Blood Dk

Well i thought i would start our new blog with some thing, so here is my Blood Dk Talents/Spec. It is what i am using at the moment for Tanking and PvPing

The talents below are 4.0.6 talents since the server i play on is on this patch.



Blizzard has removed the defence rating in WoW and given all the tanking classes a Druid like talent which makes them Uncritable same as 540 Defence rating used to do. Since a Dk can't use a Shield, so our class does not have the ability to Block an attack, instead we absorb the damage, via our Blood Shield which is applied by using death strike. The death strike ability heals us and puts on a Shield depending on our mastery rating. At the moment my one death strike gives me 13k damage absorb shield and heals me for 10k hp. The fun part is that this Shield stacks up, so if i put up a shield for 12k and I take 5k damage and i apply another shield over it, i get a 19k shield and so on,  depending on how much damage i am taking.

In Cata tanking has changed so much that one cannot Afk tank a boss, plus the raid is no longer depended on a Tank or Healer. If a Dps makes a Mistake the raid wipes and tank can no longer depends on the healer to save the day as we used to do in Wotlk. All tank (Warrior. Paladin, Druid or Dk) have to apply their own Shields in order to stay alive rather than hope for the healer to save them.

mmmm, i guess this will do for my 1st Real post on this blog, i hope you guys like it.

I will write more on tanking and Death Knights soon :)
