Vault of Archavon (1st Boss), Obsidian Sanctum, The Eye of Eternity & Naxxramas Phase 2: Vault of Archavon (2nd Boss) & Ulduar Phase 3: Vault of Archavon (3th Boss), Onyxia's Lair (Revamp) & Trial of the Crusader Phase 4: Vault of Archavon (Last Boss), Ice Crown Citadel & Ruby Sanctum With other words, you're gonna stick with phase 3 Trinkets like forever? In that case it would make me feel happier, it feels more like the Vannila/TBC progression philosophy... Thanks in advance, have a good one!
But ultimate yes you’ll use double DV/DC until you kill heroic LK. After that, there’s room for you to farm ICC and reassess a new meta for unholy trinkets that include the RS ones as well
@@Rugsz Thanks a lot for sharing this. It's kinda silly and fun at the same time that so many websites are providing incorrect data. Think about it for a few seconds... WotLK is about 12 years old and there's still plenty of room to discover if it comes to theorycrafting/min-maxing. Looking forward to see more Class guides in the near future, it would be cool if you can add (pre) BIS lists for each phase and provide your thoughts about enchants as well. Cheers!
Hey Rugs will you possibly go into Weak auras and addons you used in your Grobbulus Unholy dk video, or share them. (On twitch). I find a lot of them to be very well made and would enjoy using some as a base.
Picking the Runic Power talent ( Dirge )over the one that increases Plague/Scourge Strike ( Outbreak ) damage seems weird. Isn't Scourge Strike the main attack for Unholy?
blood subspec, why we dont take OUTBREAK on unholy ? maybe we can sacrifice crit chance from dark convic ?? or maybe remove morbidity and take outbreak ? what u think
Hey so I've played uh dk on quite a few pservers, was just wondering what you think of insane str pot over haste pot, had a guild leader who had me farm the recipe because he said it was more beneficial for me.
the haste pot is 100% better for the purposes of the snapshot on gargoyle. Insane strg is good, but mostly only good for really niche fights and burst windows of dmg. Even then, I'd still want to use haste pot on Unholy--I'd really only strength pot on Frost DK for fights like Hodir HM for example.
My only recommendation from my personal experience (also played on a progression server from start to finish as unholy) is that tailoring should beat out jewelcrafting in terms of DPS gains because of snapshotting your gargoyle. It's also way easier to level and make lazy gold off of so that's nice too. I'm personally extra lazy/money hungry so I'll even take enchanting too even though I know that engineering is better. I generally would top 1-3 DPS on pretty much every fight during progression and farm content all the way from Naxx to ICC 25 heroic so I never felt like I needed it. Also I will say that I generally prefer frost subspec over blood subspec even if it's the start of the expansion. It synergizes with both Necrosis and Blood-caked Blade, so it should win. This is also an important boss debuff and is basically our version of improved Thunderclap from icy talons. Furthermore, I would take a look at 3 points into Outbreak (3rd tier unholy) and getting rid of Unholy Blight and Dirge. I personally was never super impressed by Unholy Blight's damage and Dirge felt outpaced by Outbreak because the extra runic power felt unnecessary. The spec would otherwise be completely the same. I tried out the Dirge/Unholy Blight spec during Ulduar and I just couldn't get it to beat Outbreak. That all being said, I wouldn't be surprised if even with these changes that it's so close in output that it doesn't really matter, and your opener/melee uptime/snapshotting accuracy will be the primary deciding factor in an Unholy's DPS. Just my own personal take, great video otherwise. My only gripe is that you could have recorded yourself performing the opener on a target dummy or something and possibly highlight when you have a prime snapshot moment to gargoyle. Possibly slowing down the recording at key moments when needed. The unholy DK opener sounds brutal to perform at first, but it really comes down to muscle memory after a handful of weeks.
Im playing retribution for tbc and i love the difficulty of twisting perfectly. and since they remove twisting in wotlk im not so keen on it. and thinking of unholy. it seems like unholy has abit of a skill cealing wich is what i want. is it something you would recomend?
Hey buddy I've played ret and I main unholy in many wotlk P servers. Ret is extremely fun and easy, you'll switch from seals depending if your aoe or single target. Unholy is all about keeping your diseases up and dumping your runic into death coils, It takes practice but it's very easy once you get it locked down.
Tailoring is a great choice, but playing around the proc can be a bit finicky at times. I'd still rate the raw flat stats from JC higher. Also be aware that tailoring is a dead profession for DKs in PVP if you plan on doing that, as you'd want +35 spell pen enchant on cloak instead.
@Rugs thoughts on Reaping? I remember using it when I played original Wraith. Also I am curious why you didn’t take Outbreak as it buffs Scourge Strike our hard hitter.
Yeah I thought not taking Outbreak but taking Dirge was weird too. And is Reaping really worth it just for an extra Scourge Strike? I feel like a Scourge Strike isn't much higher in DPS than 2 Blood Strikes and an extra 3 Talent Points.
Heya, awesome & clear vid! Good job! One question I have though is about Wandering plague. I've read and from my own (limited) testing, it seems that wandering plague has severely reduced impact on diseases spread by Pestilence. Wandering plague would have a 1s ICD and diseases spread by Pestilence tick at the same time = only 1 shot at proccing wandering plague but also only 1 proc if both ticks crit. Do you have any knowledge on this? I tend to play with glyph of disease e.g. so does that mean I cuck myself badly by using it?
Hey man wondering if I could ask a question. Looking to play the WoTLK Classic when it comes out. I played back in the day on original WoTLK and Vanilla before this. Also the latest classic. I’m not very good at arena and like to do some casual BGs aswell as PvE content. Was wondering which you would recommend, DK, Ret Pala or Mage? Not sure which you’d say it the easier of the three and easier to master. Appreciate the help!
I'm pretty sure the rune refresh mechanic after a doge, if it works properly will devalue expertise even more. I think it's just slightly off in your statweights. Sorry for the rude comments on other videos.
It also should be noted that if you don't reach certain breakpoints with str/haste gems str/crit should be stronger. In Multitarget fights str/crit gems also pull ahead.
How are you generating these values for stat priority? In retail it's as simple as running a Sim through Raidbots, but I wasn't aware that something like Raidbots existed for Classic.
i am new to dk and praticing on Pserver atm be4 classic. wondering why unholy over forst. also worth it to go Orc over human for PVE but be not as good in PVP? i wanna do it all this time around. i missed it back in 2009.
Can you tell how to play the dual wild Uh spec? Which enchants are you using on weapon? Which Talents? Is it really better early on and when do we swap to 2hand? Would be very nice if you could help
I'm confused as why you apply your diseases before you go blood presence? you snap shot them with unholy presence on them which means they don't have the +15% dmg from blood presence
We aren’t running glyph of disease so the disease damage snapshot isn’t being refreshed anyway. The unholy presence is WAAAAY better for gargoyle’s snapshot than for your opening disease snap
I really like this video. I plan to main blood but I have considered taking this as OS. My question for you is twofold: 1) is this considering the Dual Wield setup that you made a video on a couple weeks ago? 2) I noticed in the stat weights you have in parenthesis (Before hit cap), what is the stat weights for hit after hit cap?
How much of your damage output is scourge strike/plague strike cause those 3 points in outbreak are looking super juicy. Dirge on the other hand or most points in the blood tree...
Its ok guide for starters. But for end game have many flops. For glyphs you will use for ghoul, frost fever, and for pestilence, or you will miss 1 scourge strike and waste 1 gcd. Your dmg source will be from top to bottom from you melee, frost fever, blood plague, scourge strike and then death coil. If you play horde if you will chose orc. If you start near boss (LK for example) you opener will be blood strike for 5% dmg for all you attacks. PS Rugs your editing is amazing
Yep you make great points for an unholy DK who has abandoned T9 4p and is doing a lot more physical dmg for sure! Thanks man! I’m working real hard on the editing so I appreciate that brother
Hey mate, during the opener if none of your trinkets have proced do you hold off and wait for procs before summoning your gargoyle or do you just use it anyways with the heroism? Thanks
hey man, rly great vids. Im pumping all your videos, im planing to main feral dps und Wrath. would be nice if u good an guide like this maybe includet pre bis and bis lists for all Phases
One question i have currently playing progress server t7 me and naother dk i always have WAY more gargoyle dmg better snapshots on it but he always beats me on frost fever damage and scourge strike. do note we have literaly the same gear and im pretty certain i do my rotation as flawless as possible. still always kinda weird to see he does way more frost fever damage while my gargoyle dmg shits on his
RUGS!!!!!!!!! I need your help BRO!!!! I really want to roll a 2h frost DK(I know DW is more optimal) and have some questions about runes usage. The talent set up I want to run is 02/51/18, Basically UH sub set to get Blood-Caked Blade. The other talent set i was thinking is 13/51/7 to get Death Rune Mastery to make sure most of my runes are death runes (In my mind this seems like a good early expac build to make it easier to spam obliterate without worrying too much about what runes are up). I plan to roll Horde, so I'll be going Orc for the racials. Any tips would be appreciated, or even a small vid demonstrating rune usage on a target dumby. Thanks for all the vids and a happy new year!
No, as frost you never go into Death Rune Mastery. If you wish to get as many Obliterates as possible which is 3x Obli. You go into the Unholy tree for epidemic (21 second diseases) which allows you to 3x obliterate without diseases falling off. In phase 1 and two you don’t take “Blood caked blows”. This is because early phase weapon dmg is trash and the Bloodsub with Dark convection and Bladed armor gives you too much value compared to minimal damage from blood caked blows in Phase 1. Alongside bloodsub giving you 2hand spec which would help with 2H frost. Depending on how talents are released, DW frost with full blood sub is confirmed optimal till around late Ulduar.
great guid only thing i wud argue is outbreak vs necrosis in talants (btw wud by great if you mentined sigil of the wild buck bis sigil in p1 aloot ppl dont know ebaut it)
Definitely gonna need you the closer ClassicWOTLK comes. I main DK in retail but never played one back in original WOTLK as a kid, so it's gonna be a whole new world for me.

