Lose hungering cold for gargoyle, and switch endless winter/chillblains with tundra stalker. Corpse explosion isn't that useful either.

Should probably try to get killing machine and frigid deathplate as well.

I lvling as a tank spec sux, 2 you never die if you use the rotation. You dont have to be unholy/blood to be able to heal up with soloing 1 or 2 mobs. Its all blood stikes really. I personally dont like killing machine because a white hit comes every 3.5-4.0 seconds, then your chance to crit lowers your rates in which killing machine will proc. The frequency of your whites is effected by haste, something DK shouldnt have because the majority of their dmg is from abilities.

If you do wanna level frost id suggest this build with a 2h.

There are things you could change but this spec would kick ass with your friend in Blood Presence, you in Frost. You'd tank and also do most of the damage + benefit your partner with imp icy talons.

EDIT: I totally forgot to make the spec you asked for incase you do wanna level in a tanking spec: http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?deat...00000000000000

PS: That tanking spec isent a real endgame spec, more of a lvling/tanking spec.

So much wrong with this spec i don't know where to begin. If you want to level as frost which i don't recommend, change it to this and just take my word for it

this will give you good aoe for multi mob pulls with the it->ps->pest->bb->bb->hb rotation

You have the mount speed increase for moving around. And the raise yourself as a ghoul for gimmick fun.

You linked the same spec gamehenge.

Thats a terriable leveling spec./tanking spec.

http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?deat...00000000000000

this is crap.. don't bother with this for leveling..

http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?deat...00000000000000
best for aoe grinding.

Picture this. mount up gather 6 guys D&D-> Icy touch-> plague strike-> Pestilence-> blood strike ->Howling blast

Howling blast is last because runes will be back up around that time from D&D. (need the Death and Decay glyph for extra control)

You have 3 health sources now..

Rune tap
Licheborn
Vendeta - > every time 1 of them dies you get 6% of your life back.

They all die you at full health and u repeat on the next 6 mobs.

i would slowly work twards this for leveling...

BTW this is not a raid tanking spec so don't take it as that. this is survival build with being able to heal your self for alot.

Yeah, the OP's spec just isn't workable. Frost is less than ideal for solo leveling, but maybe they're not playing solo? Or care more about playing frost than minmaxing for leveling?
When you're putting together a spec to level with, remember that you will not have 80 points from the word "go". Look for builds that are functional with 51 points, are tank capable with 61, and that you'll spec out of at level 80 anyway to reoptimize.
Note: I am NOT a fan of leveling with a pure "leveling spec" if you intend to be tanking in the endgame. You want something that at least feels similar to a tanking spec so that your rotations and playstyle aren't developed around talents that you will not have when tanking.
Example for lvl 60:
http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?deat...00000000000000
next five points go into Blade Barrier.
http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?deat...00000000000000
At 65 you have a very capable spec for tanking. Your next 5 points are threat buys:

which sets you up to wind up at 80 with something like this:

lol you gotta be kidding me..
http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?deat...00000000000000

Your whole idea is stupid. rotations will change yes. but why struggle with things from 55-80? with my spec you have absolutly no down time unless you are stupid and pull 7+ mobs.

You can tank with any spec you can tank with no spec. its been proven on beta latest build. Rotations are good to learn but guess what, best to learn the mechanics of the class before you start thinking of a rotation you have seen on some forum. Learn every aspect of the class and make your own judgements.


and your lvl 80 spec lol
http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?deat...00000000000000

weak let me break it down;

Blood: Subversion this is waste of points. you only use this what once every 6 seconds on a good rotation. better to put into Bladed armor for boosting all of your other spells.

22k armor for a DK in Frost pressence.
22,000/180 = 122
155*5=611 attack power

As a level 80 DK in the season gear given to you on Beta Murmur epics/blues i had about 2400 ap without bladed armor. So 611 ap is a 1/4 of your ap (big increase) considering all your skills work off your AP and Weapon damage.

Blood: 2handed specialization; looks good 4% is nice but Bladed armor is better.

Frost: Blood of the NOrth; Nice but on a 60% proc rate was up all the time 2 extra points is a waste find a better place for it.

Frost: Acclimation; Good but 20% is a nice saves you 1 points and keeps the procs in there.

Frost: hungering Cold; saddest talent i have seen. at least for raiding. great for pvping and arenas. (Used this point to get Rune tap for extra heal since you can only pot once a fight now.)




http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?deat...00000000000000

better

Frost: Icy Reach; Nice to get that little bit extra when trying to catch a guy when soemone pulls agro, when Grip is down.

Blood: Rune Tap; Nice for a heal since we can only Use a pot once a battle. well worth it.

Unholy: Virulence; Until your hit capped nice to have right away as you get more hit move to somewhere else.

**note: once your hit capped move 2 points from Virulence to Two-handed specialization for extra threat and damage.

[Gestalt]

Subversion: You only use Blood Strike and Obliterate once every six seconds in a good rotation? What are you talking about? Blood Strike is a staple damage source for Frost, Obliterate is practically the centerpoint of the tree. With Annihilation, Subversion, and Rime Obliterate has a base 32% crit chance. That's non-negligable threat. +15% crit on Blood strike is nothing to sneeze at either. Read the Guile of Gorefiend tooltip.

2H spec is certainly debatable.

Bladed Armor is a worthwhile talent investment. Its synergy is limited while leveling. Until 77-80, when it is even possible to be wearing "pure tank" gear, crit (from talents) provides the burst necessary to make Frost grinding tolerable.

BotN isn't just about Death Runes. It's also a linear buff to Blood Strike. See above.

Hungering Cold is often dismissed by players who have limited or no beta raid tanking experience. You can do just fine without it. Skipping it certainly won't break a build. It is, however, far more useful in a raid setting than is generally credited. It applies to literally everything except bosses (including boss adds and normally CC immune mobs). You can freeze the disks on malygos (grab one, ride it to a cluster), the spawns on Saltherion (they spawn within range), and in Naxx it has more uses than I have time and inclination to type out. It can be skipped, but its not a wasted point.

Chill of the Grave is replaced by the Icy Touch glyph. With the glyph you will have almost exactly as much RP from one rotation as you can spend.

Please refrain from being a "Murmer Expert".

[Voodoox2]

dude obliterate is single target sure for boss is in the rotation.. but Howling blast is best when tanking multiple mobs lol


Lol murmur expert? i never said that son. i simple stated stats from murmur.

so plz refrain from being an elitest :P
