My 4x Frost DK / Paladin Setup - Based on DK Manifesto

[Ualaa]

Last Update: 27th March, 2012.

This is my set up, or interpretation of the two DK Manifesto's made by Mosg2.
Credit for discovery of the team, and a large amount of the "mechanics" belong to Mosg2.

Any suggestions for improvements are very welcome.

The PvE Manifesto was first and is a base point; the PvP Manifesto builds off of and refines the PvE version.

PvP - http://www.dual-boxing.com/showthread.php?t=34317

Another take on this - Negative1337's setup: http://www.dual-boxing.com/showthread.php?t=34986


DEATH KNIGHTS:
Prime Glyphs: Frost Strike, Howling Blast, Obliterate
Major Glyphs: Anti-Magic Shell, Hungering Cold and Death Grip.
Minor Glyphs: Blood Tap, Horn of Winter, Resilient Grip

DK Talents: http://www.wowhead.com/talent#jbhZGIorfzRdfzb:Mam0cq0Mm

DK Gems
- Blue Sockets: Stormy Ocean Sapphire (+50 Spell Penetration) [Note: Only socket three of these]
- Yellow Sockets: Resplendent Ember Topaz (+20 Strength & 20 Resiliency)
- Red Sockets: Bold Inferno Ruby (+40 Strength)

DK Enchants
- Helm (PvP Arcanum, 1,000 Honor)
- Shoulders (PvP Inscription, 2,000 Honor)
- Cloak: Greater Spell Piercing (70 Spell Penetration)
- Chest: Mighty Resilience (40 Resilience)
- Bracers: ??? (50 Strength)
- Gauntlets: Exceptional Strength (35 Str)
- Belt: Extra Socket (40 Res)
- Legs: Dragonscale Leg Armor (190 AP & 55 Crit)
- Boots: ??? (50 Mastery)
- Main Weapon: Rune of the Fallen Crusader (Chance for 3% Heal and 15% Strength increase)
- Off-Hand Weapon: Razorice (2% extra Weapon Damage, taken as Frost Damage; increases enemies vulnerability to Frost Damage).

DK Stat Priority:
5% Hit > 195+ Spell Penetration > Str > Mastery > Haste > Crit
Reforges: Everything to Mastery, but stay hit capped for Specials vs level 85's.

Weapons:
- Dual-Wielding is higher raw DPS than a big 2-Hander (Battlegrounds); a 2-Hander is larger Obliterate/Necrotic strikes (Arena).
- They will play in Unholy Presence.
- Crucible of Carnage (Cataclysm's Ring of Blood Equivalent) offers iLV 333 weaponry.
- You can also purchase up to iLV 346 weaponry on the Auction House.
- Conquest Points each week (for three weeks) should be a priority for the iLV 359 weapons.



Round-Robin's (Round-Robin within Target Group -- which is an Action Target Group with all four DK's in it)
- Blood Boil (especially good with a spread out macro), for pulling stealth classes out of stealth.
- Death Grip (also sends Outbreak to the other DK's)
- Death & Decay (1x Unholy Rune) & Blood Boil (1x Blood Rune), for stealth classes.
- Hungering Cold (for crowd control)
- Strangulate (see below)



Some keys are broadcast to the DK's only.
Most of these are Repeater Regions too, allowing for clicking.
For these, on the same keybinding I have a blank macro on the healer (Paladin), which has an icon as similar as possible.
- Army of the Dead (vs masses of enemies)
- Dark Simulacrum
- Death and Decay (x4 for mass AoE)
- Defensive Cooldowns
- Path of Frost & Cancel Aura - Path of Frost
- Raise Dead (ghoul pets)
- Runic Empowerment (refreshes all runes)
- Set Focus (for Strangulate)

Defensive Cooldowns are:
DK's - Anti-Magic Shell (damage reduction, and prevents the application of any spell with a debuff icon)
DK's - Icebound Fortitude (stun break and stun immunity)
DK's - Lichborne + Escape Artist macro (fear, sleep, charm break & immunity, plus racial root break; DK's 2nd trinket)
DK's - Pillar of Frost (knockback immunity)
Pal - Bubble (protection vs almost everything)
Pal - Hand of Protection (50% physical resistance, use after Forbearance fades while bubble is still on cooldown)
Pal - Lay on Hands (3rd Forberance triggering abiilty)
Both - DK's Trinket & Paladin uses Human racial.
I use AMS very frequently and PoF when going for Shammies or battling near edges.
The others more situationally; I might benefit from separating Pally and DK's trinket keybinds.



