It’s official. Not that we weren’t expecting it – with Blood being the tanking tree, and the presences being changed accordingly so that you’re not in the Blood tree in Frost presence tanking, it would only make sense that they’d remove the threat multiplier for Icy Touch in Frost Presence. Still (though *ahem* I’ve yet [...]

Because I Haven’t Updated in a While:
It’s been a while. Here’s some catching up: I tried a Blood tanking spec for a while. Was asked to go back to Frost before I could update my spec here. And I’m OK with that. While I really think I should be learning Blood tanking for Cataclysm, face it I like Frost tanking, and [...]
All I Will Say about the Celestial Steed:
My two cents about the Celestial Steed: “Hello healers, tanks, look at your death knight, now back to me, now back at your death knight, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped using Army of the Dead on trash pulls and learned his class and spec, he could smell like [...]
Cataclysm: Death Knight Preview.
So, for the few of you who haven’t yet seen the Cataclysm death knight preview, with some analysis by Zarhym and Ghostcrawler. go look now. I’l wait. Back? Good. I’ve slept on it, and thought about it, and I’ve come to the surprising conclusion that this is in fact a buff. “What?” you may ask. [...]
The New Icy Touch in Frost, or, Show Me On The Doll Where The Death Knight Icy Touched You
You may get the feeling, from the title, that I’m impressed with the change to Icy Touch. For those unfamiliar with the change, Icy Touch now does roughly seven times more threat while the DK is in Frost Presence. Combine this with the doubling of threat from Frost Presence itself, and Satorri at Tankspot estimates [...]
Let’s Talk Specs
With 3.3.3 coming out soon, there’s going to be a few changeups in specs. For Unholy DPS, I’m seeing 0/17/54 suggested for the new cookie-cutter spec. Looks like the Frost goodies scale better with gear than the Blood does, though Elitist Jerks is talking about a 10-100 dps difference, which I find trivial. Still, might [...]
Fail tanking is fail.
Tried again to get on the tanking horse. Could not, for the unlife of me, keep aggro. I know I’m slow on the taunts and I need to rebind them to a more convenient key, but Arthas damn! I was reduced to Howling Blast, Obliterate, Dark Command, and Death Grip as my rotation. And even [...]
How Alive Are We II: Romance, Emotion and Sex, When You Don’t Have a Metabolism
Revisited this topic this morning on Twitter, when I opined that, due to having been raised by Arthas to consume the living I probably don’t have the finer emotions or even the capability for sensation. This was due to having seen the ComplexActions strip today involving a spacegoat girl getting tonsil-checked by the frog princess [...]
Oh, VoA and Onyxia, btw.
Oh, by the way, got Vault of Archavon 10 and Onyxia 10 last night, in my “pinch-hitter/casual raider” role. The hardcore raid leader wishes I had the schedule and lack of family aggro needed for the twice-weekly Ulduar hardmodes and ICC raids. High praise considering I was only vaguely familiar with Ony and not at [...]
Happy New Year, And About Arthas Damned Time Too
Yes, I’m going to try to post more in the New Year. Yes, I understand that this isn’t a great start. This year, I hope to get my ravasaur up and running – getting kinda sick of the base Deathcharger. As you can see, I’ve finally taken the plunge and ditched Mining for Jewelcrafting. People [...]
