WotLK DK PVP guide, please.

Hi, all.

I have never played a DK before and all the online guides are now for the latest version of WoW and no use to me.

I am wanting to go full PvP on this character and have already started getting my Furious gear. I doubt I will go much higher as I suck at arenas. I am moderately happy with my Blood talent tree, but am really stuck on what to gem.

My swing rate etc is so low that haste seems good.

However none of my gear has much Hit and I keep missing against better geared players, so maybe Hit would be better. Then again, do I get Hit as a side-effect of strength? If so then I will probably have enough Hit once I am fully geared.

Resilience is always nice too.

Crit seems a good option - if I don't have any Hit issues later.


Please could someone either point me at a guide or give me some ideas here, please. I was told that Frost was for tanking, so went blood, but I read elsewhere that Frost is burst and CC, and that sounds better for me. So I am open to changing.

Thanks in advance.

As blood your only option is to gem armor penn.
As frost you gem mostly str.
As Unholy you gem str after gemming spell pen cap, 135.
All of the gemming methods depend on what gear you actually have, if your missing hit get the wrath neck with hit instead of arp etc.

Thankyou very much.

I know this will sound like a dump question, but what is the hit cap?

Also, I have forgotten what expertise is. It has a cap too, right? What is the cap for that? Do I need expertise?

5% for pvp expertise isn't needed in pvp but it can help vs warr, rogue and feral.