Strangulate
Based on two mapped keys.
Setting Focus (DK's A & B, on press 1; DK's C & D, on press 2).
Strangulate at Focus (DK's A & C, on Press 1; DK's B & D, on press 2).
Effect -- Two different targets are focused, both are Strangulated on the first press, and both are Strangulated on the second press.

I have three "Spam" DPS Sequences for the DK's.

I have created a mapped key, for each of the DK's moves.
Because they're mapped keys, they can be individually enabled/disabled via a Keymap Action > Mapped Key State Action.
(I have a toggle to enable/disable my Death Coil; it is very nice to use when opponents are out of melee range, but is far less damage than Frost Strike).

Mapped Key: Keybind Name
Hotkey: None
Step 1: Action > Keystroke Action > Send Keybind to Warcraft

Then go with Spam "x" Release:
- Action > Do Mapped Key Action > Keybind One Name > Target: Group (all of) DK's [The DK Action Target Group]
- Action > Do Mapped Key Action > Keybind Two Name > Target: Group (all of) DK's
- Action > Do Mapped Key Action > Keybind Three Name > Target: Group (all of) DK's
- Etc



Here are my three spam keys:

Spam "1" (Press)
- Slaves assist the Master
- Do Mapped Key - Mind Freeze - All DK's
- Do Mapped Key > DK Howling Blast > Target: The DK (Action Target Group).
- Sends IWT to toons in the Melee Group.

Spam "1" (Release)
- Do Mapped Key > DK Howling Blast > Target: The DK (ATG)
- Do Mapped Key > DK Frost Strike > Target: The DK (ATG)
- Do Mapped Key > DK Necrotic Strike > Target: The DK (ATG)
- Do Mapped Key > DK Death Coil > Target: The DK (ATG)
[Note: Howling Blast is the sole ability called on Key Down; on Key Up, each ability has an equal chance to be called].

Spam "2" (Press)
- Slaves assist the Master
- Do Mapped Key > Mind Freeze > Target: DK (ATG)
- Do Mapped Key >DK Obliterate > Target: DK (ATG)
- Sends IWT to toons in the Melee Group.

Spam "2" (Release)
- Do Mapped Key > DK Oblierate > Target: DK (ATG)
- Do Mapped Key > DK Frost Strike > Target: DK (ATG)

Spam "3" (Press)
- Slaves assist the Master
- Do Mapped Key - Mind Freeze - All DK's
- Sends the keybind for Death Strike to the DK's.
- Sends IWT to toons in the Melee Group.

Spam "3" (Release)
- Sends the keybind for Death Strike to the DK's.
- Sends the keybind for Frost Strike to the DK's

Mind Freeze (Mapped Key)
Four Steps
Do not advance to next step for 2.6 seconds
Sends Mind Freeze keybind to one DK on each step.

As of 4.1, Blood of the North has changed Blood Runes into Death Runes (which count as Blood, Frost or Unholy Runes); as of this change, Blood Strike has been removed from the sequence.
Meaning either an extra Frost & Unholy rune every 10 seconds or an extra two of one of those.
IE: +1 Obliterate/Death Strike or +1 Necrotic Strike & +1 Howling Blast or +2 Necrotic Strikes/Howling Blasts every 10 seconds.

