Blood/Frost (44/27/0) by Jones

Im really considering this one of the better blood pvp specs, you gain so much utility. The blood talents are pretty basic for pvp, but the frost talents are what make everything mesh together so well.

The main talent that helps so much is endless winter, making it possible for a blood dk to effectively use his frost runes, adding 2 debuffs to the target and putting a disease up to help boost damage.

The filler talents also mesh with endless winter as well, having the increased range, procing icy talons, free obliterate crit.

The increased RP also helps when it comes to sudden doom ( deep in blood ), you end up being able to throw a lot of damage out from a full RP bar, as well as healing yourself with lichborne ( Id like to add that sudden doom procs are amazing to use on yourself with lichborne ).

I'd like to add that taking a point out of MoM isn't a bad idea if you run any cleave 3's or 5's and putting it into IIT for group haste. I've tried out this spec and compared it to my 51/11/9 blood spec running 3's with a War and Druid and have had decent results. EW is a killer talent, but ultimately I found the lacking CD on DnD and DG a little bit too much to pass up. Also DRW is king shit for killing holy pallies.

Great spec love it very much!
ShortyxJan 14, 2009 - 10:07 PM (HideShow)
Its probally the best blood spec you can have atm but personaly i can't stand sudden doom it rarely procs and isnt even that big i would rather get 5/5 bladed armor and 2 into the parry or butchery sides that its perfect
SlayedJan 15, 2009 - 2:54 PM (HideShow)
I would say go downt to Rune blade in Blood and just get Runic power mastery instead cause The rune blade Hitsbetter damage then a ghould and yet itcant Be attacked And if you keep your runic power up it lasts quite awhile hitting 1 - 4k
SkiazoJan 24, 2009 - 4:07 PM (HideShow)
is it possible to see a blood spec with runic power mastery?
SkiazoJan 24, 2009 - 4:56 PM (HideShow)
id also like to know what glyphs u use
NephiteJan 27, 2009 - 12:51 PM (HideShow)
i would say this spec is ight. if i were you i would get frost down to lichborn and anialation. put the rest into unholy to make your disease longer.

This spec has somewhat evolved from since this was first posted, shortyx is right in terms of sudden doom though which is why I follow a different spec nowdays.

I picked up Blood Aura for now just to test it out with the new patch, but the majority of the time I pick up 4/5 bladed barrier.

I don't really see the merit of having chill of the grave, and i have to disagree on the sudden doom procs because I seem to get a fair amount of procs. Also, what's the point of putting only 2 points in blade barrier? It wouldn't help that much and i would much rather put those 2 into butchery and lose chill. Also, since I run a double dps with a ret I go into bloodwors and blood aura and stay in frost presence since suravibility is key. This is the spec i use. http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=jfV0qI0IsfRtzAohg0kh btw i play diseaseless

Abominationn, you dont like Obliberate so much, do you. 0/3 in Anhiliation, you can make better speccs...
MedianApr 23, 2009 - 8:58 AM (HideShow)
I was thinking about a similar specc. But since Obliberate is nerfed -45% dmg in 3.1 I think u lose lot of dmg here. With a new 80s gear I made 4.5k crit with obliberate bfore the patch. Now it is down to 2.3k or what. I really think that now blood is dead. But before the patch this setup probably was amazing.

ok so im new to this arena's. Running a Blood DK/Holy pally combo. Were working on our strat and getting comfortable. I was thinking about this spec and glyphs http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#jcEMqI0IsbR0sszhg0phM:cza0MV Considering Obli seems to be the way regardless of the nerf and from what i have read so far that DRW can make or break a burst/burn down of a healer. Let me know what you think. and some holypalli/blood dk strats tips would be GREAT!!
GhørJun 22, 2009 - 12:54 AM (HideShow)
Senoj could you tell us what rotation are u using and what glyphs plz.
BrewtalityJun 23, 2009 - 1:15 PM (HideShow)
I was thinking the same thing about Sudden doom. I rarely ever procs and when it does, as mentioned above, doesn't really hit for much. So could you possibly add the point from sudden to doom to Spell deflection? i see that as a more beneficial ability.

When is this getting updated? 3.2 is around the corner and this is a pre-3.1 spec.....?

My Blood/Frost spec for Arena/BGs

http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#jciMqI0IsbRb0oZhg0tIMkoM

Macros
#showtooltip Lichborne
/cast Lichborne
/cast [target=player] Death Coil

#showtooltip
/script UIErrorsFrame:Hide()
/cast Heart Strike
/cast !Rune Strike
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear(); UIErrorsFrame:Show()

#showtooltip Obliterate
/run SetCVar("Sound_EnableSFX","0")
/cast Deathchill
/run SetCVar("Sound_EnableSFX","1")
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()
/cast Obliterate

Glyphs:
Major:
Chains of Ice - Along w/ talents completely replaces Icy Touch. Plus pvp gloves..
Obliterate - Along w/ the macro, makes Obliterate hit like a friggen truck.
Heart Strike - Cuz DG has a 30sec CD, lol

Minor:
Deaths Embrace - Makes the lich/DC heal macro more powerful. good clutch button
Horn of Winter - We dont really have alot of Minor options... do we...
Raise Dead - Can't afford to not have ur ghoul when u need it, even if u should keep urself stocked up on principle

This spec is for both Arena and BGs, i welcome feedback to my email

Alot of this is based off the standard pvp concept of whoever hits hardest, fastest wins. Were not 5 min boss fight types... we need to kill and kill fast.
