heyas

whats the ilvl when you did those tests

wait

why is yor gcd 1.24

its supposed to be 1.0 no matter what and no reliant on your ping

Ok my dk is 261

ST after about 40s settles in at 45k, which is par for the course on every GSE ive tried.

the difference though is that the damage profile looks correct as death coil is tops for damage

this is unbuffed as well

I sim 68.7k which is 65% parse– if theres a way to get that to 85% to 90% that would be ideal

272 ilvl when tests were done

can u post updated talent build?? :slight_smile:

I’ll update the talents when I get home from work tonight

i will give it a try and send a bit feedback. Your words are promissing.

Talents have been updated - please be mindful if you are doing a sim to compare that hectic add cleave is broken for UH DK on raidbots and is not accurate

i test it in action :slight_smile:

Alot of stacks of scourge strike stacking, to often at 8 stacks.

One of the many things i’m working on is trying to get that down

I’ll have a little play around with this, as I leveled a Frost DK and I’m now trying out all the Unholy sequences to see which work nicely :slight_smile:

I’ll give you some feedback shortly.

I just want to confirm that both the M+ & Raiding talents are meant to be identical?

No and if they are I screwed up so i’ll edit them lol

Talents updated my bad

All right, I have not used the sequence yet. I was just looking at it, and I can see that you do not have any modifiers, which might be an issue when it comes to using Army of the Dead. With DK, if you have sequences that use skills which consume runes, that skill is going to be overlooked because you will be spamming attack skills. So I have a feeling Army of the Dead is not going to be used unless I click it manually, and I think Soul Reaper is going to have an issue as well. But I will have a look and see what happens.

All right, so overall, the damage is fine when there are no pets being used, because as I mentioned, there are moments where nothing happens with Army of the Dead due to other abilities taking priority over the runes. I watched closely, and it took a full minute before the sequence finally activated Army of the Dead. The problem is that when you go into a fight, you want to use that at the start, which means you lost one minute where it was not being used at all.

When it came to Soul Reaper, it was very inconsistent. When Army of the Dead finally did activate, Soul Reaper did not even go off, which is exactly what I expected to be an issue.

I think the sequence, as it currently stands, could be drastically improved by applying modifiers to Soul Reaper, Dark Transformation, and Army of the Dead. For example, you could press Shift to trigger Army of the Dead and Dark Transformation together, and press ctrl or alt to activate Soul Reaper. That would solve most of the usage problems.

Also, looking at the sequence, you have way too many repeated skills. When the sequence runs, everything is cycled through extremely quickly, so you do not need double or triple copies of the same skill in different blocks. You could easily reduce this by having only one of each ability, for example one Death Coil with modifiers, one Scourge Strike with modifiers, and so on. You do not need Scourge Strike, then Death Coil, then Scourge Strike again in separate blocks. It is an unnecessary use of blocks.

You could definitely clean it up quite a bit. Otherwise, the damage is fine. I just do not understand why you have so many blocks for each individual skill when they can end up being skipped anyway due to a lack of runes or runic power.

Noted, I have not had an issue with Army firing straight away or DT but I see what you’re saying

For example, something like this:

Block1:
/targetenemy [noharm][dead]
/startattack

/cast [mod:shift] Dark Transformation
/cast [mod:shift] Army of the Dead
/cast [mod:alt] Soul Reaper

Block2:
/cast [mod:shift] Dark Transformation
/cast [mod:shift] Army of the Dead
/cast [mod:alt] Soul Reaper

/cast [@player] Death and Decay
/cast Outbreak

Block3:
/cast [mod:shift] Dark Transformation
/cast [mod:shift] Army of the Dead
/cast [mod:alt] Soul Reaper

/cast Festering Strike

Block4:
/cast [mod:shift] Dark Transformation
/cast [mod:shift] Army of the Dead
/cast [mod:alt] Soul Reaper

/cast Scourge Strike

Block5:
/cast [mod:shift] Dark Transformation
/cast [mod:shift] Army of the Dead
/cast [mod:alt] Soul Reaper

/cast Epidemic

Block6:
/cast [mod:shift] Dark Transformation
/cast [mod:shift] Army of the Dead
/cast [mod:alt] Soul Reaper

/cast Putrefy

You see, what I have there is that I am going to try it out. I basically looked at your sequence and other people’s sequences and just kind of condensed it down. I am going to see how it performs compared to yours side by side for five minutes, and then I will let you know. I will also show you the actual DPS meter image as well.

From the one I linked above:

Your build: (I also changed one of the talents, Feast of the Souls to Fury of the Horseman as you won’t be using Death Coil in AoE in my opinion as it’s a ST skill)

They’re pretty much the same. This time around Army of the Dead fired off quicker at the beginning, so there is some RNG so to speak around that.

ilvl wise my DK is only 245 and I wasn’t using any pots/oils/food etc.

I’ll add Death Coil and try again as I noticed it changes and has a cleave applied to it :slight_smile:
