so I've finally decided to play a death knight. I read the dps faq above, and have some of the basics. I know about getting the most diseases on a target. But I'm a bit confused after that.
The 2 things that confuse me the most are FU abilities and death runes. I don't understand runes at all come to think of it. Other than the 10 second c/d preventing you from using 3 in a quick sucession what's the real difference in what runes you are using? I don't get it. Do you need those runes active to use death strike? How can you tell if they are active? Actually it looks like it uses a rune, not requires one.
The main reason I ask is I took the talent death rune mastery, and don't know how to make use of this talent.
so should I do icy touch, plague strike, blood strike, then death strike (i'm only level 57 so far)? then death coil? that seems to be the best so far. But like I said, I don't understand what death runes do for me.
