Frost Death Knight Cheat Sheet Frost Death Knight Changes in MidnightNew Abilities

Previous Frost Changes凛风冲击杀戮机器冰霜之柱血性大发

湮灭 and 冰霜打击 are now single-target only buttons, with 冰霜之镰 and 冰川突进 taking their place as the primary AoE buttons.

顺劈打击 no longer causes Obliterate to cleave. Instead, it now buffs Frostscythe when 冷酷严冬 is active. Unholy Ground is also gone, so we have no reason to use 枯萎凋零 rotationally.

符文武器增效 has been entirely reworked into a medium cooldown off-GCD ability that we weave into the rotation. It now provides a 杀戮机器 proc and Runic Power to give us an on-demand tool to control our rotation.

白霜 triggers from Frost Strike and Glacial Advance now. This change breaks up a toxic loop where Obliterate would proc Rime, but it was more important to Obliterate again to spend 杀戮机器 than to ensure that the Rime proc was not wasted.

冰龙吐息 no longer continuously drains Runic Power and is on a 90-second cooldown. It starts with an 8-second base duration, which extends every time we consume 杀戮机器 or 白霜. The gameplay feels like the previous version of the spell, but it is now decoupled from our Runic Power economy.

冰霜巨龙之怒 now has a 90-second cooldown and stuns enemies it hits. has less of a talent tax to pay now; however, for Frostwyrm's Fury is taken more for an AoE stun than for its raw damage, which is now relatively low.

破灭 no longer has a chance to reset 死神印记 and instead grants 杀戮机器.

Spend 杀戮机器: Every talent build relies on Killing Machine empowered 湮灭/冰霜之镰 as a primary damage dealer, either directly or through added effects such as 杀戮效率 or 历久弥坚.

Cycle resources effectively: Frost has two resources, Runes and Runic Power, which co-exist within a positive feedback loop of one another. Spending Runes builds Runic Power, and spending Runic Power restores Runes through 符文强化. By spending both without waste, we can keep them in balance and ensure we can always cast something. Neglecting a resource can result in downtime due to insufficient resources.

Use 符文武器增效 effectively: Using Empower Rune Weapon is simple. Use it to avoid casting 湮灭/冰霜之镰 without 杀戮机器, or to avoid reaching maximum charges. The key to playing Frost well is ensuring that you leverage 霜缚意志 as much as possible, as the Rune spenders are weak when used without 杀戮机器. Make sure you spend Killing Machine aggressively to avoid wasting procs.

Horde: Mag'har Orc is the best choice for the powerful cooldown it gives in 先祖召唤. If you do not have Mag'har Orc unlocked, Blood Elf is a solid pick for increased Critical Strike chance and resources it grants through 奥术敏锐 and 奥术洪流, respectively.

Alliance: Mechagnome provides the most raw DPS with 战斗分析. The best option that does not require unlocking an Allied Race is Draenei for their 英雄灵气.

Why force bos on us? I don't like bos it's slow it's cumbersome and restricts movement. Float like a butter fly sting like a bee that's how frost dk used to be we could dance around the enemy with our obliteration build or move on to another.

Bos is sooooo limiting once you pop it you can't move its awful, but saying that some people like it so instead of making bos the only go to build how about giving us an obliteration build too.

Ok cool but why would you play frost when you could just place the superior Undead Dk instead

While using a 2-hander engraved with Fallen Crusader, Glacial Advance still does apply Razorice. Possibly 2H specific? But you don't necessarily need the runeforge applied.

yes Frost Death Knight needs a little 2% bump in damage using Two handed Weapons. I would go about it in another way. I would add it to the obliterate ability explicitly.

评论来自 ToneMasa

You should correct the races for DK. Void Elf is on the Alliance side, not Horde.

The weakness stated as:
"Target-Switching - Due to long set-up and ramp-up times for our single target damage, we have trouble changing targets on the fly."

Unholy DK's yeah I agree but as Frost what build up? only thing that comes to mind is rune of razorice debuff but that is passive anyway, I don't see why I wouldn't be able to "change targets on the fly"
