Unholy Death Knight Frequently Asked Questions — The War Within (11.0.7)
On this page, we go over several of the most frequently asked questions regarding Unholy Death Knight in World of Warcraft — The War Within (11.0.7). This will be updated as more common repeated questions surface over the course of the expansion.
How should Soul Reaper be used in the rotation when you hit 35% on the target?
Soul Reaper should be used off cooldown if the target's health is
35% or below. You can also use Soul Reaper before the target hits 35%,
as long as the target will be 35% or below when the Soul Reaper debuff
expires. It is important to save a Rune for Soul Reaper so that you can
use it as soon as it comes off cooldown!
Do I need to play around procs of Runic Corruption?
No. The procs stack on top of each other. Any remaining duration is simply added to the new one if you get another proc.
Do I need a specific amount of Haste?
There are not any real breakpoints to aim for, generally get as much Haste as you can for single target, but also trust your simulations!
