I haven't played DK in cata classic, but in og cata, I really enjoyed the scourge strike build. Necrotics are dope, but pumping numbers is just more fun, especially into BGs :)
Hey! Sorry, the paladin provides Kings I suppose in this case so you're still getting a pretty big return from having a pala with that comp (shaman is a bit vulnerable) - we might see shamans pop up more with that comp in full gear though as they will likely be more durable
dk hunter paladin is good because of might? wouldn't the paladin use kings in that comp because hunter has trueshot aura, which is the same attack power as might?
whats ur macro for necro strike? im having hard to finding out what to use as strike.. blood strike plague strike etc.. why cant i see oblitirate and rune stike on ur bars? u dont use it? sry im a noob
Why do you prioritize engi glove on use with proc trinket > badge for garg when badge gives more str for the snapshot and then you can use gloves on cd outside of garg for more throughput?
Hey, I mostly agree that you can min-max your snapshot window more - I just don't love the idea of getting much much lower value from gloves (and instead we're looking to have a bigger bump at the 55 sec mark with everything proccing again - where badge has 0 value until the 2 minute mark again). I think you drop engi once the helm isn't of use to you personally and then go badge
Am I going to get flamed if I go full damage and scourge strike instead of necrotic? I know you said you didn't look too deep into it, but if someone knows please tell me :). Nice guide!
Scourge build is really nice into mages it seems, necrotic feels better with ret from my experience though. If you're going healers often I think necrotic probably makes more sense too
@notmes Thank you for the reply! I tried SS for about a week, switched to necrotic today, and I'm not going back. Less damage ofc, but overall, the absorb alone is greater than the damage of SS. Or at least it seems that way to me
Amazing guide, thank you very much. Do you think it is worth lvling a DK to play Smokebomb with my IRL rogue friend? I have an 85 hunter, so choosing between Thug or Smokebomb cleave for ladder play? We are 2.4-glad xp. Thanks a ton, subbed.
Hey! I personally don't see enough night elves to justify 2% hit extra - I'm not really sure which classes have NE as their best. In a tournament situation maybe
@@notmes hunters are the scariest NE. Not sure if that would matter enough for the 2% extra tho. Also idk if their ratial even works against magic damage or if any other class has any sort of other hit modifier to spells or physical. According to avizura/mir/nahj all of whome I’ve asked why I need to get 7% hit on my rogue and they say night elf hunters is why.
An actual TH-cam video from the Lord Mes himself! What a day to be alive!
@notmes You don't use plaque strike anymore mate?
There is no words to explain the gratitude I feel right now after watching this video!
i just came back to wow, im looking forward to playing

thank you for the weakauras and introductive video!
Amazing indepth guide Mr.Mes! but a pastebin of your macros would of been awesome for us lazy folk.
Please make more of these going into the future.

What is this threatplates addon?
What a Mes-terpiece of content!
Great guide, Mes! On the comp part, hunter provides same buff as might, no? If so, dk/hunt/shaman should be best version?

hello, is it worth putting a second point in Ebon Plaguebringer for the 15% extra damages on diseases ?

Having trouble finding snapshot WA and necrotic stack WA. Any help guys?
Resolved, user error 😅
Is there a macro for pet leap and pet stun but for a focus target?
DKs are just op AF
Hey, I tried your Runes WA but it is stuck to the bottom left corner and I cant seem to move it. Any ideas?
Hey Mes, when you say "full gear" do you mean full S9 gear or something else?
Hi! Yeah was referring to full S9 gear

God your UI is just *chefs kiss* gonna steal the shit out of it.

Is getting extra hit for vs things like night elf racial (2% less hit chance on them) any good or no 5% is all we really need

@@sqwippysquishy5287 A rogue missing their CC abilities or big combo spenders is a bigger deal than a DK missing an occasional ability here and there.

What a legend
Thank you Lord Mes! Big fan as a dk main for many many years now
