Keep it up always enjoying watching new videos for wow it's always so interesting

[@DuckKnuckle]

Thanks Hunter!

[@sudharshan416]

Great video! Would be nice if you could use the addon that shows your button presses so we can see your rotations to learn.

[@DuckKnuckle]

Thanks for the feedback! I'll make sure it's up and available for the next video

[@alans8489]

nice video my guy, is that a Custom made WA Class pack? or is it Publicy available? do u mind sharing it looks really good

[@DuckKnuckle]

Hey thanks dude! It's the DK class pack that Quazii made. I modified it to my liking though to keep the wound and scythe tracker static. I've split it into 2 packs and 2 trackers. The first pack only shows up when inside instanced content (delves, raids, dungeons, etc), and the other shows up outside of instances but only when in combat. The 2 trackers are for Festering Scythe stacks and when you have Festering Scythe available Here's the import codes: docs.google.com/document/d/1jz4Q0LJAg2jESkPwgI_ajH47omIzbeAEMAMJ17ogZSI/edit?usp=sharing

[@monevkurenai]

Unholy is so sick, what WA tracker are you using?

[@DuckKnuckle]

Yeah dude I love playing unholy. WA tracker is from Quazii, but I modified it to hide a lot, as well as moved the Festering Scythe tracker to the top and kept it static so it's easier to track

@@DuckKnuckle hey man love your videos!! I wanted to ask if you could help me out a bit. I stopped playing WoW after MoP, been back about 2 months now and maining a frost dk for the first time. Been really enjoying TWW in general but kind of meh with frost spec lol. Unholy is just such a cool class fantasy; dk should be this big monster warrior with a big 2hander and unholy damage, AKA the unholy spec right now. Frost is dope but idk, it just doesn’t feel like a dk to me for some reason. I think the whole rider hero talent thing also takes the class fantasy to another level!! I want to switch to unholy but it’s just so overwhelming. Learning as you level is one thing, but switching specs months into being a different one and having to learn EVERYTHING at once is just… too much lol. Could you advise some things to help me learn? Or possibly provide some help yourself if that’s not asking too much lol? I’m also worried because even with frost (a super simple spec) I was still learning new things and improving MONTHS into being max level. I feel like even if I switch to unholy and do “well”, I won’t be elite. Bleh idk what to do lol. I’m currently 630 ilvl (can’t find a mythic raiding guild 😢) and 3034 raider i.o rating with a mix of M+13’s and 12’s timed. Sorry for the long comment lol, but I’ve tried all the online guides and helpful pages but I just feel like I csnt get good at unholy after being frost for so long :// Thanks for your time in reading this, and keep up the amazing work!!

[@DuckKnuckle]

@@DropBear_42 Hey man I'm so glad you've been enjoying the videos! I've been playing wow for almost 18 years at this point, and I've mained UHDK since wrath, but I'm still learning new things about the class as they make changes and introduce new gameplay mechanics like hero talents. I'd say for unholy, all you want to make sure is that you keep your diseases up at all time via Outbreak (but they also get applied to all enemies around you when you use Dark Transformation), apply your wounds with Festering Strike (to a max of 6), spread them with Vile Contagion if specced into, and then we burst those wounds with Scourge Strike or Clawing Shadows (these are choice nodes in our talent tree, so you'd always have 1 or the other. Never both), or Apocalypse (if specced into it, which you pretty much always will be). For AOE, we'd also put down Death and Decay or Defile as this increases the number of targets our Scourge Strike hits up to 7. When it comes to our CDs, right now we have nice synergy as Dark Transformation and Apocalypse are on a 45sec CD, and Raise Abomination, Unholy Assault, and our on-use trinkets are on 90sec CDs. This means every 45sec we have a big damage burst as our CDs align. Lastly would be our defensives, Anti-Magic Zone (AOE defensive), Anti-Magic Shell (self), Icebound Fortitude(self), and Death Strike for self healing. Our opener would look something like this: Raise Abomination -> Dark Transformation -> Combat Pot -> Unholy Assault -> On-use Trinket -> Apocalypse After that we'd maintain our wounds with Festering Strike and burst them with Scourge Strike/Clawing Shadows. If we're facing a large pack of enemies, I'd put down Defile as this spreads our wounds to multiple enemies, and allows Scourge Strike to burst the wounds on up to 7 of those enemies at the same time for increased damage. Also bear in mind that unholy is very stat dependent. We need a lot of haste and a lot of mastery to feel good to play. Stat priority would be Haste > Mastery > Crit. If you've got any other questions, don't hesitate to ask. Always happy to help out wherever I can! Cheers

[@Shimuruu]

I really like your UI, how can i get it?

[@rybr3ad]

Most higher lvl players use ElvUi which can be downloaded easily with WowUp its a Ui addon that is very customizable

[@DuckKnuckle]

Thanks dude. It's a mixture of Dominos for my bars, Shadowed Unit Frames for mine and my party unit frames, Plater for nameplates, and some WAs. I'm not able to export a Dominos profile unfortunately. Below is a pastebin link with all the import strings available. Just triple click anywhere in each import code to copy the string, as they are quite long: pastebin.com/JGMPK6k4

[@Shimuruu]

@@DuckKnuckle Thanks alot! Sorry to bother you, but could you link your UI string? (The edit mode ui export)

[@DuckKnuckle]

@@Shimuruu Oh sorry dude my bad! I've updated the pastebin to include the Blizzard UI string -> pastebin.com/JGMPK6k4

[@DJK827]

Well my unholy DK is only at 622 def not at the top of the charts like that though. Def like some of your addons like the timer and bosses on the right side. Also is that dbm or wigs?

[@DuckKnuckle]

Are you running the scythe build as well? It does take a bit of getting used to (at least for me), but it hits hard. ST damage is slightly reduced though. There's also a new build I need to try out that incorporates Apocalypse now as well with the 11.0.7 patch. As for the timers, yeah that's just DBM. Moved the bars to the left side

[@DJK827]

@DuckKnuckle na i never tried scythe build i should I figured it's just made for big aoe pulls 🤔 def should get some more insight from you

[@Pushhgg]

@@DuckKnuckle can u link the new apo build? :D

[@DuckKnuckle]

@@Pushhgg Yeah of course dude! Still messing around but this is the one I'm trying at the moment: CwPAtbMOTHlnKIwUyAn+DK70SDgZGjZMmZsMjZmZmGGmZMjBAAAAAAAAwwMjZMmZmBAsBmFjZmZmZmZAbmFDDZgZjhGLAwMA

@@DuckKnuckle hey i am beginning to play unholy rn what build would you recommend for m+? :D

[@omgnowairly]

I guess they’ll have to nerf warriors again.
