Heya guys!!  That’s right!!  5700 DPS on Patchwerk!!  /sexy on  We dropped him in under 3 minutes taking Heroic: Make Quick Werk Of Him for the first time!!  And then on top of that I finally got my Sigil of Awareness tonight from Heigan!!  Pop it in my slot, and WHAMMO!!!  Superior!!! 

So, that’s right.  5700 DPS with no weird buffs from encounters as Unholy.  It’s doable.  I think 6k+ is doable now.  Pimpin’ stuff eh?! 

Now, wanna see something else that’s interesting?  Batmack did 5500 dps as DUAL WIELD SPEC!!!  How’s that for pimptastic eh?  End Answer!??! 

Dual Wield Does Not Suck!!! 

Kind of cool to find that out eh?

Heya guys!!  Not a lot to write today, but tomorrow I will have 2 posts up for you all.  The next top 10 best in slot post and a post on what glyphs to use for PvE dps.  

But for those wondering why there’s not much info today, here is why.  My vacation is over now.  Yes, I took off a week of work just for WotLK release.  I am that much of a gamer geek!!    And well…Sundays are a long day for me.  I work during the day, pick up my oldest friend in the world after (who lives a fair distance from me), and then go hang out with my gamer geek buddies to do old fashioned pen and paper RPG’s.  This is a group of guys I’ve been hanging out with regularly for about 10 years now, so it’s just something I don’t miss.

Anyways, between working, getting my friend, and going to the game I never have time to raid or play WoW much on Sundays.  Let alone get work done on my site.  So I thought I’d give you a heads up now, you won’t ever see much information coming out of me on Sundays.  Anyways, that’s enough of /rl.

As to Naxx 10 and some “dragon”…

We went in last night and finished up Naxx10.  I don’t really have dps to report because our OT was MIA, and I had to sub in.  It was fun, but it was eye opening.  While before I was unsure as to whether I wanted to be a tank or DPS, now I know.  I want to DPS full time.  Tanking is cool, and I wouldn’t mind doing it as needed, but it’s not something I want to do again full time.  Being the MT for a run is fun, being the OT is boring.  And being a T in general, is always a bit stressful.

We also went and killed the Winterspring boss, who is a flat out joke he is so easy.  And we killed that 10 man dragon with the 3 lil dragon adds and the portals.  Yes, we took the easy route and killed all three first.  But so far, the 10 man content has proven very easy and SK (Sleepless Knights, my guild on Bronzebeard) has now cleared all three of those 10 man content encounters with 2 groups.  I was *that* tired that I don’t remember what their names were…and well…I wanna go to bed.  So I’m not looking it up right now. 

More to come…

• I’m going to cover which specs to use for PvP, PvE DPS, PvE Tank.
• Which glyphs to use for each spec and role.
• More Top 10 Best in Slot items.
• DPS numbers, a bit more in depth.
• Some Unholy focusing.

Thanks to all of you who come read my site.  You’ve helped make me feel very appreciated.  It’s even more of a pleasure now to write for you guys than ever before.  This site has not been up for a month, but we’re already at an average of 2,500 visitors a day.

As always, good luck murdering people.  I know you have it in you!!

Heya guys!!   Keep on reading, and I have tons of screen shots of dps on boss kills, pets, and overall.  I even got one SS of me doing 5k+ DPS on an AoE pack of mobs!!  BUT…before we get there…long story short…..

I HAD A F’ING BLAST IN THERE!!!!!  OMFG!!!!  It was *so* much fun!!  If you’re looking for AoE goodness, this is the place to be!!  Unholy DK are a top end dps spec/class that delivers everything it promised.  Tons of AoE opportunities are available, and Unholy played out exactly like I imagined it would.  I made some mistakes, lol Frost Presence dps…  >.<  But it was a good run!!

And for those wondering, “What spec did he use?”  Here ya go: 17/0/54  I might change it up a lil bit later on, like getting rid of Desecration (lag issues/raid complaints about obscuring boss effects on ground), but we’ll see.

So lets get into the screenshots.  I gots lots of ‘em!!

Please note: Click on all pictures to see the larger version of them.  This will make it far easier to read the recount displays of damage and dps done.

First off my stats.  What did I get up to with what kind of gear?

1. 4461 AP
2. 5 Expertise (15 skill shy of cap)
3. 31.51% Crit
4. 260 Hit Rating (about 1% shy of cap)
5. The rest…well, we forgot to SS the haste, Armor Pen, etc…  >.<
6. But!!  Those stats are low as we avoided them!!

So how did I get there?  All blue gear gotten from just random Heroics and quests from leveling up, the Ebon Hand revered weapon, Runeblade of Demonstable Power, the Dalaran 8k gold DPS ring, and 2 JC only trinkets.  I have only one epic, the Spiked Titansteel Helm which I had crafted for me.  I also won nothing that night.  Bad luck on drops, what can I say.  BUT, on the upside, we geared our tanks nicely which is far more important to progression.

