[Guide] - Gladiator Death Knight Tips/Tricks: PvP Basics

[@racketship3618]

Whoa this is crazy to see you playing wow

[@mbXtreme]

@deathschoice well in the keybinding section you can choose hotkeys for pet follow, attack, stay and so on =P

[@somaaree]

lol why is being recommended to me 11 years later , i needed this 11 years ago

[@yacuy3368]

11 years ago! That's a nice recommendation!

[@mbXtreme]

@Vietkour get your gargoyle on your main target, get some runemight, and then silence healer - spam scourge strike, use empowered runeweapon for more scourgestrike and if you have - corpse explotion.

[@mbXtreme]

@McLeitonis your pet has an action bar (as unholy) ... wich contains... attack, follow, gnaw and so on... all those things are keybinded with ctrl+1 or others. go to keybindings menu and look for this keybinds and change it to yours... ^^

[@mbXtreme]

@XxTylerHawk21xX arena yes, in bg you can play whatever you want

[@zyga7781]

I got this recommended, after 11 years... damn

[@mbXtreme]

@buurz the one that increases your deathcoil (forgot name and cba to login xD) and no, i dont use mouseovers, and i control my pet with my extra-mouse buttons (no macros, just keybindings)

[@mbXtreme]

@TyrannoXX03 1) was ich mich erinnern kann war siegel der virulenz das pve siegel und rachsüchtig is halt sau nice wegen den deathcoils 2) das kommt auf die comb an die du spielst... wie ich schon im video erwähnt habe hab ich tsg (pala warrior dk) gespielt, da muss mehr single target kommen, bei wl/dk/druid oder sowas spielste schon mit wandering plague aber da drückst das ganze team runter was nicht das ziel von tsg is :P

[@jomamma00007]

Thank you so much for making this video. I just rolled a dk and dinged 80, and only want to pvp, so this helps me a ton. Also your other videos are great, and your addons are cool too! Keep up the good work.

[@mbXtreme]

@screamingyourmom all IMPORTANT ones are shown in the video, the rest are trade chat spams and senseless things xD

[@mbXtreme]

@diablotor12 i told in the video that i use haste because of bryntroll

[@mbXtreme]

@mrjimmymaii haste because of Bryntoll, crit if you dont have a proc weapon. and you use DBW because of lucky 600 Strength proc, or haste is also nice if you have bryn

[@mbXtreme]

@Loki11913 Heroic Bryntroll is the best weapon for Unholy DK in Arena (except Shadowmourne)

[@mbXtreme]

@mas6291 no, i will make guides in cataclysm s9... its a waste of time to make pvp guides for 4.0.1 since everything will get changed anyways at cata launch

[@mbXtreme]

@EPiiCxPwn i would use Bryntroll :P but you could also take shadows edge

[@mbXtreme]

@SkywalkerTheDude if you would watch the video you could write em on your own :p

[@mbXtreme]

@mckdylan69 in cata yes. many things will change... and cata comes out soon, tahts why i dont make any more dk tips for WoTLK

[@mbXtreme]

@tamirdor you do alot more deathcoils then in pvp, you also dont always spam scourge strike, so you cant keep the buff up all the time.

[@mbXtreme]

@razercord i will not explain anything, play blood if you like it, if you dont reach anything then dont blame me ^^

[@mbXtreme]

this video was made about 2 years ago, back then that was the correct spec and i'm not familiar anymore with those old builds or talents (since i'm a retail player) but boneshield is just an awesome def ability and i dont understand your gargoyle question. ofcourse it does scale with your stats (if you release him with unholy presence he also gets the haste buff and shoots about 2-3 missiles more)

[@mbXtreme]

@joggingsbroek keybindings.... pet attack, pet follow and so on

[@mbXtreme]

@Skyprey this is a point where many ppl quarrel x) i have heroic bryntroll for Arena and thats why i use an aggressive spec (20% haste frost sub) and the str/haste gems. if you dont have bryntroll you should go str/crit ofc.

[@mbXtreme]

@localmadhouse not when you play Unholy, its mainly used with Frost

[@mbXtreme]

@blackmarketgaming yes, for the next 2 month or so, then im back on valacar.

