Death Knight spec options and Rotations in Patch 4.+

So i did play a DK early on when they were first released, and well it was the first toon that i actually hit the level cap with, then they were nerfed a bit. But now in patch 4.1 they are quite strong again in both PVP and PVE.

I have found a bit of stuff on them so i thought i would post it here, check it out.

Yes it has come to that time, where i have farmed all the battle grounds, done tol barad quite enough, made 10,000 gold from daily quests, and there isnt really that much else to do. I log in, do my 5 arena wins on the Hunter and the Priest, thats about 2 hours a week. Now what do i do? PvE? No Thanks, I found Sambas, Karoma and Loc’na(sp?) the other spirit beast.

I have about 20k in gold spread over my characters, nothing to buy really. I could level fishing again and cooking, but i can just buy the food from AH. So what is there to do apart from arenas? Nothing much really. I started leveling a few other characters that i have sitting around, and got all the heirloom gear, but it seems kinda pointless. I guess there comes a point when there isnt really that much else to do, i need to feel like im achieving something, which i guess is why they introduced the achievement system, but for some reason its just not the same as the feeling you get from leveling a toon. I usually top the DPS charts in BG’s as BM or Marks, its kinda fun but i dont need the honor points anymore, so whats the point.

And now there going to make honor even easier to farm? why? for alts? idk maybe its good. Recently i just started playing 1v1 on sc2, its kinda cool to play that again. Something different. I guess just keep playing arenas until next content update, least thats still fun.

Now im not sure if this is a great idea for SEO purposes, but if you have recently purged old posts from your wordpress database, or have changed the permalink structure and dont want your visitors to keep seeing the “no posts found” page or the “404 Error Page”.

WordPress supports the 404.php page. I just added the following lines between the header and the footer tags to redirect back to the home page.
