Are dk's able to heal himself with Lichborne + death coil ?
Me and a rogue was beating down on a dk, the resto druid was cc'ed (blind and cyclone) . that means he was cc'ed for 12 sec, how the ##*! can a unholy dk not die ? |

Its also worth noting a DK specced into Lichbourne has a huge deathstrike heal + shield, Blood Tap, Lichbourne + 3 x Death Coil heals which can be buffed with glyphs etc. Also you have Icebound Fortitude to reduce incoming damage.
Your only scratching the surface with Lichbourne |

What a load of bull.... not even close to the truth. bad troll... Deathstrike heal + shield = Blood spec = Tank and not viable for PvP since it has ZERO CC. & #***ty dmg. Rune Tap is blood spec = tank. Lichbourne has NOTHING to do with DeathStrike. - PERIOD! And yes Deathcoils can heal, and become glyphed to improve dmg/heal however this is being nerfed to the ground where DK's now wont have any viable means of selfheal. The Glyph for Deathstrike for 4.0.6 is made so PvP'er can heal but it sux cuz the dmg is so ridiculosly low that even if it heals 15% its still 2 runes it consumes with zero to little dmg and extremely high CD's from runes. Icebound Fortitude is 20% flat dmg reduction and its nice yes, but please shut up with the broccoli okey? All classes have mitigating abilities. |
sec. erm. *hits a gong* WRONGONGONGONGONGONGONGONGONGONGONG blood tap refreshes a blodo rune into a death rune. rune tap is blood spec. if you aren't blood tapping then your'e a bad. |

The Lichbourne heal seems fair enough to me. Blowing a 2 minute (I believe) cooldown and using around 120 Runic Power (Without the Glyph) to heal yourself back to full seems a reasonable trade off.
Although that could just me being overtly optimistic and I'm sure -someone- will take the time to tell me how horribly wrong I am, and that I am such a bad player with an irrelevant point. But anyway, my two coppers. |

sec. Yeah ofc i meant Rune tap.... youre absolutely right... but the person who wrote the stuff meant Rune tap aswell... But youre still right.. |
Haha. |
How about countering it instead? You got a rogue that can garrote silence and you as mage can blanket silence it. |
|
no, you cant heal yourself without LB and after the next patch the DC glyph aint no more, so you need to have full RP to heal max.
if i encounter a caster i do the green anti-magic shield thing and then heal myself, cos it regenerates a lot of RP. i think in next patch the self heal via DS will be buffed (?) if a mage and a rogue are beating down a DK for 12 sec and he still lives...aw |

Glad to see that people actually realise that being a blood dk in PvP is lame because you would be horribly op and also that blood does no damage as blood dk deals Phzsical Damage which means it is reduced by both armour and ressilience. Blood dk is PURELY PvE spec and whoever disagrees...you are wrong. Long live PvE! P.S. I do have a PvP char so i am not just some random PvE player shooting from belt guessing facts :)

You see what amuses me is that blood dk is not viable in PvP, when there's anything ranged in arena (i.e. mage like OP, or elemental shaman on some other thread). yes PvE hero like me can do 37k+ shields per strike, and heal like a restoration druid, but hum.. yeah.. well rogues and warriors are more mobile than me, hence I cant reach them if they dont want it and their ranged partner would get me killed within planned nuke-sequance. Blood is not viable anywhere else than than muppet show and dragonslaying. |
nice necro. also, blood is fine for flag carrier up to like 1800 I believe, as well as random WSG. Have farmed a truckload of rep over the weekend just doing that. |
Yes. Frost spec grants Lichborne, which makes you undead. Death Coil heals allied undead units. It's a cool thing to have, but a pain when another DK uses it. This is a spec that Frost Dk's should consider in PvP: (and Glyphs) http://www.wowhead.com/talent#jZGzRrfzRdbufzs:caM0qVMmz I find this an effective build for 85's. 2H weapons are also effective. I'm no master though. |