[@mbXtreme]

@Lawdevo Take Pitbull4 for the Unit Frames (Portrait,...) and take a look at mbXtremeUI.

[@mbXtreme]

@Loki11913 the 600 STR Proc is the best you can get ingame ^^ if you use bryntroll, the haste proc is very nice aswell for weapon procs :p

[@mbXtreme]

@SamasaurGoesRaawr click on the button "Interface - mbXtremeUI" at the start...

[@mbXtreme]

@ShaunNova its hard to kill healers as DK, against Priests you have to get him out of Mana, against druids you go for the DPS and make a switch on druid when he has no hots up and kill him with Gargoyle, Strangulate, Petstun and so on, against shamans you go for him with all cooldowns to score a kill and palas are really hard... try to get him into bubble and then kill him with all available cooldowns you have and with the help of your m8. good luck =)

[@mbXtreme]

@pard992 it depends on your spec :P i doubt you would play blood in unholy presence ^^

[@mbXtreme]

@Freddy989lol1 this is a 3.3.5 guide (wotlk)

[@punkeren23]

Hey im just starting to pvp on my DK that i just lvled =) thanks for the vid! awesome, can you maybe make a arena vid of you playing ;) ? and btw whats your partner ?

[@mbXtreme]

@BountyOfChaos Would you happen to skill have the other parts of this series?

[@mbXtreme]

@WoWZexika wasnt oathbinder a polearm with agility? take Heroic Bryntroll or Glorenzelg =P depends on your stats aswell but you should get enough hit from the pvp gear so cryptmaker doesnt make sense aswell (i just barely remember those weapons but cryptmaker was with hit?)

[@mbXtreme]

@Superplasma1337 atm not... but i will be back before cataclysm starts =)

[@mbXtreme]

@MrChillercore Thats the Wrathful Deathknight Set (Season 8)

[@mbXtreme]

@cornfirecracker its not an addon, i just made a bar with big skills so you guys see what i'm doing ^^ i deleted that bar after i made the video ^^

[@mbXtreme]

@Schwoopy69 BEST: Shadowmourne 2nd: Heroic Bryntroll 3rd: other 277 weapons or T2 you are plate character, you dont need like 1,4k resilence like priests or whatever ;P yes, in my opinion the normal bryn is better than t1 weap :P

[@mbXtreme]

@KiLlErCaLlUm247 you still play wotlk or cataclysm :P? things changed... lichborne+selfheal is in, deathstrike is out

[@mbXtreme]

@Nando6535 i dont use auto cast leap (if there are hunter for scatter shots) and i never use gnaw on auto use... why? i use stun when i need it, simple.

[@mbXtreme]

@Icebloodd i am a retail wow player, so no spec... spec is shown in the video.. so? xD well could rebuild it

[@mbXtreme]

@mmcnnc everyone can do like he prefers. normally i use str/crit in yellow and str in red. but i try out str/haste because of my hc bryntroll (but i mentioned these things in the video aswell)

[@skellington1990]

Are you gunna be coming out with any similar 4.0.1 videos? Id be interested to hear your thoughts. Also I see youre using elkano buffbars but could you give some more insight on addons used and what settings you find useful. Ive been having trouble find an addon that will make strangulates and mind freezes easier by alerting me or things such as when a paladin bubbles. Thanks, awesome video

[@stressCSS]

u are the most skilled freaking player i have ever come across.. u think of some of the most advanced stuff bro

[@BountyOfChaos]

Would you happen to skill have the other parts of this series? My server is still on 3.3.5 and this is probably the best guide i've found so far...

