Frost Death Knight DPS Amirdrassil Raid Guide — Dragonflight 10.2.7

Below, you can find class and spec-specific advice for every fight in Amirdrassil. If you are looking for a general overview of the Raid that is not spec-specific, check out our dedicated Amirdrassil, the Dream's Hope guides.

On this page, you will find Frost Death Knight specific information to deal with each boss in the Amirdrassil raid. These are not complete encounter guides but specific tips for doing the bosses as a Frost Death Knight.

This page assumes that you already understand most of the mechanics of each encounter. These can be found on the full raid guide, so what is contained here are details specifically tailored toward Frost Death Knight and how you can deal with each fight as best as possible.

The main choice you need to make as a Frost Death Knight is which of the three main builds you go for. 2H Obliteration, DW Obliteration or Breath. It is primarily a personal preference as all builds are competitive. Still, we recommend 2H Obliteration on all bosses. You also choose either Unholy Ground on AoE encounters or Enfeeble for pure Single Target.

Lots of AoE followed by a burst phase. Default build works best.

• CsPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAzYmZMGDzYmZmZmxMzMxYMDwMzYmhZmZmZmZZmBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAhwGmZmxMA

• Use Anti-Magic Shell when target by Controlled Burn. This deals a lot of damage, and you will be running out of the raid, making it more difficult to survive. Furthermore, it helps your Breath keep going as you won't be able to hit the boss during this time!
• An alternative use for Anti-Magic Shell is for the tank frontal. Even at Mythic, this will essentially deal 0 damage to your through AMS and provide a good chunk of Runic Power. Be careful, though; you do not want to end up dying by soaking a frontal deliberately!
• Use Anti-Magic Zone when the boss casts Tortured Scream.
• Leverage Death and Decay to cleave as much as possible on the adds.
• Use Abomination Limb when the adds spawn to do damage and grip them together.

Primarily a Single Target encounter with some short burst Add cleave. Default build is best!

• CsPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAzYmZMGDzYmZmZmxMzMxYMDwMzYmhZmZmZmZZmBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAhwGmZmxMA

• Use Death's Advance to avoid the knockback from Marked for Torment.
• Use Anti-Magic Zone to help your raid mitigate the damage from Umbral Destruction, Smashing Viscera and Marked for Torment. Especially Smashing Viscera is good since you have a lot of raid damage coming in, and you won't be able to hit the boss when he is leaping around!
• Make sure to not fire off a fresh Breath just before the boss starts jumping about!
• Use Death and Decay to deal good cleave damage on the Blistering Spears.

For more information, please refer to our Igira guide.

Pure Single Target encounter so default build is best. Also use Enfeeble due to pure Single Target encounter.

• CsPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAzYmZMGjlZMzMmZGzMzEjxMAzMjZGmZmZmZmlZGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAECwMzMmBA

• Use Anti-Magic Shell when targeted by Coiling Flames to help mitigate the damage and gain Runic Power for Breath of Sindragosa. You can go stack on someone else who has the debuff to also generate some RP!
• Use Anti-Magic Zone to help your raid mitigate the damage from Flood of the Firelands. Ideally, time this when you are low on Runic Power in your Breath of Sindragosa.
• Use Death's Advance to immune the knockback from Flood of the Firelands.

For more information, please refer to our Council of Dreams guide.

This fight consists of 3 target spread-ish cleave. You fight three bosses at the same time, but they tend to be relatively spread out and move around quite a lot. Importantly, you will spend time as a Duck multiple times in this fight, potentially ruining your burst windows. Default build is best here.

• CsPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAzYmZMGDzYmZmZmxMzMxYMDwMzYmhZmZmZmZZmBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAhwGmZmxMA

• Use Death and Decay to cleave as much as possible when the bosses are stacked. Make sure to use it 2 GCDs into your Pillar of Frost windows!
• Use Anti-Magic Shell when targeted by Poisonous Javelin.
• Use Death's Advance during Emerald Winds to immune the push effect.

For more information, please refer to our Volcoross guide.

Primarily a single target encounter with some intermittent add cleave and heavy movement. Default build works best.

• CsPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAzYmZMGDzYmZmZmxMzMxYMDwMzYmhZmZmZmZZmBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAhwGmZmxMA

• Use Death Grip to help gather up the Fiery Treants when they spawn.
• Leverage Death and Decay whenever the Fiery Treants spawn to do heavy cleave damage.
• Use Anti-Magic Zone to help your raid mitigate the damage from Raging Inferno. Also, use Anti-Magic Shell to further mitigate the damage to yourself.
• Use Death's Advance during Consuming Flame to immune the pulling effect.
• Use Abomination Limb to help group up the adds and deal good cleave damage.
• You can soak the Blazing Coalescence orbs to gain a short crit buff. This also deals damage to you, so make sure to use a defensive if you drop too low!
• Use Anti-Magic Shell for Furious Charge to soak the magic damage hit (from Furious Outburst) and generate Runic Power for your Breath.

Nymue is an encounter with a stationary boss in Phase 1, and two adds in Phase 2. The adds are not stacked though, so it is essentially a single target encounter. Default build works best, with Enfeeble.

• CsPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAzYmZMGjlZMzMmZGzMzEjxMAzMjZGmZmZmZmlZGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAECwMzMmBA

• You can use Icebound Fortitude if you are hit by Impending Loom. This will remove the stun and help mitigate the DoT afterward.
• You can use Anti-Magic Shell to immune the effect of an Impending Loom line. You should just dodge these, though.
• Use Anti-Magic Shell and Anti-Magic Zone during Continuum to help mitigate the damage.
• You can use Anti-Magic Shell to cross across the walls without getting the DoT. You simply immune the application and can move freely through them for the full duration of Anti-Magic Shell. Great to use if you get the Weaver's Burden mechanic, as you will need to move out of the raid, crossing multiple lines.
• You can use Anti-Magic Shell to reset the stack of Unravel in the intermission.

For more information, please refer to our Nymue guide.

Pure single-target fight with quite a lot of personal and boss movement. Default build is best, with Enfeeble.

• CsPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAzYmZMGjlZMzMmZGzMzEjxMAzMjZGmZmZmZmlZGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAECwMzMmBA

• Use Anti-Magic Shell to help mitigate the damage and generate Runic Power when targeted by Overheated.
• Try and stay close to the boss with Overheated to help maintain uptime.
• Use Anti-Magic Zone for Brand of Damnation to help your raid mitigate the damage.
• Be careful with using Death's Advance for the knockback in the intermission as you risk spawning the balls too close to the boss. It's better to have some distance to give yourself more time to soak them up.
• For Obliteration, use the first charge of Empower Rune Weapon on pull and then save it for each burst phase.
• Use the first Pillar of Frost on pull and then save the seconds use for the first burst phase. After this point, use Pillar on cooldown.

Primarily a Single Target encounter but with some period of heavy add cleave. The fight consists of 90-120 seconds of boss action followed by 20-30 seconds of flying and forced downtime. Default build works great with the addition of Frostwyrm's Fury to deal heavy add damage.

• CsPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAzYmZMGDzYmZmZmxMzMxYMDwMzYmhZmZmZmZZmBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAhwGmZmxMA

• Anti-Magic Shell can be used to pre-immune the Mass Entanglement, dodging both the root and the DoT. For Mythic you only do this in a coordinated manner. Breaking out of the roots spawns a treant add that pulses AoE, and you will generally do so together with the rest of your raid! Wraith Walk can also be used to remove the root, but we will generally not pick up this talent.
• Use Anti-Magic Zone during Supernova to mitigate the damage.
• You can opt to use Anti-Magic Shell after Mass Entanglement is applied to you to mitigate the damage and generate Runic Power for your Breath.
• Use Frostwyrm's Fury on the Mass Entanglement spawns.

For more information, please refer to our Tindral guide.

Fyrakk is a three-stage encounter with some cleave opportunity but primarily Single Target focused. We get nice utility from our Death Grip due to adds needing to be grouped up and killed quickly. We recommend the default build.

• CsPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAzYmZMGDzYmZmZmxMzMxYMDwMzYmhZmZmZmZZmBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAhwGmZmxMA

• Dream Rend deals a significant amount of raid damage; use Anti-Magic Zone to help mitigate it.
• The boss will jump into the middle of the room as a dragon on two occasions: start of the first intermission and start of phase 3. You can use Death's Advance to avoid the knockback from this!
• Phase 2 will have multiple adds spawning. First two Burning Colossus adds followed by multiple Screaming Soul adds. Use Death and Decay as much as possible whenever the adds are stacked together.
• Use Death Grip and Abomination Limb to help group up the Screaming Soul adds!
• Apocalypse Roar knockback can be immuned with Death's Advance.
