Frost DK 5.4.8

I wrote this macro + plus guide, going over the Rotation.

-Note, This is a ‘scripted macro’ and largely depends on haste, otherwise abilities are stuck withing on specific runes, unlike some of the other types of macros posted on this site.

This command clears the red error text as a separate macro:

hey matey any reason why this macro locks up alot?

try it without blood tap, i’m using Runic Corruption and getting little lockups here and there but im getting over 140k dps on dummies and 140k-200k in raids (my ilvl 535), i press plague leech and horn of winter manually for this macro

/castsequence reset=0.9 0,Frost Strike
/castsequence reset=10 Howling Blast,Plague Strike,Obliterate,Howling Blast,Plague Strike,Obliterate
/cast [combat] pillar of frost

or use this and only have to worry about pressing Plague leech if you have it as a talent of course (same as the top one 140k-200k dps for me anyways)

seems to work good thanks i dont use PL tbh do u think it is better than HBlight?

it’s personal preference, Unholy blight spreads the blood plague and frost fever to all other enemies so its good aoe and plague leech just restores two runes

Try this one guys let me know what you think. I have used almost everyone I can find online and I get best DPS from this one. I’m a 565 DW DK and I avg 300-350k DPS

No Plague strike? left out for a reason?

Well, I originally didn’t want PS out of the rotation, but I get 25k more DPS without it in there.

I missed a line in the macro also; this is what it should look like…

#showtooltip Obliterate
/targetenemy [noharm][dead]
/targetenemy reset=0.4 0,0,0,0,0,Horn of Winter
/castsequence reset=0.4 0,0,0,0,Howling Blast

/cast [combat] Pillar of Frost
/cast [combat] Empower Rune Weapon
/startattack

You can also have raise dead in there if you really want. But I keep a separate macro for that.
I dunno it just seems to work. I am always looking to increase my DPS though, so if anyone has a better one, i’m keen to see it :slight_smile:

Rob I tried your macro out but am having a problem with it wanting to switch targets on each button press. Are you having this problem?

heya guys just a quick query as ive used these macros and they work really well but i solo quite a lot and liek to be able to self heal how would death strike fit into any of these?

None of those seem to work for me kept locking up, and blood plague was never up. So, I wrote a new one try it out and see if it works for you. Thanks.

I modified Williams a little bit and this one seems to work great for me. I am poorly geared only ilvl 485 and I maintain between 65-75k over a 5 minute span

use this macro with 2H weapon and pray for me :wink:

I want to thank you Ozy for this macro! Seriously!

The only thing that I did to it to make it more effective for me was I added the Icy Touch at the start. That is how I have played since I rolled a DK in WotLK.

I have not touched my Dk since Cata. However, your macro is making it a LOT easier! THANK YOU!
