How To DK 1 - Frost Dual Wield Rotation by Hartayke Frost DW DPS Death Knight

[Zelrenful]

i waa so talking about warcraft RTS lol

[Rawcows]

THE SONG

IS

SO

ANNOYING

[chaplain327]

ADAM KULT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Zelrenful]

when you need this much shit on your screen to play a game its very broken lol. Blizz needs to bring "real" warcraft back at least that required more than 3 buttons to play lol

[spencerb720]

@Zelrenful You don't NEED the addons, it just helps the game and makes it easier to play, plus will most of the time help you be better at it.

[Zelrenful]

@spencerb720 to be competitive yes you do, second people will kick you outta raids if they find out that you dont have either healbot or bossmods...third it provides such an extreme advantage in even the most menail tasks that to deny yourself the use of mods would drasticaly increase the amount fo time you need to grind or find rare mounts/pets. its not so much that the game sucks , because i think its preety good, but still it lacks refinment in its user interface.

[az09256]

@Zelrenful Kidding me? "Blizz needs to bring 'real' warcraft back" ? Dude in vanilla mages were known as those who could one shot with pyro, and shamans those who could burst down with one button. You almost only could 2-5 button down a guy, (except a healer then)

So nowdays it's much more buttons to press.. Just check warlocks. btw it's just funnier with less buttons. Many buttons makes you stressed and confused, And low amount of buttons to press does not mean less skill.

[ulkord]

your interface is very .... strange

[Haburkanka]

the song in the begining is so epic but later its OK

[scar296700]

Umm wtf is he in blood prz the entire time ? fail !

[bigbird2007]

@scar296700 you fail coz blood presence in wotlk was the dps and frost was the tanking presence... gg

[raregastraar]

@ everyone pulling more dps and using outbreak to refresh

this is over a year ago wake up

[TheBkpower]

mine dk is dual spec blood 7-10k DPS unholy 15-20k DPS UNHOLY THE BEST !!! ONLY TAUREN/UNDEAD DK !!!! FOR THE HORDE !!!! ALLY ARE NOOBS !!!

[SILENTSATELITE]

@TheBkpower You're an idiot.

[BuRnInGxMaGiC]

@TheBkpower That might b true my horde friend, but what ive learned over my past encounter with bg's, they seem to still together unlike some of us.

[h4l03rul3z]

My DK is Frost X-wield, and he pulls 13k-15k dps xD

[nec646]

this is the basic starter rotation he showed against the target dummy at start, so, instead of using IT and PS , you can use outbreak, which inflicts the target with both and costs no rune

[nec646]

BS?

thanks.

Dump => repeat?

[jecajucajoca]

don't u think that's better the rotation IT->PS->Oblit->BS->FS->BS->FS?­

[bigjon7188]

where do you get the cool display

[CorghVosc]

My spec is

WoWhead /talent#jcZhbexAMczc0chzAofM0h­xM:kasM0V

I don't use Glyph of Howling Blast, so I have to reapply IT and PS even after a Rime. But that's me.

[CorghVosc]

...use Plague Strike after a Rime Howling Blast doesn't understand the need of fluidness in Frost DW spec.

[CorghVosc]

I agree completely with this video, I'm not much for learning rotations from other people, I'd rather teach myself through experience; makes the game more fun that way. MUCH MORE. But, again, I agree completely, everything you said I believe can apply to 3 weeks ago right before I stopped play for my recess. I understand completely why you chose not to use Plague Strike after a Rime Howling Blast; I do the SAME thing, cause that means 1 more Obliterate than otherwise, and anyone who says...

[benj9902]

what is the addon that shows the dps and crits on the right side of him?

[ProjaliLN]

This video is from 3.2 (Ulduar/ToC). Frost DW refreshes diseases with pestilence now (glyph of disease).

His intro priority is the same, though.

[unholydude101]

what dose dump mean u put bs*2->dump?

[princeofemo369]

I cant find your character on armory and I wanted to know your spec

[Deepsixeden]

What up Hart. I enjoy your vids, I myself am a successful frost dw dk. I make lots of videos but im still amateur. I would like to know what technique or program that allows you to zoom in on a particular spot while recording, or im guessing its during video editing. Everything else I know how to do, recording, layering, text, transitions, but never figured out how to do the "zoom" effect where you zoom in on a certain part of the video. Any input would help a lot.

