Sim it.

Edit: Get rid of mining and fix your gems and enchants. You should have bought the tier chest.

[classicnguyen]

Im going to buy new legs. You don't need all 5 pieces.

[Muraza]

Time to respec really. But once you hit about 60-70% ArP with gear you should gem it. With the right pieces you can get to 70% easy.

I just said I was getting the tier 10 pants, and you said my meta and gems are messed up? That sure helps a lot. Read the topic, is it time to change my str gems to arp?

Your name tells me that you're Vietnamese! :

[Emothianes]

So since no one here seems to want to answer your question...

No, you shouldn't. Your gear in that armory link is not good enough.

What they're saying is getting the tier 10 legs for blood is a mistake, you want helm/shoulders/chest glvoes for tier set and the crafted legs if you're shooting for ARP. The tier 10 legs do not have ARP and therefore are not optimal for you. If you wanna gem ARP get the tier 10 chest.

http://www.wowhead.com/item=49903 for your legs
http://www.wowhead.com/item=51129 for your chest.

That'll get you 184 ARP.

One thing I noticed, you seem to REALLY be below expertise cap(I could be wrong on this, never rolled a DK nor planned on it). I assume thats why you think legs would be better, but really you can get expertise elsewhere.

http://www.wowhead.com/item=50180 for example.

But simming it will help you more than just asking.

Ty, that was the kind of answer I was looking for. I'll look into it.

You dont need Expertise unless you go frost.

Eh, please don't post anything if you don't have a clue, or try to search for more information. And yes, he needs more expertise.

Edit: Actually just noticed that in the armory there isn't the whole gear, so maybe you just meant that he had already enough expertise by the time you saw his armory. If that's the case, I'm sorry.

[baconwing]

since when do blood dks not need expertise?

[Shiira]

Until some point in t8 it wasn't worth it to gem expertise as blood even if you were below the cap, but it's certainly worth it now if your gear is even half decent.

[KidGosu]

You should only gem for armor pen if you can get over 70%+ passive.

Expertise is worth more than armor pen until you're capped.

Hit (til capped)>Exp (til soft capped)>Armorpen>strenght>crit>haste

Right now i have 85% armor pen (its my off spec and i dont have dbw) as blood, you do need to change your spec a bit, and, if you're regemming, you may want to gem for expertise before armorpen. With that being the case, if you're spending gems on expertise, you may not be able to get over that 70% hump.

[ejzo]

gem it when you can get 90% with food and elixir, thats what i do and it awesome.

[classicnguyen]

change my spec? can you guys be more specific about that? ive been using the spec from jerks forum.

[Deleted]

spec can differ a bit depending on playstyle and rotation, specifically whether you put your second DS before or after your 4 HS streak. if you put it after, your spec works fine. if you put it before, you need one extra point in epidemic for the extra disease duration. the, it also becomes viable to replace GoDD with GoD, but only if you can get a tricks so you can roll your diseases with 6% damage boost.

however, i would suggest moving that point from vampiric blood to improved blood presence. vampiric blood costs a blood rune, which is basically a missing HS and needs to be activated in advance. IBP does not require any maintenance or resources and is basically a passive 15% healing taken increase, allowing your healers to switch to other targets 15% faster.

No.

PS.: get rid of some of the hit rating you're wasting item points/stats.
