Death knight talent speccs.

[zoxan]

Hello people!
I whant to give some rough discription about the speccs so that we dont need to answer evry week what all the speccs are

Ok well their talents basically consists out of three speccs: Blood, Frost, unholy.

Blood: It is high dps against one mob, it is good for leveling, grinding but also dps'ing in groups and it gives you quite alot of life drain abilities.

Frost: Is more the tankish specc, I do not reccomend it for leveling because it does not have alot of life drain spells what blood and unholy do have.
But frost is the specc basically to tank with.

Unholy ( my favo) : This tree is very much concentrated on summoning ghouls and gargoyles, diseases, AoE and some drain life abilities.
And is quite outstanding in grinding and just good in leveling too.

I myself also recommend unholy level with because actually you fight alot as melee'r if you are worried that you will do more spells then really bashing  head on. The unholy specc is a nice surviving specc what can kill a few guys head on without really loosing alot of health.
Blood I have not really tried out but I would say its more head on but I think it would take longer to level with because you cant pull as many then
unholy.

Hope this helps a bit if you want I can post my unholy specc I must say I looked a bit to James DK guide to for the unholy specc.
P.S. If any dks want to say something too or just wants to give their opinion please go ahead
Spud!

from playing with jack and rolf - who are both leveling dk's when i get round to doing one i intend to go unholy, the gouls and exploding corpses look like too much fun to miss out on

Syl you get my respect Unholy is alot of fun and you get is also 20%+ speed and all the tuns effects etc is 30% less damaging.
And also when you die you turn into a ghoul for 45 secs or till your death its great when you pulled to much mobs and you half like 5 mobs already dead and you die that you then turn in to a ghoul and finish the job

Have to disagree on the fact that frost is a bad leveling specc. I have not tried the others, but i must say that frost is just an outstanding specc. I can pull around 5 mobs and nuke them dead in a matter of seconds. Frost has quite some AoE spells and because it is intended to be the tanking specc your survivability is really quite nice. The 51 pointer may not look like its so good to a lot of people, but honestly, it is. An example would be that youve pulled too many mobs, including casters, and you cant seem to gather the casters. What do you do then? You freeze the meele mobs, go Mind freeze one caster (Costs no runic power if you specced it!) and then herd it to the other one. Kill them while the meele are getting damaged by diseases and are frozen (Put diseases on them before you freeze) and you can then finish the meeles off. It is also a great lifesaver. These are just some of the cool things about the frost specc. Not saying its the best as i have not tried the others but it certainly aint bad.

Ok well intresting that you say it but you may say you can freeze guys but I can kill 10 lvl 60ers I am 60 without a big problem mostly because I have death strike what steals alot of health. But after your post I may say then that it is not bad but still I still think that Frost is not the best leveling specc but thats my opinion

[zoxan]

Actually 10 na I overreacted there I can kill 6 meleers though with nog loosing 50% of my health.
and I didnt say it was bad I just say I dont recommend it because of no drain life spells

Have to agree, I haven't tried the other specs yet but I'm finding Frost by no means weak.  Only level 59 but I can already tell that it is going to be fine for levelling.

No actually not really. unholy is really for grinding and leveling because of the AoEs and I dont really see how 20% more  mount speed can help in a boss fight ^^;
But as you all say frost is not that bad a of leveling specc. Maybe we first will need to see in Northrend. But I still think that frost is not the fastest way to level. xD
