How To Play Frost DK In The War Within

[@shanenewton1257]

lmao i just started a frost dk today. got to lvl 70. started war within. watched an old video from this guy on how to play it better. then here we are on the same day and hes releasing an updated guide on exactly what i need right now. perfect timing

[@BREAKocean]

Sometimes the stars just align

[@metalmach1ne748]

I love this guy, switched from warr to DK

[@RuijsNL]

Really like the way you structure the guide and show the passives/spells as they are mentioned. Great guide and video!!

im not even gonna play Frost dk. i just enjoy your guides.

This is a must have for any Frost DK. Great info!

[@yia187]

As a new dk main (picked up the clas last week) this guide has helped a lot thanks for putting out a guide so early into the expansion. Hopefully we'll get a unholy guide soon 🤞

[@Anonemous.MoonGuard]

Been playing with Glacial Advance talented in, and in regards to Icy Talon stacks I've noticed after killing a pack and having excess Runic Power still you can actually just send a stray Glacial Advance at nothing and "maintain" your Icy Talon stacks that way if the distance between packs is too far.

[@Bicepspump]

Yeah thats a good tip!

[@OiiBruv.o7]

Super awesome guide, well structured! The only thing missing is the talent tree, I'd love to see it and i think It's vital piece of infomation that others would also like. Thank you!

[@Sinned016]

Great guide, had a few questions about the order of the opener and this cleared it up.

[@TheKobool]

Gonna get a good addon to keep track of razorice stacks, D&D timer and pillar timer. DW oblithetare is so much fun. Thanks for the guide. Cant wait to the m+ videos

Found an add on yet? I’m looking for the same thing.

Frost DK feels so good now. I always hated having to play around the Breath, making sure to be capped on resources before popping it, manage them so that it last as long as possible and having to wait for the cd. Now you just go in and Obliterate everything.

[@iknow3335]

no one like that style, similar to shadow priest insanity. Now is much better.

That’s how it was before breath was introduced. Killing machine procs for days.

Plus reaper is insane. Like 4-5 mil Crits lol

[@vralmanuel]

I fell in love with Breath during SotFO but I get how the different rhythm isn't very appealing.

[@Sammysapphira]

Yawn. FDK without breath is just a lobotomized fury warrior. Breath is the best and most interesting class mechanic they've ever added to DK.

[@aethr4291]

Ty man, just recently getting back into the game. Leveled a druid to 80 so far and been leveling a warlock, but decided to try out a frost dk and w/ your video it's the most fun I've been having so far. Made it super simple to pick up for me, respect

[@GhlyMasta]

Even doing the rotation properly, I feel like I’m often teetering the edge of having no resources, or sometimes having no runes when I have bad RNG. Everything else feels great, but the resource strain is tough sometimes

[@Onlytheclouds]

Empower rune weapon is good for those moments

[@aethr4291]

Ik this comment is a week old, and I'm currently leveling so this may not be useful for level 80, but to help speed up the opener I'm using this macro --- (used after the spells before in the opener ofc) and it really helped with resources. If anything it's hard not to overcap sometimes, obviously it slows down during the main rotation but yeah, maybe this could help :) #showtooltip Pillar of Frost /cast Pillar of Frost /castsequence reset=5 Empower Rune Weapon,null /cast Raise Dead /cast Howling Blast

Would love to know/learn the reasons in more detail into why you want to skip spells while inside Pillar window , just to make things a little more clear . Great video as always , thought i knew about my fdk , clearly i am still a noob .

[@jackhudson938]

Because spending a gcd on an ability that doesn’t spend or build a killing machine proc is a waste inside pillar. In your pillar window you want to build/spend as many KM procs as possible.

[@colehoughton550]

Hi - great video, very helpful. Question for you - Does dual-wield weapon with shattering blade do more damage for AOE & Mythic+ vs. Two-Handed Weapon with Glacier Advance (which one will give you higher dps for Mythic+)? And should you always run Glacier Advance if you have a two-handed weapon?

[@Bicepspump]

Dual wield is looking best

[@jonoxis]

@Bicepspump Hey, I need your help. I'm really nee to Frost DK and generally I like the play style a lot. But I feel like there is too much downtime or the resources generate to little/slow. Now I don't now if this is intended or if I'm doing something wrong (or maybe there aren't enough stats at the moment), but it just feels of... Should you generally press every global (and without delay) a new ability or is this downtime ok? Please help me out here :)

[@iknow3335]

my little suggestion on next guide that the way naguura presents can be as a reference. She provides deep dive of all M+ scenario. if single target, then which rotation is top priority if multiple target, then if 2-3, ur rotation is if 4-5 your rotation is if nore than 5, then your rotation is. also suppress using blah blah blah even it pops ok, then repeat the above but this time, your using CD, and during this window, what u should do due to this, i get my first 3000 as a balance druid back in shadowland. that was a great mindset even when i apply to other char. i will explore the above way to max my dmg and efficiency in m+

[@Bicepspump]

Thank you!

[@anotherbbsr]

Hey Biceps! I checked your guide and I'm currently not sure when to fit in soul reaper in my rotation for dw obli. Is it worth keeping it or is there another talent that makes more impact?

[@Bicepspump]

It's barely worth to use honestly. Use below 35% health when you have at least 3 Runes

[@thegreekgeek7113]

hey great guide thank you. Little confused by one part. For ST, do you want to use Frost Strike at 5 stacks OVER a normal Obliterate without Killing Machine? Or do you want to use normal Obliterate and use those runes.

[@Barrikz]

Been playing Frost dk for about a week now definitely one of my new favorite specs. Are there any weak auras I should have to be tracking anything? I only ask cause Warrior uses one for bloodthirst and it helps out a lot. So, I'm asking to see if there are any weak auras that would make the rotation easier to do. Thanks for the video Bicep great help!

You can find lots on wagio. My set that you see in the video is a twitch sub perk

[@homeig-2234]

About the breath rotation. On other resources I saw, the advice was only to press the Rime procs above a RP threshold, else keep spamming oblits. In the video you mention pressing it when its up. Do you stand by this?
