I've been playing a lot with specs lately and I notice how a lot of dks spec pretty much the same. They ignore bladed armor and instead take 2/2 Endless winter and shuffel some points around in Sudden doom and Ebon plaguebringer like this:
(SPEC 1)
There's also quite a few dks that will spec into bladed armor but will have to drop Endless winter completely in order to maintain RoR. I tried playing without Endless winter but you will see that when you need that critical interrupt, you wont have the runic power for it even if you adjust your playstyle drasticly.
So I was thinking.. if you want to keep RoR but also get 3/3 bladed armor, what can you sacrifice to get at least 1 point Endless winter without losing (any) dmg? The obvious choise is Unholy blight.
The dispell protection might seem as a big loss at first, but I have played a lot without it and I can assure you people wont have the global cooldowns left to dispell your disease which you can re-apply pretty much instantly. The damage from unholy blight is also so redicilously low that you can just ignore that part(~100dmg/tick on resi targs)
(SPEC 2)TL;DR
From spec 1 to spec 2 you will lose 1/2 endless winter, 1 Ebonplague OR Suddendoom(whatever you prefer) and unholy blight. You will gain 3/3 bladed armor which is equal to around 700-900 AP or prolly even more with full cataclysmic.
All in all it wont change much in the big picture, but if you want to optimize your char then every little bit counts.
Lemme know what you think.
