Gemming remains more or less how it always has. The one big, new curveball we've been thrown is the fact that hit gems are now blue. We have very available stock of WOW gold on most of the servers and we can deliver your WOW gold on the order in a short while. This is probably overall a win for DPS death knights, as it gives us a few more options to aim for gear bonuses without handicapping ourselves as much.
While it's still pretty early in the 4.0.1 game and therefore, it's not completely clear what stat weights are for every spec, the death knight community has still done enough math that we're relatively certain of the general order. With that in mind, let's look at every spec and figure out the best ways to regem and reforge.
Unholy's weights are more or less intuitive if you've been following the class changes through the Cataclysm beta. After that, we still get the most mileage from strength, but coming up very quickly behind that is haste. Thanks to the fact that haste now reduces our rune cooldowns, you'll find it blows away just about any other secondary stat you can get. Critical strike follows swiftly behind, thanks in large part to pets and diseases now taking advantage of it. Mastery and expertise more or less lag behind at dead last.
What these mean for reforging is that first, you'll want to make sure your hit is at the usual 8 percent. Hit up to the spell hit cap is somewhat superfluous still, so if you have any hit percentage above 8 percent, it's probably worth it to reforge it away. That is the most easy and fast way to buy cheap WOW gold in the world. Haste is your next target. If you can reforge excess hit, expertise or critical strike rating into haste, you should probably do so.
