My Death Knight Is Level 80
My Death Knight, Embry, is officially Level 80. When I decided to ease up on my gold rush it seemed like the perfect time to re-visit this neglected character and see what it was like to seriously play the class.
If I learned anything on my journey to my third Level 80 character it was this: I’m awful with melee classes. I’m pretty sure that even through 20+ levels of quests that I still have no idea what I’m doing with my Death Knight. I rolled with my own Blood build and rotation the entire way but last night I did some research and figured out what the general consensus on the “right” way to play a Death Knight really is. You can check him out on the Armory to see if I’m doing it right or not. Any help in the comments of this post would be greatly appreciated.
Shortly after hitting 80, I rushed into Wintergrasp to do the weeklies and build up some Honor points for the Hateful Gladiator Dreadplate Shoulders. I was a bit short so I had to spend an hour or so in Battlegrounds to get over the hump. Then I built myself a Spiked Titansteel Helm and a pair of Spiked Titansteel Treads. I called it a night by blowing a small fortune on Titansteel Bars so I could make a Titansteel Destroyer.
When it was all said and done my Hit Rating came in at 288. That’s still too high from what I understand (Skeleton Jack says the Hit Cap for a Death Knight is 265, and that’s what I’m going off of) so I’m going to have to make some adjustments with gems or something.
I asked above but I want to reiterate again: if you have any thoughts or comments on playing a DPS Death Knight at Level 80 please leave a comment.
