Additional Resources for Blood Death Knight — Midnight Pre-Patch (12.0.1)
On this page we will be helping you with additional resources for your Blood Death Knight. This covers Add-on and WeakAura recommendations, Macros, Simulations, and some more esoteric knowledge of your spec!
Welcome to our additional resources page for Blood Death Knights. Here you will find links to recommended third-party tools, guides that can help you reach the next level in your gameplay by teaching you how to sim yourself or analyze your own logs, as well as other information that can help you improve both your character and performance.
How To Sim Yourself
Simming yourself is an incredibly useful and powerful tool that you can use to make informed decisions on what gems to socket, what gear to prioritize, or even what dungeons to run for the best chance at an upgrade. We have a very comprehensive guide on how to use this tool even as a beginner, so make sure to check it out!
How to Analyze Logs
In order to help you further elevate your performance and improve your ability to self-analyze your gameplay, we are preparing a set of guides that teach you how to look at your own logs, find rotational issues, check for uptimes on buffs and debuffs, and much more. Please make sure to check back at a later time once these have been completed.
Blood Death Knight Mage Tower Challenge
The Mage Tower challenge is designed as a scaled-down, optional event whose rewards are purely cosmetic. It provides a relatively challenging test of your ability to play Blood, along with a good showcase of a couple of unique class mechanics.
If you want to find out more about how to tackle this content, we have a detailed generic guide ready for you.
For Blood specifically, the following tips may prove useful.
- You can use
Anti-Magic Shell to prevent the application of Variss'
Aura of Decay. Use it before you go into the circle.
Death's Advance prevents the knockback from infernals if you are
too slow to move, but fast enough to notice you will get knocked off.
