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.

      Now's the perfect time to unlock your missing Plunderstorm rewards with doubled Renown gains until April 30th!
      (Source)
      Hoist the sails and batten the hatches; a Plundersurge begins this week with weekly maintenance!
      The Plunderstorm event is ending on April 30, but until then, pirating players can double the amount of Renown earned from all sources of Plunder by taking the Plundersurge. 
      Set Sail for the Plunderstorm
      Plunge into a challenging battle that earns excellent rewards for World of Warcraft® Modern and Classic progression realms. All you have to do is survive…and plunder. Can't seem to stay in the realm of the living? No problem. Plunderers still gain progression that helps unlock new rewards.
      Each match is 10-15 minutes long and has 60 players per match, with the winner being the last one standing. Level up and acquire new abilities and spells by killing creatures and enemies, looting chests, and avoiding the encroaching storm.
      A Pirate's Life for You
      The Arathi Highlands is the backdrop for this pirating adventure, and you'll have plenty of challenges to keep you busy.
      Prepare to Plunder
      Plunderstorm is perfect for pick-up and play! No expansion purchase is required, but a World of Warcraft Subscription or Game Time is needed to participate in a high-stakes, play-by-the-seat-your-pants match. This means that Classic players can also participate in a plethora of plundering fun by simply installing the modern (Live) World of Warcraft client:
      Launch the Battle.net desktop app. Click the World of Warcraft icon at the top. If the icon is missing, click on All Games and select the game from the list. On top of the Install button is a drop-down menu. Confirm that you wish to install World of Warcraft. Click Install. Once you’re in modern WoW:
      Select Plunderstorm2 from the World of Warcraft game menu to get into the action. Create a new, ready-to-play character—player characters are unique to this event. You don't need previous knowledge of races and classes to chart your course for mayhem. Choose between Solo or—to play with your Battle.net friends—make a group from the Plunderstorm character screen and select Duo. If queued for a Duo without a partner, you'll be automatically matched with one. You can also access chat, customize characters, and see the queue from the Character Select Screen. Action Bar and Abilities, Worthy Mates
      Discover lootable spells, abilities, and upgrades as you plunder treasure chests and defeat enemies. Upon picking up, spells and abilities are automatically added to your Action Bar, with two slots dedicated to offensive skills and two for utilities such as leaps, speed boosts, and crowd-control.
      Some abilities are more action-based and require good positioning and player targeting. Have fun discovering and experimenting with different combinations to find what works for you.
      Upgrades to Your Spells and Abilities
      Your spells and abilities can be upgraded by discovering higher-quality versions from treasure chests or finding the same ability elsewhere and stacking it to Rank 3 (epic). There are also plenty of plundering opportunities—various treasure chests with different rarities that harbor all types of abilities are stashed around the map. Always stay on the lookout for better loot and upgrades.
      Spectating Spectre
      Upon death, keep watching the match from the perspective of your teammates (if they're still alive) or other players, including their loadout.
      Rewards A-Plenty for Plundering Pirates
      Players can earn cosmetics, pets, titles, and mounts as they progress through the reward track. These include the majestic Polly Roger parrot mount, Bubbles the crab pet, swashbuckling cosmetics, 750 Trader's Tender from "Keg Leg's Crew" for use on the Trading Post, and more. 3 A victory is not required to claim the spoils of a well-fought fight.
      To view Renown and apply the Plunderstorm weapon and transmog customizations, change titles, or summon pets, swabbies can click on Da'kash Grimledger standing directly in front of the spawn point in the Plunderstorm lobby.
      Customization unlocks are simultaneously unlocked for Dragonflight characters and can be found in your Collection. Each Renown level unlock is noted in colored text under the reward name, whether the reward is for Dragonflight, Plunderstorm, or Classic.

      Check out our first look at MoP Remix coming in Patch 10.2.7!
      When Patch 10.2.7 goes live, you will be greeted by the following screen, informing you about the MoP Remix event and its objectives. There will be a button that lets you create your Timerunner (character).


      Similar to Plunderstorm, there will be an icon on the character screen for MoP Remix with the number of days remaining.

      Timerunners will be marked with a special icon next to their name on the character selection screen.

      When you first enter the game, you'll start with a short intro quest on the Timeless Shore. Your character will be affected with the Pandaria: Remix buff.

      The quest intro features a few unique quests before you start replaying MoP from the very beginning. It introduces you to Bronze, the event's currency used to buy items and upgrade gear.  
      Throughout your journey you will come across some very unique gear just like this cloak (Cloak of Infinite Potential) that permanently increases in power (Timerunner's Advantage).

      Your char will have access to two important Timerunning abilities.
      Extract Gem - Extract a gem from one of your socketed items. Unraveling Sands - Summon Unraveling Sands that transforms your unwanted items into Bronze. Gems offer a lot of customization in MoP Remix and you want to extract them with Extract Gem, because placing a new gem on top of a socketed one will make you lose it.
      If you come across unneeded gear, you can scrap it for Bronze with Unraveling Sands.

      Things seem to be stabilizing a little, at least at the very top, as our DK-Rogue trio remains solid this week. There's plenty of movement below that though, so let's dive in.
      Note: We are using Normalized scores instead of raw DPS for the Warcraft Logs rankings. The u.gg rankings at the bottom are raw DPS. Normalized scores take into account the outlier boss fights where certain specs could stack massive DPS (due to the nature of the fight, whether it's AoE spam or something else), which would then affect their overall score for the whole raid.
      Mythic
      Overall Damage 95th Percentile
      It seems we have a stable chart at the top, as the DK-Rogue sandwich is exactly where we left them last week! We do see a big mover right after that, however, as Elemental jumps three spots up into 4th, pushing Retribution down one. Fury remains stable in 6th, followed by Frost Mage, which gains a spot at the expense of Outlaw, which is down three. The three A's are still sticking together, with Arms, Assassination and Arcane all moving one up, and the Rogue moving ahead of the Mage at the end of the top 10.

      95th percentile Mythic data by Warcraft Logs.
      Overall Damage All Percentiles
      It's Survival's week this time around, as the Hunter bursts up nine spots into 7th, with the top 6 remaining the same. Elemental rises here as well in 9th, gaining three spots, as Havoc drops two at the end of the top 10. Marksmanship joins fellow Hunter Beast Mastery in the bottom 3, taking Feral's place.
      All percentiles Mythic data by Warcraft Logs.
      Boss Only Damage All Percentiles
      Unholy moves to the top of the pack in the direct damage charts, just barely taking Subtlety down. Survival makes an appearance here as well, moving six spots up into 6th, as Assassination and Shadow push Balance out of the top 10.
      All percentiles Mythic data by Warcraft Logs.
      Heroic
      Overall Damage All Percentiles

      All percentiles Heroic data by Warcraft Logs.

      U.GG Raw Mythic DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks. This chart is for Mythic only.
      Arms is on the way up, gaining three spots in 6th and pushing Havoc down one, as the Fyr'alaths start compounding here as well. Fire moves three up in 9th, as Frost DK drops those same three spots just outside the top 10.