[Ualaa]

PALADIN
Prime Glyphs: Divine Favor, Holy Shock, Seal of Insight.
Major Glyphs: Beacon of Light, Cleansing, Divine Plea.
Minor Glyphs: Kings, Might, Insight

Paladin Talents: http://www.wowhead.com/talent#scIbdrduubZhZf0M:maVkfrMzc
If you will "manage" your Paladin's use of Holy Power, definitely consider Tower of Radiance & Blessed Life; I would rather concentrate on targeting and the DK's cooldowns and leave my use of Holy Power entirely controlled by the two Paladin macros.
Points in Blazing Light and Denounce are optional and can be moved elsewhere.

Pally Gems:
- Red & Blue Sockets: Purified Demonseye (20 Int & 20 Spt)
- Yellow Sockets: Mystic Amberjewel (+40 Resilience)

Pally Enchants
- Helm: PvP Arcanum (60 Int & 35 Res)
- Shoulders: PvP Inscription (2,000 Honor)
- Cloak: Greater Intellect (50 Int)
- Chest: Mighty Resilience (40 Res) or (40 Spt)
- Bracers: Exceptional Spirit (50 Spt)
- Gauntlets: Haste (50 Haste)
- Belt: Extra Socket (40 Res)
- Legs: Powerful Enchanted Spellthread (95 Int & 80 Sta) or (95 Int & 50 Spt)
- Main: Heartsong (+200 Spirit for 15 seconds)
- Shield: Superior Intellect (40 Int)

Pally Stat Priority:
Spirit > Haste > Crit > Mastery



For each of the DK "Spam" sequences, the Pally receives "1" on press and "2" on release... which does nothing, unless a focus is set.

Pally 1:
/castsequence [@focus,nodead] Flash of Light, Flash of Light
/cast [@focus,nodead] Holy Shock

Pally 2:
/castsequence [@focus,nodead] Holy Shock, Holy Shock, Holy Shock, Word of Glory

If a focus is set, then alternating/spamming 1 & 2, will result in mindless healing of the focus target.
I have keys to Focus each DK or the Pally, to focus my current target and to clear focus.



The Paladin has one key for healing, for healing those outside of the group (Flash of Light).
And an assortment of click based (mouse buttons, with or without modifiers) heals.
The most used are:
- Flash of Light (Left Click, Grid Frame only)
- Divine Light (Right Click, Grid Frame only)
- Cleanse (Mouse Thumb Button 2; Button 1 is Slaves Follow the Master)


I've added a pair of Clique bindings for setting/clearing focus.
I'm using Scroll Wheel Up (Set Focus) and Scroll Wheel Down (Clear Focus).

Open the spellbook.
Click the bottom icon on the spellbook, to enter Clique binding mode.
Click the second button, "Bind Other".
Select, "Run Custom Macro".
You need to include [target=mouseover] for these to work.

Bind: Scroll Wheel Up
/focus [target=mouseover]

Bind: Scroll Wheel Down
/clearfocus [target=mouseover]

Mouse over healing is my main healing method.
I do have a Repeater Region, going to the Pally only, over my portion of Grid (my team is column one always).
The Pally also has Focus based heals.



The Paladin has a "Big Button" for "God Mode":
/Cast Divine Favor
/Cast Avenging Wrath
/Cast Aura Mastery
/Cast Divine Protection
/Cast Guardian of Ancient Kings
/Use 13
/Use 14

I have a second "Big Button", which is everything except Aura Mastery.
And then have a separate key for Aura Mastery alone.
This spreads the "specials" out a little.
Plus, now that Hungering Cold has a cast time, its nice to have Aura Mastery (Concentration Aura) prevent that from being interrupted.




The Pally also has keybinds for:
- Divine Plea (mana)
- Hammer of Justice (stun)
- Holy Radiance (AoE Healing)
- Self Bubble
- Hand of Protection (@player... secondary bubble)
- Lay on Hands



For Click healing, I use:
Grid + Grid Custom Layouts + Clique

My Custom Layout:
ToonA,ToonB,ToonC,ToonD,ToonE;NAME
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8;5/8;NAME;NR

Macros/Tactics:

An Opening Move
1. Death Grip everyone into range
-- DK A = /cast [@arena1] deathgrip
-- DK B = /cast [@arena2] deathgrip
-- DK C = /cast [@arena3] deathgrip
-- DK D = /cast [@arena4] deathgrip
2. Howling Blast x2
3. Hungering Cold
4. Focus Fire, Arena5; Howling Blast if at range or Obliterate if close.
5. Hungering Cold, when Arena 1-4 trinket to save Arena 5.
6. Runic Empowerment and Obliterate/Frost Strike spam on Arena 5.