Nhystel - Darrowmere

[Deepsixeden]

@Deepsixeden btw. i am in the same mindset as you are with the single disease rotation, using HB and the glyph to keep FF up. not many agree with this build, but i am able to blow away others with a much higher GS than i am and they always ask me whats my rotation or what are my stats. So i can vouch for the HB single disease frost DW build, it works wonders for me.

Nhystel - Darrowmere

[kathleensbpsf]

great clip. have some of you fellas checked out the wow cheats pack at warcraftbotsXinfo (replace X with .) ? it is amazing, i recently downloaded the pack. it's got totally everything inside it, gold guides, bots, hacks, glitches and even the new arena glitch. i probably shouldnt reveal to people about this but at least it gives you all a reasonable opportunity to dl it before i pwn you all

[1RaceTheHumanRace]

@ZaZzinator allright thanks alot. might just stick to my unholy offspec till i find some 1 handers.

[1RaceTheHumanRace]

I had to modify my spec a bit due to lack of 1handers but is the dps difference really that signifigant whether i use 1handers or 2handers with this rotation?

[ZaZzinator]

@1RaceTheHumanRace NEVER EVER use a 2hander for Frost DPS. And tbh this guide is outdatet atm, you should now keep all your diseass up all the time. Not doing so is a DPS loss.

[Lilleen98]

thanks the video helped me alot :D

[xpl0ckx]

where to get good 1h weaps ?

[pivotkidsidewinder]

FROST DW DK FTW!!!!! i prefer the HB (with glyph) > OB > BS > BS > dump (frost strike w/ glyph)

THEN

OB > OB > OB

or, HB > OB > OB if rime procs and AoE is necessary

i like this rotation :]

[hugodaisy11]

Whats first song?

[ScabbyCrab]

Ah! I knew something looked wrong with that Death Knight; it's a gnome!

[tahtry]

nice vid ! can u just tell me how do your spells are ready so fast after each other ? thx

[TheBloodshotFilms]

How to dk: mash buttons, doesnt matter what button JUST MASH!

[monisu]

dude dont use so many short word like PS couse half of that i cant folow lol and now i cant folow the rotation XD

[EasyChaCha]

@monisu

The info in this vid is now obsolete. Go where this guy and every other good DK get their info, the Death Knight forum on elitistjerksDOTcom. Read the first post of the thread corresponding to the type of build you want to use. Want to DPS in frost? Read the first post of the frost dps thread. Simple.

Seriously this vid should be like 10 seconds long: "How to DK part first and last" "Go read elitistjerks" "use tellmewhen(or a similar addon) to keep track of your procs"

[WoWBattleTunes]

any1 know the name of this song... Its NOT Radiohead - Everything in Its Right Place i already checked :D so please if any1 know send me a message

[stxlandil]

Frost dps is fun, it plays similar to an arms warr with proc watching.

[Treyownzyou]

@aosinju yes it does have a good range, but im just going by the numbers i ran...PS then IT gets me A LOT more DPS...but to each his own...IT opener good for tank i suppose

[Treyownzyou]

wouldnt it be smarter to open like this instead?: PS-IT-BSx2(procs death runes)-OB-FS dump?

i say PS first becasue assumoing you specced imp. icy talons, your IT gets a 15% dam. bonus to targets with a disease. and im only a 75 but i got deep frost for HB and im 53/13 as of now.

[aosinju]

@Treyownzyou beacuse IT have a range?

[TPxJM]

whats the first song?

[jonisen96]

Isent blood better ? For dks?

[ewinjo]

@jonisen96 blood dps is low at 80, unholy is most commonly used, but I use frost, and imo frost owns unholy, but thats my opinion:)

[Celrage]

the beeping at the beginning killed my ears.

[tbtctd]

what is the song name

[nikyrich69]

@tbtctd Shut your mouth- PAIN

[tbtctd]

song name?

[krokvad]

which song is played in the end?

[Kh3m1kal4k1llah]

Dks ruined world of warcraft

[wowmaster252]

can some1 tell me the name of the song pls?btw nice vid

[w8aminforme]

what are the addons you are using?

