Seeking help with the damage

[chaotiix03 0]

Hi im new to the forums but i been a long time reader. So i been having trouble adjusting to this unholy spec from frost. i have read thru most of the post but i feel like im lacking something in my rotation. During the raids i feel like i fall short compared to everyone else. Any advice would be much appreciated thanks.

Just a quick look at your gruul fight, only one prob i can see.

 

Use FS to extend NP enough for UB to come off cooldown again. You seemed to be doing the old festerblight rotation of keeping the same diseases up for the entire fight.

 

Apart from missing one or two soul reapers it looked good.

A: I loved that TCG, managed to get ranked in the top 150 in the world online :D

 

B. In general you are doing pretty good. You want a higher uptime on necrotic plague, strive for the 90% and above. Next want to get a lot more scourge strikes and soul reapers in to maximize your damage. Almost seems like im sending mixed signals right? After the initial pop of unholy blight you only need 3 festerings in a row, to boost your disease beyond the point of UBs CD. Once there focus all death runes on scourge strike. You want to festering the absolute minimum amount as possible to keep up disease and transform runes. The same rule applies to your kill phase. The second the boss hits 45% soul reaper is your number 1 priority, you wanna poop out as many as possible. 

 

So all and all good just need some fine tuning on ability choice at given times :D

i would say u need alot more pratice with necroblight, case you missing on alot of damage

 

Beastlord darmac was the only fight i looked into, and you didnt use a single BB and only once you used DnD, also you missing alot of SR.

 

SR is an ability you will want to use no matter what else, when target is below 45%, in this fight you have 4 main targets where to use them the 3 beast + darmac, 5 if you do this on mythic and on mythic you can start SR Darmac before he call his last beast

Can you please explain that? NP default duration is 30 seconds from the moment when UB starts ticking. FS adds 6 seconds to NP duration. UB has 1.5 minute CD. If you use FS only 3 times, there will be no disease for 42 seconds before UB is ready again: 90 - (30 + 3 * 6) = 42. It looks like 10 FS are needed to keep NP up between UB casts. Am I missing something?

I think he was referring to Festering Strikes used with Death runes.

Its a high movement fight so DPS will be lower. Did you log it?

i tried two different talents the ub + np and pl + defile and trying both it seems having pl + defile simplifies everything but my questions wit the np spec what do you guys use during the down time waiting for the diseases to fall off? and is there a way to maintain the 15 stacks or do you always have to rebuild it?

You should spam SS on UH and Death runes whilst waiting for NP to drop, but still use FS on frost and blood pairs. The only way to keep 15 stacks up would be to use FS on death runes which would be a dps loss.
