well, depends on what your going for, affliction is basicly a bunch of DoTs on your enemy and destruction is kinda a "Dark Mage" kinda gameplay. it depends on either how you wanna play in damage (DPS or DoT) or how you wanna kinda roleplay or something. Tyrant9 edit: it all depends how you play... affliction is great for damage over time spells which means great in pvp and I've played level 80 warlock and I love it in raids as well Demonology is great for leveling I wouldn't recommend it for raids or pvp cause it doesnt do enough damage in pvp and in raids the demons can take aggro from tank easily plus demons just get in the way most of the time. Destruction is ALOT of primary damage which is great in pvp but unless you have alot of threat reduction I don't recommend using it in dungeons cause it has very high threat

Depends if you want to PvP, Tank, or DpS and gaming style. Any of the three talent trees can easily be modified for any of those options but as a rule Blood is often DpS, Frost is Tank, and Unholy is PvP. None of that is set in stone and any tree may be used for any of the possible playing styles.

frost DW(dual wield) spec is the most viable spec at the moment(3.2.2patch) and the best tanking spec as well taking into account that u have good gear. if ur gear is not that great then for dps u should probably go blood and for pvp unholy. if ur gear is good then frost is the choice to make, but of course the rotations are not as simple in frost spec.

I've seen them all done before (yes, even Unholy). Most people prefer Frost for their tanking spec. I personally have done Blood before and have enjoyed it as well.

Either path you choose, just remember to use Frost Presence and defensive-based runeforges on your weapon. Hope this helps.

You can only make a good talent build depending on how you want to play.

Frost: Focus on AOE (area of effect) spells, allows lichdom and focuses on defense.

Unholy: Focus on your pet, speed, and magic defense.

Blood: Heals for damage done, Enhances weapon and increases threat made.

Blood. You're nearly invincible against regular monsters your level if you know your rotations.

How do you tank with Death Knight?

You will want to practice with friends before you do the real thing. The best way to do this is by going to holding threat over 1 healer and 1 dps (recommended a rogue, mage, or warrior) or 3 dps. To tank as a death knight, simply use blood pressense (I believe its blood now) and go blood spec. Death and Decay is your best pulling spell for groups, and Icy Touch is your best boss/single pull. Blood Boil is good to use, but not right away. Death Grip who is attacking the group. Using your pet will only add dps, so don't focus on your pet. Summon it during boss battles if you wish. PLEASE NOTE: I HAVE NOT PLAYED MY DEATH KNIGHT SINCE THE PATCH, I WAS A VERY GOOD TANK BEFORE IT AS A FROST SPEC. PLEASE NOTE: I HAVE PLAYED MY DEATH KNIGHT AND IT IS HARD TO TANK BUT I GOT USED TO IT, BUT YOU STILL SHOULD PRACTICE.


What is the best path to follow in wow as a warrior?

That depends on personal play style, whether you like PvP, or PvE, and whether you like tanking or dps'ing in PvE. Arms is good for pVp, and PvE has fury for it's best dps spec, but the tank spec should only be picked if you like Tanking in PvE.

What runeforges are best for a dps and tank dual speced death knight that dual wields two one handers?

Dual wielding as a tank will not really be viable once Cataclysm comes out as Blizzard is making the Blood talent tree THE tanking tree. You should probably use two different runeforges as sometimes the runeforges do not stack with each other.

What is the best dugeon spec for deathknights?

By far blood, it's very fun to tank, and doesn't require much skill. Tanks also get good dps, so you'll be up on the charts. Just remember if you're using the blood spec, that you need to do moves that cause aggro, or threat. Which would be: Death and Decay Runestrike Deathstrike When you're about to run up to a mob, lay down Death and Decay. If your aggro isn't good enough, and mobs start to flee and attack other players, pull them back with the aggro moves.

How do you play a death knight of World of Warcraft?

This site contains popular WOW Death Knight Builds and other resources on how to play a Death Knight. As you all know, Wrath of the Litch King(WotLK) expansion for World of Warcraft(WOW) and the new Death Knight class is now active. This class is a damage dealer / tank hybrid. The Death Knight class starts at level 55 and they unlockable if you have level 55+ character on that realm. You can only have one Death Knight per server. WOW Death Knights do not have shields but do have good avoidance and powerful anti magic protection that have them being used as the main tanks against magic attack based bosses in raids. Don't think that because they are not able to use a shield that they will not make effective tanks as they do make good tanks if geared, spec'd and played correctly. WOW Death Knights can dual wield or use 2-handed weapons. They use a unique rune system for their special skills so playing a Death Knight you will find you will be commonly be using combo rotations to maximize damage and agro. Also death knights gain runic power when using spells that use runs and this runic power can be used to cast spells such as death coil or Frost Strike. Death Knight talents are split into 3 different trees: Blood: Talents in this tree focus on weapons, armor, healing, and strikes. A great tree to use initialy for leveling because of healing/damage. Frost: Talents in this tree focus on armor, control, counters, and combos. Considered to be one of stongest trees for tanking but all trees can be used to tank. Unholy: Talents in this tree focus on spells, summons, diseases, and AOE. One of the highest damage dealing trees and allows for a perma-ghoul pet. more news , pls go to www.agamegold.com