[SweUsers]

what is the song called which is played in the end?

[L0b0timiz3r]

my rotation is nothing like yours, granted my gear is a lot better than yours, i pull about 11k DPS on saurfang and it's less of a head ache =D

good job on the vid tho =)

[rangek0z]

naRB FROST HAS NO RATION ITS PRIORTY DOTS B4 KC FREZEEING FOG HOWLING BLAST OTHER THAN THT OBL AND BLOOD STRIKESSS

[blksable777]

No offence, the video is great. But, balance the music. It's very distracting and condusive to your assistance. Not bad music. I would rather hear commentary instead. Thanks for the video.

[mplanter13]

where can i fint this song on lime wire or itunes? ive been looking for it

[thekatana09]

What UI addon are you using? I'd like to get it.

[WoWBlix]

whats your talent build... looks like it owns

[dotsxster]

Frost spec is kinda like a aoe dps spec as long as the enemies are in front of you you can pretty much will own the dmg charts but on single targets its good also throw in DnD just to up ur dmg u will lose ur runes for a little bit hopefully u speced in to having the 30 extra runic power points the frost strikes should ur source of dmg since u have all that runic power.

[TheDaethKnight]

i have ever most dps mit meele

[warrsor92]

consider your gear.. you kick azz^^Keep it up

[baggeghfreak]

now in 3.3.3 GoD is better cus it refreshes you icy talons ;)

[skyl3r123]

Comes*****

[skyl3r123]

@blkdragon87666

For all melee the hit cap is 8%

Not sure on expertise cap thow but that ces with gear and u spec into it as frost

[baggeghfreak]

single is 9% dw is 28%

[fucingpwnz0rz]

yeah have fun wasting all your gems gemming for the hardcap

[crazyflipcarlo]

what is your AOE rotation?Do you open up with HB?

[blkdragon87666]

Hello, i'm also working on a Frost DW DK, I have a rotation down and can pull at least 3k or a bit more sometimes and getting gear obviously isnt hard anymore, but was wondering, what would be the recommended hit rating and expertise for DW?

[deliciousbasses]

whats the dump?

like do it all over again?

[ericwow1993]

dump is when you use your runic power such as using Frost strike which is probably the best or death coil

[XakaRoyalFlush]

First of all its good to see another frost DW DK that kicks ass(on my server ppl either suck at frost are scared of it or swear that unholy is better by far) I really like this vid because you don't just post a rotation say "do this bitch" and then do 2.3k dps on a dummy and end vid..

Also thank you for confirming the priorities(i had a theory similar but needed a valid 2nd opinion) Im lookin foward to using the BS-BT-UA-BS tactic been toying wth fitting UA in a rotation and your's looks best

[Kemalishus]

Name of the song

[mimer101]

complicated:p time for me to learn a new spec:)

[sublimeknight129]

Can you do a Blood PvP rotation

[razordbladesss]

What does "UA***" mean? thx

[rage17915]

Unbreakable Armour. The stars at the end are just to denote the deviation from normal.

[perker180]

@rage17915

Rage, Can you tell me your 15/56/0  talent build..

[HansDragonforce]

Awesome video btw, but how did you make it look like you had energy on your death knight instead of ordinary runic? Is it an add-on please tell me!

[i1HITurMom]

how do u get the timers on the action bars??

[astrokittypr]

Shandarzuk

HB = Howling Bloast

[FindingUndiscovered]

Loved the ending.

[Galinge10]

Heya, nice video dude. I ounder whats the name of the addon´s in the middle of ur screen. th 1 that shows crits etc in a line and the 1 whit white,red and green colurs at left side

[Narkopath]

nice job. song name?

[lolidontneedyourape]

@Narkopath Pain - Shut your Mouth

[nos455]

hey nos455 here again :)

i went ICC 10 last night and i noticed a big difference i was pulling 6-7k steady dps !

there where major failures with my rotation as i did something wrong now i got it fixed.

TY!

