Ok so me and a friend are debating on which stats for unholy, I say haste + Mastery, he says crit only. Our Dks are our mains and we've both played unholy. Tell me who is correct.
Haste -> Crit ->Mastery. Mastery didn't fall in value so much as Crit's value rose greatly once they fixed the pet scaling issue.
You're both wrong. DKs love haste. The difference in 4.3 is that now Unholy loves Crit. So, all those items with haste and crit? Or crit and mastery? Yeah, you love those now.
Actually...Aiztam has it right, haste is top followed by crit.

Anyone else having this problem?
Since 4.3 has droped ive noticed that while im tanking im being crit by mobs and bosses. At first i just thought it was a bug and maybe my addons were causing an issue. But the last few bosses I've fought against in DS ive been getting hit very hard by crits (yes i have improved blood presence in my talent build. I've also confirmed that it is a crit and is recorded in my combat log even after turning off all addons, removing them, and all the such that your general gm would say to try and do before opening a ticket of the such about this kind of issue. So has anyone else noticed this problem?
Switch presences every time you zone in.

Acherus Knight's Set
I love that the Quest gear that I got rid of long ago is now available, but what about the starting gear? I don't see anything about that stuff being available and I kinda liked it better. Is this available and I'm just missing it (cannot log in right now but will once I can)
It's there keep going through the vendor.
You can even buy the odd trinkets / rings, oddly enough.
Thanks a lot, just have wowhead to go by for now. I will have to log in soon... Off work in 30 minutes.

Necrotic Strike Casting debuff stack?
dose the casting debuff from necrotic stack so if i have 2 dks both have Necrotic up will it increase casting time by 60%?
no it stays 30%
60% combined casting debuff would be unreasonably cruel

I give up. I am terrible at Unholy
I know my set isn't complete, but !@#$ my dmg is pitiful. My rotation/priority is typically Outbreak, DT, DC, Garg(whenever it's up)NS/FS, but if I am doing it wrong don't hesitate to bash me because I am sick of Blood and doing !@#$ for dmg.
..........I really thought Tichondrius was like the best PvP server too. This is a sad day for me.
thanks for the update... we were beginning to worry what was wrong with you
Oh gee, if only an AoE spec had some decent AoE abilities like Pestilence or Death and Decay or Blood Boil or OH WAIT
Your an idiot if you think Unholy is a AoE spec... and unholy is not known for damage, but for hte ton of pressure you can put out with necrotic Strike. With your pet enraged and your garg out plus all the necros you can get off, pressure is insane.also unholy has more utility with AMZ and pet stun. Overall the better pvp spec imo.
True, I was thinking of adding SS, but every site I read says to skip it for straight NS.
First things first. What in the world is "DT"? I'm a 2.2k experienced DK and even I don't know what you're talking about. Maybe I just completely blanked out on something here but you lost me on that part.
Anyways I realize you said you're gear wasn't complete but I checked it out and it seems to me that it's not just incomplete but some if it is just plain wrong. You do realize you have a ring with intellect on it right?
As far as your gear is concerned aim for this:
1.) 5% hit rating
2.) 195 spell penetration(+50 spell pen gems in gloves, belt and legs. Then +70 spell pen to cloak is the easiest way to get this)
3.) As much Strength as possible
4.) Then as much Haste as possible.
Priority list of moves should be:
1.) Chains of Ice(for initial slow and frost fever)
2.) Plague Strike(for blood plague)
***Outbreak***( if you need to refresh diseases and they are already afflicted by Chains of Ice or standing in desecration)
3.) Festering Strike(to extend duration of Chains of Ice and diseases)
4.) Necrotic Strike
5.) Deathcoil(ONLY IF Unholy blight is about to fall off or if your diseases are up and you don't have the runes to Necro strike or Festering strike)
***Make sure ghoul is also attacking your target at all times***
***Transform ghoul as often as possible***
***Summon Gargoyle when opponent is below 70% or so and you think you may get a kill***

Jadou,
Might I suggest pulling Talents out of Butchery, Epidemic/Contagion, and spec into Icy Reach; Lichborne.
Transforming yourself into undead and self-healing with Death Coil is an important PvP utility.
Don't be discouraged with output - unholy has a long ramp-up. Rethink your role as more utility - use the stuns/slows/interrupts, stack nectrotic strikes & keep diseases up to pressure healers, build RP for your gargoyle, then stack strength buffs and unleash. Use Death Strikes and Lichborne/DC to keep yourself up as needed.
Its a different playstyle than straight up buttonsmash DPS, and more difficult to master IMO, but it can be loads of fun to play.
EDIT: You also may want to consider rethinking the Death & Decay Glyph. Most PvP'rs avoid spending much time standing in the bad stuff. :-)

Death Strike Hitting Twice?
I don't know if i'm missing something, but death strike isn't suppose to hit twice right? Why is mine always hitting twice for the same exact damage? Seems to only happens in pvp it will hit twice and both hits register. Does it all the time.
As you can see I haven't used dancing rune weapon.

Your combatlog is duplicating entries. You are not actually hitting twice. Update any chat or combatlog mod you may be using.
I actually see two hits on the screen over the guys name. Ill see 27367 pop up twice over the guys head. I would think maybe its my UI, but I don't have anything custom.
It's your combatlog. It could just be an error of the standard UI, but I'm 100% sure it's duplicating entries.
Whenever it happens to me, /console reloadui fixes it.

Blood DK -- PVE -- Hit/Exp
Hi Guys,
I don't think I've stopped playing on my DK (Farkyy - Dragonblight Realm) since 4.3 hit. I'm basically in full 378 gear and I'm having a blast tanking heroics and the LFR bosses.
I'm currently sitting at 6% hit and 23 expertise which I know is highly unconventional and perhaps unneccesary. I noticed that my dps is #1 in almost every heroic that I run (25k overall, 20k single target). I'm looking to dump some hit/exp to increase my dodge/parry chance but I love the dps that I'm doing, and I HATE missing/being dodged or parried.
I'm comfortable with my character and literally never die. So I'm kind of on the fence about changing the hit/exp to dodge/parry. Anyone have any thoughts? Am I absolutely crazy for having hit/exp on my DK?
