60 or 64?

[Awesome]

Well...I was going to twink my deathknight at 59, but since it seems that people still consider them OP and the bracket is retired, I was thinking about coming to either 60 or 64. Which one is easier to gear / gets more pops? Thanks in advance.



Edit: Also, can I get some BiS DK armory link at 60 or 64.

64 is easy to gear in one day, 60 BiS take months.

How are the queues in the 64 bracket?



And on that armory link: HOLY SHIT.

 

[Nogah]

The bracket is 60-64, the ques seem to be up from rare instant pops to 5-20min que times.



60/64? Twinking always "used" to be about being the best you can be, now the trend is 60s disrespcting 64s just cos they are stronger

and don't prefer to grind ages for the best 60 gear of which most isnt even available anymore due to naxx60 being removed from the game.



I'd say go for 64, the tbc gear and gem slots are totally superior to classic. Its not OP mode cos everyone seems to target a 64 with a big group.. now that is a challenge : D nuff said.

 

[Awesome]

Thanks for that Nogah, and I will me going 64 because I don't want to grind ages for the best classic gear only to be crushed by a ton of 64s.



On a side note, is frost DK a viable spec? As it stands right now, my deathknight is always top DPS, about 500-650, always top damage done in PvP, most HKs, (Yes I know that isn't what PvP is about, but I actually contribute to the game as well, not only mid-fucking) and I'm frost 2h



So the questoin is, Frost DW / 2H or should I just go blood like all the other DKs are =/

 

[threesets]

frost at 60 is not viable, but since u get olbit at 61, yesh a 64 dk is viable (frost)

 

[Nogah]

My main is a 2h frost and is pretty much always top dps, however its generally shown in statistics that dw is a little stronger, but i like the high crits!

Idk how it works as 64 but if u got skillz you should do really well.. and if not you can always go for blood.

 

[Ettan]

Think i would roll 2h if i was you, Dark edge of insanity is just so much better than any 1h weps available.

 

[Awesome]

Thanks for all the replies guys, I pretty much have all the information I need to get this twink going

Great DK, but HoW is gained at 65, can't have might of mograine and icy talons at same time, and isn't hit capped I'll hit cap it though with some gems

 

[Ettan]

Doesnt really matter tho 90% of the time you will be fighting somone 4 levels under you. You wont need any hit rating atall to be capped, while 60 dw/ casters will need 20%+ to be hit capped against you.

For unholy (as that chardev link is currently) i think i would rather get some spell pen, its always good for pvp but particulary so for 60s as it is probably the only bracet where your very likly to face ppl eq with various spell resist gear.

Even unintentionally on their part with vanilla itemisation having 30-40 spell resist from gear is not uncommon.

Dont think you will ever meet anyone stacking spell resistance gear but even at 30-40 (from gear) + 60 (racial/glyphed totem) + "25 (flask)" + 35 kings/mark think it would add up to something like ?50-65%? reduced dmg from that spell type.



Bit curious rly how spell restsiance stacking scales now. Remember i had a 456 nr res set when i tanked aq back in vanilla. Well now just 60 from racial = 28.57% reduction would be fun to try just to see if its possible to get 100% and be immune, not that it would be of any use you would end up with some horrible stats. But it would still be awesome to enter a bg just to puzzle a few casters.

 

[Robertx jenkins]

honestly for my level 64 DK i find that unholy is good for me. it's the fact that there like a little melee warlock with there frost fever dot and there plague strike dot! and many other things that make there dotz a pain. but i keep a stam set and blood spec just in case.

 

[Ettan]

heh you dont want to be a little warlock in this bracket tho Thats most unfortunate. I dont think locks can win a 1v1 vs any good geared class in this bracet. Its probably the class that suffers the most in 60-64, real shame tho in vanilla locks where reallllly good. Atleast thats how i see it as ehn -> tremmor totem; purge; 8k cloth; gone in a split second; next target, even without wind shear and grounding totem its an unfair fight.

But y ive found unholy to be pritty decent at 60-64 aswell even if you cant get unholy presense.

Anyone have an armory of a BIS 64 ret/prot/holy paladin? I had a level 60 BIS TBC paladin and leveled him to 62 one day. Looks like the ring slots are still the same at 60 and 64 any idea about the rest of the gear? here is my paladin Cheatcodes @ Elune - Game - World of Warcraft
