Frost Death Knight DPS Mythic+ Tips — The War Within (11.1.0)

In this guide, we will talk about getting the most out of your Frost Death Knight in Mythic+ dungeons, including the best way to set up your character, how your rotation may change, and tips and tricks for using your abilities most optimally.

If you are unfamiliar with Mythic+ and its associated general mechanics, you can read more about it on our dedicated Mythic+ page below.

Frost Death Knight is a solid, versatile Mythic+ spec that does not need to sacrifice much Single Target to do optimal AoE. This means that we do solid damage on both bosses and trash. Furthermore, our Cooldowns come up relatively frequently. We have Pillar of Frost every 45 seconds and then either Frostwyrm's Fury every 1.5min or Breath of Sindragosa every 2min depending on what we choose. Finally, we are incredibly tanky which helps a lot when pushing higher keys.

We generally have two talent builds to choose from in Mythic. Either we pick up Shattering Blade which requires little coordination from your party. Its primary burst also comes quickly, making it useful even when pulls are short in lower keys. The alternative is Breath of Sindragosa which is your go-to option for pushing high keys. It excels in longer pulls with a coordinated group effort where it can do a ton of good damage! The fact that Breath deals more damage to your primary target enables great priority damage.

This section talks mostly about the uses of different spells. For in-depth explanations of all Death Knight Abilities and Talents, including these, check out our Spells page.

This page mostly has Death-Knight-specific tips for dealing with the various affixes of Mythic+. If you want general guides for each of our Dungeons or Mythic+ in general, check out our dedicated page below.

MDT Sim is the best way to sim Mythic+ for Frost Death Knight. It allows you to sim an entire dungeon, pull-by-pull, with appropriate HP amounts and so on. In this way, you get a full picture within a single sim, of various target counts and durations. I have created a route that I feel is a good "average" of all dungeons that you can use. Drop the contents of the Pastebin into your Raidbots > SimC Expert Mode at the bottom > 'Footer'. Detailed instructions and more info on MDT Sim can be found on the MDT Sim Wago page.
