Pandaria frost dk 2h or dw for pvp?

[Barika91]

question written in the title

also, could anybody link me a proper frost pvp guide?

[krzyt]

Well, I don't know about a guide, but I've tried dw and 2h and 2h deals a lot more damage on dummies.
I don't know if Threat of Thassarian is working correctly.
So I would go 2h.

well, i play 2h frost just for bg's time to time, you can see better crits than with unholy ofc , but surviving with it won't be that easy unless you got pocket heal.

Few months after moltdown I spent on MoP. I was more PvE than PvP player, but when there wasn't anything to do I tried PvP. For me it was like with DW I've had more fun, but those crits with 2h were insane so than i went for it.

As a 2hander you want to get as much crit as possible

As DW you want mastery

OK so you have two options, depending on your gear and your premade/RBG comp.

Grevious = 2h, end of story.
Prideful = Either, if you are a team who has a lot of burst damage (warrior/ret/destro/shaman) then go with DW and spec into Chillblains for the controled aoe slows and cleave pressure (stack Mastery). If you are in a sustained damage group (Spriest/Afflock/Mage/Hunter) then go with a 2H and be the burster who sits on the kill target, stack Crit and have the time of your life obliterating ****.

thx guys ::)
i know that unholy is harder to kill but i like frosts better :)
ill probably go with 2h since its viable with both grievous and prideful too, and i like big numbers lol
so what should i aim for after crit? is it 3%hit>6% exp>crit>haste>mastery? or 3%hit>6% exp>crit>mastery>haste?

im currently rolling with unholy blight,purgatory,asphixiate,conversion,remorseless winter, but i cant decide on th lvl 75 talent
asphyxiate and remorseless winter makes a rly good combo and conversion made me think im unkillable even on 372 ilvl, although idk if its that good of a talent or ppl who do bgs just suck but a 480k hp warri had a rly long time trying to kill me with 262k hp

and what offpieves should i get from vendor if i aim for 2h?

Depends on what rune management talent you are using and your proficiancy with your runes.
If you can handle them fine then go mastery, if you strggle and find yourself out of runes easily then go Haste.

As for talents.
Rolling Blood, Lichborne, Asphyxiate, Death Pact, Desecrated Ground is your ideal Frost Set up.

I play my FDk with a 2H. Also my reforging priority is Haste > Mastery > Crit, since Haste benefits me the most with faster melee and faster rune regeneration. Mastery is usefull for the frost damage boost of Hawling Blast and Frost Strikes and Since Killing Machine would proc more with more haste, you get even more Obliterate sure crits. Try always to use the Killing Machine procs for Obliterate and not for FS. Don't use all runes at once, save two for that KM +Oblit nuke, you can always spam Frost Strikes while you wait for rune regen. Fdk is one of the classes with healing reduction skills. Use necro strikes and Hawling Blast on healing classes instead of normal Obliterate, and use FSs for pressure.

I roll my FDK with a twohander as most people in this thread seem to. My stat priority is Mastery > Haste > Crit which so far has gotten me the best results overall, both on dummies and in bgs / arenas.
I used to be an avid Haste > Mastery player, but after lots of testing and fiddling around I've settled with the former as Frost Strikes just hit so much harder that way and my overall and sustained damage went up by a good bit.