[@mbXtreme]

@jeppepeppe44 no? i have all kinds of pve dk guides on my channel, and it doesnt matter if you have a troll or female goblin or whatever... all have the same gear setup ;P

[@mbXtreme]

@Nivomandasrail what was the name of it.... *trying to remember*... Enchant Cloak: Spell Piercing - Infinite Dust (15)

[@mbXtreme]

@NeziyobiTodeskrallen Fraps + Adobe Premiere Pro / AfterEffects

[@mbXtreme]

@MISREJ depends on your playstyle... more resilience or not - also depends on your team setup... i would take bryn :P

[@mbXtreme]

@ace4225 if i would care ~.~ there are songs i like and i put them in the vids. i dont think you watching the clip because of the music. turn it off and play your own music =P but then you have to imagine the text aswell.. nvm

[@mbXtreme]

@redreks1 ehhhm... what are you talking? noticed that this vid was in wrath of the lich king and now we have cataclysm and maaaany things changed?

[@mbXtreme]

@TheDark0Slayer tja die skillungen waren für wotlk und die seite hat auf cata geupdated, iwie logisch oder? :P

[@mbXtreme]

@TheAfredor in PvP you just need 5% -> you get that with ring or other stuff, if you lack a bit you can still reforge

[@mbXtreme]

@docker2k7 you are a melee plate character with nice defensive spells. NO need to gem Stamina. Also you gem STRENGTH and not ATTACKPOWER. why? strength increases the stats of your ghoul, attackpower doesnt. if you start gearing up, its a pain i know... 500 resilience or less in BG... *urgs* ^^ but you should still gem it correct with strength and strength/crit. like i said in the video you need 4x 25 spell penetration + the cloak enchant - the rest is strength and strength/Crit.

[@mbXtreme]

@eyonathDK i deleted all of em... i had 47 videos online, atm are 30 or something like that online :) there will come detailled ones in cata ^.^

[@mbXtreme]

@eyonathDK ofcourse, valacar@eredar EU

[@mbXtreme]

@pard992 DK has sick survivability if played correct, even more in Unholy (better magic shell, zone, sacrifice, silences and so on). on TSG your Warrior will be focus pretty often (atleast it was so on tournament realm and live realm) so why stacking endless resilience if not needed? like i said, str proc is best ingame, haste proc is pretty nice aswell (think on gargoyle haste buff on summon) and so on. for me its just THE trinket ;) others are good aswell, no doubt.

[@mbXtreme]

@Nivomandasrail yea its a deathknight ^^ atm i play with some RL friends on another Server but ill be back on Stormscale soon.

[@mbXtreme]

@Loki11913 ofc it procs nice, and you dmg + selfheal so why it should be bad? bryn hc is imo the 2nd best arena weapon for dk (1st would be shadowmourne)

[@mbXtreme]

@DodgeThis0991 Deathbringers Will (DBW) and Medaillon

[@mbXtreme]

@iGamingmember what are you talking?

[@mbXtreme]

@Loki11913 Valacar on Stormscale - migrated to alakir and now lilrey... :P?

[@Lawdevo]

Eh your ui looks superb mind telling me what addons you use? And what addon for the character portrait?

[@mbXtreme]

@TyrannoXX03 3) nein, ich erklär eh alles im video... versteh deine fragen echt net -.-

[@mbXtreme]

depends on what you like, i prefer haste, others prefer other stuff idk ^^

[@pard992]

@mbXtremeLive thanks for the answer was just wondering since the arp seems pretty useless for unholy pvp and the chance to get the str proc is only 33% so would u pick Death's choice HC over DBW if u had it ? or even WFS HC over dbw ? and one more question (getting annoying huh ?^^) Your resil seems rather low to me tbh in 3v3, isn'T DK the target to go for in a TSG mirror for example or when u face PHDk as TSG ? atleast i get dropped rather fast sometimes, doesn'T mean too much tho ^^

[@mbXtreme]

@docker2k7 the Chaotic one, 21 crit 3% higher crits

[@mbXtreme]

@executeazshara neee sry, ich müsst eig. noch so viele videos machen xD

[@mbXtreme]

@stressCSS Thank You! Always nice to read comments like this :)

[@mbXtreme]

expansion? that vid was back in Wrath of the Lich King

[@mbXtreme]

@ZuCo91SrBiJa ITS OUF WITH NIVAYA STYLE BUT YOU SHOULD TAKE PITBULL 4 MR CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK

[@mbXtreme]

@Sanzu89 43 Shadowfrostshards missing :[

[@Peruebi]

What addon you used to change your interface? Your addon it looks really useful and practical!

