Granted, the tuning does not look strong enough for regular use. [Rune of Hysteria] This runeforge provides a decent amount of mitigation throughput and a larger RP pool, with only a minor, and indirect, increase to EHP. The playstyle compared to the end of Shadowlands is completely different and focuses more on maintaining multiple buffs and there is a much heavier emphasis on rune and runic power management. With more targets, a few things change that affect mitigation. Meanwhile, many of the 10.1 tier set bonuses are haste-scaling, marginally increasing the value of haste as it allows for more buff uptime. Tank DPS. This is the best EHP option. These stats can also be provided by unique effects. Always: [Beacon to the Beyond]2.

Opting into more of these sources of damage, such as [Abomination Limb], [Soul Reaper], [Blooddrinker], [Bonestorm] or [Shattering Bone], will devalue hastes relative damage contribution. Also, since we are generally pooling RP for reserve [Death Strike]s, its worth noting that mastery and versatility are the only attributes increasing the effectiveness of each point of pooled RP, which is effectively our reserve health pool. Death Knights have access to unique enchants for their weapons called runeforges that are stronger than traditional weapon enchants. 2. What if we are taking high amounts of magic damage? It is to the point where it is hard to justify even as a weapon swap option. [Rune of the Stoneskin Gargoyle] is a reasonably efficient way to gain more EHP if you need it, and a case can be made for its situational use in mid-to-high level dungeons as a weapon swap option, specifically when burst damage deaths are the primary obstacle in certain dungeon segments as opposed to failures related to mitigation throughput (which should be rare in the current season). New Talent: Rising Light, Falling Night - Increases your damage and healing by 3% during the day. We evaluate each item by their Maximum Key and Popularity metrics. This is only applied once to abilities that naturally have leech, it does not affect raw self-healing, and it does not affect [Death Strike], [Blood Shield], [Mark of Blood], or [Bonestorm] healing. Furthermore, any option (item, talent, or otherwise) that reduces casts of [Heart Strike] and [Blood Boil] also looks relatively worse with the 10.1 tier set bonus, but, again, not seemingly to the extent to change any actual decision-making. Granted, the strength of this embellishment effect is based on our total number of gems. It will never backfire in M+. General Recommendation: [Resplendent Illimited Diamond] then ([Zen Malygite] or (alternative) [Zen Neltharite]). Secondary stats are also provided by several miscellaneous effects. FinalDodge=0.03+DodgeRating/24000/(DodgeRating/24000+1/0.94), (Final dodge % is reduced by 1.5% for each level the target is above the player). The current K value for M+ is 14742.80.

Granted, this tier set does add complications should you wish to use aura-cancelling macros to boost the effectiveness of [Umbilicus Eternus], since the current bug preventing some [Vampiric Strength] applications can sometimes make aura-cancelling unnecessary to gain the extra shield size, pre-existing [Umbilicus Eternus] shields can make it undesirable to macro an aura-cancel into your [Vampiric Blood] keybind, and aura-cancelling the shorter duration [Umbilicus Eternus] buffs requires more precise timing to create more shield potential than what is lost from the clipped duration. Armor and parry contribution are explained under their respective sections.

For M+, there are a small handful of trinkets we will be considering based on their overall performance in encounters against various amounts of targets and their accessibility. You can choose between more speed (a miscellaneous benefit) or more mitigation with leech. This tier set bonus can generally justify a combined item level drop of up to ~13 item levels assuming the other items in question do not have a tier set bonus of their own. 10.1 tier set bonuses are *roughly* comparable to the old 10.0 tier set bonuses if you are replacing tier with tier. (run in and pop rune weapon and spam heartstrike?). Diminished versions of mastery and vers still remain preferable to the bottom two stats, but the performance gap is noticeably smaller and the previously listed ilvl values do not assume diminished stats. Belt [Shadowed Belt Clasp] and [Nitro Boosts]. Strengths and Weaknesses Strengths For better or worse, the total package doesnt look overly appealing. Furthermore, primary stats account for a larger portion of an items damage contribution. Dodge Similar to Parry, Dodge is an attack avoidance stat.

