❄️ Knights of Frost - Deathbringer & Riders | ST/AOE - UPDATED 8/19

Vince- that might not be a bad suggestion. Thank you for the extra effort here.

youd just have to remove the spell from the sequence in one of the blocks

I run deathstrike on another key as to only use it for heals. Rely mainly on macro for the rest.

Will the deathbringer obliterate build work with DW & 2H?

You seem eager. :rofl:
zsbd

it should yes, just believe DW is better?

Gave it a shot updating mine. Can not promise this is optimal and still trying to figure out why Breath doesn’t fire off on modifier.

Fixed ALT modifier to correctly fire off FF and BoS

Just hold to fire off both.

DPS should be a bit better when BoS is fired off with FF correctly.

Simplified the macro a bit more, hopefully should be better DPS for you!

Split into single target and AOE now as well, adjusted rotations to match.
Please, test, let me know and give me some edits. Trying to make this as good as I can as I plan to make this my main going forward

Updated again, supports both sets of Hero Talents, just go into configuration of that macro and set the default version to the one you want

Changed up openers on both versions. Riders still pulls ahead. Make sure to hold ALT during opening to fire off BoS and FF

Should improve DPS

very nice but I would say that the st macro uses howling blast far too often you only want to use it when it lights up or to reapply the debuff - I think you could change it in a way that it went off half as much and instead used frost strike more often to spend rather than overcap.

Personally I just changed it so that block 4 and block 5 do frost strike instead of 3 and 4 being howling. This prevents over capping resources and seems to increase ST dps by 10% ish.

Additionally I suggest initiating with howling most of the time as that applies your dot and gets everything rolling - So I would use howling/racial/trinket and then begin using the macro.

Feel free to post your edits here. Not a stickler like some other “macro creators” :stuck_out_tongue:

@vince-orlando I find that Deathbringer works better for Riders than Riders, not really sure why tbh it just outperforms by at least 10-15% dps. I sit at a solid 8.5mm - 9.5mm sustained AOE vs 6.7-7.1MM using the Riders version. I am trying to work through why but wanted to share in case anyone else is seeing a similar result.

EDIT TO CLARIFY : I am not talking about the talents, I mean the actual GSE sequences for Deathbringers out performs Riders while using the Riders talents.

thats… weird. but will test! thank you!
