Best DK DPS spec?

[gricko]

I was wondering which dps spec would be best?
I hope you guys can help me.

Depends on your needs.. is it PvP, PvE. What kind of gear you have, if its DPS.. Tank.. etc etc

For PvE DPS, then 0-10-61 is the best spec. Assuming best possible gear.

This is a fact, don't tell otherwise. If you do tell otherwise, then please show some proof confirming it.

Blood has quite a bit higher gearrequirement (armpen, which you get from Ulduar), so starting out I would say that the posted unholyspec above me is the easiest to get started and to get good numbers with.

They are all equally balanced :

Im using a blood spec atm that gives me about 2.5k dps in naxx 10 with mostly blues, tanking is main spec so my gear isnt great.

I easily keep up with or even out-DPS similarly geared Blood/Unholy DKs as Frost simply because it's what I know and love.

0/10/61 is the best DPs spec on paper and in the best possible circumstances, but things rarely align the best that they can. In the end do the spec you feel most comfortable with and you'll do the most DPS you can.

You're quite wrong. 0-10-61 will be a dps loss compared to 12-0-59. 0-10-61 requires that you have very good gear, quite a few ulduar items, to make it a dps gain. Don't post if you don't know what you're talking about please.

In the end do the spec you feel most comfortable with and you'll do the most DPS you can.

So very much true. Don't listen to what anyone else say if you have a spec you are comfortable in!

12/0/59 is best when you first start ulduar, 0/10/61 is best when you have ulduar gear. Blood is in 2nd but a very close 2nd and frost is well.....lacking (except for hodir fight frost is king). But like they said play what you like the most, the differences in dps is marginal (except for frost).

Anytime

But as said. Blood, Frost and Unholy are all good DPS specs. Whats best for you depends on your personal playstyle.
