How To Play Unholy DK In The War Within

[@Airugarion]

Mr.Pump out here making sure I show up on the charts in my raid group, love him

[@Andreisomkereki]

Tysm for the guide, been seeing so many builds and guides flowing around but you’re always the go-to for unholy

[@ArthurPessoadeSouza]

Bicepspump is never late. Nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to

[@gnaulten1253]

Haha that was a awesome comment

[@kirychan1226]

As someone who's swapped from blood to unholy to try to be better for my raid group, this was extremely helpful. Thank you.

[@velocity863]

bro saaame lol

[@KidofEarth1]

You made me pick up unholy back in shadowlands. Greatly appreciate the guide

[@BauerTheGolden]

I love Bicep pump! you have helped me so much with my DK that i love so much.

[@Kayvax0331]

Thanks! I just recently picked DK back up after a few years as a primary alt and the spec is pretty engaging and fun! Thanks for the guide to help improve! :)

[@EverydayDesigner]

Thanks easy digestive. I been hunter forever but finally wanted to try dk

[@slootiusd8425]

Thanks Biceps. Love to see a video about how to improve and set yourself apart from other UDKs. Thanks

[@SupimBryan]

Been looking forward to this video. Thank you!!

[@ronis241]

Just started playing unholy and been watching you videos, it has helped me a lot, thanks 🙏

[@jtb91394]

Thank GOD, I have been waiting for this. I reluctantly switched to frost, but miss UH

[@deadman0315]

He already made one

[@Resurrection824]

@@deadman0315 You are correct my bad, Thank you.

[@Xaintdk2000]

I approve, and this is how i play.. Avagering 800k overall in most M0 dungeons at 585ilvl. It will change, once fewer mobs are pulled, where i believe Frost will pull ahead in higher keys.

[@marcelmfa]

Surprised about very few uses of festering strike. BTW, thx for this video.

[@ScottWilliamsIV]

Appreciate the video. I would love to see a video talking about which talents are lower value that you can change for specific situations like two-target cleave on Silken Court or pure single target vs. mostly single target with a few adds.

[@MrGreyScreen]

Seriously appreciate your videos. Drilling down to simplify the main core rotation to be 3 buttons is very helpful, thank you for that. Please do make that guide for M+ for unholy! I'd love to give that sweet defile aoe damage a go :)

[@emanl84]

The true beginner (me) can’t use vile contagion properly. That’s why I swapped it with Pestilence which subtracts me an additional button but still grants acceptable dps in pugs for a casual like me

[@Suweembah]

thank you so much for this guide bro!

[@KalenorMachander]

Yeah, Bicepspump online again! Welcome back!

[@andychilds575]

Been waiting for this!

[@RafHussar]

Been playing frost for more DPS but there is just something special about UH. If it gets better for raid than frost id switch for sure

[@Blazin2H]

Thank you insta like. Could you do in-debt guide for san and rider? Eventually? your the few YT’r that gives unholy guides. Can’t find a lot

[@Bicepspump]

Plan is to create more guides yes

[@kalasmournrex1470]

Apocalypse currently bursts 4 wounds even if the target has one. It is most optimal to use with 1 wound. Check your festermight stacks, it works. It’s unclear if it’s intentional or not.

[@Bicepspump]

Could you be more specific please?

[@fefeb0]

Good to see you back dude, wanted to ask how far behind unholy is compared to frost in raid, is it worthy?

[@Bicepspump]

Looks pretty close so far

[@Blutschrei86]

Thanks for this detailed Video, helped me alot! Iam just curious, do you know if "Unholy Aura" buffs the Damage of your Riders/Blood Beast aswell? Iam trying out a Pet Based Build and it feels like strongly underperforming.

[@ai_serf]

i'm leveling an alt, about level 40 right now running around doing classic quests in Retail, and i'm playing around with Frost vs Unholy. i use details and a few fights with different mobs seeing what DPS I can dish out... It's fun, i'm not sure what is better yet.. lots to experiment with and learn, and by the time I hit 80, maybe the talents will realy differeniate them.

[@EpicPrellTime]

Awesome guide. Will you drop a m+ specific guide as well?

