Mob’s Unholy Death Knight | Rider of the Apocalypse | Mythic+ & Raid | Midnight 12.0 | 4/05/2026 *UPDATED*

UPDATED 4/05/2026

***UPDATED TALENTS***

Hey it’s Mob. We have Unholy Death Knight Rider of the Apocalypse covering both Mythic+ and Raid. This comes with two sequences — a Single Target sequence and an AoE sequence. The ST sequence covers both boss fights and raid encounters. Swap to AoE on pulls with 3 or more enemies.

How the Sequences Work

The core gameplay loop is simple apply and maintain your plagues with Outbreak and Putrefy, build Lesser Ghoul stacks with Festering Strike and Festering Scythe, consume those stacks with Scourge Strike to summon Lesser Ghouls, and spend your Runic Power with Death Coil on single target or Epidemic on AoE to trigger Runic Corruption and keep your Runes regenerating fast.

Opener

The sequence handles the opener automatically. Army of the Dead paired with Dark Transformation fires on the first press since both are off cooldown. Dark Transformation is off the GCD so both fire simultaneously with no extra GCD cost. Outbreak fires first to get your plagues up, followed by Putrefy and Soul Reaper. Your trinkets in slots 13 and 14 also fire automatically with Army of the Dead so they align with your burst window every time. The only thing to do manually at pull is pop your combat potion alongside when Army fires. I don’t like to put this in the sequence as you can burn through your potions quickly without realizing it. It is a simple add in to the third block with ‘/use [combat] Tempered Potion’.

Forbidden Knowledge Window

When you cast Army of the Dead it triggers a 30 second buff that automatically transforms Death Coil into Necrotic Coil and Epidemic into Graveyard. Both upgraded spells are explicitly in the sequence above their base versions. During Forbidden Knowledge windows Necrotic Coil and Graveyard fire automatically. Outside those windows WoW skips them since they don’t exist yet and falls through to Death Coil and Epidemic as normal. You get both behaviors completely automatically with no player input needed.

Single Target Sequence — UDK_Rider_ST

Use this on boss fights, single target pulls, and all raid encounters.

AoE Sequence — UDK_Rider_AoE

Use this on pulls with 3 or more enemies. Epidemic replaces Death Coil as your Runic Power spender since it hits all infected targets simultaneously. Graveyard replaces Epidemic during Forbidden Knowledge windows the same way Necrotic Coil replaces Death Coil in the ST sequence. Everything else is identical to the ST sequence.

Modifiers

Two Modifiers

  • Hold Ctrl + press your key — fires Dark Transformation and Army of the Dead together. Dark Transformation is on a 45 second cooldown. Army of the Dead which is on a 1 minute 30 second cooldown. This will fire off both abilities and do not forget to use Dark Transformation again before the Army of the Dead timer is back up align them again.
  • Hold Shift + press your key — fires Outbreak to apply your plagues. Use this when you engage a new pack or if your plagues have dropped off. Epidemic requires Virulent Plague to be on targets to function so keep plagues up.

Important: You will need to add Ctrl+[your key] and Shift+[your key] as separate keybinds in GSE’s keybinding menu all pointing to the same sequence so GSE knows to listen for those modifier combinations. Make sure none of those modifier combinations are already bound to other actions in your WoW keybinds.

Hey All. There has been a few GSE updates today. I just resaved the builds and put a new GSE export string in the original post. Please use the new string and let me know if you run into any issues. @Monkeybutts_1386 @Cyrano @Avathil

unless it take a min to update still getting the same thing

Foudn issue was on my end all good now

Nice! Let me know how it works out for ya.

It loads fine but the DPS seems to be slightly lower than the one button assist.

Am I doing something wrong?

No, i am pushing the new one in a bit. Bit of my fault. Made a bunch of versions for testing and i scrambled and old GSE folder with the newer GSE updates today. Sorry about that. I have been working on a lot of different ones today and it was my fault on pushing the wrong one. I should ahve it up in a little bit. and i will tag you when its done

Looking forward to the update. It will be great to have something that actually works for unholy DK. Appreciate the hard work man.

I just put the new GSE String in if you want to reimport it. It is in a better place now but still may need some tweaking so any feedback from you or anyone else is appreciated. I feel its in a decent place now but I want to get other peoples results and go from there. Thanks for helpin out.

I just realized my title said 3/3/2026 but this is updated to current date: 3/22/2026

Hi Mob,

First of all, thanks for taking your time and sharing this sequence with us.

My DK is ilvl 252 and this sequence seems to be working great. I will try some mythic and a raid with it and get back to you.

i keep getting no valid targets with the AOE sequence

Are you level 90 and are you using the WoW build i posted? I would maybe try to reimport and reload if you are using the same abilities and meet the level requirement. I just tested it and I am not having any issues. When you hit the macro does it target a dummy and then the ‘no valid targets’ shows on the screen?

great work did some m0 with it and went well so far

Glad to hear it. If you find anything wrong or any feedback let me know, I am still tweaking minor things as I play with it as well.
