Frost Death Knight 7.1

Recommended Posts

Guest Llewllew

Are there any guidelines on secondary-stat break points yet for frost? I ask this because it's possible, with the right Baleful gear, to really heavily stack stats. My DW kit could have me sitting at 54.5 percent mastery, which seems like it's getting into the ludicrous zone.

As far as Baleful gear goes, and reciving a 2h instead of 1h weapons, it's still the same as rolling for bonus loot during MoP. You have a chance of getting a 2H sometimes, that's just how it is. All you can do is set your loot drops to Frost and hope for the best. Even if there was a 1h Baleful armament, you would still have the chance of a 2h Baleful armament dropping, so it wont change the rate of finding the weps.

While I do agree, getting a piece you can't use is a pain, it's been the same since then - Just like getting a piece of gear with incorrect stats, it's just a roll of the dice. In all honesty it's better to go for (and probably quicker than grinding Baleful weps) to get the items though different means. With a catch up cap you can obtain 700ilvl conq items, mythic dungeons, even the honor weps will sort you out in the process. Even grinding some raid finder would put you in a better position. Glhf.

Just figured I'd mention it.  On fights where you don't really use IBF and don't need an extra 5yd radius for BB, Glyph of Runic Power might be a DPS increase if there are a lot of movement impairing effects, for instance on Mannoroth. And for movement heavy fights with adds, Swift Death can be useful, although, generally speaking, you should be able to get more dps out of the other glyphs.

Why is it part of the rotation to wait for two Unholy runes to cast Obliterate?

You don't have to wait anymore with the nerfs to the tier, use Obliterate with your Unh runes for single target and use HB for cleave and aoe, Use Obliterate on 2 Unh runes  when cleave/aoe.

For single target you don't have to wait, for cleave/ aoe use Obliterate only when you`re about to cap the Unholy runes.

So on Icy Veins they are saying to put Rune of Fallen Crusader on the mainhand and Razorice on the offhand... and then on Simulationcraft it is saying to do the opposite?  What are you guys finding to be the most effective?  Also I am finding that the majority of my damage is coming from howling blasts and not frost strikes on single target encounters... Am I doing something wrong? (Looking at Simulationcraft 1H -Frost for 705 ilvl - Also keep in mind I do not have the full tier set ).

It really doesn't matter how you enchant them. Regarding the single target Frost Strike should be doing more dmg especially if you use it  with Killing Machine.

HI

 

This is probably a daft newbie question, but why is it preferable to proc KM on frost strike rather than obliterate?

 

Thanks

Because Frost Strikes hits harder and you want to use your runes preferably on HB unless you have Unholy runes. You can Obliterate with KM if you don't have Runic Power for FS.

Just to completely understand the Obliterate deal in DW....So I only OB when I have both Unholy runes, but I am only doing one OB? I am assuming so only one unholy run is down at any given time because of how rune regen works? I was waiting for 2 unholy runes and then doing 2 OBs, which was making zero sense to me....

Use Obliterate with your unholy runes  or when  KM procs but you don't have runic power for FS.

Don't have sims but considering nothing changed  for DW  you can probably go with  what you have listed.

The trinket bis list does not consider the Gronnoth War Horn heirloom trinket. I am trying to decide which would be a dps increase the heirloom trinket or Horn of screaming spirits(HC). Can anyone comment on this?

Hello guys, keep in mind that this guide is for pre-patch only and everything can change at any time. Also gear list right now isn't accurate, i'd try to put a *BiS* these days. Special thanks once again to TheQ, Mini from Midwinter, Bantesaurus from guild Enigma and the IRC Death Knight community of #Acherus for helping me out with the Frost guide.

      🀠(Author's introduction)🀠

      Introduction: Before I begin I want to clarify that I am an old explorer and curious connoisseur of these players who dedicated their lives for years to a style of play within WoW, known as WoW F2P, I want to clarify the doubt of who this person is and what he came to represent and what he continues to represent today for level 20 communities, looking for information and more information I can say that this is the summarized result of this player known as Saruski, also known by other nicknames with which I will also be willing to better summarize this matter.

      πŸ‘€ (What were the beginnings?) πŸ‘€

      Beginnings: Saruski started playing WoW around 2012 or 2013, but officially dedicated herself to the F2P playstyle in 2014.
      She has videos on her YouTube channel where she talks about her early experiences in WoW F2P, including her time in the Alliance and later joining the Horde. These videos provide some insight into her beginnings in the game and how she became involved with the F2P community.
      πŸ‘€ (What's it called?) πŸ‘€

      Name and character: Saruski, whose real name is Andrea, is a recognized figure in the World of Warcraft (WoW) community, specifically among players who play for free (F2P).

      πŸ‘€ (What is it known for?) πŸ‘€

      Pioneering the F2P community: Saruski founded and led the first international WoW F2P community on the Blizzard app. This provided a central hub for F2P players to connect, share information, and organize groups.
      Advocating for F2P players: She has been a vocal advocate for F2P players, highlighting their achievements and contributions to the WoW community.
      Creating content: Saruski has created videos and content to share her knowledge and experiences with the F2P community.

      πŸ‘€ (What does Saruski mean for WoW F2P?) πŸ‘€

      Community building: Her leadership in creating the first international F2P community helped to legitimize and unify the F2P player base.
      Inspiration and representation: Saruski has shown that F2P players can achieve a high level of play and contribute meaningfully to the WoW community.
      Education and guidance: Her content has helped many F2P players learn the ropes and improve their gameplay.

      πŸ‘€ (When did he retire?) πŸ‘€

      Retirement: While Saruski retired from WoW in 2020, her contributions to the F2P community remain significant. She is remembered as a pioneer, leader, and advocate for F2P players.
      Saruski, a prominent figure in the WoW F2P community, while no specific reason was publicly stated, she did create a video titled "Wow Saruski Official F2p: End Of Story | 2013-2020 (English And Spanish)" which you can find on YouTube.

      πŸ‘€ (Final summary) πŸ‘€

      Summarizing: There are many players today who deserve high recognition, but it could be said that Saruski is the most well-known player and the one who marked a before and after in WOW F2P, given her career in the game and on the internet some people call her the legend of WOW F2P, but there is nothing official to call someone like that, therefore that is up to each person's discretion.

      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)

      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that β€œEye 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 β€˜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

      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.

      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.
