80 DK twinking - Some thoughts, plans and showoff

I guess but some people like to have BiS.

Either way i'm sure all of us will get mop weps (not saying we'll use them) given the chance.
 
Dang, man! I was hopin to finally get a start on ICC rep to start the Smourne quest ><

What a bummer

Edit: I was just informed that some of the mobs get devour and some don't. US servers are down right now, so I can't confirm.

<3 using control undead on valkyr spawned mobs. I had a pet warrior for my last ICC run.

But, the shield using mobs before marrowgar are pretty nice. You can get a very large number of stacks of a magic damage taken (I had 6 on marrowgar 25, which was something like 150% more magic damage taken)
 
HEY! I got some clarification!

they dont have devour. its the effect from the leap. if the leap hits and is not dogded/parryd the debuff will be applied. the debuff ticks for the insane % life dmg

For those who aren't subscribed to my youtube channel, here's some more videos I've uploaded recently:

Koralon 10man (had him on 13% before the patch)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HA30tJQPu_I

Faerlina 25man (with trash still up)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6FHwUwR7Rc

Sarth 25man +1 drake
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vc5VQRE5-Eg

Marrowgar 25man (done in nearly avoidance capped gear, peaked at 180k dps after the enrage)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBGfDkGTXbU

Deathwhisper 10man
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrTE4OQnO5M

Also soloed Heigan 25man (again), Gamon, 4th boss of CoC (which makes a full 5/5) and Maexxna 25man, but all those videos are boring so no point in linking them :p Got a few others down too which I still need to render/upload.

I also teamed up with some guildies to 4man 3 ToC25 bosses (Northrend Beasts, Jaraxxus heroic and Twin Valks heroic). Credit goes to them (Xipe, Zmirnoff and Clerasiz) for the insane healing/dps requirements they had to meet.

K, so I have a question for you guys who have been doing this a while. I recently got a DK to 80, geared it up in almost all the Cata instance blues I could, and I'm wondering something. Is my Blood Boil supposed to be hitting 1.5k min more than Heart Strike? How I understood it was Heart Strike was supposed to be the harder hitter of the two, but in the bit of soloing I've done it's been a DPS boost to just use BB instead of HS. Am I goofing somewhere, is scaling just off, or what?
 
I hadn't actually noticed that lol >_< But erm, they've just nerfed it at level 85 I think for that very reason, although most the reduction on BB was done to the crimson scourge bonus (which we don't get since it's level 84).

Edit: Just did some very basic unbuffed target dummy tests and got the following results in my normal soloing gear:

No diseases:
- BB 3.5k-3.9k (~3.7k)
- HS 2.5k-3.0k (~2.8k)

1 disease:
- BB 5.2k-5.5k (~5.4k)
- HS 3.0k-3.8k (~3.4k)

2 diseases:
- BB 5.1k-5.7k (~5.4k)
- HS 3.5k-4.2k (~3.8k)

Out of curiosity, have you tried anything in Sunwell Plateau?

Oh yeah, and the Fleshreapers were fixed. They do not one shot bosses anymore :(

I tried a few bosses (Muru / KJ) before the patch but didn't get anything down. Both those should be (easily) doable now though ;)

Fleshreapers were working (I forgot to post as I was having too much fun with them >_<) but I've also heard that they're fixed now.

Edit: Brutallus should be soloable too as AMS is apparently removing all stacks of the debuff on use.

Mad props, did dks get buffed a lot, when it comes to soloing stuff?

Aye.
- Our overall DPS increased in most cases due to the vengeance change (no longer capped by health)
- Single target (and burst) dps increased due to the buff to DRW (damage increased from 50% to 100%)
- AoE dps got buffed via Blood Boil, Rolling Blood, and diseases spread with pestilence deal 100% damage instead of 50%.
- Blood presence now gives 25% stamina
- Death Siphon can do some pretty sick heals with high AP
- Parry gained from strength has ridiculous scaling atm
- We now have a base 1sec GCD which improves both our dps and survival (especially reaction to damage spikes)
- There's also a few minor things like Chillblains in any spec, Glyph of DnD slow, Glyph of Icy Touch dispel, Bone Shield no longer has a cost and isn't on the GCD, AotD damage buffed, Raise dead down to a 2min cd.
