If you think DW can't be a tank, please click back botton on the left corner of the screen!
My build:
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=jZGxctzfbohoZ0ghGzckxcq0coI think it is a new build. The way I think of it is new.
Before you say this is not a tank build, let me explain the following:
1. At the FIRST look you would notice I completely take out Blade Barriar.
Reason: Not enough points to spend and it is useless to my rotation.
and correct me if i am wrong, when blood become death rune does Blade Barriar apply to a death rune too? To me it seems not.
2. The second thing you will notice is no UB
Reason: UB is only a Threat generator for a tank, But I got HB which is a much better generator.
3. No 50 tree talents, this means I didn't get experise +5 talent
Reason: 50 is too much to go into a tree as a hybrid build and compare to what I could get. I think it worth it.
4. Annihilation?
Reason: I don't use OB, even in single target pulls. OB cost 2 runes and HB cost 2 runes, but I found HB has a higher chance of critical with FF and BP on target.
5. Summon Gargoyle and Corpse Exposion? I thought this is a tank build why those in here?
Reason: SG could spend else where, I just don't know what to get, since I need that point to get further into the tree, and CE it is a nice AoE skill.
6. Pet! This is somewhat old... but still...
Reason: Pet, CE on a Pet would give you a boost on damage but I don't know if it will generate Threat.
7. The best Part? HB+Bone Shield.
I think those 2 skills are most useful skills among ALL DK SKILLS.
This build is on AoE Damaging and Tanking.
I went to increase the diseases as much as possible.
I think I got all 3 disease except ebon plague which I dont think it is much useful.
the rotation goes as: IT>PS>Pest>HB>BS>BB>Pest>HB>Runic Dump
IT gets Frost Fever, PS gets Blood Plague and Crypt Fever hopefully, Pest to spread out, HB to get alot of threat, BS to use Blood Rune-->Death rune, BB to spread out disease on you to other mobs, skip if no disease<--1 Blood=1Death rune, so total 2 death rune, but in most case 1, since trash mob doesnt not disease you a lot. Pest if you BBed, then go HB again, By this time or earlier your bone shield should gone use Bone Shield which I think it would take 1 Death rune instead of Unholy.
if you successfully gets 2 HB into mobs. Runic Dump with SG or DC.
OK, any feedback is welcome! and thank you stay to the end.