Dual Healers
1. Focus on a hard to kill opponent.
2. When both healers are low on mana, Death Grip them both into the kill zone.
3. Mix HB and OBL, and use Runic Empowerment for extra pressure.
4. Try to put out lots of damage, so the Healers have to pressure heal with fast and inefficient heals.

Target Swap
1. Switch from one target to another, applying pressure/damage to use their healer's mana.
2. Once they're low on mana, swap from one weak opponent to another and burst the new target.
3. One of the two will probably be an easy target.

Dark Simulacrum, Part I (Aquisition)
a. Either build this into your spam macro, so you use it often; or
b. Pressure a healer at some point in the match and use it when you feel they will use a special power or die

Dark Simulacrum, Part II (Use)
a. Create an oversized button, with Dark Sim on it and click this (Repeater Region suggested) when you get a nice ability.
b. Have a macro, where each DK casts Dark Sim by Arena Number, to place a CC effect on several opponents at once.
c. Cast the Dark Sim effect at your current target.
d. Have each DK do the Dark Sim spell at themselves.
Obviously, what you do with the ability really depends on what you get with it.

Strangulate Macro
#showtooltip Strangulate
/cast Blood Tap
/cast [@focus, exists, nodead] Strangulate

DK buff macro:
#show Horn of Winter
/castsequence reset=9 Horn of Winter, Null

Pally buff macro:
#show Beacon of Light
/castsequence [@player] reset=9 Beacon of Light, Seal of Insight, Blessing of Kings (Arena) (or Blessing of Might (Battlegrounds))

[Toonarmy]

You. Are. The. Man.

Thanks a bunch Ualaa.

[Emo?]

Thank you :)

What do you think are the Pros and cons of plying just the 4 DKs, and have a friend as healer?

[Ualaa]

I would think you would do a lot better.

One person concentrating entirely on the healing/cleansing, and able to pillar-hump, is a significant advantage.

Similarly, you focus purely on the damage and killing, which cooldowns to click and when.
Plus it will be easier to be 20-30 yards away from your healer most of the time, which means you can Death Grip to protect them even more so than playing solo.

If you're running with a healer of your own, that will cause them to lag back a bit.
If you're not running with your own healer, you're dependent on someone else to follow your team around both in BG's and Arena.

You could likely do most dungeons, via a Blood dual-spec and a pug healer.

[Emo?]

Yeh sounds reasonable, just dinged 85 on all of them so now starts the fun part :D (getting trashed for a few weeks)

[Ualaa]

I've had a lot more success, running 2's as Frost.

The first week, while I was still in the honor grind gearing up process, I offered gold per win for a "pvp god" to help an "average frost DK with xxxx res" get to the Conquest cap for the week.

Double DPS has worked a lot better than pairing with a healer.
Mainly because lacking a strong weapon, the DPS is a little short.
Anything stuck in melee range, I would go with the Obliterate priority sequence.
Anything that can run away, I would go with the Howling Blast priority sequence.

My best partner has been Frost Mages, and after that Fury Warriors.
I never lasted that long, against two DPS when partnered with a Stealth partner.

The only games double melee consistently loses, is against Frost Mage + another DPS.
Teams that are 1x DPS, 1x Heals, are fairly easy if you focus on the melee toon, especially if you Strangulate/MindFreeze/Hungering Cold the healer, and if your partner has anything of that sort too.

Three weeks of wins, and the Conquest weapon will make a huge impact.
The stats for the Axe, Mace and Sword are identical in every way.
My gnomes have no edge with one weapon type over another (bonuses with 1 Handers)... I think the sword looks best.
Other races might have a bonus with one type over another.

