My Spec is ideal for DPS. Well, it would be if Frost interfaced with Blood correctly.
No.. Not with runetap, those points are better put into Dark Conviction for the extra crit. With such a deep unholy build you shouldn't be using oblit, instead your rotation should be something involving keeping up diseases 100%.

Icy touch -> Plague Strike -> Blood Strike -> Blood Strike -> Scourge Strike -> RUNE POWER DUMP

Scourge Strike -> Scourge Strike -> Scourge Strike -> RUNE POWER DUMP

Repeat. Though unholy DPS is dead as of 3.2.

Suprisingly, my DPS has improved since 3.2. The new Desecration is useful but I'm going to get dual spec soon, and respec both specs.

....And why is that?
Scourge Strike: Weapon damage bonus reduced to 40%, down from 45%. Damage increased by 10% per disease on the target, down from 11%.

Desecration: This talent has been reduced to 2 points for 25/50% snare and no longer increases damage done by the death knight. It has also been moved one tier earlier in the tree and its spell effect has been made more transparent.

Basically the nerfs make it more viable to play blood dps or dual wield frost.

Yep Scourge Strike nerfed, no shit. But if you didn't notice, they increased the damage done by diseases by 15%.
AND added a lovely 5-pointer talent named Desolation, which increases your damage done by 5%, so the damage loss from Desecration has been payed up for.

But yes, Scourge Strike has been nerfed, and I've heard that most unholy builds use Obliterate as main attack, but that doesn't certainly mean that Unholy dps is dead. :rolleyes:

Nope. Haste > Crit and Expertise for Unholy spec. 4str socket bonus means it's worth gemming for it if it's a yellow. Token because it's that or Needle. As for Frost, Haste is roughly on par with Crit. About 2 points above last time I got my EP values.

The 4str socket would give you 2.94x4 + 2.94x10 + 2.06x10=32.36

vs 2.94x20 = 58.8

That's assuming it's a one socket yellow with 4 str bonus.

    Recently tried out ChatGPT about WE triggering. Wow it's capable of giving a somewhat legitimate response.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am sure it has read all the info on the forums here
  • The Helper The Helper:
    i think triggering is just scripting and chatgpt is real good at code
  • vypur85 vypur85:
    Yeah I suppose so. It's interesting how it can explain in so much detail.
  • vypur85 vypur85:
    But yet it won't work.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    it does a bad ass job doing excel vba code it has leveled me up at my job when I deal with excel that is for sure
  • vypur85 vypur85:
    Nice! I love Excel coding as well. Has always been using Google to help me. Maybe I'll use ChatGPT next time when I need it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    yeah whatever it puts out even if it is not perfect I can fix it and the latest version of chatgpt can create websites from pictures it will not be long until it can do that with almost all the tools

    A lot more low quality content, a lot more half-baked stuff.
  • jonas jonas:
    If you're good enough to spot the mistakes of the answers you don't need it in the first place. If you aren't good enough, you're gonna rely on some half-correct stuff
  • The Helper The Helper:
    the earlier AI is and has been used extensively for publishing news and other content for a while now

    I used to be active on quora, it's now flooded with extremely similar, superficial answers that often miss the point of the question
