Keep in mind that stacking multiple IC traits can change how you use BoTE and CH. If you have 3x, then only BoTE @ 5 seconds left on PoF, and CH during your IC stacks. With 1-2 just use CH during Pillar of Frost. Timestamps Talents - 0:37 Stats - 4:46 Azerite - 6:50 Trinkets - 8:35 Essences - 9:57 Corruption - 13:08 Rotation - 17:07 Advanced Tips - 20:47
Breath is really strong and fun to play, but our damage output is quite low outside breath window. I thought corruption gears can make up our damage for it a little bit. Then I found out that other classes or specs benefit a lot more from corruption gears than DKs do.
I've just switched to frost from unholy, but every raideri.o I check people are running crit haste. Is there another guide you could make for FDK? Also has anything changed with the rotation?
I’m trying to pick up my dk alt since we can get r3 essences from our mains on reset. Which of the two specs is better for raid and easier essences to get?
Might be late but frost is objectively better right now if you can play it right. It only loses to unholy in carapace, however it's easier to get bis traits on unholy and easier to get bis gear in general.
great guide tho! i love to play frost and i deal good dmg but when i look at warcraftlogs there are people that deal so much more dmg its crazy.. do they swap traits and essences for every boss? so they get the max out of the dk everytime?
So this is an older video and I dont know if you will see this, but I just swapped to my DK from my rogue this tier and trying to avoid the pug world for trinkets from last tier. What trinkets from the current tier would you suggest? (Including dungeon trinkets) I am currently running a 460 vita charged and a 475 humming dragon scale with a socket
Should I hold my cold hearth to last second of pillar or 6 second last in pillar cause of the blood of the enemies 5 second crit damage buff Also should I hold my breath 15 seconds to get 3rd pillar off or is it better to not delay breath and hold pillar + is dreams end axe from EP still worth using or should I get a higher ilvl one
Use cold heart as late into pillar as possible, because you want to have to get as much bonus strength as possible. I typically font when there are about 15 seconds left on my pillar CD, then pop ERW/BoS and use pillar+2nd trinket as it comes off cd during breath. On single target, with not much target swapping, yeah dreams end is still really good. But in most situations a 460 ilvl weapon will be better.
Hi Hyper! thanks a lot for making this guide. I was just wondering you mentioned that Mastery is our most powerful stat. But for some reason whenever I sim my character, it always tells me that mastery is my worst stat and instead to take Crit (1) and Haste (2). Any thoughts?? Thanks!
Sims tell you what stat you should go for based on you have. If I had to guess why crit/haste is simming high for you, it's because you're running very little of those stats.
Yeah I will. Was going to do it this week, but our prog took an extra reset where I had to play my mage so I don't have UH footage. Will most likely be next week
U Just macro as usual. But have to hit It again after the gcd, no way around here, but since it's really unoptimal. I personally sugest u Just use Two buttons to avoid mistakes.
Unholy bangs. Only reason I didn't play it more during prog was cause my reforge cost was too high, but if I could go back there would be 1-2 bosses I would play UH on besides hivemind
Man I just got benched because frost isn’t preforming so I’m going back to to where I should have stayed UNHOLY I recommend it to everyone... No tank is going to ever stay still long enough for frost breath. Idk some times class can be good then their not at all I hate this concept makes me wanna just play a DH
What about weapons? Servant Splitter and the axe from mechagon that has an effect instead of stats. I presonaly prefer the stats If I don't have font of power but got a badge should I macro it with pillar of frost and breath?
I hate corruptions... i feel like my gear at 460 is complete garbage without them. The difference between the right gear and just good ilvl gear is massive. Why the hell is my 440 item with a corruption better than my 475.... complete trash

I just realized I missed an edit haha, you guys can probably spot it. Its in the corruption section
As always buddy. A superb video which helps noobs like me keep up with the better gamers. Cheers dude
Wow, great video. You showed me why my dps is shit- my rotation was all jacked up. Thank you!
thanks alot for all the good info even tho you’re in the middle of the raid progress but still find time to make a guide really appreciate it👍🏻
Thanks for the Guide! :)
Awesome discussion!!

