70 Frost DK Rate?

Awesome

<The Awesome>
I don't know why everyone keeps saying that DKs are among the worst playable classes at 70, I play mine and enjoy games/duels just fine. In my blood spec/gear I can even stand up against disc priests, and I don't even have proffs down.

Overwhelming @ Vek'nilash - Community - World of Warcraft

Rate pl0x? Trinkets are weird atm, I usually roll darkmoon and insignia. And I know my proffs blow. I don't understand the whole engineering thing, and I don't understand how to get the extra bracer gem with blacksmithing.

I hear that 19s can get the gem just by having BSing, is there a way for me to get that on my DK without having to level BS? My anus is not overflowing with gold.
 
6.5/10

From the looks of it you're just stacking mainly stamina?
As a Blood DK this is okay.

Proffesions:
Your professions give you the capability to create a trinket with 81 Stamina and allows for 450 or 420 Attack power to proc when you're tacking damage. If you're in PVP just use one of them with your medallion trinket (Use two for PVE)

Regarding Engineering as well, you could get lucky within your tinkers, hopefully you'll get something such as the Tazik shocker or Synapse Springs.
Your Blacksmithing will allow you to create a gem slot on your gloves and wrists, I'd put more stamina in the gem slots you're able to create.

Gear Wise

You need to change your weapon to "Apolyon, The soul render" From Sunwell.
Bloodstone Band - Has a gem slot (PVP Power)
Your trinkets - Use either both your Engineering trinkets (Sonic Boosters) or One with your PVP Trinket.
You could either keep your neck or get "Neckless of the deep" - Provides two gem slots.
You can also get a cape from Leatherworking which is BOE! This cape provides one blue gem slot and has strength on it. (This is your BIS)

There is more you can get however I don't have enough time to sort out everything else.

Oh shit I must have logged in my blood set... it's nowhere near being complete yet, and it's for PvE because I eventually want to, when finished gearing, xfer over to a 70 PvE realm and try tanking at 70... back in BC I never had a tank @ max level, so I want to try it out xD

I'll hop into my frost set in a few mins.
 
I wouldn't recommend using DW at 70, because you lack the DW "talent", which means you'll only deal damage with your main hand weapon. 2H is superior if you choose to play frost.

I'd also suggest getting 3 red gems and using a chaotic meta, the damage tradeoff with PvP power is worth it.

Not sure why the darkmoon trinket is even there, but whatever.
 
I WANT TO WITHDRAW ANYTHING I HAVE SAID IN THE PAST ABOUT DKS BEING VIABLE.

I just ran 5 2s with a healer friend of mine on vek, got a spriest / heals each round and even a spriest / spriest once. Nope, nope, nope, NOPE.
 
Unholy/ disc
Unholy/ Rsham
--- those are viable in 2s maybe not 2k+ but I've seen some good death knights running around at 1900.
-- plus you don't have the icey touch glyph to dispel your enemy's HoTs or bubbles which is a real game changer.
- in 5.2 your dk will get a nice buff anyways :) so stick it out you'll get used to it.

Planning on going UH today, anyways, and what glyph are you talking about? :O I fucking need that, so hard.
 
Not sure if you're going to play DK or not, BUT.
For gear. Apolyon, the Soul-Render, Belt of Unleashed Rage, Felfury Legplates, Dreadboots of the Legion, Sonic Booster.
Enchants - Tuskkar's Vitality is a MUST without Death's Advance. Switch bracer enchant for Major Stamina.
Talents - FFS GET RID OF PURGATORY. Unholy Lichborne+death coil healing is amazing.
Stick with stacking pvp power. A 70 DKs main ability is Death Siphon which makes it ideal.
Glyphs - Glyph of Anti-Magic Shield this can completely deny the burst of another player. Glyph of Icy Touch is probably the most important glyph for a DK in this game. Just be careful on how you use it, if you use it too soon on a priest that has recently bubbled and they use Body and Soul, then you're SOL and just wasted a rune.
I've only used a rotation as blood. Raise dead, Unholy blight, Asphyxiate, Death Siphon. Make sure to burst with all 4 death runes.

with patch 5.2 i'd recommend speccing more like a "vampire" with the increase of death siphon from 100% of damage to 150% and that sucker hurts.I also agree with Varconn about that glypth, that could be the difference between a win and a loss, esp at higher MMR.

Best of luck!