[nos455]

nice job im currently unholy and i got the 0/53/18 spec as offspec thou i just cant pull as much dps as i do in unholy and i do exactly how you do it still get to max 4-5k while i do 6-7k dps in unholy..

btw what is the song? :P

[mouchat]

This is because unholy is recently buffed in 3.3 with 50/50 melee and magic dmg which helps in most situations against bosses

[flouWing]

What's the name of the addon that shows the cd on your dieases ?

[Shandarzuk]

Hey guys, what means "HB"?

[codyw130]

so when u dump do u start rotation all over again???

[arisber1]

5/5 for Frost DK. For the Horde!

[ImDexI]

@arisber1 5/5 also For the Alliance!

[WoWDK82]

IT-Pestilence-HB-dump

[bilber18]

Hello rage17915

I'm wondering if your rotation is still valid as of patch 3.3, btw Great Vid!!.

[Joker5133]

yes the rotation hasnt changed from 3.2 to 3.3

[ltdavidr]

I'm an 80 warrior tank and i dont even know HTF tovget those meters! How do i get them? :)

[Joeygemalicious]

theres no need for ps in dw frost

[TheQuincinator]

yes there is? the majority of your damage is coming from obliterate and not using plague strike means thats 12.5% more damage from it that you're missing. plus, if you use a single disease rotation, you run out of globals to use.

[Joeygemalicious]

@TheQuincinator no lol it a waste of runes , just glyph and gear for hb fs and ob and youl crush,

[TheQuincinator]

@Joeygemalicious; ill have to try your style before i say any more. it just seems if you use plague strike and replace your howling blast glyph with icy touch glyph you get more of a dps benefit and you shouldnt run out of globals as much. Another thing, my plague strike spec might do more dps with the tier 9 4 piece bonus and your spec might be better with 2 piece tier 10. i'll just have to wait to get my next piece to see ^^

[CorghVosc]

@TheQuincinator Running out of globals to use it a good thing, you want to do this cause that means you've done everything you've could have done. Next thing to do is wait for the runes to reset. That's a DK for you.

[jesseSager123]

I would say that PS invaluable seeing as OB is increased per disease you have on the target, and that is one of if not the highest damaging ability.

[Joeygemalicious]

o.o just open with hb to get your dot going turn blood runes, obliterate as much as possible , dump rp with frost strike, then just use hb when it procs for no cooldown, turn runes when necessary and more obliterate

[cippen95]

link to armory?

[MWproductions555]

I am going to be completely honest right here, I personally think that your rotation is lacking and has too much downtime, you manage to take frost strike completely out of the equasion with to me is not smart, it does a great deal of damaage, i have 354 hit rating and 24% crit so dont say im way too lacking for your rotation to work, ur 5 second rotation that causes too much downtime simply doesent work for me

[luverofredsox]

well if he does have a lot of downtime then thts on him

if hes getting a lot of dps then thts good but i do agree if ur not using frost strike then ur actually losing dps? or ur not doing as much dps as u could

[rage17915]

@MWproductions555 I don't understand what you're saying here, I'm assuming you are referring to me, though the reply thing doesn't work like it used to so it's hard to tell.

How is Frost Strike out of the equation? I can't think of a single viable Frost rotation that doesn't use Frost Strike. In the video, "dump" is FS in the explanation, which I made pretty clear. The only time it's different is if Killing Machine procs, making it sometimes worth casting FS before the end of the runes.

[virongas123]

in your video you state that you can save yourself from using IT and PS sometimes but why wouldnt you want to refresh IIT for your raiding melee?

isnt the whole point of a frost DK to provide that buff since frost does the least dmg out of all 3 specs.

[rage17915]

@virongas123

Using the Howling Blast glyph, Howling Blast refreshes FF, and procs IIT.

On a side note, If you use Glyph of Disease to refresh your diseases, it does not proc IIT.

[dragonkillaga]

@rage17915 IT/PS are additives in 3.3x frost dw is THE best dps spec for dks

[wowhuntrr]

@rage17915 it does now

[mieroku]

whats best wepons for duel wield

[HPEJuggalo93]

just like a shaman get 2 slow weapons

[kprush237]

What is your spec I know it is 15/56/0 Frost but what are the actual talents I could really use that 5k+ DPS

[bullseye1333]

@ Chaosimable

fallen crusader on mainhand, razorice on offhand

[Chaosimable]

shall I use the runeforge Razorice??? on both weps???

