Blood is the main raiding spec and healing Death Strikes are a powerful tool.<br /><br />As you said though, this spec isn't for hardcore progression raiding.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04636578098305341522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-75645739603147578822010-04-04T10:54:25.992-07:002010-04-04T10:54:25.992-07:00There's a reason you take Obliterate over Deat...There's a reason you take Obliterate over Death Strike. Normal Obliterate with 2 diseases does about as much damage as Improved Death Strike, and since you have Annihilation you don't lose the diseases when you Oblit. Second, you get 3% more crit from Subversion and 5 extra Runic Power from Chill of the Grave. Plus you save 2 talent points.<br /><br />As for Black Ice, that's an option, I suppose. It would improve Death Coils and diseases.<br /><br />As for talent synergy, this build sacrifices personal power in exchange for raid synergy. 10% AP and 20% melee haste are huge buffs, especially for melee classes. In 10-man content, giving those buffs to the DPS might be more important than maximizing the tank's damage.Rohanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09090769681887119989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-23232753091546987552010-04-04T00:23:15.302-07:002010-04-04T00:23:15.302-07:00I'm not a fan of hybrid builds, at least not f...I'm not a fan of hybrid builds, at least not for progression content. There's a few odd choices in this build: runic power mastery, you're probably better off putting the points into Black Ice for a little more threat.<br />Sudden Doom is an odd choice over Imp DS. Without points in Morbidity your DC's are going to be pretty weak.<br /><br />You are lacking a hard-hitting attack: both Obliterate and DS are untalented. At least getting Imp DS would give some solid self-healing.<br /><br />Hybrid builds tend to miss out on the talent synergy that a deep tree spec has. I'm paraphrasing Satorri from Tankspot here: with a deep tree spec your talents are no longer A+B+C, but rather AxBxC.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04636578098305341522noreply@blogger.com
