Blood DK dps (pve)

#1 » Post by Kynyssael » 22 Mar 2013 00:01

(This is the first Guide i made, tell me if there thing that are missing =3)


Hello,

more and more people ask me about blood dps to ask if its Viable or not.

Yes it is!

In this topic, ill do a full guide about the Blood dk dps spec.

1.0 Introduction to Blood dps

2.0 Talent
2.1 Glyph

3.0 Rotation

4.0 what is bug about this tree?

5.0 Overview and Conclusion





1.0 Introduction
Somehow, people think Blood dk dps isnt good and can only pull crapy dps...
Well it isn't true! Blood dps is a high damaging two handed class.

This dps was took from Sindi fight, 25 man normal, when i was tombed twice during the fight

Dps from Fester 10 man

Your dps is mainly based on your melee attack and Heart Strike.

To be viable, Blood dps need to gem full arp to get to at least to 90% arp (10% bonus from talent) This is the way you will do the most dps for even low strenph.

When you are fully gemmed as Arp, you can start to change gem into either Strenph, or crit rate (carefull with crit cap)


2.0 Talent

For talent, there is few variation, but the main tree is mostly the main. YOur tree should be 51/0/20

Image

You can also change 1 point from Blood craced Strike to Epidemic if you are worry about disease timer.

2.1 Glyph

For glyph, there is two option.

Glyph of Death Strike
Glyph fo Dark Death
Glyph of Dancing Rune weapon

or

Glyph of Death Strike
Glyph of Dark Death
Glyph of Disease

i sugest for you to take the secound option to start with this dps spec. doign a pestilence here and there to refresh disease. But, for maximum damage, you want Glyph of Dancing Rune weapon. (It will last longer, meaning more damage from it)

3.0

Rotation is fairly simple.

For glyph set with Dancing rune weapon, you do it like this

IT > PS > HS (x2) > DS > HoW (horn of Winter) > Death Coil > DS > Hs > HS (then repeat)

for Glyph of Disease

IT > PS > HS (x2) > DS > HoW > DC > DS > Pestilence > HS (x5 that the funny part )

It is important to refresh disease as soon the are of, or to refresh them with the Glyph


4.0 Bug

few skill are bug in this tree sadly, and i would demend for them to be fix if possible =3

DRW (Dancing Rune Weapon) : This skill is only half Working. The damage from spell is apply (if oyu hit of 10k, you will see a 5k at the same time from your weapon) but the weapon doesnt apply its disease as it should, neither does it apply the melee attack of the player.

Blood Worm : Seriously, this talent make it pitiful. This is the reason people look down on blood dk. Thos agressive noob little worm. First the spawn number of worm is wrong. Only 1 spawn when it should be 2-4. Then, the damage they do. Blood worm should Give you 300 dps. right now, they only pull 30 dps on the best of they day.

Blood-craced blade: This talent is bug as the disease multiplier isnt affecting the damage at all.

5.0 Overview and conclusion

Blood dps spec as lot of good point, and it is a spec that can be use as pve and pull a great dps.

Most peple with them fail becose they dont know how to gem, the rotation and how to do they spell. But this guide is there for them.

IF i forgot anything, please mantion it to me, ill make modification also time from time.

Kudos on the guide.

The reason most ppl ignore Blood tree for dps is that the frost tree is soo bugged in a beneficial way atm that anyone with decent gear can out dps / dmg a similar geared blood dk.

But how abt posting a few Deathbringer / Festergut & Rotface recounts since Sindragosa is not a decent way to compare dps.

For those who want an indepth guide look here.

& for a gear list here, just scroll to the appropriate section.


Links fixed.

Pretty nice guide overall, although it could use a section on stats and probably a BiS listing. Also, some grammar cleanup and maybe a bit of work on the font size and colours of the headers so that we can differentiate the headers from the main body of the guide.

I'm surprised nobody touches on a huge benefit that blood has. It's a great boon to healers as Blood DPS require virtually no healing whatsoever from outside sources. Mark of Blood is waaay too overlooked. It's more than worth a minuscule dps decrease in order to become a boon to the MT... unless it's bugged that is. Utility matters. Nobody cares who tops the damage meters when the raid is wiped.

Fully fixed blood should be topping dps on single targets (only people like Fakepro thinks it sawks...cheers mate)...mark of blood is rarely in dps spec...rather a must have for blood tanking...u might rather want to maximise your dps income from talents (to shut up people that think blood dps is not viable for raiding)...dks have enough survival abilities...anti magic shell icebound fortitude...not to mention blood self-healing...

May i ask which blood talents/glyphs are still bugged?
When i played here a year/half a year ago i remember DRW and bloodworms to be quite buggy, and i'm not sure about the other talents.
Food is not the answer. It's the question. Yes is the answer.

Afaik the last core update should have fixed all the old bugs, only one that exists is pets (DRW / worms / ghoul) not attacking bosses at times till you move around or some boss ability damages the pet/you, due to TC's poor pet AI assist coding.
