Magical Death Knight Build Questions [11.4]

[Khrone 648]

Considering these talents from the Death Face branch:

 

Lesser talents

 

  Knight's Curse+

Increases skill power gain from character's magical damage by 1.5 \ 3 \ 4.5%.

 Steel Hurricane+

Increases skill power gain from character's magical damage by 9%.

 Aura of Hatred+

Increases the effect of a skill that increases a character's physical and magical power by 2%.

 Exhalation of Darkness+

Increases skill power gain from character's magical damage by 2 \ 4 \ 6%.

 

Key class talents

 

 Damned Echo

Increases the duration of the effect of “Knight's Curse” skill by 12 sec. Now, during the effect, near the enemy every 3 sec. creates a cursed area for 3 sec. When the “Kiss of Death” effect ends prematurely, a zone is formed near the enemy with the duration remaining from the effect.

 Baptism of darkness

Increases the character's basic magical strength by 25% of the character's basic physical power.

 

What is the best build for Magical Damage?

 

We would have 3 extra skill points from all the Stellar Blessing talents, so we can get 1 more expert skill at 4/4, giving us 4 skills at max level.

 

Knight's Curse at 4/4 is the main focus of the Magical DK.

 

I've been thinking of using Aura of Hatred for several reasons:

• Besides the magical damage buff, there's also the physical damage buff, which indirectly increases magical damage due to the talent Baptism or Darkness.
• The defense buff, which i believe that increases the damage reduction of Dark Shield.
• The Accuracy buff because pretty much every DK skill can be dodged.

 

Now, i don't know if i should use Steel Hurricane because i think the damage is kinda underwhelming, even with the talent, and we already have Knight's Curse as an AoE damage skill.

 

So i've been thinking of using Sharp Shadow instead:

• High single-target magical damage.
• 100% Stun for 3.5 seconds.
• 20% HP heal with Saturation, even if the latter is 1/4.

 

Talking about it, i think Saturation would be helpful for a bit more of sustain.

 

So what do you guys think of the following build?

Knight's Curse - 4/4

Aura of Hatred - 4/4

Sharp Shadow - 4/4

 

With extra Skill Points:

Saturation - 4/4

Umm, lets keep quiet with DKs. No offense. The update is a game changer for DKs and well need. Let's wait until the update starts and finish.

Good suggestion! In my opinion if you want to make a hybird dk, the Vampiric Essence would be the best option!( I dont know if its gonna be good in pvp?)
