80 DK twinking - Some thoughts, plans and showoff

[Tetarius]

I think i just created a monster Profiler - Wowhead . Dont forget to add 26% haste from reforge

>.<


I hope to god those items get fixed. They'll be fun if they don't but we'll be far better off without them.

Still got a couple more to render and upload!

 

[Cat-dog]

Gonna sound cliché as fuck but you've inspired me to make a 80 dk

 

[glancealot]

a solo list of bosses with links to specific youtube videos would be nice!!!

google doc?

 

[Aelobin]

@Cat-dog: Good decision, DKs ftw!

@glancealot: I might write up a new thread sometime this week

 

[glancealot]

I might write up a new thread sometime this week

sweet. seriously though, considering all of the effort you put into twinking, soloing, recording and uploading, maintaining a list would be a piece of cake!

i would like each list entry to include a short description that includes: difficulties, strategies, whether it's world #1, and etc, a SS coupled with a link to the specific youtube video.

I see all these solo videos of dks at 80.. Would a 80 Prot pally be as effective as soloing with 5.0

viable, but never as good as you are limited to 1-hander dps.

although this is just an educated guess, i do not know for sure.

How much has the new Undead racial (Touch of the Grave) effected your soloing? seems pretty op

80 Paladin solo: Archavon the Stone Watcher - YouTube
80 Paladin Solo: Sapphiron - YouTube
80 Paladin Solo: Noth the Plaguebringer - YouTube

I've done attempts with this patch, but if I'm honest you kinda want to just be retribution with lots of strength, prot just doesn't have the damage anymore (has the survival though)

Quick question for you guys. Have you used Control Undead now? There's mobs in ICC that give pretty good buffs!!!!

Here's a post on ownedcore.com that made me think of yall!

[Class] DK - Easy Solo Lord Marrowgar 25 HC.

nice one.

that's pretty cool, i hope blizzard doesn't nerf it.

 

[Aelobin]

I tried Sindragosa (normal) the other day using a Plague Scientist for the 100% damage buff, but only managed to get her to 12% before the P3 debuff was too much to handle.

 

[Cat-dog]

So assuming MoP weps go live and the 'exploit' doesnt get nerfed we should see it go down. Nice

 

[Splosion]

I'm not convinced the MoP gear is a good thing for the bracket. Sindragosa should probably die just from having access to the MoP-level professions.

 

[Cat-dog]

They'll open up some more solo-gear farming options which isnt a bad thing but using them in anything other than that wont feel right

 

[Splosion]

So soloing with (blatently) bugged gear is ok, and nothing else using the same gear is?

 

[Cat-dog]

Mop Gear -> Solo ulduar 10 -> Herald Gear -> Bank mop gear
