Blood DK Combat 101

Post by Blinco123

A Blood Death Knight will rely on physical damage while having above average self-healing abilities to improve survivability. This is more obvious with investing in Vampiric Blood and Rune Tap, and as you level up Improved Rune Tap. You will gain expertise and strength bonuses by investing in Veteran of the Third War, Abomination's Might and Blood Gorged. However, a Blood Death Knight will shine the best when combining his Death Strike with Bloody Strikes, Dark Conviction, Subversion and Might of Mograine -- even more when the Death Knight has Glyph of Death Strike and take full advantage of Blood Gorged by keeping himself at full health the majority of time.

A Simple Blood Death knight Rotation

Plague Strike -> Icy Touch -> Heart Strike -> Heart Strike -> Obliterate -> Death Coil -> Plague Strike -> Icy Touch -> Heart Strike -> Heart Strike -> Heart Strike -> Heart Strike -> Death Coil.

This rotation would be my suggested rotation for a deathknight, you can mix it up a bit but try keep to the core rotation.

-Glyphs-

These are my suggested glyphs for a blood deathknight

Suggested Major Glyphs

Glyph of Death Strike
Glyph of Vampiric Blood

Suggested Minor Glyphs

Glyph of Pestilence
Glyph of Horn of Winter

The odd thing about the blood tree when you get to raids and heroics if your dpsing your healing becomes an afterthought. Blood presence at the most is the healing you do. When soloing elites then yes pull out all of your tricks, though they are unnecesary in the endgame
