Rerolled my DK from Undead to Orc...so far, liking the Orc more than I thought I would.

As for which is better between Blood and Unholy...depends on what your intended role is and your play style, really. Kinda nice finally having a class where I'm not feeling nit-picked into a certain build spec.

I know what you mean. I loved playing my pally as ret but everybody I talked to said I had to switch once I hit (or before) 70 since ret (at that time) wasn't a good class for end-game content. Now that's been fixed obviously, but it definitely sucked until 3.0.

I haven't tried anything but blood, so I can't really compare, but blood does massive DPS and also has quite a few useful healing skills as well. I rarely go under 80% health while fighting multiple mobs simply because my combat heals me. I can mark a certain mob to heal for 4% of my max health every time it attacks, which is very useful for bosses in instances. I can spawn a second floating weapon that copies every attack I do for 10-20 seconds... It's all really useful and extremely fun.

This is my build: http://www.wowarmory.com/character-talents...mp;n=Katastrofi

I don't claim to be a master of talent builds or anything... I just went with whatever I thought sounded good and so far it's worked out pretty well. I took out the 63 elite rock flayer when I was only level 60, so that's got to stand for something :p

EDIT: And I'm actually 63... Forgot I leveled during Ramps last night.

Where'd you get that Blade of Misfortune? :huh:

Be sure to get the Greataxe of the Ebon Blade for your Orc Death Knight. Orcs have Axe Specialization as a racial passive.

It's a common blue BoE drop in HFP. By common I mean it's not exactly rare to get, but it's still a BoE blue, so I guess I've just had extremely good luck in getting it to drop 3 times for my two outland toons.

I may as well toss out some /2 spam here too!

After a long time of being in two progression guilds I have decided to start my own guild.

<Overachiever> is the name. My hope for this guild is to get a group of seasoned and dedicated members who wish to complete achievements. The theory behind it is that there are just too many achievements in the game that are likely impossible without the assistance of a guild. Such achievements include killing the opposing factions leaders, battleground achievements, and new and old world raids alike. So far the turnout has been mediocre and I am still looking for a group to found and officer my guild. I have had some significant inquiries however which leaves me feeling positive.

I know of at least one other poster on Neowin is on Twisting Nether but I would like to extend the offer to anyone who wishes to roll or transfer to our server to be a part of the guild.

Thanks for reading, :]

Random chest drop in Ramps. I was hoping for Hellreaver from the end chest, but this one's not bad. I might run Ramps again to get Hellreaver though.

EDIT: Actually, it appears Hellreaver isn't any better in the long run. Only 1 more strength but 1 less stam, and 20 less crit rating. Nevermind then :laugh:

Blade can last you till Northrend, but there's a quest axe that's better.

DING! 78. I am really supprised at myself.. I mean I had to go from 60 to 80 on this account, and haven't played NEARLY as much as I used to..But the leveling has been pretty easy, fast, and quite painless.. AC and Horde pretty much leave each other alone, or even help kill certain Elites, in order to speed the process up..

Ah, I see. I'll try my luck once I hit 62.

I was about to say! Haha. :laugh:

That reminds me, I should re-spec for Blood. I went Blood/Frost but I'd like to do some more damage.

The build I am using is this. With the gear on my DK, which was mostly farmed crap and quest rewards with my guy at low 70s, I was critting for around 2-2.5k regularly. Haven't bothered to really break it down, but it wasn't a problem for me to pull 3-5 equal-level mobs and put them down fast, while remaining at or above half health when I'm done. If blood worms proc, then I'm probably walking away fully healed.

As a combination of real world and the world of warcraft collides yet again, my exgirlfriend and I play together once again.

Details aside we are working things out after a bad break up a few months back. Overall consensus: we will be together again, soon.

Anyway, so we've been talking a lot lately and tonight I bought her WotLK. Kind of a corny, nerdy, belated Christmas gift, but you should have seen the excitement in her eyes, hahah.

Anyway, she's questing for now and I vowed to let her go it alone for unlike TBC I feel like Wrath's environment offers a much greater.. sense of awe as one is exploring. I wouldn't want to dull that down for her at all.

Now that's a gift. I don't think there's anything "nerdy" or "corny" about buying Wrath of the Lich King as a gift for someone. Personally, I'd say it's "in with the times" if that's how the saying goes. Almost everyone knows about World of Warcraft now. I'm sure many people have seen the "I'm so and so and I'm a [insert (race/class) here]" advertisements. It's 2009 (I almost typed 2008, haha) and MMOs are dominating the PC market. Let's face it, World of Warcraft alone rakes in hundreds of millions of dollars every month.

A friend of mine ran me through Hellfire Ramparts with 3 other people. It's so easy when you have an 80 Undead Mage wrecking the high level mobs. Anyway, the last boss dropped a Hellreaver and I won it after everyone rolled. I'm happy because I was hoping to get one. I've engraved it with rune of the lichbane and it's total pwnage. I was able to take out a 64 Retribution Pally on my 63 Deathknight with very little effort.

Cool. She looks a little young to me. Is she a friend of yours? Anyway, Recruit-A-Friend is quite literally FTW. I had a 63 Orc Hunter in no time. Currently, I have 2 other friends linked to my account who are levelling up pretty quickly. If both of them grant me levels, I can get another 60 character. That is of course if I can stack the levels they can grant me (30 each, I think).

What's the fastest way to level? I've been doing as many quests as possible on my 64 Deathknight and it's taking awhile. So far I've passed through Hellfire Peninsula and did nearly every quest there. Right now, I'm in Zangarmarsh questing my ass off. Either I'm losing patience with WoW or I'm one slow leveller.

I made over 1000 gold today from jewelcrafting. Buying all the ore, prospecting it and cutting it, and then reposting on the AH = fast cash. I had 144 auctions of gems up for a total of over 2000g. 30 sold so far.
