![]() ![]() Many persons use it for jewelery, and I myself have seen solid statues in this material of the late Emperor Augustus. This stone is of a very dark color, and sometimes transparent. ![]() "Among the various kinds of glass, we may also reckon Obsian glass, a substance very similar to the stone which Obsius discovered in Æthiopia. I gotta agree with Zanzubaa if you have the Bonegrinder Breastplate from Heroic Ahn'Kahet, or the Engraved Chestplate of Eck from Heroic Gun'Drak, let somebody else have the token.Golden Sheen Obsidian History Obsidian gets its English name from a mistranslation of Natural History by Pliny the Elder (the guy who died at Pompeii): And then, of course, there's the haste, which doesn't really help anything except melee swings (I can see why it would be helpful for Killing Machine builds, but I have no personal experience there.) So this set gives bonuses for an attack that only Unholies can use, and one that Unholies wouldn't want to use. And there's really no reason to talent for Obliterate if you can talent Scourge Strike instead. Unholy DK's don't really have a use for Obliterate without the necessary talents, Obliterate consumes the diseases that make up a large part of Unholy DPS. Blood- & Frost-heavy specs are totally viable for DPS builds, but the bonuses on this Tier-7 DPS set are skewed to favor Unholy.Īs an Unholy DK, I find this set rather unimpressive. Non-Unholy DKs might definitely want to second-think getting this if you have a good option. (scourge strike) For Frost or Unholy, the set bonuses are really incredible, but the real question is how much DPS are you losing in the first place by equipping all this haste gear? That really remains to be seen. The only saving grace of this chestpiece is it's eligibility for the set bonuses, which are virtually useless for Blood DKs given their focus on abilities that the Blood death knight cannot spam (obliterate) or will not have access to. Haste may keep this chestpiece relevant when hit capped, but not more relevant than, say, many blues you get from level 80 dungeons right now - such as the Breastplate from Novos the Summoner. Hit is a great filler stat because it's completely useless once you cap it, and it actually keeps the chestpiece and tier pieces as a gear option- it encourages us to think about our gear. ![]() Adding hit sounds like a good idea re: dps, but consider that at this point in progression hit capping is not something you should be having a problem with. Blizzard should have used a different filler stat. I could grant that blizzard was just trying to "keep dps stats spread out" and "keep dps from scaling too well", but I do imagine that mages would be a little miffed if all of their gear was loaded with mana per 5 secs instead of spelldamage and crit. (and armor pen is actually useful to blood DKs since they don't ignore armor on their attacks like frost does) Comment by 43915This chest is debatable in it's value.Įlitist-Jerks ranks DK stats (for frost - other specs will see slightly different numbers) as follows:Īs you can see, haste is the weakest of all the stats, being 25% weaker than the next weakest stat, armor penetration. ![]()