[@Bicepspump]

@@EpicPrellTime that's the plan yes

[@nahuelu3322]

As always, the unholy goat.. Btw what's the aura you are using to track the buffs on you ? on the left side of your character plate

[@Bicepspump]

Those are my Weakauras, twitch sub perk

[@imkevinhoff]

@Bicepspump You mentioned the M+/advanced guide. When are you thinking of dropping that vid? Thanks for the hard work as always.

[@Bicepspump]

We will see, not too much time atm I'm sfraid

[@imkevinhoff]

@@Bicepspump Understandable. Thank you for what you have done.

[@AlexSpieslechner]

i feel like they made uh dk unnecessarily complicated without fixing its issues

[@Cappa-WoW]

Thanks for your guide, it really helps. So epidemic is >= 3 targets?

[@jayt8115]

What’s the add on to track your temporary buff proc countdowns? Directly to the left of your player frame

[@Thomo316]

What is the preferred hero talents for m+ and raid? Frost or blood. Cheers for the vid

[@Bicepspump]

Frost it's deathbringer

[@adams303]

Do you have a weak aura or addon you recommend for tracking festering wounds - I always get lost as there’s like 20 debuffs on each mob

[@eodyn7]

go for the one made by Kraken Latte.

[@willmakk]

Great video, used the previous one as a reference to roll DK this expansion, couple questions (or maybe I missed it): - If Dark Transformation (+ Unholy Blight talent) is on CD, is it worth manually applying Virulent Plague to 1 or 2 targets? - Is the Pestilence talent a good replacement for Vile Contagion? Maybe it's just me but I find it awkward to time in real environments as it's tough to find the "ideal" moment to cast it (number of mobs keeps varying or stacks aren't high enough or other priorities etc etc...).

[@Bicepspump]

1. Depends on talents. With nothing boosting diseases it's not worth 2. Yeah its fine, less setup

[@handlebarz9]

Does your pet also despawn when you fly with skyriding?

[@Mikero78]

Biceps, would you say that the builds in this video are good to use currently?

[@Bicepspump]

@@Mikero78 yes

[@Mikero78]

@@Bicepspump I see multiple builds on WOwhead. DO you recommend the rider builds for Raid and Mythic? Would you use Mythic for Raid bosses with adds or is there a Raid MT build?

[@mr.mk.7395]

Great video! Do we want to play Unholy over frost for raiding?

[@mint7388]

it feels like in TWW that our rotation feels wayyy slower than DF. im guessing its because of lack of haste in lower ilvl gear but man, even with lust the gcd just feels like it takes forever than what it used to

[@Bicepspump]

Def impact of low ilvl gear

[@sbadboy7584]

Maybe unholy assualt not giving haste anymore?

I’m new what do I do with all the random letters for the talent builds in the video description? Do I copy & paste somewhere?

[@MHummel914]

Mained Unholy in Cata, now playing frost in WW but thinking about going back unholy… any thoughts on what everyone is playing and why?

[@Bicepspump]

Mostly frost tbh, but I think I'm sticking with Unholy

[@Zexia23]

What do you think is performing better out of frost or unholy in m+ and in raiding i am finding it hard to chose between them, both are very fun and I’m getting gear for both specs

[@Bicepspump]

They look pretty close in raid, in M+ I think frost has an edge

[@Zexia23]

@@Bicepspump it seems rider of the apocalypse is performing slightly better over deathbringer, do you know what spec your going to main yet?

[@varyktv]

when you're running superstrain in m+, are you just target swapping to spread FWs? I like the vile contagion/defile build because of how easy it is to do big packs, but I hate how lackluster my boss damage feels

[@Bicepspump]

No target swapping no, you rely on talents and CDs to spread wounds

[@pm_tv]

when do i use festering strike in M+?

[@Bicepspump]

@@pm_tv only with festering scythe procs, or in single target

[@_Varaste_]

For single target, is it worth building up wounds or can we just full send scourge strikes without them?

[@shadowfall33]

With the 2 tier set bonus, is it better to run raise abomination or army of the dead?

[@gentle_singularity]

Man they really need to rework San'layn lol.
