zombiecurse 0 Report post Posted June 2, 2013 Hi everyone, I'm currently levelling up a frost death knight. I have the rotation down, thanks to this site, but I'm having a bit of trouble with where to put obliterate. The guide here says: Cast Obliterate if Both Frost/Unholy runes or both Death runes are available (when using Runic Empowerment) OR You have 1 Unholy rune available, and neither both Frost or nor Death runes are available (when using Blood Tap or Runic Corruption) OR You have a Killing Machine proc AND you do not have enough runic power to cast Frost Strike. However, I'm not really understanding the "and neither both frost or nor death runes are available" part (bolded above). The way I'm using it right now, I basically check to see if I'm going to need to refresh blood plague. If I don't, I'll use obliterate until I'm out of unholy runes and then continue on with my rotation, trying to replace the unholy runes with death runes using blood tap. I know this isn't important for leveling, but I would like to figure this out now so I can have confidence in my rotation in raids and dungeons. Any further explanation on the conditions I pasted above would be great. Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reniat 23 Report post Posted June 3, 2013 What it's saying is "use when you have 1 unholy and at least 1 frost or death". I'll see what we can do to simplify the guide's phrasing a bit. The super simple version of it can be "use when you have an unholy rune", but the really correct version would be "Use obliterate if you have at least 1 unholy rune, BP's duration isn't lower than the remaining regen time on your next unholy rune, (DnD is on CD or you are GCD capped), there is only 1 target, and using BT or RC" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's what I thought, but just wanted to be sure. If you wanted to simplify, I think this might do the trick: Cast Obliterate if Both Frost/Unholy runes or both Death runes are available (when using Runic Empowerment) OR You have an unholy rune and any other type of rune available (when using Blood Tap or Runic Corruption) OR You have a Killing Machine proc AND you do not have enough runic power to cast Frost Strike.
