Update notes at the bottom of post.
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.

Hope you enjoy! Please let me know what you think and any feedback is welcome. Drop a comment if something feels off or if you find improvements. Always looking to refine these.
Update:
Use Version 1 as its been updated. Do not worry about version 2 for now.
Couple things that have changed.
-
It uses more scourge strikes. It is still not perfect. I have seen it jump back up to 8 but ive seen it go down to zero stacks. It is adding more damage and actually using it more often though.
-
I removed Outbreak as a shift modifier and put Soul Reaper in its place. The reason for this is outbreak and soulreaper are very annoying to put in the main loop. Outbreak is an easy 1 button tap for you to put on mobs in the beginning of a pull. if plagues happen to fall off just reapply it. bind it to an easy button or a mouse button. Soul reaper use right after dark transformation. DT is on the ctrl mod so right after hit shift and your keybind. You wont have to use it often only when Dark Transformation is ready to be used again and if a mob is below 35% health but theres a cooldown on this so again, not something you will have to use often. Removing this block allowed some possibilities to open and led to more fester strikes/scythes and scourge strikes.
Again, thank you to everyone who has helped tested and please give more feedback. Ive put a lot of time into this without having to make 2-3 buttons for this. One button with two mods shouldn’t be too bad for good/decent results.