[@puredruid]

Oh also I love your accent, your Norwegian right? :P Its funny when you go to pronounce v's. In the video you said something like, 'You can buy it from a wendor'

[@mbXtreme]

@popperkk maybe you "hear" to slowly? XD

[@mbXtreme]

@TyrannoXX03 Bryntroll war damals die beste Waffe für DK, auser du hattest Shadowmourne oder LK25HC waffe :P

[@PappaTheo]

This video is amazing, it helped me alot with my DK! Thank you very much ! Please keep going with creating new movies :)

[@stephenbui490]

You played Wow. That sound great to come back

[@MrChillercore]

can you tel me which arena season do you wear in the video ?! sry for that nooic question but i paused playing wow a month ago now i saw the video and asked yself which pvp set is that guy wearing?!^^ and thanks for the well explained tipps i like your videos :D

[@Smeksigt1337]

Yo Mb, Love the vid. rlly helped me but I have a question. I am a human DK and I have every man for himself. Should I get the medalion for all of the resi or keep my trinkets? I am a hardcore raider so my trinkets are Death's Verdict (Death's Choice for horde) and Deathbringers Will. What should I do? :) Please awnser. Bai! xx

[@mbXtreme]

@Loki11913 with heroic bryn ye, love the procs :3

[@Vietkour]

Hey man, great video. I have a question though. How do you maximize damage in arenas? What skills do you use the most when you're going in for a kill or applying pressure? I have trouble killing or even pressuring healers or their dps partner (in 2s).

[@mbXtreme]

@tetrashiek Badges? ^^

[@mbXtreme]

@iRankx yes? xD

[@xChillaJoex]

Danke der Guide hat mir sehr geholfen aber könntest du zu den unholy Skillungen noch die BG fähige DW-Skillung mit glyphen und Präsenzen posten oder in der beschreibung einfügen? Danke schonma :) sehr gute arbeit

[@mbXtreme]

@jaymod420 what rating do you play? 1500? ever thought of missing icy chains? that it could ruin a game only because your support isnt working? you know that your interrupt can miss and stuff? jesus

[@mbXtreme]

@Smeksigt1337 use the 2 trinkets :P human are perfect for pvp since they have the medaillon as race skill :) double dps trinket, no doubt.

[@pard992]

2 things i want to ask, since i'm still playing on a 3.3.5 privat server i'm interested in your gear choice. Why did u use an agility cloak and not a strength one or the PvP one ? and 2nd How come u're using DBW ? wouldn'T be Death's Choice/Verdict be better for DK pvp or even Whispering Fanged Skull ?

[@mbXtreme]

its a retail server and that was back in wrath of the lich king lvl 80

[@mbXtreme]

@lolrogueplaya Dualwield is nice, i like to play Frost PvP in BG's aswell. but this is not a viable spec for Arena. :(

[@Winstead22]

Hi man... good basic guide, very instructive for me. Ty for that. I just dont know, where can i set my pet on Manual Control? Or, I dont understand how did u do that your pet followed your mouse when u clicked on target... when im going to do that same... my pet never swich on another target until he dont kill that first target... -.-" :D

[@xyyrjhao1542]

got this as a recommended video just now... nice XD

[@mbXtreme]

@joggingsbroek 3.3.5 is long time ago and outdated, so no?

[@McChevis]

You're great , all of your tutor have helped me so much :) Thanks bro :)

[@YasuniTV]

Here i am 12 years later due to youtube recomandation thnx (wish you luck on the next poe league next month)

[@Raceyygg]

Thx Orc was my first chose and Taurens next but i love taurens are they good for PvP?

[@cakiftw]

@mbXtremeLive what do you think, how will dk's do in arena in cata, and what spec you recommend?

[@mbXtreme]

on my action bar yea

[@mbXtreme]

@Loki11913 i like it :) like 4,5k dmg vs resilence ppl... nice to land a kill with a perfect silence/stun rotation :D but such a small radius... your pet has to stand really next to target.
