    Re: 3.1 PvP build

    I'll update my thread (in signature) soon concerning PvP specs.

    Added some Frost specs already.

    Would gladly add some posted here too

    Finally managed to get on the PTR last night after about 3 days of my character copy being "Sucessful" (But it still took the copy when i was 79 not 80) and the first thing i did was to go try out unholy, no DPS glyphs, just bone armor and pestilence and found that scourge strike was hitting for about 2.1k and critting for close to 6k (With the scourge strike sigil).

    Plague strike crits hit for about the same as my autoattack crits, blood strike hurts more etc.

    Now considering that unholy was pretty much hands down the best pvp tree but was lacking a bit in DPS compared to the other trees but now the DPS is really high and survivability is high too, i don't think it'll go live like this but you never know.

    Now, for specs, obviously unholy for PVP, at least in my view so...

    Probly going to be my spec, glyphs are you're choice, i've still not decided but i've pvped with specs very close to this on live and never had much trouble except for those damn SURV hunters and the soon to be nerfed monkey glyph, damn right.

    no reaping? no NotD? (for arena) AMZ isnt all that great anymore, id rather skip that and add reaping to my spec, and skip 1 point somewhere to get 2/2 NotD
    Don't Fwoosh me.

    I should probly clarify, i'm not arena ready, this spec is more for BGs where pvp is for amatures, also i'm still unsure about reaping, i may take it, may not but i still love my AMZ Perhaps when i get enough gear together i'll respec, hopefully i won't get bored and move on to another class, a more suitable spec WOULD be...

    I think I would go with this personally

    This bro told a cool story on 2009-12-03 and proudly took part in the banfest.

    It seems that the bottem of the tree is always the same, excluding NoTD, and the general concensus is that 17-20 points in blood is pretty much normal too, The best thing to do is just spec into what you feel comfortable with (Within reason) Depending on what you prefer and have may make or break certain games, going to hit AMZ when you don't have it is gonna be a pain, and a dead ghoul pretty much nullifies the point of having one.

    well, if its a BG spec, id get Rune Tap, as its really nice having in BGs when you have to go from 1 fight to another, beeing able to restore your HP is really a lifesaver. Also, AMZ can be quite useful in BGs to save your ass with, so you might as well pick that up too then, as for NotD, nobody is going to kill your pet now anyway, atleast not many, so skip that and go with something such as:

    Frost without HB. Going to try it for 2v2.

    Frost with HB.

    I'm a frost fan. Unholy is boring, Blood is just weak in pvp. imo

    Blood won't be weak after patch. They've been given their own UH/F rune Strike - Death Strike. I tested it in PTR and my non-crit DS heals me for 2-3k each. Crit DS goes up to 5k-7k depending on the number of self-buff procs I have.

    Survivability? Vampiric Blood, Rune Tap, Battlemaster's Trinket, DS, IBF, Mark for Blood, etc. You're not really inferior to the other trees anymore. Blood offers survivability when your healer is disabled. Not saying the other trees don't have their own gizmos to survive.

    Not even mentioning blood gets:

    - 10% amor penetration
    - 30 extra rp wich can be picked up in the frost tree easy in 3.1
    - drw lasts 8sec longer with glyph and even more with the imp RP.
    - 10% extra healing from blood presence


    The only thing im wondering is it gonna be blood/unholy or blood/forst for pvp.

    With unholy you get 20% more shadow dmg on whites and you can pick up ghoul.
    With frost you can do Obliterate without using any diseases.
    although i dont know how hard DS will hit in comparrison to Obliterate

    Re: 3.1 PvP build

    Yups. True to all.
    -130 RP ( 130/5 *2% = additional damage from DS if you use DS glyph) Theoretically speaking..

    Don't feel inferior just cause you don't have a pet. You can slice it in half in a relatively short a mount of time if you play Blood.

    Obliterate definitely deals a larger amount of damage than DS but DS can heal you up to 7k given the crit 2-3k in average from my testing.

    Hello Dks,
    Thank you for your posts.
    I still need someone of u experienced players to come up with a possible arena talen build for 2v2, asuming u play with holy paladin and having in mind the incoming changes in 3.1 for them (holy paladins).-exorsism, holy wrath castable on players etc. etc.
    Thank you in advance.

    Re: 3.1 PvP build

    for 2v2 with a holy paladin id go for:

    http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?deat...0&version=9626

    19/0/52, quite a lot of burst from this spec if things stay like they are, and survivability for those annoying combos CCing your healer all the time.
    Don't Fwoosh me.
