Blood rotation

[Sannu]

Hi im looking to see what other DK's are useing for there blood rotations currently pulling 5-6k ulduar raid wise and im currently the 51/2/18 DS spec. Like to hear wat rotations you guys got.

[General Vezax]

im pretty sure the main blood dps rotation is:

IT -> PS -> HS -> HS -> DS -> dump
HS-> HS -> HS -> HS -> HS -> HS -> dump

Replace a dump every so often with a DRW

[Zerioc]

Do you even have the GCDs to 6HS? I know the only way to 6IT as frost is to be in Unholy Presence ( Which I doubt Blood would benefit from considering it didn't pre-3.1, but I could be wrong )

[General Vezax]

it cuts it close, but if you use each GCD asap you will make it right when the diseases expire

Lets see...
Rune Usage:
F - U - B - B - FU
B - B - B - B - B - B

Rune Availability:
F - U - B - B - FU -> OK
F - U - B - B - D - D -> Error

You can't go 6 HS this way, because PS + IT don't convert the F + U to D runes

Venjer's one is the correct one, as it uses the F + U runes of PS + IT for DS

well dang did i screw up bad

Guess im thinking of the 20+ rotations ive tried to create (but obviously failed)

why not do a DS before HS?
*i have no idea about lvl 80 dps for DK just to let ya know*

[MooDK]

I use the following rotation:

IT - PS - HS - HS - DS - RP Dump
DS - HS - HS - HS - HS - RP Dump

With it i pull out very good DPS in Ulduar.

The reason you use 2x HS before you do a DS is because of Glyph of Death Strike. It improves the DMG done by Death Strike depending on how much Runic Power you have. So the 2x HS is to gain Runic Power so DS can hit harder.

[archform]

but with iT and PS thats a good portion already and maybe one more HS to make it full maybe?

so it ps hs ds hs?

but assuming you get the max out of the glyph by doing just IT and PS would putting DS infront make any dif?

+2% for every 2 runic power up to a max of 25%
is the glyph and you can get 25 runic power very fast
so doing a IT PS HS should give you more then enough i think
each 1 rune spell gives like 10 right?


im thinking of doing this build when my dk gets to 80

i didnt look at what ppl are using but i think this looks ok

*didnt feel like making a new post

Archform, it's better not to mix the rune usage, only puts a burden on you in later rotations.
If you complicate the rotations it's not gonna help and it just doesn't matter to use DS earlier.
it just doesn't feel right to split the blood rune pair by a DS ^^
