1. Death Knight Support

    Hey family,

    Long story short I don't do enough damage according to most, In fact, I have been kicked straight away when entering dungeons. I have followed guides for frost, I rotate on skills as the guides say and unfortunately I'm trying to get the right gear but its hard. My wife comes in and saves me, she's something like 4.2kGS and a warlock who does great with DPS so I get kicked less.

    I'm dual spec as well, the other spec is blood however i feel like that does less total dps per fight.
    I might add, I do great with tanking and holding aggro however, I need to get my DPS up.

    I also see a lot of lower GS Players doing a lot more damage than me too so, I'm just struggling to really grasp the specifics. Any advice?

    GS: 3987
    Melee:
    Dam: 422-562
    Speed: 0.99/1.17
    Power: 2294
    Hit Rating: 279
    Crit: 12.77%
    Expertise 10/10
    Str: 954

    Feel free to check my toon on Warmane.

  2. The rotation is one key factor, fail to do it and it's big DPS loss.

    Get yourself expertise capped (or as near as possible), hit cap (can go bit over the 8%), then haste and crit. You can pretty much ignore Arp at that gear level.
    Razorice to MH and Fallen Crusader to off-hand. Ofc the slower/bigger DMG weapon goes to MH, weaker to OH.

    Sure thing i have updated the original with a link. Thanks so much by the way.

  4. Well, with that gear, you aren't going to pull off any big numbers. Mainly because it's tank gear, and PvP gear, and a caster ring and trinkets.. Also wrong glyphs.

    Would also explain the instant kicks you're getting, if you queue up as a DPS.

    You need to either start getting DPS gear via reputation vendors, AH, premades. Alternatively you queue as tank and roll for tank gear. Greed for DPS gear.

    This is the holy bible you need to read (if you want to be FDK DPS): https://forum.warmane.com/showthread.php?t=349828
    Alternatively, FDK tank guide (since that's what you really are atm): https://forum.warmane.com/showthread.php?325582

    I've made some changes http://armory.warmane.com/character/...mourne/summary Thanks so much for your help im doing much better now.

  7. Replace the tank and PvP pieces (helm, neck, shoulders, chest, gloves, finger) with EoT gear and/or FARM FoS, PoS, HoR both normal and heroic. Farm ToC5 normal until you get the DPS trinket (arp+AP on proc). Do the heroic version aswell for a better weapon.

    No FoS PoS HoR for Frostmourne yet. So ToC 5 N/HC farm/spam.
