Thanks for uploading the shorter version, great tips 👍

@Mecton666 9 дней назад

Good content!! Do you cast Outbreak during DRW? I see a lot of top logs casting it right on pull. The sim do it too...

@Riyaniwow 8 дней назад

Sim APL is not optimized for damage, but I'm actually not sure if it's the best use of the spell or not. I currently use it during DRW, and it seems like that is worth, but I'm not 100% if it is or not.

@thephilosophersstoned3796 2 дня назад

The reason Haste>Mastery (up to 1450) is the amount of Death Strikes I do far exceeds the paltry ~30% increased bubble from going for Straight Mastery would give me. It's easy to overlook, but the base heal and the bubble both only apply when you Death Strike, since I Death Strike more liberally and freely, I'm getting more self sustained healing out. Because of the rapidity of reload on the Runes, I'm also able to just unleash hell in all of my offensive maneuvers, too. I don't have to keep anything in the tank(other than defensives of course) because the Runes are always a few seconds off from being Up again. Blood DK is not your standard tank, Blood DK requires a focus on OFFENSIVE capabilities to maximize Defensive. The harder we slam you, the harder we self heal. (I know Damage doesn't scale Healing, I'm saying I death strike MORE than you do, you'd need Firelands tier Mastery scaling to outpace me with this spec.)(And by then I'll have access to the same pieces meaning my itemization will be even MORE fluid than it currently is.)

How do you go about reforging/stat prio in this method?

@user-fl9pp4lu2i 8 дней назад

Hi Riyani thanks for this vid. Got one question on chimaron dk solo tank. Under the buff, dk can’t die with more than 10k shield I get that. But without the buff, how should I deal with the damage under 4 breaks. I could use all the cd and externals but what if they ran out? And then rng?

@Riyaniwow 8 дней назад

Hey bud-- the tank that tanks during the feud phase will also be the one with aggro going into the last phase, so he'll have fewer stacks. Before he dies you'll be able to stack up a full blood shield. Then just pop your CDs once you're tanking and hope the boss dies before you do.

@Kenneth91bauer 9 дней назад

Hey Riyani, thanks for another great video. :) I have a few questions, what talents would you use to buff up the damage in a 10 man setting? and would you mind share what your reforgelite values are for the haste build? I have cleared 13/13 HC, but I got the news about 4p DPS set a bit late, so I am running 4P tank set with DPS tier legs as the "off piece". So I dont feel in any danger of dying in raids, but as you and subtle talked about, tank dps matters - so I want to buff it up some more. Hope you are willing to share some insight :)

@Riyaniwow 8 дней назад

I'd keep a similar spec to the one we have in the beginning of the "irresponsible build" portion of the video granted someone else is bringing the attack power buff, if not, swap 2 points from toughness into abom's might. For Reforgelite just make sure you have hit and expertise at "at least" for cap and soft cap, then I have haste at 250 and mast at 160, but just make sure that haste is higher than mastery. They don't have a "minimal" value for haste, so just run with that, then if you have haste over 1430ish, then you can reforge that to mastery or more expertise (sim to see what brings the most value).

Hey thanks for the shortened video, what is the haste cap though? i am guessing it effects rune speed more than anything

@Riyaniwow 6 дней назад

There's no real "cap," but a number that a lot of people strive for is 1421 as it gives you 7.5 sec rune speed which lines up nicely with your global CDs.

@thephilosophersstoned3796 2 дня назад

@@Riyaniwow This is only partly accurate; there is a cap. Diminsihing returns exists and given current ilevel restraints 1400 should be roughly aimed at, 7.5 is the magic number, but being a little above or below it hardly impacts gameplay at all. Hit to Cap > Expertise to Soft Cap> Haste to 1400> Mastery=Stam> Everything else, even subsequent haste stacking.

@sanksen5763 7 дней назад

What a great video ! I am still not sure if my healers will like if I switch to haste, but let´s see :D May I ask 2 questions about the boss tips you gave? Maloriak: Do I need to use AMS before he spreads the debuff or can I use it, after I received it and it will cancel the debuff? And if before: when is the best timing, does he cast it? I have never seen that tbh. Chimareon: So I will just make sure to safe runes for 1 DS to use when he is using his double hit, correct? Normally it always should be a 10k shield if I am not wrong. And does the "Break" Debuff go away during the Feud phase? Or will I end the boss fight which a ton of these debuffs? I assume that this will make it impossible to heal me over 10k, does it? Thanks a lot (also for all the other guides) - it helps me as we new BDK a lot !!!

