CatalystAcherus Death Knight communityBlood Death Knight Changes in Patch 9.29.2 Specialization Changes & Tuning

2-piece (Valsa Rúnica Infinita) changes:

The stacks for the extension and strength buff now cap out at 75 stacks and do not extend or refresh if you cast Arma Rúnica Dançante while Arma Rúnica Dançante is active
Stack gains were changed:

A Golpe no Coração casted by the player during Arma Rúnica Dançante without the 4-piece bonus grants two stacks and 1s of extension
A Golpe no Coração casted by the player during Arma Rúnica Dançante with the 4-piece bonus grants three stacks and 1.5s of extension
A Golpe no Coração casted by the 4-piece counterattack effect grants one stack and 0.5s of extension

Membro da Abominação now deals 28.4% of AP per tick instead of the former 23.67%, or a 20% relative increase in damage.
Punho Brutal has had its steps changed from 15% base to 30% base, and from 30% cap to 60% cap. It no longer gets beaten by other potencies and is now a conduit that you can slot in all the time!

Best Talents for Blood Death Knights in Patch 9.2positively

Desilusão - as the 4-piece bonus from our set is capable of firing off a Golpe no Coração every 3 seconds, and this Golpe no Coração grants you all the bonus RP from this talent on the main strike, and an additional 5 RP for each Arma Rúnica Dançante present (since Arma Rúnica Dançante casts Golpe Sangrento and not Golpe no Coração), you can expect Desilusão to creep up very slightly in single target. It will still be behind Sorvessangue (assuming you play this talent optimally - don't clip the last tick!), but the gap should be smaller than it was in 9.1

Tempestade Óssea - The extra Arma Rúnica Dançante uptime and massively increased RP economy, coupled with the fact that every GCD that you can spend on Golpe no Coração inside Arma Rúnica Dançante is 2 to 3 GCDs gained during it, means that you'll want to spend all that RP as quickly as possible. It also massively benefits from the 75% multiplicative strength, and makes Tempestade Óssea a significant DPS and throughput gain, even in single target.

Higher item level off-pieces are present in both the Legs and Gloves slots, and higher item level tier pieces in the Shoulder and Chest slots. In addition to this, the Creation Catalyst mechanic persists the item level of the piece you put in (along with tertiaries and sockets. It does not, however, persist secondaries, it simply replaces the piece with an equivalent item level "tier" piece). You therefore have two paths forward:

No access to Jailer/Rygelon offpieces at mythic item level, or just one of them? Get the four slots you can get
Access to Jailer/Rygelon offpieces at mythic item level, two Creation Catalyst charges, and mythic shoulders and chest tier pieces? Pop both offpieces into the Creation Forge, get 285 tier pieces out of them, and rock out with your four 285 tier pieces!

Legendaries can clash with this. The Unity vendor belt in particular is not worth buying - buy the Memory instead, and craft it on another slot.

Until you are chasing absolute Best in Slot upgrades, what is currently in your bags matters more than the ideal choice. A short-term upgrade is often more impactful than a long-term "collect all the pieces" job.

Defensively, the gains are obvious: 40% additional parry all the time every time, 10 bonus Runic Power per Golpe no Coração (and this spell is your absolute priority during Arma Rúnica Dançante), along with a 75% strength multiplier that translates into a very hefty amount of bonus armor from Escudo Ósseo.

Offensively, two 33% additional copies of every spell, a 75% AP multiplier, and a ton more RP to spend

The effect has an internal cooldown of 3 seconds (i.e. you can only get one bonus Golpe no Coração every 3 seconds)

It also causes the Golpe no Coração to trigger each and every effect tied to normal Golpe no Coração usage (including the 2p)

Arma Rúnica Dançante

When you Golpe no Coração, it also casts Golpe Sangrento, granting you a bonus 5RP. Thus, 10 bonus RP total!

When you Rasga-medula, it also grants you another 3 Escudo Ósseo charges, for a total of 9 Escudo Ósseo charges per marrowrend

Almas entrelaçadasPatch 9.2 Legendary Changes & Tuning

Covenant Legendary Tuning

Sentença Final (Kyrian) has received a major overhaul, granting the rune and damage increase buff when shackle is applied, instead of when it spreads. This gives it value even on single target, although for that purpose, it is a paltry 1 rune and 4% damage done. The damage dealt buff was also increased to 4% per stack, up from 3%. The duration of the buff was, in turn, reduced to 15s (down from 18s) to compensate for this enormous buff.
Transferência Descontrolada (Night Fae) now grants 3% more strength per stack, up from 2%. This means that you can now reach 20% extra strength with what is essentially 100% uptime on fights without too much unpredictability.
Frenesi da Abominação (Necrolord) now grants 20% bonus damage, up from 10%. All the quirky parts of this legendary have not been adjusted.
Fome Insaciável (Venthyr) has received no changes and still will work like it used to - as a slight bonus and nothing more. Our set bonus now interacts in a negative fashion with it as well, as our entire set focuses on casting Golpe no Coração, not on spending Runic Power.

The best Covenant for Blood Death Knights in Raid is Kyrian for general purpose, Necrolord if you specifically need grips or Moldacarne, Night Fae if you are good at it and have found a fight with constant uptime and little unpredictable movement and where constant damage reduction matters (there is one!). Unfortunately, Venthyr lags behind, but not by enough to be unplayable.

Best Mythic+ Covenants for Blood Death Knights in Patch 9.2Sentença Final

Necrolord: Both Theater of Pain and Plaguefall dungeon bonuses are very impactful, with Plaguefall's blob soaking being easily the best bonus in the entire game (the puddle the ooze drops, lust, and the buff you get from casting Moldacarne and absorbing the effect all stack multiplicatively on you and the rest of your team)

Venthyr: Whilst you should endeavor to bring another venthyr for anima cages in Sanguine Depths (opening as a tank is a frightful and horrible experience in Kaal's gauntlet), you can technically do it. Stoneborns in Halls of Atonement are absolutely worth doing if you cannot find yourself a player willing to play Venthyr, though.

The best Covenant for Blood Death Knight in Mythic+ is Whatever Dungeon Buff your group needs in Patch 9.2. Got your dungeon buffs? Play Kyrian (preferred) or Night Fae (if you can leverage its value).

Comentado por Melcahia

Thank you Mandl for the tips, cons and pros, im going to stick with venthyr.

Comentado por Justizia

Thank you as always, Mandl, for your excellent analysis. I took your advice a while back and got my renown up on all covenants to 80 to experiment with them before 9.2 so I can swap around as needed/desired. I have a feeling I will be swapping covenant frequently in this patch.

Kind of new to Blood DK, but just curious aabout why the Vamp Blood Leggo is tied to the amount of demonology warlocks in your raid?
