ONLY Blood Death Knight M+ Guide You Need For TWW

[@Damaardk]

Quick note not mentioned. when bone shield charges are consumed they shatter and do damage via Shattering bone talent (this is one of your biggest damage outputs) so cooldowns that consume bones shield like Tombstones benefit from this immensely because you consume 5 of them instantly however make sure when you consume tombstone specifically you are standing in ur DnD because it will triple its damage. Also make sure you use Tombstone and Bonestorm after you've used dancing rune weapon so you get the cooldown reduction to drw. Another note is Gorefiend's grasp can also work as a small defensive. Since you're pulling all enemies, they all gain the debuff from Subduing Grasp which reduces damage taken by enemies you've pulled by 5% (not much but its not nothing)

man being a first time wow player since umm 2007,(yes im old af) this guide has really helped me clean up my spells and really dial in on my blood dk build! All the other go to sites are almost info overload!! Very well done sir! You have gained a new sub without a doubt, and I look forward to future content!

[@yattayayfications]

At around the 2 minute mark you have one tiny (nitpicky) error: Deathstrikes heals always for at least 7% of your max HP. Even if you have not taken any damage in the last 5 seconds.

[@droptheshiv4796]

About to hit 80 on my Blood death knight and you drop this! Perfect timing. Many thanks for what you do for the WoW community!

[@JrXie82]

I was so struggling with playing DK right until my friend told me to see the rune as energy and the rune power as combo point for rogue. I actually made an WeakAura to mimic the rogue UI. Then, I suddenly realise the class somehow.

[@BV_Athena]

Is your WA available somewhere? Struggling with the resources too

[@Oceans_ai]

Played a lot of DK and this is just so backwards to me.

[@stevenharkey5256]

One thing to note: dancing rune weapon creates additional weapons that ALSO mimic some abilties and the effects they create -- notably blood boil and soul reaper. When pulling a large pack, you can pop rune weapon, blood boil, and vampiric blood together, having 3 stacks of blood plague on a group of mobs provides a huge shield through Umbilicus Eternus. Time an additional blood boil to go off right at the end of dancing rune weapon to reapply 3 stacks of blood plague and maximizing uptime.

The second Death Strike will heal you for 7% of your health. So, using his water-in-a-glass example, after a Death Strike, the glass isn’t empty; it still contains 7% water

[@Paulie81]

Nice guide. Just notice that you can't get stacks of bone shield by using Abomination Limb before start timer for m+. One tip: Death Grip also works as extra taunt even if you can't pull a mod.

[@TheEdguyFreak]

^ This was looking for this exact same comment. I did pop Abo Limb, was wondering why it didn't generate any Charges, watched video - got confused. Since the introduction of the new hero talents (especially since San'layn isn't worth playing) i need to track my Boneshield charges better. Sometimes i can't keep up the 5 Stacks. Then there are times where i have 10+ and need to use marrowrend for Exterminate because Deathbringer is coming off cooldown...

[@Rohan_Trishan]

Very informative! You always do some good guides that covers the important details and includes tooltips and gameplay footage, which is great. Keep up the good work and helpful tips!

what are your thoughts on the recent blood DK patch regarding San'lyn; increase in damage...BTW, thanks for the video

[@combat195]

I haven’t finished the video yet but when talking about the change to death strike you said if you use them back to back without taking damage it will heal you for 0 but the tool tip says minimum 7%. So does it heal you for the minimum 7% even if you take 0 damage?

[@oguzhankantarc7301]

7% + damage taken% I think he ment 0 healing for the bonus.

[@ruliojones4056]

Yes, I believe the second Death Strike will heal you for 7% of your health. So, using his water-in-a-glass example, after a Death Strike, the glass isn’t empty; it still contains 7% water.

So I like the guide. It’s comprehensive, but as a kinda newer blood DK I really need a video showing how to do big pulls and live. Big pulls easily kill me in 2 globals if I’m not doing everything right.

[@dustson]

i wanted to get into blood tank for a little as an off spec. my thought process is that i am a tank and i would rather take a single target stun instead of soul reaper. it is only good for single target.

[@Iloveidiots1]

What type of second keyboard do you recommend to manage all the key bindings here?

[@retu999]

DKs have a new talent that allows you to dispel harmful magical effects with AMS, which means that you do not have pre-cast it anymore when cheesing magic effects. It makes your AMS CD 20 seconds longer, so maybe blood doesn't want it?

[@Pharnox32]

Yo, every guide assumes that you always know when to pre-enable AMS in which fight etc. But imo starting the expansion with so many fights to remember, I would trade it with Vestigial Shell

[@retu999]

@@Pharnox32 Hey! Thanks for the input! I know that you are supposed to know when to pre AMS, but through out the expansion there have been some effects that you can't reliably pre AMS (you can't know if you're the target) so you theoritically waste your AMS. I have no idea about the specific mechanics of the new dungeons, so hard to say.

[@Pharnox32]

@@retu999 Yeah I agree, for me its about the mindset, we are not proactive tanks like prot, we tend to react to situations, AMS breaks that for me and I also love to have answer for everything, ex: stun?-IF, fear?-LB, root?-WW, debuff? -AMS! It feels like I have more agency than clinking on the mobs cast bar

[@retu999]

@@Pharnox32 My first thought was that for a tank it's more important to mitigate magic dmg as often as you can and use the AMS to cheese when you can. I've always been a dps DK who mainly plays raids and I've been praying for this effect to come back :D (It was a frost Dk artifact talent called "mirror ball" in Legion, if i remember correctly).

Hey Quazi, I am using your ClassWA and i realized that the Reapers mark isnt shown in the Roation Bar, are you going to add it or do you think it is not neccessary?

[@quaziiwow]

At this point in time of recording, the reaper mark weakaura had some bugs - but it’s been fixed since. If you use use the latest string, it will have a glow reminder that the mob is in excecute range. I do think it’s worth having as a reminder (:

[@kiduh1750]

Any tips/guide on how to get all this into keybinds? not sure if i even have enough fingers to handle the rotation

[@BenJonesart]

Soooo many damn buttons now sigh, feels like a different class now and not sure for the worse or better overall. You really have to pay attention to your bone shield charges now with the addition of bonestorm, using bonestorm and tombstone in the same pull is almost a no no unless you have dancing rune weapon up. Its pretty sad with sanlayn being pretty much unplayable when comparing it to deathbringer, as ive been playing around with it a bit in heroics using a fully loaded vamp blood build and it just doesnt do anything noticeable. Blood beast barley spawns and a good chance it spawns as the pack is nearly dead and vampiric strike does very little damage and/or healing. Such a good waste concept at this point. Remember that with the lower haste, your rune generation is a lot slower than in previous patches and seasons so make sure you take your time in using your rune spending abilities and dont be afraid to use Gorefiends as a quick "i need bone charges NOW" button. I wouldn't bother with the silence right now since the grip itself works nicely for as an interrupt stop to avoid getting giga nuked by several casters in one pull ( Im looking at you Priory) just remember grips are stops, not interrupts, so casters will start casting again after the pull. Group friendly AMS is bananas and gets over overlooked so much but with all the curses, dots and spells going on in this expac, your party members will give free shirtless hugs for it even though they wont notice, though it can go to yours and others pets since it just picks people near you not just "group members" near you.

[@smh7461]

Tbh, there are way too many spells that just overcomplicate the spec. I remember playing bdk back in BfA, it was great.

[@Pouloririri]

so death caress is no longer used at all other than when you are at range and can't use anything else? in DF you used death caress outside of DRW to build stacks even in melee

[@AykutAmca]
