Unholy Death Knight PvP Useful Macros (Dragonflight / 10.0.5)
Macros are crucial to be successful in PvP. They allow players to use abilities on enemies without having to target them. This helps increase overall damage/healing and general awareness in the arena. Here are a few macros that all Unholy Death Knights can benefit from.
This page is part of our Unholy Death Knight PvP Guide.
Asphyxiate 123 Macro
- #showtooltip Asphyxiate
- /cast [target=arena1] Asphyxiate
Using this macro will use Asphyxiate on arena enemy 1.
This makes it easier to stun an enemy while staying focused on
your target. If you want macros for the second and third enemies,
simply change the arena1 to arena2 or arena3.
Death Grip 123 Macro
- #showtooltip Death Grip
- /cast [target=arena1] Death Grip
Using this macro will use Death Grip on arena enemy 1.
This makes it easier to setup engages on the enemy while staying focused on
your target. If you want macros for the second and third enemies,
simply change the arena1 to arena2 or arena3.
Mind Freeze 123 Macro
- #showtooltip Mind Freeze
- /cast [target=arena1] Mind Freeze
Using this macro will use Mind Freeze on arena enemy 1.
This makes it easier to use interrupts on various enemies while staying focused
on your target. If you want macros for the second and third enemies,
simply change the arena1 to arena2 or arena3.
Pet Kick 123 Macro
- #showtooltip Leap
- /cast [target=arena1] Leap
Using this macro will use Leap on arena enemy 1.
This makes it easier to use interrupts on various enemies while staying focused
on your target. If you want macros for the second and third enemies,
simply change the arena1 to arena2 or arena3.
Death Grip Focus Macro
- #showtooltip Death Grip
- /cast [target=focus] Death Grip
If you find that you do not have much room on your action bars, you
can use a focus macro. This is much simpler to use than the arena123
macro. Put an enemy on focus and this macro will use Death Grip
on that player while you are still focused on your target.
Pet Stun
- #showtooltip Gnaw
- /cast Gnaw
This makes it so your pet uses Gnaw on your target.