@Riyaniwow 6 дней назад

Thanks, bud! Haste doesn't necessarily make you take more damage unless you make big sacrifices to get that haste, so I'd give it a go and see how it feels. You can't AMS after the buff goes out as it only prevents application. You use it right before he does his knockback, but as long as you run with glyph of AMS you have a ton of leeway. And yes, just make sure you have the runes for a DS during double attack. You'll always have at least a 10k shield unless you have like literally no mastery. The Break stacks don't drop, but they cap at 4. You can survive quite long even with 4 stacks since the last phase you'll have literally all your cooldowns, but even so the off-tank will usually start tanking as you tend to push phase 2 from a feud phase.

@Van_Behlen 8 дней назад

Bro I dont get it. The other discords seems amazing, warlock, shaman in particular, etc. I head over assuming the Blood DK disc is the same...and assuming good faith, everyone over there is like talking mad shit on haste.

@willdevine8266 8 дней назад

@@Van_Behlen It's because the blood DK discord is much more geared toward your average/casual player. for a DK that is till progging half or more of the heroics, going mastery is likely going to be more beneficial. The DK discord position is basically "Haste is a way better dps stat than mastery, so if you arent dying go haste. if you're progging/dying then consider whether you want to trade some survivability for haste". 13/13 DKs have the luxury of way better gear, so you'll be sitting at a pretty comfortable blood shield (120%+) without having to focus on mastery. That's when haste becomes more valuable.

So far with the haste prio I've noticed BdKs are getting slapped. They are doing high dmg and healing but the damage taken is massive in my experience so far.

@JAlvarez1104 9 дней назад

That’s interesting. I’ve gone back over my heroic log for Magmaw on a similar length kill. With an only 1 ilvl increase and going from mastery to haste, I took less damage, healed for more and did significantly more damage. It’s definitely a faster play style with how much faster your runes regen so it does take a bit to get used to and not lose runes.

@Wulfenst 9 дней назад

They are both 13/13heroic main tanks, you do the math. They arent the average player here. They are fully geared in close to bis or have absolute bis. Your average joe BDK tank is going to get absolutely fucked with this setup especially if their group isnt full of pumpers.

@@Wulfenst I’ve experienced this myself. We are 4/13 heroic guild. But 150% blood shields then rio haste seems good… there’s a good balance here but ppl wanna live in extremes

@Riyaniwow 8 дней назад

I'm currently 368 ilvl with hit/exp cap, 1446 haste, 1593 mast. Content didn't feel very threatening in pre-raid gear either, but you know best what kind of damage intake you have in your raid and can make gearing choices based of that.

@@Riyaniwow Exactly why I wont do the haste setup just yet. Theres a big difference in tankiness between me and our offtank/tertiary tank who occasionally off tanks so sometimes I am taking the boss + some adds on like Halfus for example. I am looking forward to doing this setup though as I remember I think in Firelands haste started feeling really good.

@unmye 9 дней назад

what's snapshot ?

@Riyaniwow 8 дней назад

Snapshot is when you maximize your stats in order to use an ability which gains the benefit over it's entire duration. For example, the pet scales with strength and haste, so if you have lust, fallen crusader proc, strength pot, etc. when you pop your pet, then it'll keep those stat values for the entire 1 minute duration, even if the buffs fade on you.

@darodaredevil 9 дней назад

But more stam= more vengeance = more ap = higher dps and more healing from highest DS?

@JAlvarez1104 9 дней назад

No, the DS heal is still based on a percentage of the damage that you have taken in the last 5 secs. Gear upgrades will increase the damage of the strike but not the healing. Normally, getting more gear will actually decrease your DS heal simply because you become more tanky, take less damage and in turn heal yourself for less.

@willdevine8266 8 дней назад

@@JAlvarez1104 depends, the minimum heal is 7% of your max HP and ~40-50% of your DS will be minimum, so more hp does increase both the heal and the blood shield from those specific instances.

@Riyaniwow 8 дней назад

The conversation is haste vs mast-- I think both of us still gem stam and value it higher than either stat.
