Frost Death Knight 8.3

[Guest Calbrenarz]

It's not the same ability anymore, they renamed it.  Sindragosa's Fury is the artifact weapon and Frostwyrm's Fury is the talent.

Ah, I see - the ID was changed in the Easy Mode cooldowns, but not the rotation page one. Will get it fixed, thanks.

[Guest Calbrenarz]

No problem.  Thank you for giving me such an awesome starting point for every spec I play.

Does anyone know what the stat priorities will be like? Is it no longer crit/haste?

You should SIM yourself.

For me it's actually Mastery > Crit > Versa > Haste with an itemlvl of 332.

So my leigon artifact for frost is only lvl 210 and I'm lvl120 with all of my gear at 300 or above, when I try to use two lvl300 swords I don't do as much damage like I did with my leigon artifact what should I replace them with to avoid this?

If your artifact is item level 210, you should definitely get rid of it for the 300 ones. The only way the item level 300 ones are worse is if they are caster swords and you haven't realised, meaning they have no strength on them.

Is 2h now viable again? Or is 1h simply the best still? ?

You can't Obliterate or Frost Strike without a 1h, so 2h doesn't work.

[Guest Bog]

Macro's and adfons still suggests mrunes. A mod that hasnt been updated in over two years and doesnt work correctly anymore.

[Guest PersiaDark]

The rotations included mention using Remorseless Winter if you have Gathering Storm, but as-written it sounds like if you take Frostwyrm's Fury, you NEVER use Remorseless Winter on Single Target. Is this true? Thats a big change from Legion and I havnt seen it mentioned anywhere that we shouldnt be using Remorseless Winter for ST without GS. 

[Guest Dookaz]

It is damage neutral on ST, so it doesn't matter if you use it or not.  If it will hit more than 1 target, it then takes priority over a normal Obliterate. 

[Subjective 2]

Just wanted some clarity on the rotation:

Quote

Use  Howling Blast, only if you have a  Rime proc.

 

Is this because  Frost Fever benefits from the snapshot of 300% damage? Or just to save a rune? I am curious why there is never a reason to cast  Howling Blast without the  Rime proc, even just to apply an initial  Frost Fever. Especially as in the Spell Summary section it reads:

Quote

 Frost Fever is a DoT that is applied by  Howling Blast, and which you should aim to have up on the target(s) essentially at all times.

but with bad RNG this may not be applied for a while (and with truly unbelievable RNG it may never be applied) if waiting on a  Rime proc.

I don't see frost whelps indignation yet in your azurite talent section. Have you figured out yet where it lands in terms of A tier / B tier / C tier?

Just going by bloodmallet's sim numbers, it should be in the B-Tier for single target. It's a lot stronger for AoE, but not quite as good as Frozen Tempest or Echoing Howl.

Because BoS is the strongest build everywhere - every single top 10 raid parse on every single fight uses it. If you are enjoying the others, you can use them as you wish, but BoS is the strongest.

Hey, I actually just wanted to ask why there is so few to no love to this guide. ?
If i have a look at other guides (here on icy-veins) much more information are shared.
It basically says "sim your char" - what of course is not wrong! But another example would be the "viability"-section which is still talking about Uldir..

Hey, I believe it's due to the volatile nature of the info for DKs, so simming is even more important. I'll get Abyssal to fix the viability section, though, sorry!

This thread is for comments about our Frost Death Knight guide.

Writer missed alot about ice cap rotation and usage of Whelp wurms from azerite, along with spenders within the rotation and how to overlap the ice cap.

Question on gem to use. I just wanted to confirm no use of 1x Leviathan's Eye of Strength or 1x Kraken's Eye of Strength?

Abyssal is adding a note to the page to clarify this.
