• Why do you want to join Iron Edge?:
I want to join because i want to be able to do ICC25 each week not in a pug and with good people that are constantly improving their game play. I want to join specifically Iron Edge because you are top english speaking guild on wowprogress http://www.wowprogress.com/pve/eu/dunemaul and i also raided many times with guys from your guild in pugs/gdkp and once at LK 10 man

• More about me:
I am an adaptable person and i learn fast how to overcome ingame obstacles. I play well ( won't say more so i wont leave a smug cloud  ^^ ). I use tons of usefull addons ^^. I like good humor and a light atmosphere. Also would like to be an active tank in your main raids. I also started doing PvP a few weeks ago and i like it. Wanna make an arena team soon to gear up more.

2H Frost tank and blood dps?

both dead specs.

Gear looks fine.

Lacking a bit of experiance to the lvl Bteam raids.

Goodluck.

[Rambo]

Not sure what you mean by "dead specs" but if you mean that it is generally true and not having to do with current raid composition then it's not true. 

2H and DW for DK have both their advantages and disadvantages, 2H at same item level gives less threat but that is not a problem cause threat is more than enough. Besides the talent point spent on DW can be spent on something else.

And blood dk's do best single target sustained and burst dps out of the 3 specs and also give abomination's might buff to party.

What is experience needed for B team raiding that i'm lacking?

[Intrinsic]

Blood no longer does competitive dps, Unholy and Frost DW are pretty far infront atm.
As for tanking i was pretty much under the impression that Blood is the best spec for a tank, even if it is a bit crap for aoe.

Currently the a-raid are not looking for a tank and we have backup off-specs that can fill in if we miss one.

Good luck elsewhere or even the b-raid.

[Sertth]

bla bla.... 2H at same item level gives less threat but that is not a problem cause threat is more than enough. Besides the talent point spent on DW can be spent on something else.

What is experience needed for B team raiding that i'm lacking?

It should be self-explanatory.

[Abyiss]

i would say frost is fine for trash or add type bosses IE- dreamwalker. but you just cant beat Bloods defencive cooldowns.

plus with the 30% buff gives 30% more healing from death-strike and runetap. = FUCKING AMAZING.

And to go back to your question of experiance.

Braid are compleatly focusing on Sindy, all other bosses are on farm, (well Lady D keeps us on our toes still)

So your experiance for the other 9 bosses is rather 'Light'

But who knows maybe you've wiped on them 100 times and know the fights inside out.

but i would say changing both spec would be mandatory if you got accepted.

[Rambo]

@Intrinsic:
According to elitistjerks blood dps is better at sustained and single target than uh or frost. And i have a good rl friend that keeps saying uh is better at dps than blood but can't beat me at it although he is a very good player. The other 2 specs probably appear higher on charts cause they are easier to play.
Ok. Ty, b raid would be nice too. 

@Justa:
What do you mean?  As a tank 2 things are most important: not dieing and having agro when i should. And i have no problems with agro.

[Rambo]

@Abyiss:
Both specs work great for me so no need to change. I know all boss tactics except LK last phase. 

[Intrinsic]

Blood hasn't been better at single target than frost or uh for a while now.
As for charts, worldoflogs has frost as the highest ammount of players above a certain level of dps than the other 2 specs and it is by far the hardest spec to play (due to GoD).

[Kawe / Dave]

Is that Hei in your avatar? I approve of such a choice.

[Rambo]

Dunno who Hei is but i like the picture. ^^

[Destro]

The only way Blood DPS comes close to the other 2 specs is by Gemming for ARP and reaching the hard cap, which isnt even possible without DBW.

Even gemming fully for ARP you will still be 2k dps behind unholy and 3k behind frost.

[Destro]

Oh and frost DK tanks died out in Ulduar.

[Abyiss]

Both spec may do 'fine', but its not really optimal.

check out any DK worth his runes and every one will be blood.
