Unholy would be very difficult for boxing because you need to manage a fair bit more than you do with Blood or Frost.

I would focus on abilities that are 1 Rune in cost, and then using a macro to set your camera view with a static position so that you can cast Death and Decay.

I'll need to grab my macro's from in game in a bit, but I'll come back to the thread when I get in game tonight.

I set my husband's UH DK up with a 4 step macro


/castsequence reset=target/3 Icy Touch, Plague Strike, Festering Strike, Scourge Strike, null
/cast Dark Transformation
/petattack



/cast Festering Strike


/cast Scourge Strike


/cast Death Coil

I don't need HoW because I have an ENH shammie providing Str+Agi through Strength of Earth Totem. Festering Strike increases his disease duration, so that never seems to drop. DnD is dropped manually when he thinks of it, but his DPS without it still outpaces all my DPS.

Yeah i know, I usually just go in AV.. They dont even realize im quad boxing :)

So your going for 5 deathknights? Unholy? Whats your goal or what ever..?

[Cookiebo]

Im blood spec atm..my goal is just having fun, doing pvp / arena / instance what ever i feel like... im one those players who go bezerk in something for a few months, then take a long break.. and go berzerk in something else.. right now its wow multiboxing heh.

[icey]

lol... kinda like me, had a long break from multiboxing now..
2 reasons boosting my deathknights was boring and my harddrive had a retard-moment..

What specc do you enjoy the most? :D

The current DK mechanics aren't really that hard for boxing.

A rune refreshes roughly 5 seconds after you use it.
If you're in Unholy presence, then abilities have a 1 second GCD.
Other presences they have a 1.5 second GCD.
And you'll occasionally do Runic Power dumps, also on a GCD.

Ideally, use all your runes, as a 1 Frost + 1 Unholy will hit harder than a single rune ability.

Probably four moves that use runes, with a total of six runes to be used.
Try to have the Frost and Plague diseases up all the time.

Then use Death Coil as your runic power dump.

Also have the ability that spreads diseases as a hotkey.
Could put it into your rotation if you like; single targets will die fast irregardless, so it won't hurt.
