Frost Death Knight 7.1

Recommended Posts

Guest Llewllew

Are there any guidelines on secondary-stat break points yet for frost? I ask this because it's possible, with the right Baleful gear, to really heavily stack stats. My DW kit could have me sitting at 54.5 percent mastery, which seems like it's getting into the ludicrous zone.

As far as Baleful gear goes, and reciving a 2h instead of 1h weapons, it's still the same as rolling for bonus loot during MoP. You have a chance of getting a 2H sometimes, that's just how it is. All you can do is set your loot drops to Frost and hope for the best. Even if there was a 1h Baleful armament, you would still have the chance of a 2h Baleful armament dropping, so it wont change the rate of finding the weps.

While I do agree, getting a piece you can't use is a pain, it's been the same since then - Just like getting a piece of gear with incorrect stats, it's just a roll of the dice. In all honesty it's better to go for (and probably quicker than grinding Baleful weps) to get the items though different means. With a catch up cap you can obtain 700ilvl conq items, mythic dungeons, even the honor weps will sort you out in the process. Even grinding some raid finder would put you in a better position. Glhf.

Just figured I'd mention it.  On fights where you don't really use IBF and don't need an extra 5yd radius for BB, Glyph of Runic Power might be a DPS increase if there are a lot of movement impairing effects, for instance on Mannoroth. And for movement heavy fights with adds, Swift Death can be useful, although, generally speaking, you should be able to get more dps out of the other glyphs.

Why is it part of the rotation to wait for two Unholy runes to cast Obliterate?

You don't have to wait anymore with the nerfs to the tier, use Obliterate with your Unh runes for single target and use HB for cleave and aoe, Use Obliterate on 2 Unh runes  when cleave/aoe.

For single target you don't have to wait, for cleave/ aoe use Obliterate only when you`re about to cap the Unholy runes.

So on Icy Veins they are saying to put Rune of Fallen Crusader on the mainhand and Razorice on the offhand... and then on Simulationcraft it is saying to do the opposite?  What are you guys finding to be the most effective?  Also I am finding that the majority of my damage is coming from howling blasts and not frost strikes on single target encounters... Am I doing something wrong? (Looking at Simulationcraft 1H -Frost for 705 ilvl - Also keep in mind I do not have the full tier set ).

It really doesn't matter how you enchant them. Regarding the single target Frost Strike should be doing more dmg especially if you use it  with Killing Machine.

HI

 

This is probably a daft newbie question, but why is it preferable to proc KM on frost strike rather than obliterate?

 

Thanks

Because Frost Strikes hits harder and you want to use your runes preferably on HB unless you have Unholy runes. You can Obliterate with KM if you don't have Runic Power for FS.

Just to completely understand the Obliterate deal in DW....So I only OB when I have both Unholy runes, but I am only doing one OB? I am assuming so only one unholy run is down at any given time because of how rune regen works? I was waiting for 2 unholy runes and then doing 2 OBs, which was making zero sense to me....

Use Obliterate with your unholy runes  or when  KM procs but you don't have runic power for FS.

Don't have sims but considering nothing changed  for DW  you can probably go with  what you have listed.

The trinket bis list does not consider the Gronnoth War Horn heirloom trinket. I am trying to decide which would be a dps increase the heirloom trinket or Horn of screaming spirits(HC). Can anyone comment on this?

Hello guys, keep in mind that this guide is for pre-patch only and everything can change at any time. Also gear list right now isn't accurate, i'd try to put a *BiS* these days. Special thanks once again to TheQ, Mini from Midwinter, Bantesaurus from guild Enigma and the IRC Death Knight community of #Acherus for helping me out with the Frost guide.

      War Within Alpha should be just around the corner! When do we expect the latest expansion testing to start?
      If you've been keeping an eye on the World of Warcraft 2024 roadmap, you're likely excited about what's coming up! According to the roadmap, the War Within Alpha is expected to kick off sometime after Patch 10.2.6, which was released two weeks ago, and before the beginning of Season 4.

      Typically, a season lasts 22 weeks. Right now, we're in the 20th week of Season 3, with just about two weeks left. Let's break down the timeline:
      Season 3 Week 20: Week of March 26 Season 3 Week 21: Week of April 2 Season 3 Week 22: Week of April 9 Season 4 Week 1: Week of April 15 This schedule suggests that the War Within Alpha could potentially launch as early as next week or during the week of April 9.
      The most recent news from the War Within camp came on March 27, when Blizzard rolled out a fresh encrypted internal build on the WoW Dev CDN.

      Executive Producer Holly Longdale teased some upcoming experimental PvE-focused content that Blizzard will soon reveal to the community.
      It appears that Plunderstorm isn't the only new mode Blizzard plans to add to WoW this year.
      Holly Longdale today teased an upcoming PvE-oriented event that will soon be revealed to us. Holly might be talking about the "Timerunning Pandamonium," expected in Patch 10.2.7.
      (Source)
      Greetings Citizens of Azeroth,
      It’s been great seeing so many players taking the plunge into Plunderstorm and we’ve loved seeing all of the stories and feedback as this experimental event evolves. It will be exciting to see some of the community content creators going head-to-head as duos during the Plunderstorm Creator Royale on March 30!  This isn’t the end of the things we want to try in World of Warcraft, however, and we have more in store we can’t wait to show you.
      Dragonflight Season 4 is in route as testing begins on the PTR and we’ll have more news to share soon™ on the next experiment we have up our sleeves. We hope those of you who are looking for PvE focused content will enjoy what we’re planning, all while we continue to press forward on development of our next expansion for World of Warcraft— The War Within.
      We can’t wait to share with you all the many things the team has been hard at work on.
      With gratitude and excitement for what we’ll do together next,
      Holly Longdale