[Toned]

Thank you :)

What do you think are the Pros and cons of plying just the 4 DKs, and have a friend as healer?

Put it this way I went 6-6 playing all 5 toons.

My g/f healed and we went 7-1

[Emo?]

Hmm have some probs setting up the Deathgrup all arena targets. Ive set up a macro on each DK that says " /cast [@arena1] deathgrip" (with 2,3,4). I have the key, in my case T, activated in ISboxer but somehow inside wow it doesnt work.

Have tryed it inside arena and seams like wrong command overall.

Any thoughts?

[pinotnoir]

I may have to change my setup after reading this. Can you show me how the setup should look for this part of the isboxer setup? I am not sure how you do this.
-Sends the keybind for Obliterate to the DK's.
- Sends the keybind for Obliterate to the DK's
- Sends the keybind for Blood Strike to the DK's
- Sends the keybind for Blood Strike to the DK's
- Sends the keybind for Frost Strike to the DK's

[Ualaa]

I'm using Shift F1, Shift F2, Shift F3, etc..
Not exactly those, but one modifier and several F whatever keys.

If you go that approach.
Then have IS Boxer send a bunch of keybinds to the DK group.



If you want to use multiple modifiers, then you need a series of Do Mapped Key actions.

Mosg2 has:
Mapped Key 1 > Alt + F9 to > Target: Current Window
Mapped Key 2 > Ctrl + F9 to > Target: Current Window
Etc.

Then the spam key is:
Do Mapped Key, Mapped Key 1 > Target: Group (all of) DK ATG
Do Mapped Key, Mapped Key 2 > Target: Group (all of) DK ATG
Obviously with one mapped key per keybind you want them to receive.
This would also be on Step 2.

Step 1 is.
The main move only... Howling Blast or Obliterate.
And FTL Assist
And IWT for the melee

I'm not following how you setup the macros to fire off on released. Is it a second macro bound to your dps button that only activates at release and your other macro activates when pressed?

[Mosg2]

You setup a button in ISBoxer like this:

Two steps.
Step 1: Sends 1 to everyone
Step 2: Sends 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 to everyone

