This is the new ability unholy death knight and pvp-death knight will be using to counter the fact both Scourge strike and necrotic strike use 1 unholy rune and leave them up with 2 useless frost rune. It also serve the purpose of saving one global cooldown as well as less chain of ice spam in pvp on your primary target anymore.

As of right now, this ability cost 1 blood and 1 frost and interact with reaping, keeping the death runes when it apply.

A new move to eat up the blood and frost runes, since Scourge Strike is now only one unholy as opposed to one frost and one unholy. Does 150% WD, 217.5% with Rage of Rivendare, and increases the duration of your diseases by 6 sec, allowing you to keep them up as long as you want (though for practical reasons you shouldn't keep them up over a minute given that's the cooldown on Outbreak). Using this twice, with Reaping, gives you 4 Death Runes, allowing for the use of SS more often, as well as making it a necessity to keep Dark Transformation up.

In essence, this, along with the change of Scourge Strike to one unholy has made Unholy the 'New Blood' dps tree, only you actually benefit from your buffed presence, as runes refresh based on haste and Improved Unholy Presence gives you an extra 5% haste (during Wrath, many Blood dps DKs chose Unholy Presence for the extra GDC reduction given all of the spamming and ignored Blood Presence and Improved Blood Presence, which had the role of Frost Presence now).

Edit #1: Talent Calc Changes

Edit #2: Updated patch info

Edit #3: Updated for 4.10

I think this will help make a dk have more moves to cast instead of pushing a couple buttons. It will make it even moar fun!

Question: If you hit Outbreak with diseases set for up to 33 sec uptime (adding Epidemic and with yesterday's build reducing totals from 48 sec to 33 sec), then immediately hit Festering Strike, do the diseases go up to 39 41 sec (or ~~37.5~~ 39.5 sec once you factor in GCDs) or do they just hit the cap of 33 sec again?

EDIT: Apparently it's been buffed to 8 sec for diseases. So the revised question is, will the diseases ALWAYS go up 8 sec, or do they just hit the 33 sec cap?

Does this ability reset your diseases? If not, if it only increases duration... :(
Edit: why downrated? Is just a question, I don't know everything...

Kommentar von Shadowmaim

I'd have to guess that Threat of Thassarian won't work with this, right?

This will likely be the method for Unholy to maintain a snare (Chains of Ice) in PVP.

It increases Chains' duration by 6 secs (maybe 8, reading above posts). As it also allows Unholy to keep up diseases for a very long time, you would use it a lot and get very high Chains uptime.

Frost will use Chilblains + Glyphed Howling Blast

Blood - I guess they don't really want Blood to be snaring too much in PVP; in order to do so you'd have to basically save all frost runes for Chains. I feel that now Chains is a constant 60% snare, the duration should be a bit longer since you have to use a rune to cast it. 10 secs would at least allow you to recharge your rune during the Chains duration and be more consistent with other snares.

This is a reverse Death Rune Mastery! Instead of Death Strike giving you Death Runes, it's Festering Strike that does it. Add 1 Unholy Rune Scourge Strikes and voila, you have your own Unholy Carpal Tunnel spec! :D The old Blood DPS spec is back! Hah!

(For those who don't remember what Death Rune Mastery was, it used to be a talent in the Blood tree -pre 4.0.1- that made your Death Strikes give you Death Runes, which could then be used for more Heart Strikes)

Kommentar von 664892

~~What?~~
Ah, I understand now, in place of 6 consecutives Heart Strikes with Death Rune Mastery, in Unholy we now have 6 consecutives Scourge Strike... OMFG + Desecration

I know that with Glyph of Heart Strike, Heart Strike also decreased movement speed, but this is an AoE, pretty god :D

Just to make it clear

Festering Strike is used as a replace for Icy Touch and Blood strike as soon as Frost Fever is active on the target, since Scourge Strike no longer costs a Frost Rune.

Frost and Blood will not use Festering Strike in their basic rotation (unless they need to prolong diseases for some reason)

Kommentar von Tripster

What I'm wondering, though, is does this increase the duration of Chilblains? Though I doubt it, I guess. That would mean pretty much an infinite root.

Kommentar von 128631

I am a little suprised at the fact that this skill is found on the frost tab of your spellbook.
It would be more suitable on the unholy tab of your spellbook since the only rotation this skill would fit in is usually an unholy spec.

Kommentar von 624455

does this affect the duration of Scarlet Fever?

Kommentar von DroRaz

Seems to have gotten a new (awesome) icon in 5.4.
Old icon was the same as Hasshieb

Kommentar von ArMeDSuRvIvOr

The new icon added in 5.4 is a bit misleading; it looks frosty rather than... unholy-y. Feels out of place in my bars as unholy, sadly =(

Kommentar von Mathayuz

Does this extend Necrotic Plague? or adds stacks?

Kommentar von 1260812

This is the only ability in the game that can increase the duration of the new talent, Necrotic Plague. It does not refresh it, meaning that it doesn't reset the duration, but it does lengthen it for 6 seconds. For example, if Necrotic Plague has 13 seconds left on its duration, using Festering Strike will increase that duration to 19 seconds. I personally believe the talents purpose is to bring back the Festerblight playstyle from mid MoP. Lastly, this ability does not add any stacks to Necrotic Plague, but Necrotic Plague ticks will still increase the stacks, meaning its very possible to maintain a 15 stack Necrotic Plague for the entire fight.

The devs told us exactly how 7.0 Festering Wounds work at the link below.

http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/20743504316?page=33#655

I'm pasting it here as they typically delete the beta forums after release.

Q: What is the distribution (2/3/4) of Festering Wound stacks?

A: Uniform.
