I see what you would do for the 18/11 parts with mainly worrying about getting improved blood tap in blood and Lichborne of frost, but would be insterested in what you would spec for PvP for the unholy 42 with the current changes… an obvious one is Scourge Strike, but what about the rest?

At first i was also offended at taking out most of the healing for a blood DK. but after fiddling around with the talent calculator for a while, i was able to come up with an entirely new set up that just seems so much more intertwined and active than just the blood/frost or blood/unholy. 18/11/42 ftw… and btw i speak mostly with pvp in mind.

yeah nice pet slot change, but blood DKs sure did lose alot this change, it looks like half their healing talents got taken away…I mean I see adding the 3 minute CD to the mark of blood, that would be over powered if it just had 30 second CD. but I dislike that the scent of blood talent got switched from healing yourself every once in a while to just generating more runic power.

Before I was twind between going blood or unholy spec for leveling, but if they are going to take the shadow priestness out of blood by removing all its usefull healing before going live well then I will probably go unholy since the thing that was nice about blood was that it waws like the shadow priest build… but if they are going to remove all of the healing down to just the 4% of damage before it goes live it doesn’t look as appitising since they will probably even debuff that pressence down to something like 4% of melee damage.

Ow well I guess that will solve the stugle of trying to deside weither to go blood or unholy if they do deside to debuff all of bloods healing down to 4% melee and nothing else.

It’s awesome they are giving hunters two more stable slots, Now A BM hunter can keep their other pets and get the “exotic” ones without having to sacrifice one of their others.

And also, the end-tier unholy talents were not placed in the correct spot for several. But have now been fixed.

Actually, the talent build changes haven’t gone in yet. Those are apparently for the next build.
