[PVP] If you wonder which weapon/trink to use, read this!
Seems like this sub forum is filled with teh same questions over and over again:
- What trinket for PvP?
- Which weapon for PvP?
Well it's been answered already, but if this could get sticky, would be awesome for newcomers too lazy to even search the forum.
Ok, now for the trinket.
Now for a start, you'r first trinket should always be Medallion unless you're human.
It's been agreed on that DV/DC HC is THE best trinket there is. This is due to two reasons:
- It's a STR proc, and as we know STR is teh best stat there is for a DK. I'm not gonna explain here why.
- Passive AP stat.
The best combination for a human would be DV/DC HC and DV/DC Normal.
Now in case you don't have DV/DC, the order for trinkets would be as follows:
STS HC > WFS HC > DBW HC.
Same goes for the non-HC versions:
STS > WFS > DBW
A few comments for those trinks:
- STS has a great AP proc, currently highest of them all. The problem is the Armor pen passive and that the AP proc itself is AP, so DV/DC is a win.
- WFS is sort of a STS but with less AP on the proc and crit passive. Crit isn't anything special for a DK, so it's better to opt in for the more AP STS provides.
- DBW is not a good trink for a DK. You have like 33% chance to get a monstrous Str proc. Haste is good for the Garg, crit isn't really that great tbh. DBW is just too unreliable, and when we take the Armor Pen passive in account... Well it's obvious this is a trinket for a Warr/Hunter or whatever.
Now for the weapon:
You have the choice of Bryntroll, Glorenzelg and Wrath. I won't talk about SM since it's a no-brainer.
- Bryntroll - This is a great weapon for Unholy and my personal favorite. The proc is the real power of the weapon since every melee strike (PS, BS, DS) can proc it and SS can even trigger the drain with both the shadow and physical portions of the strike! The drain scales with Ebon Plaguebringer, Black Ice and every talent which increases shadow/magic damage, since the proc is Shadow dmg itself.
The result is a very often-proccing weapon which heals you aswell. Probably the best part of the weapon is the fact that it adds up burst, which unholy dks lack anyway AND ignores armor, making it great vs Platers.
- Glorenzelg - Most str, biggest dps, highest crit, some expertise... It's the strongest PvE weapon. For PvP it really shines vs cloth and leather armor users, tho don't expect much vs Plate. This is sort of the offensive version of the wrath weapon.
- Wrath - It's a deff weapon, loads of resi and stamina, some crit and good dps. It's main downside is the AP instead of STR. For this weap you have two options - get it runeforged with the disarm reduction rune and use it when being pressured, then swap back to you'r PvE weapon; - When you're full of PvE items and lack resi.
IMO weapons go like this:
BT HC > Gloren HC > WF HC > BT > Gloren > WF
Well I hope this helps.
