Death Knight is the RoaDK to Awesomeness

I never know how to start these articles of RoaDK so listen to the video above while you read today.

Another raiding weekend has passed and at least another boss was downed. While we didnt make a lot of progress in 25 man we gave several good attempts on Rotface and if we can clean up our kiting of the oozes then we can get him down. We gave a try or two on Festergut but still seems like a DPS race and we seem to be lacking there, for now anyway.

10 man had a lot more promise this week. We were able to finally get Rotface down. It was close, oh, so very close, with myself as the Big Ooze kiter I went down near the end of the fight due to the building of a second big ooze in my kite path. With me down and the big ooze going crazy with power we ended up killing Rotface but only with two or three people alive. This week I feel that we can get him down cleaner.

Since both Festergut and Rotface were down, their door valves were active and we were allowed to used these to open up Professor Putricide's door and enter his Laboratory of Horror and Fun.

On the way to his door we took down a couple respawns and trap trash. Standing there in front of the hallway, we watched as the doors filled with Festergut's gas and Rotface's slime causing the doors to open and we entered unsuspectingly into that hallway. I say unsuspectingly because the way was open with no trash but as soon as we stepped in the doors closed and in jumped Flesh-eating Insects! No tab targetting and having a hard time to mouse click them we just had to use AE damage to take them down. It wasn't that hard but a good surprise and of course some of the ladies in my group were kinda screaming. It was pretty funny.

We gave Prof. Putricide a good three tries before calling it for the night. We were unable to get him into second phase but we had a fun time and of course I was the sexy OT Abomination, eating away at that slime. Yum!

After 25 man ICC on Sunday our group went back and we gave him another 5 attempts and were able to get him into second phase. At one point we were almost at the third phase but didnt quite make it.

Some people had to go and we felt that getting a new person in and with only two attemps left, it would take too long for them to get adjusted and for us to teach them what they needed to do, so we decided to call it for the weekend.

Overall it was a great weekend.

Keep your eye out for the next article. I will be going over DK tanking strategies, which abilities to use for both AE tanking or Single-target tanking, and which abilities should always or never be used, this will include a good rotation for either spec. I will be placing emphasis on both Blood tanking and Frost tanking in particular and with a minor glancing of Unholy, since this spec is not one I research, so most of that info will be second hand. Enjoy your week!