Very good video!! Just wondering, which wear aura are u using?
What's the Macro called with PoF and BoS ?
Love the guide, great work! However anything for us who loathe using breath?
Play the icecap build. Cold Heart, Murderous Efficiency, and Icecap. Stack crit/haste. Not exactly ideal, but still does pretty decent damage
NIce vid! Which one do you think is better this tier unholy or frost?
For early progress Frost felt better, but once you're decked out with corruption and high ilvl azerite Unholy is better on a few fights
would it be possible to do an ice cap guide ? i mean i love frost BUT I HATE BREATH
how did you do 90k dps
What addon do you use to put your action bar, health bar and runes etc in the middle of your screen?
Combination of Weakauras and Elvui
i say it again... FROST IS BACK!
it is back? it has been the best spec for the entire expansion, only being challenged by UH in 8.3
Dont play the game anymore, but I still watch these :O
I've just switched to frost from unholy, but every raideri.o I check people are running crit haste. Is there another guide you could make for FDK? Also has anything changed with the rotation?
The reason people are running crit haste is because they are playing the Icecap build. I will be making a guide on it soon. (Hopefully this week)
can you do an icecap guide?
hi nice video, is there a way to get ur UI / weakaura i really like it
Create please mythic + icecap build pls bruh
I’m trying to pick up my dk alt since we can get r3 essences from our mains on reset. Which of the two specs is better for raid and easier essences to get?
Might be late but frost is objectively better right now if you can play it right.
It only loses to unholy in carapace, however it's easier to get bis traits on unholy and easier to get bis gear in general.
Mallooki thanks man
great guide tho! i love to play frost and i deal good dmg but when i look at warcraftlogs there are people that deal so much more dmg its crazy.. do they swap traits and essences for every boss? so they get the max out of the dk everytime?
Absolutely, if you're mythic raiding you should swap your build for every boss as needed.
Hey Hyperion, this is just what i was looking for! I was wondering what addon and config are you using for nameplates
Hey, I just use ElvUI. Simply made a few changes and chaged the texture
what are the add ons to make his interface look this way
What's your interface?
So this is an older video and I dont know if you will see this, but I just swapped to my DK from my rogue this tier and trying to avoid the pug world for trinkets from last tier. What trinkets from the current tier would you suggest? (Including dungeon trinkets)
I am currently running a 460 vita charged and a 475 humming dragon scale with a socket
For frost, old trinkets are mandatory unless you play icecap. It sucks but the new trinkets are just bad
Where did you get your WA at for Frost? Having a hard time finding an all inclusive one for Frost and Unholy combined...
Made it ;) My weakauras are avaliable to twitch subs, if you're interested
i know im late to the party but do you use frost scythe during breath or do you instead go for obliterate even on aoe?
Recommend to use obliterate cause it gives you so much runic power and BoS makes more dmg than scythe
What addons do you use for your UI. That one that shows you the cold heart cooldown or the rune power left would be helpfull for me
ElvUI
Should I hold my cold hearth to last second of pillar or 6 second last in pillar cause of the blood of the enemies 5 second crit damage buff
Also should I hold my breath 15 seconds to get 3rd pillar off or is it better to not delay breath and hold pillar
+ is dreams end axe from EP still worth using or should I get a higher ilvl one
Use cold heart as late into pillar as possible, because you want to have to get as much bonus strength as possible. I typically font when there are about 15 seconds left on my pillar CD, then pop ERW/BoS and use pillar+2nd trinket as it comes off cd during breath.
On single target, with not much target swapping, yeah dreams end is still really good. But in most situations a 460 ilvl weapon will be better.
Hey bro how I can switch mi UI to play the Dk? I mean you have your resources and de buff so clean I wanna that :D
My UI is only available for Twitch subs through my discord server.
Frost is so fun but so weak I still play it tho
whats your headset ?

Thnx for the guide really good job. Just a tip, don't forget to take care of yourself, you look tired af
Thanks, yeah its been a grind past 2 weeks. I'll rest once N'zoth is dead haha
would you consider holding cold heart after pillar if you are running 3 icy citadels?
Yes, with 3x IC if they're heroic ilvl or higher you want to bote at 5 seconds on pillar and CH during IC
You planning on making one for unholy as well?
Yeah I will. Was going to do it this week, but our prog took an extra reset where I had to play my mage so I don't have UH footage. Will most likely be next week
Hi I'm waiting for Unholy also. Thx Man
Thinking of coming back, how is DK
DK is pretty good right now. Around mid-pack melee
I currently play unholy. Is it worth the change over to frost to regear or is unholy still stronger?
Play whatever you like better/have better corruption for. Both specs are about equally strong on the majority of the bosses.
hey brotha im trying to figure out the best way to macro the bosg and pillar but they are gcds so whats the best way to go about it ...
U Just macro as usual. But have to hit It again after the gcd, no way around here, but since it's really unoptimal. I personally sugest u Just use Two buttons to avoid mistakes.
I just have pillar and bos macrod together, and you just need to wait until the gcd is over to press it, because BoS is not on GCD but Pillar is.
Hi bro, could you share you weak aura please ? thank you for your very good videos :)
Hey, I have them up for twitch subs in my discord.
Hello hyper! What do you think about unholy in this patch? I think it is better than frost, dont you? Waiting for the guide about unholy =D
Unholy bangs. Only reason I didn't play it more during prog was cause my reforge cost was too high, but if I could go back there would be 1-2 bosses I would play UH on besides hivemind
Would UH be viable for Mythic Carapace and Nzoth?
@@thepk3433 I don't know about N'zoth quite yet. But yeah I can see it being decent on Carapace, just not on the same level as Frost.
Which death knight spec had Arthas as Lich king???
Parvan Todorov all 3 into one
why am i here i dont play frost i play unholy
What is that addon right on enemy bar ? addon shows spells
Not sure which addon you're talking about. I use weakauras, elvui, adn big wigs boss mods in this video.

Surprised you didn't mention Vial of Animated Blood
Vial is also good. Badge is just better at equal ilvl
What about weapons? Servant Splitter and the axe from mechagon that has an effect instead of stats. I presonaly prefer the stats
If I don't have font of power but got a badge should I macro it with pillar of frost and breath?
If you are only using badge then yeah macro it to breath. I definitely suggest going for stat weapons, none of the green text weapons are super good
I hate corruptions... i feel like my gear at 460 is complete garbage without them. The difference between the right gear and just good ilvl gear is massive. Why the hell is my 440 item with a corruption better than my 475.... complete trash
Yeah, the corruption system makes ilvl pretty much irrelevant, except for corruptions that scale with it (like infintie stars)
I love frost, but its all about breath.. without breath i rather play unholy.
Breat of sindragosa is what make this spec fun and engaging imo.
it s ΥΠΕΡΙΩΝΑΣ in greek
Thanks
This is fantastic, but it's still a bit above my paygrade. I need an even more dumbed down version lol.
Day 1,264 still no 2-handed Frost.
you're very cute^^....I love your eyes....and your videos are good as well :)
