Jade’s got two more videos up showcasing now the Frost and some more Blood Death Knight gameplay. Sorry it’s taken me so long to post these here but it’s been a bit time consuming working on some site upgrades that will hopefully go live this week (tomorrow if not tonight) and pretty much doing this solo means I’m my own QA team.

Here are the videos with some of the commentary.

Frost DK Burst + Control from Sam on Vimeo.

No. deep frost does not cater well to leveling on it’s own, as it does not have the self-sustainability required to chain pull, as blood or 17blood/xx unholy. To get the real juicy stuff in frost, you really have to go all the way down the tree, so this lends itself to an unfriendly talent tree for leveling and grinding.

This video shows just how incredibly frost burst can be, in addition to showing how wondefully useful hungering cold can be in a pinch. A very useful tactic for emergency freezes using hungering cold is to pop blood boil (consumes all diseases on all nearby targets, and forces said targets to attack the DK, then use hungering cold, so the disease damage won’t break the freeze.

This also works well in PvP, giving our “AOE taunt” pvp utility. It’s a very handy to erase diseases that could potentially screw up someones critical crowd control.

Blood DK Questing: from Sam on Vimeo.

Also, I got a little frustrated with the slower pace of frost grinding (which is really a spec for group situations, and not solo), so I respecced back to 56 points in blood and took out my aggression on a host of mobs in the bone wastes. I won’t say much more, but I think you’ll be very pleased with how DKs are performing.

Just how much ass can a Blood DK kick? Now that I’ve got some more talent points fleshed out, allow me to show you.

It’s really an epic feeling to simply chain pull non stop and plow anything that gets in your way.