Great guide. I think it's also worth mentioning how you can snapshot rogue tricks with your diseases. And also when to pestilence early
Love watching your content man, randomly found it from the youtube algorithm. I guess because I watched some of anfalls stuff.
This guide was a godsend. Thank you Rugs!
Love the content. Thinking of rolling a DK at the start of the expansion.
Awesome content with really great tips for new players, keep doing it - Kony
Would be nice to see what the "normal" rotation is aswell :)
patiently waiting for the blood video :)

I'd really like to see more in depth discussion of gearing, especially t9.5 vs t10 situational use.

Iam DK player for long time too. Nice guide. Also idk why i always prefer reaping build/frost subspec.

I think phase 4 could either split into a phase 4.5 with RS or just a full 5th phase

Do you have a video for frost DK ?
Do you happen to have sim sheets for Unholy?
has the talents or rotation changed for 2h for phase 3 and 4?
absolutely. this guide is very out of date at this point. I'd recommend checking out discord.gg/ebonhold for latest unholy stuff
What is the best class for paladins (ret/tank/holy)?
can you plz make a video only about dk's rotation? :(
Why use dnd/army pre snapshot?
great guid only thing i wud argue is outbreak vs necrosis in talants (btw wud by great if you mentined sigil of the wild buck bis sigil in p1 aloot ppl dont know ebaut it)
