They directly benefit from more DoT abilities and talents that empower them, such as a completely reworked male diction and a new powerful ability called Hunt and Death's embrace that further boosts their damage. They now have much better damage capabilities than just being a utility spec. The spec has seriously been revamped since TBC, so they have so many abilities. This is an excellent spec throughout all the Wotlk Classic phases. Unholy stays competitive throughout the expansion and finally outshines the Frost DK later in phase 4. They have Disease, which is excellent in AoE situations, although it takes a while to deal damage, unlike the Frost DK's Howling Blast. They are strong even in phase 1 because most of their damage is magic, which also bypasses armor. Many people overlook these and go for Frost DK at the start because it slightly edges at this stage, but they are by no means weak. They, however, remain a strong spec all through the expansion and are overshadowed by the Unholy death knight spec later on. Notice the ability deals with frost damage, which also bypasses armor.Īnother helpful ability they have is the Frost Strike which deals frost damage during a time with little armor penetration like in phase 1. A powerful AoE ability that sets them apart. This is because they have the Howling Blast, where they blast off a frigid wind, dealing 200+ frost damage to all enemies within 10 yards.
They are amazing in phase 1, bringing them to the top tier in DPS Ranking. And, of course, it's nature damage that goes through armor, which is why they are excellent early on. This increases damage by 5% but works only when there's a blood effect on the target.Īssassination rogues use mutilate to generate Combo Power and then use Envenom to apply poison damage instantly. As mentioned above, rogues do not need armor penetration as their main DPS comes from poison effect (Deadly Poison IX and Envenom), which will bypass the enemy's armor.Īlso, in raids, if you have no warriors or druids in your party, with Assassination rogues, to apply the bleed effect on your target, you'd have to use a growth or rupture yourself to apply a new talent called hunger for blood. Rogues received a powerful new AoE ability in Wrath called Fan of Knives, which instantly throws both weapons at different targets within 8-yards, causing 105% weapon damage with daggers and 70% damage with other weapons.
This also means that specs with low base damage like fury warriors and fire mages will be poor at the start (phase 1) but get stronger as they get the needed stats such as crit & armor penetration. However, they fall off as armor penetration becomes common. For example, since armor penetration is basically null in phase 1 gears, physical DPS spec that also deals magical damage like the assassination rogues are top tiers in this phase. In this phase, our equipment is at its weakest, which will significantly impact our rating. Also, private servers are irrelevant, which means unbuffed content and faster execution phases.
TS3 ICON BOT PACK PATCH
It's important to know that particular specs will shine in different fights.Īlso, note that this ranking covers specs and classes in the patch 3.3.5 state, the actual patch we are getting when Classic Wrath comes out. A certain spec might go up in a cleave fight, go up when they get set bonuses, or even better against people with bad gear. Therefore, when you look at the specs we put up for each tier, don't think they are entirely set in stone as they are quite fluid. This is because some different specs are gaining certain power spikes based usually on set bonuses or just gaining better stats.
TS3 ICON BOT PACK TRIAL
We'll evaluate specs based on every single phase of the game (Naxxramas, Ulduar, Trial of the Crusader, and the Icecrown Citadel). Although at the end of the day, you'll need all the other preparations like considering other specs, getting your WotLK Classic gold ready, etc. We are ranking based on pure raw damage and not considering the support they bring to a raid. We'll be evaluating some strong classes available for the upcoming expansion and as well explaining why we have them in their positions. Welcome to our Wrath of the Lich King DPS rankings guide.
