Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all! (And those who don't celebrate Happy Holidays!)

First discussion in my pvp oriented blog is my spec and 2's team.

http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/classes/deathknight/talents.html?tal=2305011503000010000000000000000000000000000000000000000230232300023115050151213103100

21/0/50 currently is my spec.

Mark of blood - drop this on a rogue harassing my paladin and watch my pally's health skyrocket. Same thing for a hunter's pet.
Rune tap - no brainer?
Night of the dead - so when my ghoul gets focused I can pop another one out without waiting 5 minutes, as most games are done after 2 mins.
Blood-caked blade - 25% chance for me to hit HARDER with all auto attacks. Even though I am not auto-swinging a lot (as I am SMASHING rune skills or getting CCed) this I have found DOES help.
Unholy aura - mainly for me as sometimes I do need to flip into frost presence (vs double melee OW!) I can still run faster then most people and keep my pally alive. This can be dropped

2's team: Holy paladin + Unholy DK. Seems like the odd couple indeed. My major problem is getting CCed or kited around. My paladin can blessing of freedom me (removes stuns while talented) and can also get rid of most CC effect. He is currently lacking resil so he gets crushed in 3 hits right now but we're fixing it. Overall I am finding this to be VERY powerful. I need the 2h axe from naxx 25 (betrayer of humanity http://www.wowhead.com/?item=40384 ) which I may just pay a guild for. I know there's a few people out there screaming "OMFGNOOOO!" but it's the fastest way of getting it for 100% certainty. This would be a HUGE boost as it is 20 DPS higher then even the deadly weapons. (thus saving 4.5k arena points)

And all of you wanting insight into the next patch I am considering running: http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=jfV0acZhgxtIxdoGRhosz or something around those lines currently. More on this after Christmas

Still ticking!

PVE has been conquered by me I have my title champion of the frozen wastes so now I sit around bored because the content is too easy.

Blizzard if you are reading this - MAKE THINGS HARDER. Not that I am complaining I have officially QUIT.... PVE... (scared yeah didn't I?)

So I am now focusing directly on pvp.

For anyone following my armory you'll see it, full PVP gear almost giving me 598 resil at time of this post. This week I got the following personal ratings in arena:

2's: 1678
3's: 1515
5's: 1579

Gave me a whopping 445 arena points this week. Not bad for not being entirely geared yet. I still have to replace my neck, rings (LOL RINGS) and belt with some better things.

But for now I am ripping people apart. This blog is going to turn from PVE to PVP soon but I have one final movie to go which will be "how to tank as a DK" (pre-buff) I raid/pve as unholy-trispec and pvp as unholy/blood.

Hope everybody will enjoy whats to come: Tales from a Deathly Gladiator

Your brother in arms, in death, and your worst nightmare in arena,

I'm NOT dead!

Errr....Except for the whole fact of being a Death Knight and being dead to begin with...

MOVING ON!

Been really busy raiding: http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Kil%27jaeden&n=Holykow

I am a really well known tank, probably because I am one of the few who DUAL WIELDS! Strange? Very! Does it work? OH HECK YES! Parry-gibbing? Happened ONCE so far against Mala. He hit breathed then parried and squashed me. Overall I took about 36k dmg in 2 seconds, not much anybody could do about it.

With the new rune forge I will be switching weapons based around the type of fight.

For anyone who does not know about the up and coming changes: http://www.worldofraids.com/ should give you more then enough information. Overall I am NOT angry about them I welcome the changes. Slight nerfs to a few skills and major buffs to some other ones.

So blizzard, bring it on! You challenged me with this class I am ready to go toe to toe with you and take the class to the LIMITS! (and yes solo ony was a joke on live) - Hakaar I come for you....tomorrow... sleep now!

Thanks to the many people who have sent me tells in game feel free to bother me any time! (except for when I am in a raid :) gotta pay attention most of the time. Unless I am tanking patchwerk then I can just go afk and drink beer and he can wail on me all he wants - that story comes tomorrow too)
