Unholy tanking
Posted: 28 Aug 2018 13:18
For a considerable time I was playing (including RS10nm and ICC10hc/25n) as Unholy dk tank with this build:
https://truewow.org/armory/talents.php? ... alm=t&sp=0
But recently I´ve been reading a bit about UH tanking (there isn´t much theorycrafting out there) and I find this build to be more optimal:
https://truewow.org/armory/talentcalc.p ... 53&realm=t
The idea with the first build was to go down the UH tree to get Bone Shield and provide the raid with Ebon Plaguebringer debuff while going into frost tree to get more avoidance from Frigid Dreadplate to increase Bone Shield uptime (which is now from 20 to 50 sec with a lot of dodge gems, hoping to increase the average uptime with better gear). However, I am thinking of taking the second build as Ebon Plaguebringer is supplied in raid by balance druid or warlock and blood susbspec gives a lot of handy talents and the benefit from Frigid Dreadplate can be achieved by being night elf (the racial giving more avoidance). I would appreciate any constructive feedback, especially whether to keep Frigid Dreadplate to keep Bone Shield uptime or go for blood subspec for Rune Tap, Spell Deflection, Veteran of the 3rd War and Mark of Blood.
Note that single and aoe thread is good enough I believe so at this stage I am aiming for the highest survival.
