Death Knight The War Within Frost

:snowflake: Frost Death Knight

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to share the setup I’ve been using on my Frost Death Knight running the FrostBane spec. I’ve built out three core combat sequences that handle different situations smoothly:

  • AoE

Each one is designed to keep the rotation fluid while giving me manual control over the key moments that matter. I don’t bother trying to micro manage Piller of Frost OR Empowered Rune Weapon though and they will cast as they come up (except in the NOCD sequence).

:small_blue_diamond: Mythic+ Talent Build

Here’s the talents that I use:

CsPAclESCN5uIs3wGGVadXqL3ZAmZGzYMzwwMzMzMMmRzMmZYmZgZGmZmZmZmBAAAAAAAAAAAgNzmhBGY20QDbYmZGzMgxA

:small_blue_diamond: Modifier Controls

SHIFT – Force Howling Blast (Only cast when you get Rime)

Holding SHIFT across all three sequences will priority-cast Howling Blast use when Rime is up.
This lets me capitalize on Frostbound Will by firing the free Howling Blast reducing my CD for Empowered Rune Weapon

ALT – Frostwyrm’s Fury (or Frostscythe Swap)

Holding ALT normally forces Frostwyrm’s Fury on demand.

However:

  • In the NOCD ST sequence, ALT does NOT fire Frostwyrm’s Fury.
  • Instead, ALT converts the single-target rotation into AoE by swapping Obliterate → Frostscythe.

:small_blue_diamond: Self-Heal Logic (NOCD Sequence Only)

(YOU WILL NEED TO CHANGE THE CHARACTER NAME TO YOUR NAME IN THE SEQUENCE BLOCK 2.1)

On the NOCD ST sequence, if you mouseover yourself, the sequence automatically fires Death Strike.

Great for:

  • Quick self-healing
  • Maintaining uptime while stabilizing

:small_blue_diamond: Battle Rez on Mouseover (All Sequences)

No matter which of the three sequences you’re using, mousing over an ally will instantly activate Raise Ally to battle-rez them.

:snowflake: Closing Thoughts

I feel with higher gear, this will absolutly slap but its hard to know how well you/it is doing as sim data is not 100% accurate

Updated Original post with more information and newer sequences.

well dick me dead and bury me pregnant, this actually has some potential, 717 ilvl, most probably not with correct stats and maintaining 12m dps on target dummies, will test it out in a M+ shortly

4

so +10 gambit done, overall 6m dps, so not terrible, still pulling behind DB a little, but that said, it is close enough to be a considered build and it is a more casual playstyle, not having to time DB for bursts etc so…worthwhile to use :slight_smile: more testing to come

ok so now I have x 2 1h swords at 727, this thing is pretty cool and nice to see a break away from the “meta” tallents. 2.5b damage on target dummies, held 11m+ dps and peaked at 20m+ burst so yeah..this does indeed slap :slight_smile: Added bonus, I get to use x2 Hailstorm swords on frost DK again :slight_smile:
