making a 70 dk

Prob the melee SWP Trinket, Cant remember the name, and Madness of the betrayer?

Offset you should wait for guardian wich is returning in cata

Rings: Band of Delight from twins in SWP, and either guardian or Stormrage signet ring?

Neck if you can go for the SWP JC pattern , Khorium Choker or w/e



uhmm

hope i helped abit :D but im sure some 1 else will leavea a post with proper names and so
 
might want to pick up DST if you're goign DW frost

Not sure if it's as great as it used to be especially due to the fact that I don't know the stat values for DKs. I do remember farming Gruul once a week in order to get one though.
 
if anything DST is better than ever since haste should increase rune regeneration, just like it increase energy regen; at least thats what i thought haste was supposed to do for DKs, but they might have scrapped that

i havent played my DK since ToC was current content so i really know very little about current day DK stat evaluations. iirc though, frost wanted haste for disease ticks as well. not entirely sure
 
haste does increase the rune regen. but Strength > Hit to cap >= Expertise to cap > Mastery > Crit > Haste > Agility > Hit to spell cap for DW frost DK's ... so just focus on STR and hit stam/res
 
Are you looking to make a Death Knight for PVP or PVE? In case you're making it for PVE, would you be aiming towards Unholy or Frost DPS?



Unholy generally delivers superior damage, but Frost has the advantage of an easier rotation. Some people also dislike having an NPC being responsible for 35% of their damage, as the UI of the ghoul still sports some considerable flaws.
 
#1: 20k stam w/ a dk sucks, considering i had 25k on ma hunter and still had decent damage.

#2: stacking haste is very fun on a hunter, have 55% range speed w/o talents, and wen ma trink procs, i get 70%.
 
To Wooridgeqt: Pick up SWP Gloves and Legs and do str / resil or straight str, I find it better using those pieces with 3/5 Brutal considering those brutal pieces



a) have no 4set bonus

b) have no glove bonus

c) have no gem slots



Whereas if you picked up gloves (border paingrips) and legs (Felfury), and run with str/resil, it would be more "viable". Otherwise, welcome to DKs man. GL on the DK.



Brutallus - Korgath US
 
Stamina stacking isnt a great option. You will hit for shit, even with Vengeance as blood you will hit for shit. As frost, even worse. It isnt viable.

In terms of haste for frost, it isnt viable in pvp and to a "lesser" extent in pve (meaning it has some worth). Check out some recent DK guides before I make one myself. Straight str is the way to go, and the rationale is straightforward enough.



DST is great for unholy albeit its worth can be limited after >33-40% haste from gear + unholypres. For frost it isnt that amazing but hell, its still fucking great. I consider TT Better in some aspects, eg, AP over haste although I Still want a DST. The haste is for the rune regen and procs for those who dont know it, we dont have necrosis or BCB anymore, although they were somewhat weak talents. Pick up a DST anyways, but ID suggest for pvp running with a Trink and Berserkers Call if not human OR Naaru / Tsunami / Battlemaster and Berserkers Call if human.



Str in red,

str / resil in yellow,

spell pen > str/stm OR straight strength in Brutal gear. Haste isnt the best option for pvp as frost.



Im shortening my responses alot, but in short, Dont stack stm in general, haste isnt a frost priority in pvp, and pick up a DST anyways
