Another Jayde Video, More Blue Posts
Jayde dropped another video, this time showing a blood talent build at level 77 in action. After the video you’ll see a blue response to his Frost vs. Blood debate. You can download the file at FileFront or watch below:

| You Won’t See a T2 DK Helm! There is no plan to retroactively itemize Death Knights. The Death Knight specific armor won’t start popping up until you reach the icy peaks of Northrend.Adding the ability for them to use items that currently exist isn’t quite the same as retroactively itemizing Death Knight sets. There is no plan, for example, to create a Death Knight set from level 60-70 dungeons such as Valor or Bold, and no plan to create Death Knight class specific raid sets.In other words, don’t hold your breathe for your two man Onyxia kill to put out a Death Knight tier 2 helm. (src) Why no Sigil love? Jayde’s Blood vs. Frost Debate. Hungering Cold — after experimenting with the scaling costs for a long time, we think they are just awkward and confusing. DRW will probably stay as “uses all your RP” but Hungering Cold and Unholy Blight will probably be a discrete cost of something like 60 RP. Blood of the North — the idea of this talent is that you could Blood Strike twice, and then be able to Obliterate or Howling Blast twice the next time around (the aptly named FUFUFU rotation). Walk me through why Plague Strikes turning into Death Runes is helpful — it’s pretty hard to ever skip over spending an Unholy Rune, yes? Similarly, we would love to work a Death Rune ability into Unholy but can’t figure out how to make it work. Unholy doesn’t really need more Unholy runes unless the DK wants to spam Plague / Scourge to grind down the cooldowns through Night of the Dead. A clone of Blood of the North might be helpful for the FUFUFU, but then Unholy might play a lot like Frost too. Dancing Rune Weapon — we’ve actually known it’s overpowered for some time. We left it that way on purpose because there were still so many threads (misguided we suspect) about how weak it was. Psychology is unfortunately a reality of game testing, and we wanted to make sure people would actually use it. I’m not saying it needs to be nerfed to the ground, but it is probably doing too much damage. Blood in general — we’re not inclined to do anything to Blood’s damage until we have some good numbers about how DKs compare to other classes. One change that is potentially coming down the pike is letting Blood Boil be a more spammable ability, and perhaps letting that replace Pestilence as a good tanking tool. It would give Blood some different spells to work in as well. (src) Further down the thread… We’ll try and improve RP generation of Frost. I think Howling Blast could go down to a 10 sec cooldown. That would let you use it once a rotation with Obliterate using the other FU if you turned your two Blood Runes into Death runes. If it has no cooldown, then it might compete a lot with Obliterate. In the next build, try spamming Blood Boil instead of Pestilence. Use Pestilence to spread diseases to set up Blood Boil. As everyone has pointed out, Death Rune Mastery was designed to mix up the rotation of Blood and it seems to do that well. Blood of the North was designed to let you mix up Frost, but low Icy Touch damage and a long Howling Blast cooldown seem to be inhibiting that. Obliterate may be too weak now too. The thing that changes up Unholy’s rotation more than anything is Epidemic. You should be able to skip the Icy Touch and Plague Strike the second time around and just wail away with Obliterates, Blood Strikes or the new Blood Boil. Scourge Strike itself does decent damage, but if you use it twice, then you end up with an extra Frost that you can only use for Icy Touch. But if we turned that Frost into a Death Rune for yet another Scourge Strike, then you’d lose Frost Fever (unless Scourge Strike itself applied Frost Fever too, but then you’d totally waste Icy Touch). It’s tricky. |

It would be really cool, if Jayde slit his own wrists.
And here we go aain, when would people just shut the hell up and stop acing this childish.
Jayde’s using his time he could do testing by showing you stuff about PvE and PvP here to you all, and most of you people keep acting like goddamn unsatisfied bastards, insulting him and tagging him as some noob trying to show off.
If you cannot learn at least some manners in WoW or in communities & forums at all, then I suggest quitting with paying any attention to anthing tied to WoW at all.
Now back on topic, I would like to thank Jayde for continuing to give us this great footage from Beta, and I hope he will be able to continue this.
This can’t be against people her level. A video against 4 people her lvl would be nice.
What I would like to know is what in the hell that shadowy aura (and the frosty one too) was that he had going during the vid. And to the first poster, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! …fail.
I really enjoy watching these videos, they are giving me great insight into how a DK will be played. One thing I would like to see is a damage meter. I can tell that Jayde is putting out some good damage but I would like to compare it to my mage I have. I am not going to play it anymore when Wrath comes out and just play a DK but I would like to know if it will be putting out more DPS then my mage. Yes, I realize that Jayde is lvl 77 now but I still would like to compare damage.
sweet. i hope i get a beta key soon
Hey thanks alot for the video can you link your spec you used for this please?
thanks again, keep it up =P
I always love watching your videos Jayde. Think you could tell your totation and spec? thatd be great
His spec is already linked in the post
how about jayde do the beta job and report the bug with that npc at the end and not prance around showing crappy videos.
Rancid… please be quiet unless you have something smart or fitting too say. I hate repeating myself but for you I’ll make an exception. Jayde is showing us the gameplay of a Death Knight here, he’s NOT wasting time showing off and going “omgftw newbz, I r00l ya. Check mah 1337 skillz!” So please, don’t judge people that you do not know…
Thank you.
Id like to know the names of the songs used in the video. They’re awesome.
[...] I need to change things around slightly. Check out this video of a level 77 Blood Spec DK: Another Jayde Video, More Blue Posts | DeathKnight.info And if you get chance…play the instanced starting quests in Wrath of the Lich King. Warlocks [...]
Uhm Kenzi, next time it might be better not to mention Jayde’s name…
Too much childish idiots feel like they have to spend their time here, insulting him with the strangest and most stupid things and for no reason at all. =/
