Hello all,
Well, I'm not a stupid guy. Have degrees and all that. More importantly, I've spent alot of time on my main (my DK), studying, reading EJ, working priorities, etc. I'm a decent player ... but I'm not a top player.
I've now joined an excellent guild, and need to eliminate my last weakness - my inability to monitor and maximize runes.
Before now, my dps has always been at or near tops just using priorities and knowing when to dump, maximize procs, etc. And, often, I would go to EJ or here, or somewhere else, and read up on runes. But I've never been able to "get it" to the point where I can implement the best spells at the right time in game based on death runes, or whatever runic combination somebody says is optimal for the best cast.
Can somebody please help me out? I mean, I get it intellectually, but I'm having a really tough time implementing it. Like I said, I'm no dummy, so maybe I'm making it more complicated than it should be? I honestly don't know.
I do know that I have 3 friends that are very, very good. 2 of them (both frost) watch runes (the UH dk says he doesn't need to). The two frosties are happy to talk to me about any dk mechanic ... except for runes. It may be that they know how to do it, but don't know how to explain it. So, I submit myself to public mockery and shame. Please help!
Looking forward to the 13 year old telling me "It's easy you noobtard ... look at mah chart!"

Peace
