I’ve been thinking of trying a Death Knight with Cadence, Reaping Strike, Necrotic Edge, Bone Harvest, Soul Harvest and Blight Fiend. Don’t know how well it would work though.
I’m by no means an expert at this game, I played very little before Ashes of Malmouth and only recently picked the game up again. My first character is a Death Knight on hardcore and I rolled a Purifier along side it. My plan is to do an act, then switch to my other character and do an act, ect.
My Death Knight has basically been done by me from scratch. Because it’s hardcore, 100% of my stat points are going towards Physique. I have yet to full understand the balance between cunning and spirit, personally because most skills seem to do spell damage and the goal would be eventually taking all my physical damage to magical damage, cunning seems like a wasted stat for my DK. I could be very wrong.
In any case end of my rant, my experience so far as a Death Knight to 24 has been eventually if you spread the points out too thin you lack damage on your 2h and lack damage on your pets. It seems good if I focus my points on skeletons and a few melee procs and I can face tank most bosses I’ve run into so far even with my 2 hander. Still I can’t help but feel if I focused 100% on pets or 100% on 2h damage I might be more effective.
I did respect for shits and giggles to a 2h build with cadence and the first two proc skills at the top of the necro tree, with the necro buff on the bottom. It’s beastly but I seem to clear much slower then when I had my points in skeletons.
I haven’t yet found a single build on the forums. Sad.
Been trying myself but I don’t find it particularly efficient so far.
