Next patch we will see Empower Rune weapon giving 50 rp as well as 1 of each rune.

Here are some nice burst combos I came up with using the spec above. All are in Unholy presence.

3 Strangulate - 30 BFFUU [5s silence + shadow dmg at end of 5s]
4 Obliterate - 40 FU
5 Obliterate - 50
6 Frost Strike - 0 [refresh/reapply frost fever]
- Empower Rune Weapon - 50 DFU [+50 rp and one of each rune]
7 Obliterate - 60 D
8 Frost Strike - 10 D [strangulate does dmg here]
- Blood Tap - 10 DD [not on GCD]
- Deathchill [instacrit]
9 Howling Blast - 20 [crit]

2 Plague Strike 20 BBFFU [disease]
- Mind Freeze [2nd disease, not on GCD]
3 Blood strike 30 BFFU
4 Strangulate 40 FFU [5s silence, does dmg at end of silence]

is it just me or does deathchill look like it got nerfed to something similar to cold blood? :confused:

Yeah, in the new talent preview it looks like deathchill is a cold blood that lasts 6 seconds w/ 2min cd.

ATM that does appear to be the case, cold blood obliterate is still a good finisher.

Get a killing machine proc, crit frost strike, then cold blood obliterate.

Nerfed but still usable.

unholy a bit more viable now that they have reduced crypt fever and blood caked blade to 3 points, also they are looking at where to put chillblains in the tree, hopefully they move it up =)

I'm going to miss D&D -> Obliterate crit -> Obliterate crit -> Death Coil :(

With unnormalized instants, my 3.9 speed 114 dps quest reward 2-h sword crits Obliterate for 5k.

5k, impressive

I had a 2800 obliterate crit at level 62 with one disease up and the starting quest sword. I am blood specced though so I had a 3 stack of bloody vengeance up.
