Also for what it's worth, I've been doing some parsing the whole day to see how the new talents compare, especially with the changes to Master of the Ghouls and Unholy Blight. Got some interesting results. Please note the parsings are done at level 61, because I'm trying to figure out what the best leveling build is, for my Death Knight guide. The results are interesting nonetheless.<BR/><BR/>Here's the <A HREF="http://jamewowpro.blogspot.com/2008/09/death-knight-leveling-talent-build_19.html" REL="nofollow">article</A>, feel free to come and discuss ;)<BR/><BR/>Jame - <A HREF="http://www.wow-pro.com" REL="nofollow">www.wow-pro.com</A>Jamehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09818852948765501817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863412955392305799.post-21915894082162632952008-09-19T06:53:00.000-06:002008-09-19T06:53:00.000-06:00Yeah, the problem was that by the time you reached...Yeah, the problem was that by the time you reached that center platform, your lock was at 50%.

It IS a DPS and a burst increase in unholy presence when kiting becomes a factor, because you're able to churn through diseases, yellow damage, strangulate, and defensive cooldowns quicker.<BR/><BR/>When rune and gcd throughput becomes a non factor in fights where mobility is non or very small factor, blood presence does more damage. You'd be hard pressed to find situations like this in pvp, though. And even then, you still don't have the movement speed, and you still don't have quicker gcd to react to things and get off emergency buttons as fast.

Not saying 23% isn't better, but figuring in 2% healing and it's down to a 21% difference. Still significant, but a far cry from 50% better.<BR/><BR/>I do agree that unholy will remain the best PvP presence unless you have a rediculous amount of haste on your personal pvp gear, which is also why blood will be the better PvE spec, but I'm sure everyone gets that by now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863412955392305799.post-86395078718442361272008-09-18T07:36:00.000-06:002008-09-18T07:36:00.000-06:00Just want to point out you've incorrectly listed u...Just want to point out you've incorrectly listed unholy presence as being 50% faster, which is mathmatically incorrect unless you meant to say that blood presence is 50% slower.<BR/><BR/>Spliting hairs I know, but if unholy was 50% faster (ie shorter duration GCD) then it would be .75 seconds.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863412955392305799.post-45051546250567785872008-09-17T21:09:00.000-06:002008-09-17T21:09:00.000-06:00How about if Unholy presence did 30% extra damage ...How about if Unholy presence did 30% extra damage on specials, instead of just 15% overall damage?