Below is the list of runes you can choose from, and their respective stats: Gems Diamonds Ysemeralds Neltharite Alextraszite Malygite Nozdorite Death Coil healing increased by 75%. Wrist Enchant. That being said, youll generally find the following secondary stat priorities to be true in Mythic+ dungeon content when ONLY considering mitigation: Mitigation Only: Mastery > Versatility >= Haste >> Critical Strike, (Note: Talent and item choices can influence the relative value of secondary stats for mitigation). While all secondary stats are generally multipliers on the amount of damage being done, there are a few sources of damage that are not affected by haste. Additionally, buff and debuff effects related to runeforges instantly vanish when the related runeforge is unequipped. The two-piece bonus can justify a combined item level drop of up to ~13 item levels, while the four-piece bonus can justify a combined item level drop of up to an additional ~13 item levels over non-tier replacements.

First, there is a unique primary stat and secondary stat gem that you are allowed to only use one of which is generally going to be better than other options. As for the alternative trinkets, [Heart of Thunder] is a reasonably strong damage trinket, [Ominous Chromatic Essence] has a range of power levels depending on group synergy, both profession trinkets provide reasonable strong stat stick options, [Screaming Black Dragonscale] provides a lot of stats but suffers from the fact that it is providing the secondary stat with the least overall value, [Talisman of the Cragshaper] provides a good secondary stat and a solid absorb effect, and, in a pinch, [Mark of Dargrul] has a decent amount of raw damage potential. Cloak [Writ of Speed] or [Writ of Leech]Bracers [Devotion of Speed] or [Devotion of Leech]. A few damage sources are also not affected by mastery, such as unique damage effects on items. Boots [Plainsrunners Breeze] or [Watchers Loam]. The higher increased primary stats associated with Patch 10.1 gearing greatly benefited [Phial of the Tepid Versatility] at the expense of the other phial options, which made a once contested decision a lot more straightforward.

Compared to the cloak enchants from Shadowlands, the boot stamina enchant is providing a lot more stamina relative to its competing speed enchant this time around, so, while the speed cloak enchant was preferred previously by most players, theres a chance things change this time around with this more competitive stamina enchant. The main tradeoff between enchants in this slot is armor vs. stamina vs. a very small amount of versatility (with less strength than the other two options).

