Awesome, good to know. Thank you!

I'm about to hit 90, I really enjoyed leveling to 90 so here is my question:

Does this game go completely down hill at 90 like it did in cataclysm after hitting 85?

You need to do over 1000 dailies (unless you raid) to feel like you're progressing. Unless you feel content with doing LFR/dungeons only.

If you enjoy dailies, that's cool. If not, then yeh it really does go to shit.

All the good stuff (VP gear) is gated behind dailies, needing honored for "lesser" pieces (rings, capes, bracers) and revered for the good stuff (trinkets, boots, helm, body, shoulder etc etc)

If you have blues and any heroic gear at all you are fine for normal raids. They are designed to be able to be done in normal/heroic gear.

476 crafted chest/glove/DMC card pretty much your raid startup gear, they are cheap and in most cases well itemized.

To any other DKs out there:

when i apply frost fever or blood plague on a lvl 90 mob, the debuff is showing 173 dps. Yet, going into the spellbook, it says 4,133 dps. Is it just an error on the debuff?

**Plow** · 2012-12-09 04:50

afaik diseases and pets all scale constantly with your gear/buffs/etc. now, I haven't even looked at tooltips or anything but I'd assume the debuff on the boss just shows the baseline damage

**BadKarma** · 2012-12-09 11:52

The tooltip isn't real time. Shows baseline DMg without modifiers

Anyone know if there is any way to send shit to characters on the same account that are of opposing groups? I was thinking of maybe making a pandarean character and using it as an intermediary between my alliance and horde characters, since they are neutral, but not 100% that would work. Also, it's kinda bullshit that it won't let me mail shit to my other characters just cause they "are not friendly" >_>.

**Clemz** · 2012-12-11 13:14

There's no mailbox available to pandas until they pick a faction, so even if you could mail to them(which you can't), they'd have no way of retrieving it.

**Seraph** · 2012-12-11 13:15

You can use neutral Auction Houses do accomplish that, but it will cost you since if i remember correctly the fees are rather steep (and someone could always snipe your shit). Could always faction change an alt too. Either way sucks though.

Neutral auction house won't allow one to bid on one's alt's auctions (I've tried). He'd need an intermediary.

I did not know that. Worst case then you need a guild friend or RL buddy you can trust. Would still work in theory though...

Anyways, make sure whatever it is it ultimately ends up on your Horde char, Alliance sucks, etc.

So can anyone tell me how I would go about finding a good guild when the time comes? I've been getting guild invites at random to which i've declined since I figured blind invites = no thanks, taking from my experience in FFXI, i've also assumed that shout guilds are not the way to go either, once again due to comparing to my experience in FFXI. So I figured I would ask here so I can start looking for one for when the time comes that I can do raids and shit like that.

Check the WoW realm forums, and the in game guild finder tool. you can usually find what suits you that way and at least join up in a guild and once in one you can get a feel for all the other guilds on your server and what they are like.

**Korialstrasz** · 2012-12-14 00:09

Guilds that recruit via an addon should definitely be avoided. Some of them simply do it till 25, boot everyone out, then sell it.

Ones that recruit through trade can be well worth it though. There's generally something to be said about a guild who has a well written recruitment message, and one that looks like they wrote it by smashing their keyboard into their face.

How do i handle soloing Kael'thas? Seems like kind of an odd fight. I'm a frost dk if that matters.

**Plow** · 2012-12-20 06:17

at 90?

kill all the things

if you're really struggling, you can get a bit more complex but you shouldn't need to, have you tried it and had a specific issue?

**The Stig** · 2012-12-20 06:58

At 90 it becomes no brainer really, at 85 it was slightly more tricky. Granted, I've not tried it myself.

Still, safe method, this is what I did as blood 85, will apply for frost 90:

Activate fight
Run to entrance (or near by)
Wait
Kill Slow Axe Dude
Kill the running sword dude
Drag bitch mage right up to the boss room (which is blocked), kill that bitch right there
Drag engineer dude back to the room (upper level is fine) where Al'ar is, kill him there when there's 10s left until remote toy expires (killing him too fast = a full minute of remote toy debuff, which can be deadly)
Run back to where bitch mage was, wait for the weapons to come
Blast all the weapons down, don't loot
Bitch mage will resurrect. Army of the dead here will help slightly, summon ghoul too. You want constant damage on her to get her dead while you're temporarily retarded. Magic Shield will prevent an application, best used the moment she's resurrected
Kill the other 3
Engage the big bad
Use antimagicshell liberally
In phase 5, he will throw you in the air, don't get too close, a debuff which cuts your max HP % -- stay ranged but under somewhere where the ceiling isn't too high and just howling blast him down from there. You may need to hide though or get out of range as he will laser you constantly during this part. When you're no longer in the air, re-engage and kick his ass
--
Survival is priority here of course. I recommend using a mixture of Death Strike and Death Siphon for when you drop below 50%
Infact, if you got Dual Souldrinkers lying around, that should be able to keep you up without the use of either Strike or Siphon as it heals based on % (and at 90 it's triple the amount of HP you'd get at 85). You'd sacrifice DPS for it however.

**Plow** · 2012-12-20 07:40

that shit wasn't even necessary at 85

simple strat that worked then and should get anyone through if they're struggling on a dk now:

stand in back corner behind kt, kill first 2 doods there

run to back wall, los mage chick on a doorway wall, your goal is just to get her near a wall then kill her

run back to the opposite end to kill engineer, kill him with debuff at <20 seconds (you can kill him before you ever get debuff at 90 tho)

kill weapons where they are

run to the mage, put your back to the wall

cast army when he's about halfway through the rp paragraph, pop ghoul as well, and pillar, as well as erw if you need to

ams and rape her in 2 seconds flat

kill the engineer asap, kill rend dude once your engineer debuff wears

kill kael
