Blood Death Knight Sequence Spec Info

  • Goal: Maximize survivability, threat, and group utility by prioritizing Death Strike for self-healing and Blood Shield, maintaining diseases and Bone Shield, and using procs and runic power efficiently. Adapt to incoming damage and encounter needs with timely use of cooldowns and execute tools.

Core Rotation Includes:

  • Bone Shield – Keep active at all times for mitigation.
  • Outbreak – Apply and maintain diseases on your target.
  • Death Strike – Main rune spender for healing and shielding; use on cooldown.
  • Heart Strike – Primary Blood rune spender for threat and Death Rune generation.
  • Rune Strike – Runic Power dump to avoid capping.
  • Horn of Winter – Use when no other abilities are available for Runic Power and raid buff.

Modded Keys:

  • Shift = Blood Boil - Refresh/spread diseases (with Roiling Blood) or for AoE/threat and Crimson Scourge procs.
  • Ctrl = Soul Reaper - Execute ability for targets below 35% HP.
  • Alt = Death and Decay (@player) - Use for AoE/threat when Crimson Scourge procs.

Frost Death Knight Sequence Spec Info

  • Goal: Deliver sustained and burst DPS by efficiently managing runes and runic power, maximizing Frost Strike usage, leveraging procs (Killing Machine, Rime), and aligning cooldowns (Pillar of Frost, Obliterate) for peak damage. Instantly spread diseases and manage resources with flexible mod keys, while keeping your rotation clean and responsive.

Core Rotation Includes:

  • Raise Dead – Ensure your ghoul is always summoned before combat.
  • Outbreak – Apply and refresh both Frost Fever and Blood Plague on your target.
  • Pillar of Frost – Major DPS cooldown; use on pull and on cooldown for burst.
  • Howling Blast – Apply Frost Fever and deal AoE damage, especially on Rime procs.
  • Frost Strike – Main Runic Power spender; use to avoid capping RP and maintain buffs.
  • Plague Strike – Use if Outbreak is on cooldown and you need to reapply Blood Plague.
  • Plague Leech – Use when Outbreak is available and you have 2 depleted runes for extra resources.
  • Horn of Winter – Use for Runic Power and raid buff when nothing else is available.

Modded Keys:

  • Shift = Pestilence - Instantly spread diseases to all nearby targets for AoE or cleave.
  • Ctrl = Blood Tap - Instantly trigger Blood Tap for Death Rune generation at 9+ stacks.
  • Alt = Obliterate – Use Obliterate when you have a Killing Machine proc for maximum damage, or when your runes are about to cap to avoid wasting resources. This ensures you hit your hardest when procs are up and keep your rune flow efficient.

Unholy Death Knight Sequence Spec Info

  • Goal: Deliver sustained and burst single-target DPS by maintaining diseases, efficiently generating and bursting Festering Wounds, empowering your ghoul, and aligning cooldowns (including Summon Gargoyle) for peak damage windows. Ensure smooth rune and runic power management while keeping AoE and all major cooldowns instantly accessible via modifier keys.

Core Rotation Includes:

  • Raise Dead – Ensure your ghoul is always active.
  • Outbreak – Apply and refresh diseases on your target.
  • Festering Strike – Generate and maintain Festering Wounds; extend disease durations.
  • Scourge Strike – Burst Festering Wounds for primary single-target damage.
  • Death Coil – Main Runic Power spender; use to build Shadow Infusion stacks for Dark Transformation and react to Sudden Doom procs or high RP.
  • Dark Transformation – Empower your ghoul at 5 Shadow Infusion stacks; maximize uptime.
  • Horn of Winter – Use for Runic Power and raid buff when nothing else is available.
  • Plague Leech – Use when Outbreak is available and you have 2 depleted runes for extra resources.
  • Plague Strike – Use only if you need to reapply diseases and Outbreak is on cooldown.

Modded Keys:

  • Shift = Death and Decay (@player) - Instantly drop D&D at your feet for AoE or wound bursting.
  • Ctrl = Blood Tap - Instantly trigger Blood Tap for Death Rune generation at 9+ stacks.
  • Alt = Summon Gargoyle - Trigger your major burst cooldown at the optimal moment.
