Blood is probably best single target in raids due to buffs and what not. Unholy uses 2 runes for around 12-15k dmg, whereas blood uses 1 rune for around 12-15k damage and even more if sudden doom triggers.

However, Blood's buffs are reproducible with other commonly filled classes (Hysteria notwithstanding), where Ebon Plague is less likely to have overlap, plus the benefit of being able to apply it to multiple targets at once.

Certainly a very good thing to bring to a raid. I just changed my DK's 2nd spec to unholy since I never really got into PvPing with him so I now have the option of blood or unholy depending on raid composition.

So far I'm not that great at Unholy's rotation and I'm doing a good bit more dps as blood, especially on a boss. But I'm only at like t7.5ish stats overall, maybe, not sure so I guess I'll see as I slowly gear him up.

I was going to ask about this. I honestly couldn't stand BP when I was Blood spec, it felt "too slow" compared to UP. After I respecced to Unholy I noticed it being a lot less hectic and started using BP again.

BP is always the best presence to be in now. There's no reason you should be using UP unless you're running around town. Self-healing and +15% more damage far out weighs any kind of slow feeling you may have.

Well I was referring to the quicker GCD on your spells. I found it kind of annoying when I was trying to spam two death coils just in time to use my strikes for example. Maybe I'm being a bit too extreme with tightening the rotation but it just felt more hectic in general playing Blood in BP.

Also a question. I still have some heroics in BC I haven't done.. Could a Shaman solo these heroics by now? I've only heard of tanks being able to do stuff like Magister's Terrace but I figured maybe a Bloodlust/Earth Elemental could do the trick.

Ive done a few on enhance. UR+dogs can keep you alive through pretty much anything

I'm Elemental. I've soloed some things like those Battle at Vallahas. I'm mostly worried about Vexallus. Though I could probably just run through him and use reinc to get by. I think I'll give it a shot and see if it's possible.

i'm wondering which pieces of t9 to get as a tank war first? i just got the body and was wondering if there's any specific order in which i should be spending my triumphs, also... should i get the axe ranged from that vendor? its so much better than what i have now..

The 245 Triumph throwing weapon is nice, but even http://www.wowhead.com/?item=41168 is a pretty nice upgrade from what you have, and it's fairly cheap.

**Norellicus** · 2009-12-16 00:41

Head and chest are the two biggest budget items and thus usually the largest overall upgrades.

If you have money and get crusader orb chest instead, then shoulders is the next best upgrade after that.

**EternityEnd** · 2009-12-16 02:16

I would recommend getting the T9 shoulders and the 245 helm. You don't want 5/5 T9-- either get 245 shoulders or head; I prefer head.

**Plow** · 2009-12-16 04:00

Helm of Wrath would be the best option, no?

**Knyghtmayre** · 2009-12-17 00:06

Whyyyyyyyy do I have so much hittttttttttt?

@382hitrating, getting Knightbane Carapace tomorrow, which will put me at 464, which is 149(?) over the poison cap.

I have 2 options: One is to get the 232 legs and feet, the other option is to drop mark of supremacy and get Needle-Encrusted Scorpion. Both of which require luck, but I don't know which one I'm better off with. The actual tradeoffs are:

Feet and legs: Trade 116Hit, Blue Socket x2, Red Socket x2, Socket Bonus: +12 Agility for +42 Agility, +3 Crit, +80 Haste, +69 AP, +63 ArP

Trinket: Trade 128Hit Use:AP+1024@2min for +114Crit Equip:+678 ArP on Crit for 10s.

Which one do I go for? ;<

**Boyiee** · 2009-12-17 00:26

Use your spreadsheet...

It's not BAD having too much hit, it just doesn't give as large of a bonus as other stats would.

**Correction** · 2009-12-17 00:32

Do not fear hit, you'll miss it badly once you start amassing t10, which has practically none.

**Quixotic** · 2009-12-17 02:36

Agree with above two, due to the changes in 3.3 for deadly poison, having hit up to the white hit cap (700 something hit) is not terrible because your OH will now hit more, allowing more DP(thus, IP) procs on mobs.

**Acturus** · 2009-12-17 07:45

*edit* lemme rephrase.

Are there quests to gain rep with Ashen Verdict, or is it raid-based only?

**Tricen** · 2009-12-17 08:09

The only quest I know if is when you get to friendly and get your ring you get 250 ep

**Arc07** · 2009-12-17 08:24

Farm trash. Ring upgrade quests are 250 rep/each.
