This is for that your CD’s are constantly on cooldown.
If you don’t play an orc you can remove /cast [combat]Blood Fury
If you play an troll you can replace /cast [combat]Blood Fury with /cast [combat]Berserking
/use 10 is for using your gloves. If you aren’t an engineer you can remove it.
Because of /cast [combat] Blood Tap your character constantly try to use Blood Tap and will look a little bit dumb.

/castsequence reset=0.1 0,0,0,Frost Strike
/castsequence reset=0.1 0,0,Howling Blast
/castsequence reset=60 0,Outbreak

This code is for your rotation. It will use Outbreak ever 60 seconds and will try to use Howling Blast, Frost Strike, Plague Leech, Plague Strike, Empower Rune Weapon, Horn of Winter, Raise Dead in this order.

Just wondering why Obliterate isnt being used?

Hi Marc, my quess is that the first Howling Blast is suppose to be Obliterate. Change it and see…

yea obliterate seems to be better there, only issue I have with the macro is when I spam my button it just looks like hes standing in place twitching

5

I took out Blood Tap to stop the twitching but I noticed the macro doesn’t put my diseases on a target once they are gone.

#showtooltip Howling Blast
/cast [mod:shift] Mind Freeze
/targetenemy [noharm][dead]
/castsequence reset=0.3 0,0,0,Obliterate
/castsequence reset=0.3 0,0,Howling Blast
/castsequence reset=0.3 0,!Frost Strike
/castsequence reset=30 Plague Strike, Plague Leech, Horn of Winter
/cast [combat] Pillar of Frost
/cast [combat] Anti-Magic Shell
/cast [combat] Blood Fury
/cast [combat] Lifeblood
/startattack

This is the best I could come up with. My gear isn’t the best but I was doing better dps than all other macros I could find.

My Talents are: 2,3,2,2,2,1

All feedback is appreciated

I only registered to stop this madness! :smiley:

The reason why there is no Obliterate is, that as a dual wielder at higher gear levels you don’t use Obliterate. It does not scale very well with Mastery and as DW you prefer mastery over crit as you cannot reach the hard hitting Obliterates like the 2H with their higher base weapon damage. Instead you boost your Frost damage by focusing on Mastery. You use Howling Blast and Frost Strike exclusively. Frost Stike outdamages Obliterate, that’s why you use your Killing Machine Procs on Frost Strike not on Obliterate. HB is semi spammable until you can Frost Strike again. I hope now the first macro makes more sense for you :slight_smile:
