Dual Wield Q&A

[THECames]

When I am doing this build, I use Blood Presence.  Don't know about others.

Always use blood presence when DPSing.

So, I've been a dw'ing DK for quite some time now, and currently running the tri-spec due to the fact that i still have some trashy gear on me.

That being said - I've read a lot about the basic guides on dw'ing as a DK and whatnot. However, I am curious...

I'm guessing that tri-spec is still the best option for me for the moment until i get some upgrades - but i still need some input please. I have the +90 str greatness, nobles deck, ready for when Darkmoon Faire comes next, and i do realize my rings need a major upgrade (i lost Circle of Death the other night /cry).

So please give me some input.
Thanks ^_^

Your stats are pretty good, and it can only get better! I think you could definitely do fine with any DW spec. And IMO, Trispec doesn't scale as well as it used to after the KM changes. I was messing around with it again this week, but I wasn't happy with my results. Feel free to prove me otherwise though, if you enjoy it!

Hello i have question: i recieve recomendation from my friend to DW dk until 3.1 on raids! Before i play 2 hand 51-18-7. I tryed best way with DW 0 - 33 - 38 and on single target dummy(boss) in ebon hold i did only 2000dps..... its too low in compare with 2 hand and 51-18-7 ...... ( i never tryed 2 hand on dummy ) you can see my items here:http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Drak%27thul&n=Dontlookatme     can u help me with improve dps????What can i do?Change slow main hand for grass cutter?Thx for reponse

Hey whats up. My first suggestion is to use Fallen Crusader on MH, and Cinderglacier on OH. Get your Sons of Hodir reputation up so you can get the DPS shoulder enchants. There is an Honored and Exalted version. both would be better than the +stam one.

You will not see big numbers on the test dummy because DW benefits from many buffs in a raid which makes it scale quite well. What kind of raid are you respeccing for? a 10 or 25man? Also dont change your spec if you are happy with 2hander. But I hope you do enjoy DW if you continue to try it For talents, not bad choices but some stuff could probably be switched around.

i respected for 25 man raid Malygos/Sarth 3D       and my hit is ok? i boosted str cause someone on this forum say that 8 % hit is ok.

[MaximusDeath]

is the 8% hit thing ok if your ally? Cause us horde dk's don't get that free 1% hit

[Antimoni]

8% is for everyone, regardless of other buffs and debuffs. 8% is for special attacks though (Blood Strike, plague strike, etc) For spells such as Icy Touch, Death Coil, you need 17% Spell hit. If you mouse over the Spell portion of your character window it will tell you what % you are at.

With buffs such as Draenei aura, you bump those down by 1%, and so on depending on what classes you have available in your raid. If you arent sure what buffs you are getting but you know who your core raiders are, check out the Raid Comp tool which lists things out.

Very quick, very easy. Probably obvious, but asking can't hurt

99 Haste rating or 16 Str?  Im extremely unsure if it right now. My brain is screaming at me, saying "YOU IDIOT, IT'S 3% MORE HASTE! TAAAAAKE IIIIIIT" But I hesitate, because it has been beaten into me that STR is God.

specced 20/51 DW

I know that the haste will own in 3.1, but I'd like to know if it's worth it right nao

Hi guys,

New here and my first post. I'm using 2hnd at the moment but want to try DW and get some good DPS. Here's my link

http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Kilrogg&n=Cartlay

I know some of my gear needs changing but what will be the best spec and rotation for me,

Any help would be great

Thanks

[MaximusDeath]

well i can't see your link(Work Internets) anyway ill let you answer 1 question for me is your current gearset have alot of ArP if so DW Frost is the way to go, on the other said of that if you don't have any to very low ArP DW Unholy is way better but fyi 2h unholy is currently beating DW Unholy on the meters but not by much.

[cartlay]

my ArP is 122 at the moment, should i stick with 2h? DW is more tho lol 

[Hinenuitepo]

yes, in your gear 2H unholy will win. There are two versions of DW unholy if you want to try them; a Death Coil spam based solely on single strikes and lots of buffed death coils, or Scourge Strike DW, which inserts a single scourge strike into your rotation.

Both can be found at elitist jerks, with discussion of pluses and minuses. I too can't view your link or add one of my own due to works.

Good luck!
