So i’ve been working on power leveling my Death Knight / Druid pair and i’m finally almost to 80. I have about 200k to go on both which I will quickly finish up tonight.
I changed up the druid’s rotation a little after reading through the forums and her DPS went up significantly. Trash mobs I may have to work out a slightly different strategy because as with Vuur, you don’t have time for your full rotation and that cripples the dps. While in BC spamming Wrath was the way to go, Starfire is the new ‘IT’ spell. I’m not completely hit capped yet (still running around in greens) so Improved Faerie Fire is a must. Moonfire is great for pulling as the druid has a longer reach than the DK and the DK can easily taunt the mob off before it gets to the druid.
While leveling, I’m specced into Typhoon which is HUGE when the druid rips aggro because I’m being a lazy tank and i need to get them off me. I’m not so sure I will be using this in a raiding build but for leveling it’s pretty nice.
Mouse over healing has also saved my butt time and time again when I’m in a pry with other people. When I was using keybinds for everything there was too much target swapping while I was trying to tank/dps at the same time. It’s a lot easier to drop the DK in a fight, leave the boomkin back beat stuff up and pop out and heal while I continue my cast rotation on the DK.
Things I really need to work on:
1. Macros for trash Mobs – right now the IFF – IS – MF – Wrath – Starfire is too long, things are dead before i hit Starfire
What has been working better is IFF-MF-Starfire-Starfire-Wrath till dead
2. holding more aggro on the DK – I get lazy with my pulls and dont do everything to maximize threat – the druid can occasionally pull threat off as the DK still misses as her gear is still mostly greens with a few blues.
3. gear! Both are horribly undergeared and this really needs to be worked on. Once I hit 80 i can start bringing them to some other instances where they can gear up pretty quick./ Maybe even hit a heroic or 2 in the near future. The biggest annoyance here is running them both as DPS is harder to get groups. I get better luck going in as dps/heals and then i put out crappy dps since I’ve been gearing the DK to tank….
