Death Knight DPS Specs

[Çryo85]

Blizzard has stated that in Cataclysm Frost will have 2H and DW capabilities. What are you planning on rolling as?

Unholy 2h for sure. Frost just isnt my playstyle.

i always go the specc i have best weapon for, i prefer frost but atm I'm unholy since my 2h is so much better.

but as i said, frost always if possible.

Unholy 2h for sure. Frost just isnt my playstyle.

All of the specs' playstyles are getting overhauled, which is a dumb-shit move by Blizzard. They are giving us "free time" instead of sticking to a rotation or priority. I like pressing buttons constantly. I don't want to stand still and wait for a proc or some shit before I click anything.

I was frost tank and frost DW DPS the day I hit 80 on my DK (before the buffs). I have gone to blood tanking since (not as fun as blood) and nejoyed the frost DPS buffs. I will be sticking with frost for DPS and look forward to Cataclysm buffs and changes.

Amen. Giving all that free time is just a way of them making it easier for bad players to compete. A good player can maximize their rotation no matter what the situation.

I am either gonna go frost 2h or frost duel-wield. I hope frost DK's get a titan's grip equivelent. But it just depends on my weapon.

I don't like any of the specs at the moment, and I have a DK, but I voted for Unholy 2h because its probably the best from the 4 combinations.

Please, like a DK rotation is that hard. Unholy rotation is a static rotation that you can do blindfolded, and the frost rotation's only complication before 3.3 which was lining up rime with KM doesn't happen anymore since a frost DK just lets KM get eaten up. Except for keeping diseases up the frost rotation is almost as easy as a ret pally's, and it's not like clipping diseases or letting them fall off is a huge dps loss either.

Probably gonna keep the specs I have now: DW Frost and 2H Unholy, depending on the boss/encounter. One spec for 1 target smashing and an AOE spec. And no Titan's Grip equivalent please...

Should put this topic in the dk forums.
