I don't exactly like this spec. None of the major healing talents, and no Lichborne will leave you eating fears.

As of now though the Sigil that increases Death Strike/Oblit/SS damage by x amount is probably your best bet until Sigil of Virulence gets changed in the next minor patch to allow Deathstrike to give the 200 Strength buff.

No endless winter, no lichbourne, theres lots of flaws in this spec and not even small ones.
Go unholy stick to what is viable. Thats basically the be all and end all of it.

[Nangz]

the only blood spec i've found viable is one with lots of healing and lichborne plus COI giving frost fever otherwise no and i'm talking about a bg spec.......

Drop 1 point from Imp Blood Presence, drop Chill of the Grave, get Virulence. You'll thank me later.

This is the spec I'm running:

You don't need endless winter because Heartstrike will be your main slow, you don't spend RP on much so you should always have 20 ready and part of the strength of Blood is that you can run diseaseless without much loss in damage.

[mikka]

heartstrike slow is shit. i prefer using sigil of the vengeful heart, caus it adss some crazy modifiers to death strike.
also mark of blood is bullshit, use that point for vampiric blood, 50% heart strike glyph slow is also meh if ure used to have 95% through coi.
also i suggest to put at least 1 pt into epidemic, if theres a team which havnt got disease dispellers.
didnt want to smash all ur blood-hope, but im playing at 2.5 mmr and blood isnt viable, wether in 2s nor 3s.
but i would suggest that you give 51-0-20 a try, with a partner that dispells all the fear effect and so on. http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?deat...1,dIq-eO,10392

CoI is only a better slow than Heart Strike for 5 seconds, after that they move faster than 50%. Your Heart Strike slow should be basically always up on a target your attacking, using chains of ice means one less Death Strike, which is a big chunk of damage lost. Unless you plan on doing very little damage Heart Strike slow > CoI.

Mark of Blood can be really useful vs double DPS. When my priest get jumps by 2 rogues MoB can be the difference between us winning or not. Not bad for a single point.

If your running with a dispeller then loosing Lichborne might be possible, but remember it doesn't just stop fears it also stops sheep, sap, etc...

There's a very good thread on blood over on Arena Junkies: http://www.arenajunkies.com/showthread.php?t=111817

[mikka]

good points, but i rely on the ability to HIT things as blood. with bcb + necrosis, its just that more bang for the buck, well timed dispell/trinket an one double dps is down, with or without diseases up, but that really depends on your teams communication.
to clarify my point, IF i specc blood for 2/3/5's i just want to get the freaking best out of it, and thats imho the pve specc

[Deleted]

Listen to Mikka, Blood is shit. Not THE shit, but just shit. Might be okayish in 3's or 5's in cleave setup with freedom on you and dispels, but other than that, it's a pve spec.

[Gerian]

You don't take Endless Winter for the Frost Fever on CoI you take it so your interrupt costs 0 RP, FF is just an added bonus.

People saying "Chains of Ice is better than Heart Strike slow" clearly would rather waste a frost rune and do no damage instead of using a blood/death rune to use your primary damage ability that also snares at the same time. :

The only time you would ever use CoI as blood is if your target isn't already snared or is at range.
