Previous Frost ChangesFolata GelidaArma LetalePilastro di GhiaccioSerie Omicida

Disintegrazione and Assalto del Gelo are now single-target only buttons, with Falce del Signore del Gelo and Avanzata Glaciale taking their place as the primary AoE buttons.

Assalti Fendenti no longer causes Obliterate to cleave. Instead, it now buffs Frostscythe when Inverno Spietato is active. Unholy Ground is also gone, so we have no reason to use Morte e Distruzione rotationally.

Attivazione Runica has been entirely reworked into a medium cooldown off-GCD ability that we weave into the rotation. It now provides a Arma Letale proc and Runic Power to give us an on-demand tool to control our rotation.

Brina 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 Arma Letale than to ensure that the Rime proc was not wasted.

Soffio di Sindragosa 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 Arma Letale or Brina. The gameplay feels like the previous version of the spell, but it is now decoupled from our Runic Power economy.

Furia del Dragone del Gelo 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.

Sterminio no longer has a chance to reset Marchio della Mietitrice and instead grants Arma Letale.

Spend procs: Every talent build relies on Arma Letale empowered Disintegrazione/Falce del Signore del Gelo as a primary damage dealer. Brina gives Frost a free filler in Folata Gelida, and it always stays important due to the cooldown reduction granted through Volontà Vincolagelo.

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 Rigenerazione delle Rune. 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 Attivazione Runica effectively: Using Empower Rune Weapon is simple. Use it to avoid casting Disintegrazione/Falce del Signore del Gelo without Arma Letale, or to avoid reaching maximum charges. The Rune spenders are weak when used without Killing Machine, so Empower Rune Weapon is key to avoid "wasting" a GCD on a weak button.

Horde: Pandaren currently performs the best because of the value from Metabolismo Efficiente. It should be noted that Races providing Primary stat buffs typically fall off as expansions go on, so factor that into your decision-making.

Alliance: Nano Ferroscuro wins hand down for offensive and defensive value gained from Sangue Infuocato.

This isn't really a guide... its a changelog

Commento di Ballagorn

Legion Frost DK was much better then is in BfA T-T

Commento di Vavalgia

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.

Commento di DarkCrimes

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.

Commento di WoW0

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.

Commento di ToneMasa

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

Commento di Disseid

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"
