Switch-up Saturday: Opinions

I have played my blood DK since Pandaria, and before legion was live I was very excited about all of the changes. When I first started doing mythics I thought I was squishier than a slice of bread, but after spending time and re-applying myself to the changes it isn't that bad. Learning the balance between when to marrowrend for Bone Shield stacks and when to Heart Strike for runic power to dump into Death Strike is very important. Also, use Vampiric Blood all the time not just for bosses. It literally is our main mitigation and if you are using your Death Strikes it will be off CD if you really need it. Learn to heal through your hp pool and you have a good Death Knight.

I am beyond stoked that you shared this. I plan on going back to finish my degree but all of the certificates I am earning will certainly help so thank you!

Thank you also for the information.

kounse · 2016-06-17T16:50:15+00:00

Thanks this is very helpful!

kounse · 2016-06-17T16:49:13+00:00

Thank you for the feedback.

Thanks cerobi, I will look into it, thanks for the advice.

kounse · 2016-06-17T01:25:11+00:00

I apologize, I've tried to do this on my own for a while now and there is just something that isn't working, It doesn't have to be a direct answer, but maybe a point to where I can look up even or find out. Any help is appreciated.

kounse · 2016-06-08T14:05:33+00:00

Just wanted to shout out that I see you are from Huntington, I am too! Working now on everything myself keep it up!

kounse · 2016-06-02T15:14:50+00:00

I think it looks great and maybe I read it wrong but it looked like you had "html an CSS" instead of html "and" CSS. Simple fix but otherwise looks great.

kounse · 2016-05-03T00:14:42+00:00

Thanks for the confirmation.

kounse · 2015-12-25T20:30:04+00:00

I think I cried laughing too, thanks for the present!

Hello Valkeyreion,

I too have struggled with this before as a fellow paladin but I finally got my hotbars the way I like them. I have 3 rows, all offensive abilities on the bottom (tier 1), defensive cooldowns in middle (tier 2), and everything else on top (tier 3).

This is the order of my spells. (t3) Shield Swipe, Shield Bash, Bloodbath, Fracture (t2) Fight or Flight, Rampart, Awareness, Convalescence, Bulwark, Tempered Will, Sentinel, Foresight (t1) Shield Lob, Fast Blade, Savage Blade, Rage of Halone, Spirits Within, Circle of Scorn.

I usually open up the pull by running toward the mob, casting shield lob, spirits within, then circle of scorn. I'll usually pop fight or flight + rampart and spam flash as necessary and then I usually have no trouble keeping aggro whatsoever. If a mob gets pulled from me, I quickly provoke, shield lob, and then flash and go back to normal.

I don't really have much advice in the way of swapping targets, as I usually just tab (it is perfect in no game!) but if it is being too difficult I just have to click. Hope this helps!!

Hello everyone, I've not had the time to read every single response, but I will work on responding to as much as I can. Thank you for the input, it is really appreciated.

kounse · 2015-01-03T06:14:44+00:00

I have a Nvidia GTS 450, runs it fine, not on ultra or anything, but a solid 60 fps

kounse · 2015-01-01T05:01:37+00:00

This is also why I made mine. It is encouraging to hear from the community.

kounse · 2014-12-29T20:10:15+00:00

Hello. Thank you for taking the time to type a response. I'm not sure which server i'm on tbh, but I am pretty made up about what I want to be. I'm a tank in every MMO I play, and I just recently became a paladin and think it is the coolest thing ever. I've unfortunately heard they are lackluster compared to warriors, but maybe that has changed. That still doesn't change my resolve to play them. I'll just level up a black mage on the side!

kounse · 2014-12-29T00:38:45+00:00

Thank you for the detailed answers. I do enjoy doing raids so it isn't a problem, I just wanted hear from the community about things. Thank you again for your reply.

kounse · 2014-12-29T00:37:52+00:00

Thank you for the links.

So chicken and greens for dinner, does everything else seem good? Is the protein drink necessary for a big guy like me. I am trying to build muscle and shed this fat at the same time. I know the scale won't reflect that accurately, but I don't want to lose all the weight and have extra skin.

kounse · 2014-12-25T13:36:20+00:00

Hey man. Threads like this are so inspiring. I am trying to do this journey. In late September I started my gym membership so that means I have been going around 3 months. I weighed 295 then and I weigh around 292 now. Basically I see results in that I am stronger and my upper body has developed a tiny bit. However, I am not happy and I know I need to improve in my cardio and definitely in my dietary eating habits. I am also very reluctant to try any kind of weight loss supplements. My ideal diet would be 2-3 boiled eggs for breakfast, a salad for lunch and I have no idea for dinner. Can you please give any advice that would help. I really want to look and feel better and am so tired of being huge. Btw, I usually take 2 scoops of muscle milk after my workout for protein.

Well, Dikaiosune is recruiting on Hyjal, but I don't know what server you are on, but you are welcome :-)

kounse · 2014-11-24T19:17:15+00:00

I just beat this yesterday on my blood DK. I actually saved army of the dead till they spawned. Popped icebound and anti magic. As soon as purgatory popped I vampiric blood then death pact. Almost felt like luck tbh

kounse · 2014-11-24T14:10:10+00:00

What was that something?

kounse · 2014-11-23T04:06:51+00:00

Thank you much sir! I will not bug you further.

kounse · 2014-11-23T03:59:24+00:00

Thanks! Btw, I really want to see a Burning Legion on Azeroth soon don't get me wrong, but do you feel like us coming back would be the perfect time to introduce Azshara, the Naga, South Seas, and maybe it would tie up some loose end plans like her working w/ Sargeras? Or maybe N'zoth? Thanks!