4461 AP

Everyone knows how I go on about Unholy AoE being awesome…  So with those stats in mind, how much dps can I do as Unholy?  Well I know there was at least one fight where I broke 6k dps…but I messed up the pic somehow.  However I do have this one, of 5k dps!!  AoE pack style… 

5k AoE DPS

Here is the Overall DPS for the raid:

Naxx10 - Overall

Here is the Naxx10 DPS for me with my pets dps (not merged) broken down for you overall:

Overall DPS with Pets not merged

If you’re having trouble reading it, let me put it to you like this.  88% of my damage was me.  5% of my damage was my gargoyle (which was only ever used on bosses), which was regularly killed pre-emptively due to AoE damage, or something forcing me to run instead of generating RP.  And 7% of my overall damage was from my ghouls.

Ghouls did about an average of 250dps in a 10 man, and Gargoyles did about an average of 830 dps on a boss.

And here is my Overall DPS with pets not merged into my numbers:

Overall DPS w/pets merged

And lastly, SS spam.  Several bosses and the dps done there.  Check out the first one however… I LOLNEWBEDITUPROFL!!!  I dps’d in Frost Presence after a snafu in the previous fight that lead to a wipe…  I forgot to swap back.  However, it made me feel better afterwards, because on the previous attempts I was number 1 for damage done each time and it was bothering me how I dropped so much on the kill after, heh.

4 Horsemen - Frost presence lol

Naxx10 - Gothik

Naxx10 - Grand Widow

Naxx10 - Grobbulus

Naxx10 - Maexxna

Naxx10 - Patchwerk

Naxx10 - Razuvious

“OK, OK, OK, quit tooting your horn already!!”

Well, actually I’m not.  I posted the good and the bad fights here, and I’ve got more to share with you guys.  This is all up here now for you to get an overall view of how these fights went.  We cleared Spider Wing, Death Knight Wing, and the first half of the Abomination Wing.  No records here, but it’s a solid start at a look of what Unholy DK’s bring to the DPS table.

Coming soon, I’m going to talk to you about the pet dps, the damage they deal, how to do the kind of AoE damage that I do, little tricks I’ve leared, rotations, and more.  I hope you’ve enjoyed these SS’s and these posts.  I’ve been having a blast in there.  Tomorrow night we go back in, and if all goes well I’ll have another post up tomorrow after work or the raid with more details!!

So I’ll leave you with this…

One of our healers died 3 times to the slimes tonight.  If you don’t know what I mean, there is this one corridor where these random slimes run accross the path in front of you.  If you get too close to one, they go BOOM!!!!!  And you die.  Do not pass go.  You’re dead.  It’s kind of like the old game Frogger.  Run down the street and don’t let anything hit you. 

So we’re running near him (the healer) and we decide to pull ahead.  Cause we learned tonight about collateral damage.  The previous wipe, we were running through with our Ghoul out.  And one of the rogues was right behind us and Ratchewer.  Well, good old Ratchewer…the bright lad that he is…thought the slime would look pretty in his eyesockets and went for a looksee as I ran past safely.  BOOM!!!

Rogue: “OH WTF MAN?!!?!  YOU’RE $%^&’ING GHOUL GOT ME KILLED!!!”

SJ: “LOL THAT WAS AWESOME!!!  I’m sorry…snicker…I mean…rofl…that was wrong…lmao!!”

We’re not saying we did it on purpose or anything…  o.o  But if you were ever down there…and you’re ghoul took a mistep next to someone else…  Heh, heh, heh!!

So like I was saying, we run away from the healer…and we stop and turn around.  Because at this point, I’m thinking this is gonna be good.  And he did not fail me.  5, 4, 3, 2, 1…..  BOOOOMMM!!!!!

I’m dying laughing in Vent trying to talk, barely getting it out how he died for a 4th time, and our whole raid is laughing their butts off.

Moral of the story?  Remember to have fun in raids and to “lol” over the stupid stuff.  Don’t call your friends newbs, or they may be doing the same to you when you dps a boss in Frost Presence…  >.<

Heya guys!!  Short and sweet today.  I’m going to Naxxramas 10 tonight!!  Did some more heroics.  Tanked them all as an Unholy Hybrid DPS/Tank build.  It worked out pretty well.  In fact some of our CD’s like Icebound Fort, AMS, and Army of the Dead made certain encounters rather easy.  Hard part was learning boss abilities in instances we had never even set foot in before, lol.

But, I spent all morning leveling up my JC skill, which is at 429 now, which is all I needs!!  Don’t care about capping it, that will happen eventually.  I’ve got some recipies from heroics now, and I’ve learned all I can from the trainer.  We’re set to go now.  Just gotta wait on the damn daily quests…  /sigh

I’m putting together the last of my mats for enchanting out my gear right now.  I already crafted 2 dps trinkets up, regemmed my gear, and got a few upgrades.  Inlcluding my very own Spiked Titansteel Helm!!!  Hoozah!!!  Cost me 1k gold total, not including the helm enchant/metagem.  I get these mats together for the enchants, and I can go to bed.

So, this evening I hit Naxx10 as Unholy DPS.  I’m gonna get some Recount pics up (hopefully I don’t suck), and see if someone has WWS running.  I, sadly, have never taken the time to get it running yet.  And need too… >.< 

I’ll tell you guys all about it later!!
