Seems like you're doing everything right, 50 strength on bracers is the only thing I could see that you need to upgrade =) (I don't have strength on my bracers yet either, not many enchanters have the enchant yet xP)

I know I have PvP bracers, prior to having those I had 318 green bracers from Twilight Highlands.

[Sabtheshaman]

@ Bloodwrathes - Looks good, I would suggest maybe getting the crafted chest. You have an awful lot of hit considering the bulk of your dps comes from dots and your pet.

@ Sabtheshaman
Gear wise it looks like your progressing fine and assume you are working on getting the i359 boots when exalted. Both trinkets are pretty weak but you'll basically just have to run Stonecore, ToT, GB and hope one drops + TB faction if your close to exalted.

Gemming I'm personally not a fan of the parry/mastery gem. I prefer the Stam/X combos and you might as well go Mastery all the way if thats what your going for. You also have a str/mastery gem which needs to go away. Try to reforge away more dodge and less parry until they are closer to even % wise.

Not a fan of the talent choices, Blood Caked Blade really does us no practical good, after 4.0.6 I'm getting close to 10k DPS at i350 so the points are better of spent in Lichborne or epidemic. If it's not a survival boost in the Blood tree you can put those points elsewhere. I never use Blood Boil anymore unless it's a AoE mob situation (like the adds on Stonecores 1st boss) so again those are points you could put elsewhere and get more mileage out of.

@SurrealNight

Can't see much wrong with your gear/gem/reforge choices. I assume you're running your daily heroics and raids for Valor Points to upgrade your pieces. As your chest is already of epic quality I would suggest going for tier11 leggings next, despite the fact that they may drop in Baradin Hold. Your hit is slightly low, but who's isn't these days really. Dodge and parry nicely balanced, and while you may consider Rune of Swordshattering for your weapon over Stoneskin Gargoyle (a lot of discussion on the subject at the moment, as far as I'm aware) for a little extra avoidance.

I would like to point out that I am an avid user of Blood Boil in AoE tanking situations, hence why I've picked up Crimson Scourge over Epidemic. I also go disease-less most of the time unless my Outbreak is up or my debuffs are needed. I also like the Hand of Doom talent, simply because of its utility in 5-mans. I am contemplating moving a couple of points from Blood and into Epidemic, but we'll see about that.

I'm actually going for the T11 chest next (At 980 VP and haven't raided yet =D), so I didn't see a reason to spend gold on a chest that's going to be replaced in a week or two anyway.

[Fanor]

@Seregon
I'm going to rate you 9/10 plain and simple. I don't get why people socket pure stamina at this level in raiding, when something like stam/parry would be better. Although, for the JC epic I will agree with that.

Mine is: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/characte...%C3%A1n/simple
This is actually my OS, but I cannot log into wow and change it. Although I am quite proud of it. 17k+ in my raids.

In overall decent but gemming for worthless socket bonuses kind of sux.

Hey guys, i've noticed a lot of these threads for other classes, but none for death knight , and even doing a search for it didn't bring one up, so, i think it would be a good idea to start one and help each other improve

As far as i know, you've done nothing wrong, as you said about tanking, i'm no expert on tanking, only what i've done previously, really only thing to work on is getting more heroic over 359 gear, Good job!
( and thanks, didn't notice those enchants, trying to be best geared i can before we/i start raiding )

[ZZSmokey]

@ twilight, 6/10, gemming is poor for tanking, replace every stam gem with either mastery or stam + mastery or parry + mastery or dodge + mastery all depending on the gem socket color, also the darkmoon card for tanking is complete crap, get the crab thing from heroic throne of the tides or throngus' finger from heroic grim, either are better than that card, reforging is also off, reforge expertise/hit to mastery and if it already has mastery but no avoidance reforge to dodge/parry dodge has priority but never reforge avoidance for mastery, hit/exp cap are not important to dk tanks.

