Provides Garras Gélidas Aprimoradas which is a raid wide Haste Buff. Does not stack with the haste buff from Enhancement Shamans, but allows them to spend their talent points elsewhere.

Strong mobile AOE damage and threat through the use of Impacto Uivante.

Highest ST Threat through the use of Toque Gélido and Golpe Rúnico

Strong Defensive Cooldowns through the use of Fortitude Congélida and Armadura Inquebrável.

High Self Sustain out of any tank through the healing of Transfusão Rúnica, Golpe da Morte and Pacto da Morte.

Two taunts with the abilities Comando Negro and Garra da Morte which also serves as a gap closer.

Due to DK scaling, and the new Diminishing Returns of Avoidance stats, DK's will hit Parry cap quicker than any other tank, which happens to be the most present stat on most DK gear.

Frost will experience more downtime than other non-dk tanks while waiting for runes to regenerate. Though this isn't a massive downtime, unless planned for, you could be without any runes or runic power. This might put you in a precarious position.

While Frost solves the issue of Blood's AOE threat and mobile damage, Frost still suffers the same mobility issues that Blood has.

Holding threat is top prio, if it's needed, you throw in a Toque Gélido.

Apply Diseases using Toque Gélido and Golpe da Peste use Pestilência to refresh.

Obliterar if you're not taking significant damage, Golpe da Morte if you need the healing.

Keep Golpe Rúnico que'd before your OH hit, but be mindful to keep a minimum amount of 20 RP incase you need to use Fortitude Congélida.

Always use your two Blood Runes together: Pestilência into Golpe Sangrento, or the other way around.

Golpe Gélido when you have a KM Proc. (Unless you have a Rime proc, and are about to use another Obliterate after this gcd).

Impacto Uivante with a Rime proc (Unless you're about to cap on Runic Power).

What sort of spec would I want for tanking dungeons? (I'm assuming Frost is ideal for dungeons.)

Some sort of hybrid between the OT/Trash specs, perhaps? I like the idea of taking Morbidity, but I don't like the idea of not having Annihilation...

This is what I settled on: https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/talent-calc/death-knight/0055001-30505050350213010000233101351-03203_001s8511xv621xv731s8g41sxd51ts8 . Not sure how viable it really is.

Why every build skips Nerves of the Cold steel, but then pre-bis and phase 1 bis includes them? It's kinda confusing.

Comentário de RandomTask

No Lichborne/Death Coil combo? Hmmm

Comentário de Clefairy

None of your specs put any points into Epidemic, and yet you're telling people to take Glyph of Disease and use a rotation that puts 18s between Pestilence refreshes on 15s disease durations. Frost needs at least 1 point in epidemic for Glyph of Disease to change the Frost rotation by adding a 3rd Obliterate on every other set of runes. Do you play these specs or just speculate about them?