Then you set the options so that it advances a step when you press OR release a button. This way it "prioritizes" the downpress so that if you're on the GCD (as you should be) it'll basically always take the downpress button first.

~~~

I've been busy with life and I realized I was only logging in to do dailies and maybe grind a few 5's games. I've been keeping up on WoW a bit. Have they merged all the arena BG's yet? If so, how is it? Anyone get massive rating yet? :)

[Ualaa]

They're supposed to merge them in 4.1, which will be soon.
PTR hasn't changed much, at least to my knowledge -- maybe it has and I'm oblivious, but don't recall seeing much new in a while.

The whole idea of press and release.
If you're off of the GCD, and the step 1 ability is available (runes/runic power/cooldown/whatever) it will fire off.
So we have Mind Freeze on step 1.
And either Howling Blast or Obliterate, as those are primary abilities for those two spam buttons/rotations.

Then have a bunch of stuff on the second step.
Which can be on release.
But it could also be on press, and then every other step is the stuff on Step 1 or the stuff on Step 2.
Honestly, it won't make a difference in the game.
In the one case (press and release) you spam at whatever pace.
In the other case (release only) you spam twice as fast for the same result.

[alcattle]

what are the professions on this team, I see shoulders and leg armor, so crafter only?

[pinotnoir]

Hmm have some probs setting up the Deathgrup all arena targets. Ive set up a macro on each DK that says " /cast [@arena1] deathgrip" (with 2,3,4). I have the key, in my case T, activated in ISboxer but somehow inside wow it doesnt work.

I have the same problem. I have /cast [@arena1] death grip and it still doesn't work.

[Fat Tire]

I have the same problem. I have /cast [@arena1] death grip and it still doesn't work.

I use

/cast [target=Arena1, exists] Death Grip


For some reason I am having issues with @

[Mosg2]

It's:

/cast [@arenatarget1] death grip

[Ualaa]

what are the professions on this team, I see shoulders and leg armor, so crafter only?

I've thought of adding Engineering to the team, but have not bothered yet.

My DK's are Alchemists.
My Pally is an Alchemist/Enchanter

The shoulder enchant is from 2,000 honor (PvP purchased)
The helm enchant is from 1,000 honor (PvP purchased)
The leg enchants are from the auction house.

[pinotnoir]

It's:

/cast [@arenatarget1] death grip


This does not work.

[daanji]

Strangulate Macro
#showtooltip Strangulate
/cast Blood Tap
/cast [@focus, exists, nodead][@target] Strangulate


Do we still need Blood tap with 4.1? Since all blood runes are now perma death runes?

Will it reset the death rune and make it immediately available for use?

[Toned]

Yes

[Ualaa]

Added to the Paladin healing section:

I've added a pair of Clique bindings for setting/clearing focus.
I'm using Scroll Wheel Up (Set Focus) and Scroll Wheel Down (Clear Focus).

Open the spellbook.
Click the bottom icon on the spellbook, to enter Clique binding mode.
Click the second button, "Bind Other".
Select, "Run Custom Macro".
You need to include [target=mouseover] for these to work.

Bind: Scroll Wheel Up
/focus [target=mouseover]

Bind: Scroll Wheel Down
/clearfocus [target=mouseover]



Now I have...
- Left Click = Flash of Light
- Right Click = Cleanse
- Thumb Button = Divine Light
- Scroll Up = Set Focus
- Scroll Down = Clear Focus

So basically, a fast heal, an efficient heal and a cleanse effect.
And a very easy to way to set focus.
Anytime focus is set, the Paladin uses the double big healing macros.

[CheeseCake]

Not sure if i missed it but how exactly do you get the others to outbreak when one Death grips
i have a key that round robins my death grip, may need a delay in it since sometimes two will death grip the same target :/
This and dark sum are the two im trying to find a good way of fitting in and to get outbreak to go off first.

Spent most of the day going through Ualaas and mosqs setup and yesterday i was doing 6-7k dps and now they have shot up to 9-11k dps,

[Ualaa]

Assuming you use IS Boxer, you have two approaches to a Death Grip round-robin.

You could go with Send Keybind to Group: (all of) Death Knights.
And check the box, round-robin within target group.

That approach uses the order the toons appear within the Action Target Group.

I actually have a mapped key for Death & Decay set up this way.
It sends the Keybind for Death & Decay to the DK ATG, with the check to round-robin within target group.
It also Sends Next Click to the DK ATG, also with the check to round-robin within the target group.
