Post by: Maruden on August 10, 2009, 11:07:44 PM
Okay so i have been hard pressed trying to choose between Frost or Blood for dps as of right now and what is a good rotation for blood?
I have been doing icy touch scoruge strike death strike spam heart strike ive been doing about 2k+ i was wondering if there is a better rotation or if mine is fine. Thanks  ;D

That's about right for Blood. The issue is, is that blood is heavily reliant on gear. You wont see the big numbers until you get at least t7. If I can suggest, look into frost or unholy until you get some better gear. I know they nerffed unholy this patch, and please, someone chime in here and let me know if I'm wrong. I'll do some research and post back in a while.

If you are going for frost dps, you are almost forced into DW.  Dual wielding has a ton higher gear requirements than using a 2hander and it shows without proper weapons.  If you are hellbent on trying frost, get 2 slow weapons and I can help you out on rotations.  For starting to gear, unholy is actually a pretty nice spec to start with due to simplicity of the rotation and the buffs it provides.  Blood's rotation gets kind of tight when you start having to churn out the RP to clear some room.  It also is a very gear dependant spec on terms of damage.

I am not so sure on how good DW frost is at this moment, but unholy and blood are holding steady like they always do.  Blood, once you start to get more geared/buffs will probably scale better until you get 2 slow, heavy hitters to try out frost.  If you want help with rotations, look me up sometime, be glad to help.
