Unholy Death Knight DPS Crucible of Storms Raid Guide — Battle for Azeroth (BfA) 8.2.5

This page will be a rough outline of the bosses and mechanics in the Crucible of Storms raid. This page will focus primarily on how an Unholy Death Knight can optimize its performance within the Crucible of Storms, rather than a step by step guide to each encounter. More tips will be added once Mythic difficulty is released.

Unholy Death Knights are primarily single-target burst damage dealers, while also being very capable of burst and sustained AoE.

We advise you to use the following talents against The Restless Cabal.

• Level 15: All Will Serve (or Infected Claws, situationally)
• Level 25: Ebon Fever (or Bursting Sores, situationally)
• Level 30: No specific recommendation
• Level 35: Soul Reaper
• Level 40: Wraith Walk or Death Pact
• Level 45: Defile (or Pestilence, situationally)
• Level 50: Summon Gargoyle

• This fight has multiple adds and bosses so you want to make sure you apply Virulent Plague to all targets.
• If the other boss or adds are close to your main target, you want to cast Death and Decay to maximize your cleave.
• Be careful of your cleave when there are players afflicted by Cerebral Assault to stop yourself dealing too much damage.

Due to the continuous 3 target cleave this fight offers, using Epidemic over Death Coil is recommended when 3 targets are stacked up. This happens when there is a Visage from Beyond stacked on the 2 bosses.

We advise you to use the following talents against Uu'nat, Harbinger of the Void.

• Level 15: All Will Serve (or Infected Claws, situationally)
• Level 25: Ebon Fever (or Bursting Sores, situationally)
• Level 30: No specific recommendation
• Level 35: Soul Reaper
• Level 40: Wraith Walk or Death Pact
• Level 45: Defile (or Pestilence, situationally)
• Level 50: Summon Gargoyle

You can use Anti-Magic Shell to prevent the debuff from the Piercing Gaze of N'Zoth beams by casting Anti-Magic Shell before the beams move over you.
