:light_bulb: Death Strike - Dual Role: Death Strike appears in the loop for routine Runic Power dumping and passive self-healing. It is also on Shift for instant emergency use at any point in the sequence. The macro handles the routine, you handle the emergencies.

:light_bulb: Leveling Note: Every spell in this macro is available from the leveling talent build at level 80. As you spend talent points progressing toward 90, Dance of Midnight becomes progressively stronger, and Heart Strike will hit harder. No macro changes are needed until level 90.

:skull_and_crossbones: Level 90 Mythic+ Build

:warning: Update - April 9, 2026: After further testing, I’ve identified some irregular pausing in the rotation that needs to be addressed before I’m comfortable calling it production-ready. The level 90 build will be revisited and corrected as soon as time allows; real life takes priority right now. I appreciate your patience and will post an update when it’s ready. The import string below is functional but carries the known pausing issue.

Built for endgame Mythic+ at level 90 with full Dance of Midnight. Consistent Reaper’s Mark cycling, 4 Death Strike passes per loop cycle, and Bone Shield maintained throughout.

:shield: Bone Shield maintained via Marrowrend every loop pass
:skull_and_crossbones: Reaper’s Mark leads the loop Deathbringer procs on cooldown
:drop_of_blood: Death Strike fires 4 times per loop cycle plus Shift for emergencies
:repeat_button: Sequential loop consistent priority every pass

Keep Vampiric Blood, Icebound Fortitude, Anti-Magic Shell, Death Grip, and Gorefiend’s Grasp on manual keybinds.

:light_bulb: Tier Set Note: This macro is structured around the Relentless Rider’s Lament tier set bonuses, Blood Boil generating Runic Power on the 2-piece and Death Strike proccing bonus Blood Boil charges on the 4-piece. Both bonuses are passive, and the macro takes advantage of them naturally. It has not yet been tested with tier pieces equipped. Feedback from tier holders is welcome.

:light_bulb: Pacing Tip: This macro responds best to steady, deliberate presses rather than rapid key clicking. If you notice the rotation stalling or pausing, slow your button presses down and let the GCD complete between presses. Clicking faster does not improve performance and can actually cause more perceived stuttering.

I just wanted to check in and ask how things are progressing with the Level 90 version.
Is this still being worked on, or has it been discontinued? :slight_smile:

Xpaiintz, I haven’t discontinued this. I have been working on my Guardian macros. I don’t have much time to play, but my B DK is coming up next. Should be a week or so before I have this one updated. :crossed_fingers:

A quick update on the level 90 endgame macro. After further testing, I’ve identified some irregularities in the rotation that need to be addressed before I’m comfortable calling it production-ready. The leveling macro (70-90) remains solid and is unchanged. The level 90 build will be revisited and corrected as soon as time allows; real life takes priority right now. I appreciate your patience and will post an update when it’s ready.
