Guest machine gun build

I feel for you there.  I would usually use obliterate at opening to consume my runes asap and maximize the triggers of Frozen Pulse (incoming 7.1 change is a good buff for it too).  then just leave it with the usual rotation seen here afterwards.  At least that is how I envision the machine gun build would be (go gcd capped  and keep your runes consumed always and avoid Icy talons from falling off for the fun of it)

As for the Icecap vs Avalanche, its still the quantity vs quality debate.  Would still prefer icecap for quantity on this one for more uptime of str/frost damage bonus is hard to resist.

Closing note perhaps you can also add to wait for full stacks of razorice before popping Sindragosa's Fury

Anyway looking forward very much to the changes whether if it will overtake UH this time around hopefully.  Judgement day is coming Terminator: Rise of the machine gun build will hopefully a hit... pun intended

It's still very early and we'll see how things pan out with actual raid performance, but currently, UH is still beating Frost in ST early sims.

I think the frost spe spe exceed the unholy dk come with Wednesday's maj. 
Great potential in multi who will complete a single non negligible up after 
I'm wrong and can be spe unholy dk remain ahead as always ^^

Currently, the first sims released show Frost losing to UH again. This might change in the logs after the patch however, so keep an eye on it all.

I currently use the spe unholy dk cert which is more powerful than the frost burst in but 
I could test the spe spe currently frost frost is really powerful on the target multi 
but did not further on between mono 50k and 80k of gap. 
Having also bring up the look by Maj mercredie I could see a big increase in multi damage 
but also with mono and obliterate frost hits. After it did on paper.

I don't get why the guide says that you need to watch out for Rime Procs but the rotation soed only include Frostscythe.. there is no obliterate so there are no Rime Procs

I believe it is there due to the chance of people taking the Obliteration talent, if they wish.

The guide will most likely see an update shortly to reflect all the possible class changes. I have already reported the problem with Obliterate, it has been noted and hence why we have added the note about renewing Frozen Fever.

Obliterate has now been added to the rotation, further to reports of it being missing. Thanks for letting us know everyone!

This is intentional. Currently, you should ignore the Rime procs.

Please note, the entirety of this build is still VERY new. It was already undergoing testing to see what performs best and the latest changes have only added to the work required.

As of right now, ignore Rime and follow the priority. Please keep an eye out for future updates in case things do change again.

Just wanted some clarification. Since obliterate is on a higher priority than frostscythe, if we have 1 full rune and we took frozen pulse, should we wait for another rune to do obliterate or frostscythe so all runes are on CD assuming theres no km proc? Or is obliterate there simply because it uses 2 runes so we can empty our runes as quickly as possibly?

I love the build, this is what I was using before the hotfix as well, it just seemed to hit harder after spending some time on the dummy. I think this plus the buffs are going to at least put frost in a usable state again =)

You spend the rune immediately on Scythe due to Frozen Pulse.

Fingers crossed that it can perform in the raid. The initial sims were slightly depressing!

Frostscythe and Glacial Advance? Are you guys serious? I would suggest my fellow frost dks to find another guide, or better yet find the best comb themselves.

You know, i followed this post more like a guideline when legion launched, about stats and talents. When around 840 i started noticing that the "rotation" was messy and extremelly weak, going for 230-50k single target. Changed a few key talents, rearranged my stats and rotation, and a bam. A burst of 500-600k and 320k end, maybe a bit more on non-moving bosses.(Numbers are from EN normal) And that was before the boost.

Hi there!

I'm sorry to hear that you feel that way. I'd love to see your superior build demonstrated in a few logs, please feel free to post them here so that myself, our writers and our moderators can take a look.

I look forward to seeing this excellent build, it sounds like it's going to be game changing for Frost DKs everywhere!

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

    • By Starym
      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