Since it is the same ATG, the Death & Decay + Mouse Broadcast to only one toon at a time always syncs up.



The other approach, is the original round-robin method.

If you have four DK's on your team, and want something to be round-robin.
We used to go with four steps.
And each DK does something on each step.
-- Step 1 > Death Grip keybind to DK 1.
-- Step 2 > Death Grip keybind to DK 2.
-- Etc... naturally including FTL Assist Me, prior to the keybind.

Just extend that, so the modified Step 1 reads.
- FTL Assist Me, Target: Current Window
- Send Death Grip keybind to DK 1.
- Send Outbreak keybind to DK 2.

Then do the same with the other steps.



You can check the box, "Do Not Advance to Next Step" and check, "For At Least" and fill something in like 0.2 or 0.3 seconds.

[CheeseCake]

Thanks Ualaa thats made it so much easier.

Is it best to have Strangulate, Hungering cold and Dark sim on there own keys
At the moment i have a round robin stagulate and hungering cold on the mouses Num 2 and Num 3 keys

Spam keys are 1-3, 2 being IWT on its own. setup almost like your rotation
E key is Death Grip/Outbreak

key 1 spam
step 1: Press
FTL assist
Mind freeze
Howling Blast

Step 2: Release
Howling Blast
Frost Strike
Frost Strike
Necrotic Strike
Obliterate

Key 2
Step 1:
FTL assist
IWT

Key 3
Step 1: Press
FTL assist
Mind Freeze
Dark Sim

Step 2: Release
Obliterate
Obliterate
Death Strike
Frost Strike
Frost Strike

Still working alot on the dummies always changing things around in ISboxer

Pali is pretty much what you have, works great so i can focus more on the DPSing
Just loving the focus macros on the scroll wheel then spam heals
My priest is running solo for now to gear up as she has awful Res, gear and gets one shot all the time


EDIT: did some BGs with this setup and it went horrendous on all,, Dks going mental, dps dropped to 2k :( bad day
When you set it up in isboxer like this step
Spam "2" (Release)
- Sends the keybind for Obliterate to the DK's. - Shift F1 or - Shift F1
- Sends the keybind for Obliterate to the DK's - Shift F2 " " - Shift F1
- Sends the keybind for Blood Strike to the DK's - Shift F3 " " - Shift F2
- Sends the keybind for Blood Strike to the DK's - Shift F4 " " - Shift F2
- Sends the keybind for Frost Strike to the DK's - Shift F5 " " - Shift F3

Are shift keys like any of these

EDIT: seems as though the problem im have with these 3 keys is this
I hit my IWT key and spam, the DKs buzz round the target fine, I then start hitting key 1 or 3 my DPS spams and they all go mental,, IWT takes longer so there no longer buzzing round right up on the target, there more fanned out,,, then a few seconds later some will just continue on running and not come back to the target.
Think that makes sense

Putting the IWT key amonst my dps always makes them want to hit the shift 1-3 to (my IWT is shift+[ )
Made a topic like this before, ended up having to delete everything and start again for it to work :(

[Ualaa]

I've got three DPS sequences.

I almost never use the third, which is the Death Strike.
But the Howling Blast / Necrotic Strike and the Obliterate sequences are used a lot.

The Paladin receives "1" on step 1, and "2" on step 2, for all three sequences.
I execute a step on press or release, and spam at about 2-2.5 clicks per second.

The DK's use:
Step One
- FTL Assist Me, Target: Current Window
- Do Mapped Key, My IWT Mapped Key, Target: Group (all of) DK's.
- Do Mapped Key, My Mindfreeze Mapped Key.
- Send Keystroke "1" to Paladin.
- Send Keystroke "x" to Group (all of) DK's
x = main ability, Howling Blast or Obliterate or Death Strike

Step Two
- Send Keystroke "2" to Paladin
- Do Mapped Key... Ability One, Target: Group (all of) DK's
- Do Mapped Key... Ability Two, Target: Group (all of) DK's
- Do Mapped Key... Ability Three, Target: Group (all of) DK's



It is easier to go with Do Mapped Key actions for the DK abilities.

Have one for each of the abilities you want them to use.
Mapped Key: Frost Strike
- Sends Keybind for Frost Strike to, Target: Current Window

Mapped Key: Necrotic Strike
- Sends Keybind for Necrotic Strike to, Target: Current Window

The Step One of the mapped key, determines assist already, so we don't need that in the ability mapped keys.
And the Step two tells which toons (The DK's) should be doing the Frost Strike, Necrotic Strikes, etc.



I have FTL Assist, IWT, and Mind Freeze in Step one of all the macros.
These are not repeated in step two.

Given my personal spam speed, that means Assist and IWT are executed roughly twice a second.
Mind Freeze is attempted as frequently, but the round-robin cannot advance faster than one DK every 2.5 seconds.

[CheeseCake]

been messing around with it for few days.. everythings working fine now, thank you