(Full explanations associated with each rule of thumb are provided at the end of the section), Unconditional (1): [Shadowflame-Tempered Armor Patch]Unconditional (2): [Shadowflame-Tempered Armor Patch]Optional Bonus Effect: [Alchemical Flavor Pocket], Overall: Versatility >= Mastery > Haste > Critical Strike. The same reasoning as the ring enchants applies here, though, with gems in particular, there are two different considerations. Any granted [Vampiric Blood] duration is added to any existing [Vampiric Blood] duration you may have. Weapon swaps can be made out of combat at no cost, so we can potentially weigh the merits of using certain runeforges pull by pull instead of dungeon by dungeon (if you have multiple comparable weapons to put different runeforges on, which isnt always going to be the case). You can also use it to keep track of your completed quests, recipes, mounts, companion pets, and titles! This is the best mitigation option. Parry probability is determined by the following formulas: RawStrParry=(Strength-Base Strength)/PRawStrParry=(Strength-2551)/75500, RawCritParry=CriticalStrike/DRawCritParry=CriticalStrike/24000, FinalParry=Base Strength/P+0.03+(RawStrParry+RawCritParry)/((RawStrParry+RawCritParry)*v+h)FinalParry=2551/75500+0.03+(RawStrParry+RawCritParry)/((RawStrParry+RawCritParry)*(1)+1/0.94), (Final parry % is reduced by 1.5% for each level the target is above the player.). However, it may still be justifiable in raid content given that [Seal of Diurnas Chosen] continues to see use in raid content. The result is that physical vs. magic damage taken in M+ should be consistent across the whole expansion. As such, there is not much reason to deviate from [Phial of the Tepid Versatility] at this time. Diminishing Returns: All secondary stats have multiple rating thresholds that reduce the effectiveness of additional rating for that specific secondary stat. Stamina This stat directly determines how much base health we have with the following formula: In some cases, our health is used to determine the damage and healing of some abilities. Furthermore, the embellished effect provides a secondary stat proc based on the element of the gems we are using. Blood. Rune of the Fallen Crusader. Two of the four secondary stats are present on most item slots by default, with a few exceptions. [Screaming Black Dragonscale] This trinket provides an overbudgeted amount of critical strike along with bonus leech through an effect that has haste scaling for one reason or another. For instance, proc-based EHP bonuses can still have significant value in M+ where trash pulls are often dangerous for their entire duration even if they arent controllable. Hoping for changes in dragonflight. [Rune of the Fallen Crusader] is one of the most efficient ways to increase damage relative to the other options (see the Build Modifications section for more details on this), enough so that it should be the standard pick and likely the strongest option overall in 10.0 if no weapon swaps are being used. As such, the overall secondary stat priority ends up looking like this: The following rules of thumb were developed when looking at generalized items with a 50/50 split on their secondary stat allocations; they are meant to provide general itemization rules that will be true a majority of the time, though it is not impossible to come up with specific circumstances that can justify larger or smaller item level differences than what is listed here particularly when comparing items that do not have 50/50 splits in their secondary stat allocation. At current tuning, the stamina option is the favorable option in all situations and the competition isnt particularly close. Furthermore, since our main form of mitigation is [Death Strike], which is on the global cooldown, higher amounts of haste can potentially allow us to [Death Strike] faster in response to damage (which gives enemy targets less time to kill us before we can react). Blood dk has always been my favorite, but I just hate how it plays right now. Properly executed, you can improve dungeon success with smart weapon swapping swapping over what you would gain by using any runeforge alone, though it *is* kind of a pain to do and the weapon requirements limit the strategy to a good extent. Blood Death Knight Tank; Blood Death Knight Tank Gear & Stat Priority for M+ (Dragonflight) . As has been the case since Legion for BDK, the influence of versatility, mastery, and haste on mitigation is expected to grow compared to primary stats and critical strike as we progress through the expansion for the following reasons: For example, here are graphs using Shadowlands statistics comparing armor scaling to the scaling of a single [Death Strike] (adjusted to account for haste allowing for more [Death Strike] casts) in a five target encounter with increasing levels of secondary stats. Best Enchants for Blood Death Knights In practice, these guidelines are largely down to how enchants do not compete over primary stats, merely secondaries. This is seemingly another case of a flat damage effect being tuned to be competitive for dps role specializations, which results in it being particularly strong for non-dps roles. All ability damage increased by 4%. This section is going to briefly review the contribution of various attributes, explain how they contribute to each performance measure relative to each other, and give general recommendations for gearing in item slots without unique effects. [Rune of Unending Thirst] While on-kill effects arent particularly useful in M+, the one unique benefit provided by this runeforge is its movement speed bonus. Blacksmithing Engineering Inscription Inscriptions Runes are buffs that you can apply to your weapons that lasts for 2 hours and persists through deaths. As for avoidance, most of the damage we take in Mythic+ dungeons is not AoE, so avoidance does not provide a significant amount of mitigation. On the other hand, the [Death Strike] healing curve from the combined effects of versatility, mastery, and haste has an increasing slope for a characteristic that, like armor, ultimately negates all incoming damage by a certain %. 1 %. The effect makes your food last twice as long and to persist through death, so, if you happen to be using a non-embellished crafted item, anyway, you may as well add this to it even if it isnt technically a power gain in many situations. EHP in this guide is generally referring to reliable EHP, which is either always available when you are taking damage from an attack or when it is 100% controllable like a defensive cooldown.
