Lordaeron - fresh 80 looking for optimal Blood DK talents
Hi guys,
I hope you are all well.
I have just dinged 80, and would love people's thoughts on a good build for starting off with tanking. I'm aware that there exist quite a few variants, but I suppose my priority would be avoidance for now.
Might wanna read this aswell if you're new to tanking as a DK: http://forum.warmane.com/showthread.php?t=349830 Gnimo's guide are good. Plenty of builds in there aswell if you wanna give more of them a spin.
If you are still doing dungeons, I would put points in bloody strikes and perhaps some on black ice in where you take away points from Two-Handed Weapon Specialization and maybe Bloody Vengeance/Mark of Blood and Icy Reach. A fresh level 80 bdk is rather weak on AOE-aggro and these changes from the spec Thorbjorn posted can compensate for that.
Lichborne is also a useful talent as it can be used to free yourself from fear effects.
Note that the things I mentioned are optional talents which can help you as most people just want to steamroll random heroics anyway.