@ virtua, 8/10, could use a LOT more mastery since it is actually more viable than haste

ZZsmokey / Zulrantis:
Looks brilliant to me, 9 / 10, gl on getting the last few normal kills and then heroic gear! Then you'll be topping the scale


Looking to dust off my DK that I haven't done anything serious on for months.. I was recently refered to askmrrobot and it is telling me to gear / gem very differently than I am doing atm. I have tried to not neglect stam on gems, since my gear lvl is pretty low, so I haven't felt like I could just go all in on mastery and avoidance.
Anyhow, would really appreciate some feedback on askmrrobot's recommendations for me and how my armory is looking atm.

-Never reforge avoidance into hit/exp instead do the opposite.
-Change your spec, Having Scarlet Feaver but no Epidamic? Endless winter is nice if and only if you run 10man content and are on permanent interupt duity.
-Personally I have found that Blood Parisites are a waste of 2 points, but thats just my personal opinion and experiance.
Your glyphs are just abortion
-Change either Ds or Hs from your prime and replace it with Death Coil.
-Vamp Blood glyph is a waste, the added hp is godly during high incoming damage. Replace it with either ams or pestilance.
-Glyph of Deaths Embrace does not work with Litchborne now, so it is a waste, please replace

All in all minor things to be changed, as being an outdated character, its not bad off.

ZZsmokey, reforge some of that parry into dodge bud, with horn, keep them within the same numbers (usually the same % as well)

[Twilightdawn]

Hawkx, i strongly disagree on the part about the blood parasites, they work extremely well for me, periodically getting 12k heals is great

[Pellaeon]

In regards to Twilightdawn (http://us.battle.net/wow/en/characte...tdawn/advanced) all I can see is three missing enchants at first glance. Everything else looks alright, but since I don't tank with a DK I may have missed something.

You're a bit over hit cap, you should try wiggling your Reforge around to drop about 65ish hit(just an estimate). And your bracer enchant could be better(though I don't blame you I use a cheaper one as well). You could do with some tier pieces about now, and start working towards the 4 piece. And the crafted belt is a bit better than the one you're using, as well as fairly cheap.

Army in my sig, Kahlan.

[Hawkx]

Hawkx, i strongly disagree on the part about the blood parasites, they work extremely well for me, periodically getting 12k heals is great

Over a period of 2 10 minute fights, I had 1 proc(they actually healed), Using glyphed runetap (up roughly 100k group healing per 30 seconds+ on demand during aoe damage)> 12k /20 minutes(random)

http://us.battle.net/wow/en/characte...hawkz/advanced

[Naus]

@ Kahlan 9/10, good luck on your heroic attempts! Lost a point becasue you are 2 hander, BAH! ^.^

@Hawkx. Glyph of Vampiric blood is pure awesome sauce. 40% extra healing. Which affects your DS heal (not shield), RT heal, blood worm heal, healers heal, Lichborne heal. If you need that extra HP you will probably will be close to death. The extra heal will help more in the short run / long run than the extra HP will because your healers spells hit you for a lot more. Thus saving them mana and getting you up quicker.

Read siggy.

[Kreo]

Hawkx, awesome 9.9/10, but can't agree with Naus, you have to time your DS with VB, sometimes you don't have any time for that.
At least for me, VB is "oh sh*t" button, or when big hit incoming.

Here's me
I really can't decide, whats bettero to reforge on boots and back, get rid of mastery or expertise. I'm so close to the exp cap...

Looks great, though If I were you I'd enchant haste or str on the bracers and reorge the mastery on band of bees to hit 9/10 to me (with 10/10 being "can't see anything wrong at all")

Also, I don't think Kahlan is much like a deathknight :/ name doesn't fit!

Edit: grr, shouldn't leave a forum un updated for as long as I did there...

Ignore the funky pvp frost specc i probably have as you read this, take a look at the gear instead (PvE frost).

[Hawkx]

Everything seems to be in order maxie, blood spec/glyphs are iffy, see my earlier post about some glyph changes, but your frost gear is a pass excpet one thing i can see an improvement on are your leg gemming choices, having a bonus of 20 str and gemming 2 str gems with yellow and blue sockets, you could do better, but again, that is a very minor suggestion.

-Oh and 50 crit to cloak, I run my dps gear still with the wotlk 23 haste chant as 2h frost, its my offspec so I am not 100% set on which is better tho.
