I need this. I’m feeling pretty lost on hunter right now 😂

[@blackbibletv]

Would love to see a Frost DK guide, a lot of people are mislead into playing Oblit based instead of Masterfrost, and I know your guide could help!

[@solidchaos01]

Love seeing you do some Cata content Sarthe!

[@Sarthetv]

let's go!! slow and steady!

[@shifterashtongue2684]

Bit cringe

[@fiklgop4113]

Hey thanks for this overview and breakdown. Most appreciated!

[@cripzbforebloddz1]

Did u link the weak auras?

[@memeconnoisseur3002]

THANK YOU IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@leonidasg2257]

Unholy is so smooth in cata. So excited to play.

[@warlockiii]

More Cata content please! For melee It would be nice to see Frost DK (how will it compare to Unholy?), Ret, and Arms!

[@lepergnome39]

Blight club discord is doing a ton of simulation and you can compare the output and what the rotation looks like. Cata balancing is pretty great so it shouldn't matter outside of high level speed runs etc

[@diegoguerrero7281]

Dk frost sucks

[@xxgamerxx6074]

Great in depth video thanks I appreciate it

[@joey2025]

Hey great video man! Whats the name of the weakaura you are using when hitting the target dummy in org for the runes and runic power looks clean

[@juliusgaza6788]

what WA is that scrolls your rotation?

[@byronsmith5718]

Hello sarthe awesome guide!! 🙂 Where may i find that weak aura you are using, it looks really handy!! 🙂

As always thanks !

[@fabianbiesmans1493]

Great video!

[@vicissitudes6066]

Hi Sarthe, thanks for another great video! Just wanna run one thing by you - I've heard some say that the Gargoyle snapshot has been reverted back to its original state, namely the mechanic that was present during Phase 1 of the WotLK Classic, where the Gargoyle maintains the AP and haste modifiers at the time it is cast instead of updating the modifiers constantly. Could you confirm this? Haven't been able to test this myself. Thanks a lot!

[@Dubtitles]

I have heard this too and read this on discord, I am popping cd's prior to gary, on pull i usually pop cd's once my pet has DT and I know I will be sending out Gary in a few seconds. But if anyone else can confirm the snapshot thing with gary please do because I am not confident.

[@lasertorsk9161]

Do surv hunter next please!! And would love a MM hunter pvp guide, maybe collab with someone? Therese is no good updated guides, ive scoured KZbin! Will probably be very popular!

[@Sarthetv]

Working on it Right now!

[@fgreinus]

I'd love a boss-by-boss guide where you talk about tips and ideas for melee/unholy for each individual fight.

[@alexelectricx]

Awesome guide you took my DPS in dungeons from 4.1 to 9.1k still got a lot to learn but thanks for the video bro!!

[@AdleDr]

Thanks for the guide, Sarthe! I have two questions: Should I snapshot my diseases with outbreak after my trinkets proc? Should I prioritise garg over dark transformation in the opener if my trinkets proc?

[@thegamecruw5545]

Any way how to find the WA youre using in the vid?

[@ethan3169]

I believe this is Luxthos WAs

[@BlackGriffin]

Great guide! I'd be curious to see a frost dk guide, especially if frost is better phase 1 or not. Would be interesting to know! Also if the play style of frost is good enough it might be worth it for me to go frost instead of unholy

[@darius_tg]

Congrats on 100k ,Get In there Sarthe

[@Sarthetv]

Hell ya Darius!! Let's go!

[@user-vi5px4zj9f]

what weak auras are you using to help with rotations? @sarthetv

[@opkokami4357]

Sarth, is there any rotation WA that you know of like back in the day?

[@ThunderKak]

Shadow priest next? :D keep it up man! I'll watch whatever you put out.

[@christianlimonguerrero2391]

When starting a fight how many times do I festering strike? Do I spam it until runes are death runes then scourge strike ?

[@azzido]

Started with my dk. Love that all abilities gets me some big numbers. So unlike morb, where it hardly did a thing.

[@Ruytoo]

Maybe I'm just reading the damage meters wrong but Scourge Strike doesn't appear to be critting as much as it should be. In my raid last night I noticed that all my other spells were critting right around what they were supposed to (around 20% with my current gear) however Scourge Strike was only critting between 6 to 7% on every fight. I went to the target dummy after raid to see if I was getting the same results not raid buffed and it was the same thing, Scourge Strike was critting significantly less than everything else. Is this working as intended? If not would love others to test and see if they are getting the same thing.

[@diegoguerrero7281]

Sarthe es mi pastor, con el nada me faltará

[@professorstatic6091]

What add-ons make your bars look like that

[@ryancraigdavis]

Frenzy does stack with lust but you don’t want to use them together because the real benefit of frenzy is the rune regen you get from it. Use lust with your first DT and then save frenzy for a second DT. Gargoyle is now GcD capped and you’ll be able to get to that cap without really any help so more important than using haste procs is using strength procs.

[@Ewhit-je3os]

Let’s see a rogue guide! I miss the classic sarthe guides!

[@jamie5mauser]

How do I get more runic power? Should I not prioritize getting my gargoyle out before dark transformation?

[@MrFuryz]

License to slay or tier gloves first valor buy?

[@MashayVony3579]

Make a Cata hunter guide next please! cant find a guide that explains things as well as you do :)

[@shad0wfaxx77]

yes please! rogue guide would be most helpful. Along with hunter! please and thank you

[@kristerskretting3601]

hey man what WA are you using ?

[@Hipp1062]

Alchemy is supposed to be on par with everything else as well, providing an extra 80 of primary stat or whatever stat your flask gives

[@Dessnaid]

Is Gary still snapshotted? (only str or haste aswell?) Or only affected by current stats?

[@Cizkolade]

ap/strength/crit. It does snapshot with haste as well, but it is gcd capped, it will only do 18 casts

[@rawgamertv599]

What's the best horde race in cata orc or troll?

[@Smoliv1212]

unsure if this will change but as of 5 hours before the expansion drops, heroism/bloodlust and unholy frenzy DO stack. if its worth or not, unsure without proper sims or testing

[@kingofbacardi]

Marks and sv hunter ? Thanks for the guide it was a great video ❤

[@pureBW]

Anyone know what aura that is he is using with the abilities scrolling by. Easily seen during the rotation portion of the video.

[@DouglasEduardo01]

How do I get weak auras similar to yours with the talents appearing next to the character?

[@Farfarawai]

so your opener ends on the ghoul transformation?

[@luiscedeno504]

Good explanation. Would like to see fire mage😊

[@culceaalexandrubogdan9181]

Sv hunter, Arms warrior will be nice to see some guides ❤

[@LoraxR34]

Let's get class guides for the other DKs at least, good vid

[@timtruntschnig8916]

Great Video. Maybe you can show some love for frost Deathknight. I love your UI and your Weak Auras, Hope you will show us the rotation Weak Aura again ? it was such a great tool. blees you. you would be my hero if u update the Rotation Addon from Fonsas and show Elvui Import String. :))

[@Rawrdeblarg]

Detailed opener would be dope!

[@joshuakenck9195]

Rule of thumb is to pop your garg once all strength procs begin and hopefully they have happened before your pre pot ends. Also trying to get your DT into that lust asap as it stomps. Strength>haste. Use unholy frenzy for the whole DT but if no lust at the beginning I guess use UF? Still figuring it out too. Of course I snapshot diseases after my Gary

[@Qruwe83]

Would be great to see a rogue guide.

[@thegamecruw5545]

Would love it if you could Share this WA i love this one alot The first one Btw the one at the Biggest Changed time stamp
