Frost Death Knight DPS Mythic+ Tips — Midnight Pre-Patch (12.0)

Mind Freeze is your "kick" and your most important bit of utility in Mythic+, used to stop enemy casts for the benefit of the group and especially the tank. It is highly recommended to use a Focus Kick macro for this.

• /stopcasting
• /stopcasting
• /cast [@focus,exists,nodead][@mouseover,exists,nodead] [] Mind Freeze

This macro will kick your focus target if you have one, mouseover if you have no Focus target, and your target if you have neither of those.

To quickly set a focus target in hectic scenarios, we also recommend a Focus Mouseover macro.

• /focus [@mouseover]

Make sure that your UI shows your Focus Target's casts clearly so that you are always able to kick it on cooldown or in coordination with the rest of your group.

Blinding Sleet is your "AoE stop". You blind all targets in a cone in front of you, disorienting them for 5 seconds. Great way of stopping a big pack of mobs casting, especially if the cast is immune to standard interrupt.

Asphyxiate is your Single Target stun, lasting for 5 seconds. Not a very common pick in our talent loadouts, but it's still a useful crowd-control tool.

Death Grip can both be used to help group up mobs, as well as stop-cast them. Remember that you need to move the move a certain distance to actually interrupt it, just so you do not use Death Grip when the mob is already on top of you.

Death Grip is notably also a defensive ability. With Subduing Grasp, it provides 6% DR against any target you use it on. Useful when you are mitigating damage in boss fights or mini bosses.

Frostwyrm's Fury with Absolute Zero stuns all targets hit for 3 seconds. Not commonly used as a direct crowd control tool, simply a nice "extra" from a spell that does a huge amount of burst AoE damage.

Raise Ally is a combat-ress that you can use to bring a dead teammate back to life, even during combat!

Blinding Sleet, Chains of Ice, Remorseless Winter and Death and Decay with Grip of the Dead all reduce the movement speed of enemies hit, allowing us to help any tank that wants to kite the mobs.

Control Undead allows you to control an undead enemy in Mythic+. This is primarily a crowd-control tool, allowing you to temporarily control and then release a specifically difficult mob. It can also present an opportunity to do slightly more damage, as your standard Raise Dead does very little. Remember that you cannot use Raise Dead when you are controlling an enemy mob. Below is a useful macro when you need to recontrol the mob (the spell only lasts for 2 minutes)

• #showtooltip Control Undead
• /target pet
• /script PetDismiss()
• /cast Control Undead
