Hi there guys,
I specced Unholy for my guild RBG team and i'm going to learn to play it in arena too so I can fit both play styles (Drain - UH, Burst - Frost).
My questions are:
How can I increase my survivability? I went into a few random BGs to learn UH prior to the RBGs in the evening and if a group encountered me I would die very quickly without my 80% Heal macro (Glyph of empowerment + Death pact) and of course a healer to back me up, where if I was frost I could sustain a little longer.
What is the best level 100 talent? I used Necrotic plague for RBGs and was 2nd/third on the damage meter for most if not all battlegrounds, so it was doing the damage fine, however i'm finding if I use Breath of sindragosa and plain DoTs, I will have more instant DoT damage and once my ghoul has hit Dark trans I will have a lot of RP to dump, so this will give me a bigger burst.
How do I keep my pet on my target and use his stuns on my focus target instantly? I found in RBGs that I couldn't mount up as my ghoul was chasing a target that was left so I was still in combat, once a fight is over do i need to put him on 'passive' and then swap him back to 'assist' or is there an easier alternative, same for keeping him on my target do I need to keep manually clicking 'attack' on the target I'm on to keep him on my target or is there also an alternative setting? To get my ghoul to use his stun on my focus unless the healer is quite close to me he doesn't seem to use the stun even if I spam it, the macro i'm using is '#showtooltip Gnaw /cast [@Focus] Gnaw', so help on that?
Finally, Chillblains or asphyxiate? I've found it gives me more CC if I go with chillblains as I get a root, a stun and a silence, is that the best option?
If you actually took the time to read this and give me advice it is VERY apreciated!