[TheAirJockey]

thanks this helped me out alot i really like your spec and rotation

[AkaCambron]

Hey mate Ive send a mail to you with some questions, respond plx :) regards

[Mrjcolley]

P.s i ran it with around 28% crit using the 3/52/17 tree, currently playing unholy with frost DW as my offspec

[RoidTinsley]

How much hit and crit is needed for a build like this?

[Mrjcolley]

279 hit rating + at least t8 4 peice/t9 2/4 peice

[zerocool2k6]

shut your mouth by pain

[flashdemonn]

whats the name of the song=)?

[Dom4z]

hehe ele or enh shamy pwned on last fight

[qnom10]

Du spiller ikke helt dårligt

[Larloch80]

I like it but ...

Since your IT is doing more damage on a diseased ennemy (Glacier Rot), why aren't you using PS and then IT instead of IT in first ?

[xReVoLuTiOnZx]

I find using fallen crusader on main-hand and accually cinderglacier on offhand. when it procs (and it proc fairly often) you get 20% dmg bonus to next spell that does frost or shadow dmg (howling blast,frost strike, etc..), so i get like 10k howling blasts and same with frost strike. hope this helps =]

[intubating]

Question: why aren't u using the frost+unholy rotation since in unholy u find all those auto-attack boosters designed perfectly for frost's haste. Secondly, why are you using Obliterate without having both diseases (I mean blood plague) on your target?

[gokuthebeginner]

i guess its cause of good damagae and crit increases on blood

[Guitarledgend0123]

nah the HB rotation is far superior imho to the It ps pest

[MrMoosestar]

IT PS OBLIT BS BS FS FS FS

OBLIT OBLIT BS BS FS FS FS

repeat ... oh and watch for killing machine and rime procs

[TealMilkshake]

wrong rotation and wrong glyph

[zusuky21]

sucky rotation

[golsonkp]

that wizard totally destroyed you in dps

[RikMeister650]

do you ever use howling blast?

[Friartsan1120]

whats a dump?

[korn409]

A dump is when u get rid of your runic power, so he means use anything that uses runic power (death coil ect)

[Blitzzkreigg]

@Friartsan1120 Its when you take a shit.

[MrNehoc]

What the hell is UA?

[willeex]

@MrNehoc Unbreakable armor I purpose.

[Fweadlype1]

unbreakable armor, dk's frost talent

[neiznot]

Unbreakable armor..

[deedevil63]

that looks like SCT, correct? if so, how do you make it tally the double hits. if not, sorry for the nub post

[Themma18]

what weps do u have on & how mutch dps did they have?

[HardStyleCoreLover]

Hey i play Death Knight here to any chance you can link armory..?

[Colethecon]

I want your addons!

[bebeoploki]

[igiveyoumyheartz]

awesome :P name on Song im a frostdk :P with 4k dps xD

[illTakeYourFood]

Saying the name of the spells would make you little bit more understandable. Thanks

[kidsuper123]

nice vid, how did you spec your frost? thanks 5/5

[7FarFar7]

can u say the name of the attacks not just the IT-FS....

[Hakerus]

lol

If you play DK, you know what it means ; )

[nmc400]

wats the song plz?

[job2k6]

Going w/ this rotation and spec now the past few days, I've been doing good DPS. Its odd tho because EJ and the WoW forums seem to favor frost/unholy over blood.

I have your spec however I've dropped Icy Reach and Deathchill in order to get 2/3 Virulence. Granted my hit is a good 100 lower then yours, but the spell cap is fairly high, and those occasions that HB misses are just the worst.

Do you think the 4 piece t9 would have you using 2 diseases, or even changing specs?

[job2k6]

I should also add that despite the spec and rotation being very good, it is misleading to show 5k+ dps on a target dummy that is under 35% hp. As frost we do considerably more damage to low hp targets.

[job2k6]

Very helpful video. I just recently got into playing a dk, and hes in uld ish gear. This really helped me w/ my rotation.

I like the low emphasis on blood plague in order to fire off more obliterates. Was nice to see a rotation for dks that wasn't boring as hell.
