Heya guys!!  So it’s time for a new spec update from 3.2!!  And well, Unholy is looking weird atm so I do expect to see even further changes coming.  Some people tend to think that 3.2 will go live on Tuesday because they don’t intend for the current Arena season to end yet.  Blizzard gives 2 weeks notice before an Arena season ends for those who did know.

But the other line of thinking is that it is going live this Tuesday, and that the Arena season is just being extended.  Which has happened in BC before.  The main counter to that however is the new Arena gear for the next season and all of the updates on Arena changes. 

Unholy 3.2 Builds

The big reason to expect upcoming changes to Unholy is because Blizzard’s “design goal” for DK’s is that there should be one major strike for every tree’s rotation.  Blood has Death Strike, Frost has Obliterate, and Unholy has Scourge Strike.  However Unholy will be scaling the best with OB over SS in the current 3.2 PTR version.  Which leads me to believe that we should expect some kind of a change to come.

2H Unholy SS Build - 0/10/61

Rotations

PS – IT - BS - BS - SS - RP  //  SS - SS - SS – RP

Priority System:  Diseases (BP > FF) > MaxRP-Dump > SS > BS > DC.  It is important to understand that Rune abilities always take priority over RP abilities.  The one exception to Rune > RP  is if you will go over your RP cap, then immediately fire off a RP ability.  Always keep the 2SR in mind however, as you will want to fire off DC’s and HoW between GCD’s when possible.  Don’t just RP dump at the end of a rotation.

Anytime your diseases are not refreshed by SS Glyph, make sure you refresh them yourself.  So long as your diseases have 2+ seconds on their duration firing off SS’s is fine.  Just be aware of your Rune CD’s and the duration left on your diseases at all times.  BP and FF diseases take priority over all other attacks.  Otherwise you can spam SS and BS, ignoring IT and PS as long as the SS Glyph is proc’ing.
