I feel no further comment is needed.
Blood DK’s are just wrong.
The hubby keeps trying to poke me into playing Touga as a blood DK. I don’t mind it for solo stuff, but 1. I hate tanking for groups and 2. I don’t wanna bother spending time getting tank gear when the next xpac is going to baseline the stats across gear anyway (ie: caster mail becomes agility mail when you switch from rest to enhancement, ect)
You can use haste/mastery DPS gear as a blood DK and it works pretty well, you just lose a bit of DPS from Riposte.
I knew mastery was pretty beast for blood DK’s, but is it to the point that you can completely and totally ignore dodge and parry?
Mastery is really good and generally preferred over dodge/parry given its dimishing returns and the fact that dodging and parrying relies on the RNG. Plus you can manually trigger blood shield to absorb incoming damage. I basically ignored dodge/parry through all of Tier 15 and did just fine. I’m actually paying attention to it in T16 just because dodge/parry gives me 75% of its rating as crit.
