While we're on it, I've got another question to add to the list.
As a blood tank, would one need to pick up Death Rune Mastery? As
DPS it seems an obvious talent to grab because DS damage = HS
damage and DS = 2 runes while HS = 1 rune. I'm just not sure
whether you'd need it as blood - as long as you can hold aggro you
wouldn't need the extra death strikes, would you?
No I was talking in general Yes WotN and spell deflection are the
two mitigation talents in blood, but I was also comparing it to say
frost/unholy which have a lot more mitigation down the tree and it
seemed that I was doing something that is
wow
goldnothing but threat generation and self
healing... well I guess you could look at the self healing as a
mitigation alternative, healing myself where the mitigation talents
would reduce my damage, reducing the amount healers do either way.
I guess I can look at it that way.
As for the death rune mastery, the extra threat of doing lots of
heart strikes does help, especially when you have dps doing 7-8k
dps on a regular basis and 13-15k (we run 4-5 mages pulling this
too) on hodir hard mode, I need all the threat I can get. Threat
was the main reason I went blood for tanking in the first place. In
addition, I also want my tanking rotation to be really similar to
my dps one so that it is a comfortable switch, since I switch
wow gold
kaufenbetween the two all the time.
I could see your point with subversion, and if I were going to give
anything up for it, I'd give the bloodworms up for it but if I
don't need the threat from the extra crit from subversion, like...
if it didn't matter either way, bloodworms would end up better just
because of the extra self healing. So I'm gonna stick with this
spec until I start losing aggro, then I might drop the worms for
subversion.
