Runeforging is a profession-like ability for Death Knights. While it is used like other professions, you don't need to train it; you get new recipies like every few levels as class abilities. There are no skillpoints to train. A Death Knight can only change the runeforged enchant on his weapon at a Rune Forge (obviously). At the moment, you can find Rune Forges at least in Acherus and Shadow Vault in Icecrown.

A runeforged weapon cannot have an enchant other than the temporary enchants, such as sharpening stones. Luckily for Death Knights, the runeforging recipies scale with level and gear. Here's a list of the runeforging recipies and the level a Death Knight receives them.

55 - Rune of Cinderglacier
55 - Rune of Razorice
57 - Rune of Spellbreaking (Only for 1h weapons)
57 - Rune of Spellshattering (Only for 2h weapons)
60 - Rune of Lichbane
63 - Rune of Swordbreaking (Only for 1h weapons)
63 - Rune of Swordshattering (Only for 2h weapons)
70 - Rune of the Fallen Crusader
72 - Rune of the Nerubian Carapace (Only for 1h weapons)
72 - Rune of the Stoneskin Gargoyle (Only for 2h weapons)

So, if these enchants work on Misc. items your DK could perhaps, i dont know, make their fishing rod look cool as they fish?

Is Rune of Lichbane good to use if your Blood talent base?

I had it with Spellshattering and changed to Lichbane.

Im curious about other peoples experiences.

I went with lichbane at 61, because it seemed to net me the most benefit as full blood spec considering the attacks I use.

i got this on my Honed Voidaxe when i dinged 69 i were going to north, becuse of the high ammount of undead there :P

Kommentar von 221517

can anyone post a screen shot of this on a 1h weapon

Kommentar von rocky69

i guess this would be a good choice for naxx @ lvl 80 because almost all the mobs there are undead. amirite?

Kommentar von Talamare

This is by far the weakest runeforge, 4% damage is not noticeable neither is 2%, this will become a minuscule of your total dps, crusader, razor ice, cinderglacier will all hugely outperform it for their respective trees

Unfortunately, both Rune of Lichbane and Rune of Razorice work based on unmodified weapon damage, e.g. for a 3.4 speed weapon with 222 DPS each strike adds 2% x 3.4 x 222 = 15 damage, no matter if you're at 0 or 10000 AP, and no matter whether they proc off a glancing auto-attack or an Obliterate crit. To make matters worse, the extra damage cannot crit - so essentially, these enchants hardly scale at all, and are mediocre to begin with (apart from Razorice's debuff).

When patch 3.3 came out, this runechant is now very useful in the new ICC dungeons and raids, since we mostly and almost always fight the undead.

More extra dps coming right up!

I have to interject: What weapon enchants from enchanting scale with anything? Most of them are x amount of attack, x amount of spellpower, chance on hit to increase x by y for z seconds etc. DK enchants, however, increase your damage by a percent, increase the damage taken by an enemy by a percent while dealing % additional damage, or even healing you by a percent while increasing your attack/parry by a percent.

That said, this is probably one of the worst possible enchants for any given scenario. For example, whilst i wield Wreaking Battleaxe of Power my average melee swing hits for around 564 damage. Of that damage, Rune of Lichbane hits for about 17.5 additional fire damage on undead targets, and CANNOT crit (as stated by others).

Using some napkin math (based on some tests with my death knight)
Thus, using auto attack only on an undead with 8000hp, that would mean it would take roughly 13.76 swings to kill the undead target with rune of lichbane on my weapon. The breakdown would be:

~7759.2 from auto attacks
~ 240.8 fire damage from Rune of Lichbane
Thus, it would be dealing 240.8/8000 = .03 (3%) of the total damage.

This is assuming a completely unrealistic scenario in which you do not use any ranged attacks, any ghouls, any disease, cannot crit with your weapon, and are fighting only undead enemies for the additional 2% fire damage. Not only that, but this test is based on a level 72 death knight, and thus has far less attack power (and thus deals less damage) than any remotely geared level 80; as said before, this enchant gains NOTHING from additional attack power.

With every other death knight enchant scaling with GEAR as opposed to only weapon damage, this is by and large the worst enchant for almost every case. That said, this enchant DOES scale with haste (as haste does not affect weapon damage), so unholy presence would cause it to increase slightly. But it would still be the worst for dps out of the dps runeforging abilities available.

does it affect the actual Undead players?

Unfortunately, this runeforge is almost always inferior to other options. Once you hit 70, Fallen Crusader will always be better than any others for 2-handers, as the AP gained from the additional Strength will buff your strikes/spells as well as your auto-attacks. The small heal isn't awful either. Before then, you will very rarely be fighting undead mobs, so Razorice is more DpS. And, while I'm not a fan of Cinderglacier, it will probably be a higher DpS increase with the added perk of some nice burst damage.

For DWing, the reason you use Razorice on your off-hand is to buff your Frost spells/strikes. So the boost to them is way better than another 2% from your off-hand hits. Your main hand should still get Fallen Crusader. Strength is just an awesome stat for DKs.

If, however, you are going to spend a bunch of time in an area with a lot of Undead before getting Fallen Crusader, and don't mind going to change your RF, it would be best (though, if you are Frost, I'd still useRI (on both for DW).

The defensive RFs are okay, if you like playing defensively. But they won't give you the best exp/hour. Though, if you are still using the Signet of the Dark Brotherhood, the +4% Parry one will likely work out quite nicely. But if you plan to group (and not as a tank) you should go with RI or CG.

The best looking graphic exclusive to the worst Runeforge.. QQ

Odd fun fact about Rune Forging BoAs, you need to be a certain level to learn and cast a Runeforge, but any DK can use any Runeforge if it is availabe.
Ex: If you, like myself, are one of the odd few who have 2 Death Knights on a single server, you can send a BoA (Neugeschmiedeter Echtsilberchampion for example), to an upper level Death Knight (let's say 80), Runeforge it with Rune of Lichbane (or any other rune), then mail it ot your lower level Death knight (let's say 58), who will still be able to use it.

Why?

In WotLK, Runeforges required a certain level to use, however to allow them to be used on heirlooms it was made into an "actual" profession, and so Runeforges only require a 300 skill in Runeforging to use, similar to engineering goggles.
Since ALL Runeforges require 300 skill, and all Death Knights have 300/300 Runeforging, passing on Runeforges to a DK alt is possible.
