Unholy PVP weapon choices, need help.

Hi guys,

Quick question for experienced UH PvP players: What weapon would be considered PvP BiS in Ulduar tier? I have narrowed it down to:

Is it most obvious to go for the higher DPS output weapon? Only reason I am asking is the mace would really solve a lot of hit rating issues, which I will inevitably have to solve by socketing hit gems. Using the mace would also mean more flexible strength/resil options and not having the "dead" stat arpen on the sword.

Shadowmourne, if you're not using it you're doing it wrong. Only 150 coins :P

Edit: Ah **** you're a frostmourne pleb not icecrown. Ok ok so what you should do is use the highest DPS output weapon as you can.

5% hit
135 spellpen

then just get a ton of strength and high damaging weapons. Arpen affects 70% of unholy dk dps btw with scourge strike 100% affected by it.

Also you're in earlier patches so I'm not 100% certain on stat priorities. If scourge strike shadow damage can crit then that changes things.

Honestly, I would be surprised if I didn't get a response in this vein from the Icecrown master race :D

On a serious note, thanks for the answer.

None of these are BiS for pvp uh dk, those are pve wep...i would go for the rated pvp wep...

what would be the best choice for Presence? Unholy or Blood? even if ur DK Unholy?

I don't feel like a PvP weapon is the answer here. Especially when considering it's already hard to outdps some teams in arena without MS. I play with a disc priest and in 90% of the fights it's my priest that's being focused, making the resilience not that great of a stat on a weapon either.

As for presence, most people swear by unholy in most, if not all cases. I tried it, but blood feels better in every way, especially against healer teams. I run frost against double dps teams that I know will want to blow me up. Unholy is fun in BGs tho.

OK. op wanted to know wich one is better. obviously the sword is better for DPS, but that is only if you are hit capped, otherwise the mace is better.
and arp is not a dead stat for UH dks. arp will boost your dps alot since most of your dmg come from auto-attacks...

if i cant get Shadowmourne.... which weapon will be better for pvp?

Bryntroll, ofc, because proc deals shadow damage, amplificated by UDK's talents.
