Spending Runes generates our third resource, Runic Power, which we spend on Death Coil/ Epidemic. Festering Wound is a secondary "resource" acting as a debuff on any target we fight and Scourge Strike spends these Festering Wounds by popping them on our target, dealing damage.

A maximum of three can regenerate at any given time. We have a total of 6 that regenerate over 10 seconds (decreasing with haste) once used. We utilize a core rotation of Festering Strike, Scourge Strike, Death Coil and Outbreak.įestering Strike costs two Runes and applies 2-3 Festering Wounds. The Unholy Death Knight is a master of undead pets and deadly diseases.

Please feel free to contact me on Discord as Bicepspump#6318, I'm always happy to have a healthy discussion! Outside of playing WoW, I work as a data scientist and enjoy playing other games such as Dota 2! Furthermore, I work with the WoWAnalyzer website where I develop modules for the Death Knight specs. I take part in writing and optimizing the action priority list for SimulationCraft and continuously test different hypotheses using the SimulationCraft program. Big shoutout to everyone on the Acherus discord that have given me valuable insight through numerous discussions. You can often find me on the Death Knight discord discussing rotations and builds, on my stream ( B1cepspump), running some juicy Mythic +, or on my youtube channel where I've started doing video guides. I'm Bicepspump, a semi-hardcore player currently playing on Kazzak. Make sure to navigate to additional pages of the Unholy Death Knight guide to find more in-depth information on topics such as Covenants, Legendaries, Soulbinds, Conduits, Tier Sets, Mythic+, and Raids. Throughout this guide, we will cover many different aspects to increase your Unholy Death Knight expertise, including concepts like Unholy Death Knight talents and talents builds, Unholy Death Knight BiS gear choices, Unholy Death Knight stat priorities, among many other aspects of your class and specialization. So it's better, imo, to spec into the BiS spec and learn it inside out.Welcome to Wowhead's Unholy Death Knight guide, updated for ! This guide will teach you to master playing Unholy Death Knight in all aspects of the game, helping you to deal optimal DPS in Raids and Mythic+ dungeons. Learning the playstyle at BiS will be the difference between topping the charts and underperforming. More often than not, the difference between bad and good dps is not because of spec, it's because of playstyle. You should focus on learning your class and rotation. Second, I'm not a fan of changing your spec too much as you gear up. Getting in the habit of using this whenever you can will pay off when you go into ToC, and even ICC. The -20RP on mind freeze makes using it a no-brainer. As a DK dps, you are one of the best interrupters in the game, bar-none. The reason I say to go as a frost subspec is twofold:įirst, endless winter.

However, at higher gear levels, when haste becomes one of your most valuable stats, icy talons becomes invaluable. At your gear level, the flat damage/crit increases from 2h weapon mastery/dark conviction (as well as bladed armor) far outweigh the scaling haste bonus from icy talons. The reason is that you don't have enough haste to justify icy talons, and you don't have enough strength to justify endless winter. At your gear level, it is a dps loss, but I still recommend it: here's why.įor low gear (3.8 is fairly low gear), you are supposed to go blood/unholy.
