3.1 Unholy Spec?

[Toshi94]

Ok, so I have been looking around forums trying to find an Unholy DPS spec. I have found a lot of good ones... But I have a question. After I am done with the unholy tree I see some going to into Blood and some into Frost... So I want to know what the top DPS spec is going it look like.

Completely depends on your play style and glyph setup.

Blood is really nice for the RP gen (Butchery), more AP (Bladed Armor) and increase to 2H wep dmg and Crit.

Frost is really nice for inc to Frost dmg (Black Ice) and thats about all from the top of that tree other than having a larger RP poll available.

tbh for an UH build something like http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?deat...5&version=9767 will prolly be close to top dmg. Again I made this spec in 15 seconds so please dont pull the Theiry crafting its the point of UH / Blood being better than UH / Frost im making.

I heard 0/10/61 was nice.

or something of the sort, but I haven't tried it.

See I think Blood will be better because the only frost move is IT right? And I need crit more...

Never mind I see how Black Ice adds to Shadow damage.. :P

I'm thinking

The missing 5% crit from the blood tree i'll miss but my DK already has 40% crit raid buffed so I think I'll be alright

12/0/59 will be the strongest Unholy spec starting Ulduar by all accounts, edging out 0/10/61 slightly. 0/10/61 will scale better and most likely hold a strong lead by midpoint in gearing in Ulduar.

In regards to 10/61 Unholy spec. What is the point of 61 points in Unholy? You're picking up some serious filler. Squeezing a few out into Annihilation wouldn't be a good idea?

12/59, or 13/58

Iono, that's why I'm asking. Annihilation was avoided for filler, I'm just curious why.

Even with 61 pts, I'm not able to put everything into Unholy that I'd like to. Why on Earth would you want Annihilation in a Deep Unholy build? What would you drop from Unholy that could possibly be worse per point than 1% melee crit per point? (Assuming that's the only reason you'd go Annihilation) It's not even as good as Dark Conviction, which is subpar to most of the Unholy talents you would deem as "filler".

Even sheer crit isn't as good as people seem to make it out to be. It only affects around 65% of the damage we do, and we don't really have any special abilities that are driven off of it. I don't get why people are so stuck on crit.
