Top 10 DK Changes (oh btw its overpowered) | Cataclysm Classic

The Catacylsm Rested XP Guide is here now! You can preorder here - www.restedxp.com/cataclysm/ref/scottejaye/ OR for Season of Discovery and Classic Era (Hardcore) www.restedxp.com/ref/scottejaye/ Also dont know why i said 0.25% for death strike shield, its 6.25 :P Slip of the tongue <3 Also, I genuinely didn't realise glyph of runetap was already in WOTLK and i even had a call with a pserver DK player to go over all these points before recording and that slipped by both of us.

Dark simulacrum was quite funny to use, don't remember the expansion, but do remember when locks could have doomguard as a permanent pet and as it cost mana, you could just have your own doomguard as a dk xD

This sold me as staying DK for my cata main.

Anyone else remember all the fuss that happened when player learned that, in Cata, healers need to do damage to be effective? People were losing their minds on the forums.

can't wait for the warlock video. thanks for these videos! kudos for the work!

Grats on 90k subs! Huge!

Another great one mate!

@Scottejaye, any chance you know if there is an expansion (Cataclysm or later) that the limitation of 1 death knight per account per realm is lifted?

"I AM A DOUCHEBAG! Don't know how to play my class? Still do 20k DPS!"

I guess it wasn't just preference that made me remember that DK felt great in Cata. I can't wait!

It is worth mentioning that the charges on Bone Shield have a 2 second internal cooldown, meaning that even if you receive a lot of hits (i.e. aoe tanking) it will still always be up for at least 10 seconds. Making it the DK version of Divine Protection, more or less.

Players used dark sim to hit Ragnaros in firelands for like a billion damage in OG cata

In all honesty I still much prefer the prot warrior tank even though I know my dk is better. I just loved prot warrior in cata

Dark simulacrum is very underrated . It can steal amazing abilities in hc dungeons such as holy fire from DM HC which does 100K-150k dmg and in pvp it is game changing and high skill capped ability that can steal ice block / sheep / hex / bubble/ blink if timed correctly .

Lets not forget DRW gets updated as a proper defensive now, 20% extra parry chance while its up, and it doubles the death strike heals if im not mistaken, although that might be a future expac

while i do like how cata changed dk, i NEVER understood why blood was the tanking spec thematically frost makes WAY more sense as a tank spec, and makes WAY less sense as a dps spec the dude whos literally coating himself in a wall of ice, and slowing the speed and sapping the strength of those around him....is a dps? the dude whos viciously draining the blood from his enemies, drinking it in to empower himself...is a tank? what why is the guy whos ENTIRE power comes from killing the enemy, the tank? and the guy whos entire power comes from something that MAKES HIM TANKIER AND THE ENEMY SLOWER.....not a tank? nah, blood should have always been the heavy hitting dps spec, while frost should have been the tank spec it genuinly makes NO sense why blizz did it the other way around

SCOT, can you make a video about which glyphs we need to buy that carry over vs the ones that dont?

never understood why blizzard overpowered Dk like this crazy

Is it better ( more fun ) to stay with my main Frost DK in Cata or to change main? Furry War, Fire mage and Disc Priest 80 lvl too 😁

Does this take into account the gargoyle snap shotting fix in wotlk?