IWT setup is what was causes the problems to, lax sorted that out for me :)

Got it all working on the 5 cat druids now to :)

[Mercbeast]

Been fine tuning my macro's and I was wondering if anyone has used /target focus combined with IWT on round robin with strangulate to work?

Idea is that one DK every Xseconds will target the focus IWT it and strang it. Allowing the other DK's to keep dpsing with minimal loss of DPS.

I've got it working fine where all DK's peel towards the focus but haven't been able to get it so they take turns.

Tried two ways so far.
One 4 step keybind which does this for all 4 steps.
target focus
sends strangulate macro
IWT's

Figuring maybe this system was not IWTing or targeting the focus before trying to send the strang I changed to an 8 step keybind.

Step 1
target focus
IWT
Step 2 - do not pass for 4s
strang macro
repeat

First DK works but subsequent DK's do not.

RESOLVED. User error, I was clicking the do not pass, but forgot to click the for x seconds bit!

If you do get something like this to work, please post here :)

I setup a system like this in the past, and found that it actually hurt more than it helped. The few seconds ( I was using 2-2.5sec, I think you 4s is too high) that dk goes off to Strang is a loss of dps. I do use round robin /cast [@focus] strangulate macros though. In most situations the amount of spinnning and mashing IWT I get my strangs off.

Ya. I came to the same conclusion haha.

I started my 5's yesterday and everything went swimmingly. Opened 10-0.

Then I started running into double/trip healer teams. I hadn't yet setup any focus strang macro's since I was JUST doing arenas to get guild rep for BoA's.

Went 5 and 20 over the next 3 hours I think.

Today I made my strang macro and went 7-5 with 3 or 4 of those losses coming before the macro was working properly.

What I've done is make a secondary DPS key which keeps my DPS spamming while also firing off strang every 3s.

I'm debating setting up a double focus system with 2 DK's focusing 1 and 2 focusing another. Then setting up a second strangulate macro that will pass the first 2 steps immediately and then hold off on the last 2 for X seconds. Since we are all about killing fast and DR's on strang will render 4 on one guy pretty much pointless.

[waffletastic]

Hi, I know you gave us how you set up your macros, but I'm not very good with setting up the macros, I was wondering if I could have the actual code you input to use the macros? Thanks

[cidd]

I am super new(like installed ISboxer like 2 hours ago) was using keyclone before can someone give me a detailed explaination on how this rotation works or have a basic setup i can look at.

essentially what i get is FTL DPS KEY X when pressed down does one part of the rotation then when released always spams the same spell then when pressed down it does the next one in the rotation?

how do i set that up?

[ZooljinX]

These are two upploads from Mosg2

and

this second part has the how to setup part

these are a bitt dated but they give you the idea of how it works

[cidd]

So I set it up like in the video seems to be working ok my guys are only lvl 62 at the moment.

seems like all they do is spam icy touch too much so i tried to make my bars similar to this but again im lvl 62 so what i ended up doing is making FTL DPS 1, 2, and 3 to press then making a copy of the FTL DPS 1, 2, and 3 key and setting them to release then mapping the keybinds to that
so for FTL DPS 1, 2, and 3 they are set to IT, OB, and DS respectively

http://www.privatepaste.com/3ee61b5b8c

any direction from here would be good

It is really out of date though, i will make a new one some time soon.

Ualaa,

Are the Keys 1 and 2 in your videos casting Macros on the DKs or just doing the mapped keys like in the post below? If it is mapped keys, where do you have those keys actually on the DKs?



Here are my three spam keys:

Spam "1" (Press)
- Slaves assist the Master
- Do Mapped Key - Mind Freeze - All DK's
- Do Mapped Key > DK Howling Blast > Target: The DK (Action Target Group).
- Sends IWT to toons in the Melee Group.

Spam "1" (Release)
- Do Mapped Key > DK Howling Blast > Target: The DK (ATG)
- Do Mapped Key > DK Frost Strike > Target: The DK (ATG)
- Do Mapped Key > DK Necrotic Strike > Target: The DK (ATG)
- Do Mapped Key > DK Death Coil > Target: The DK (ATG)
[Note: Howling Blast is the sole ability called on Key Down; on Key Up, each ability has an equal chance to be called].

Spam "2" (Press)
- Slaves assist the Master
- Do Mapped Key > Mind Freeze > Target: DK (ATG)
- Do Mapped Key >DK Obliterate > Target: DK (ATG)
- Sends IWT to toons in the Melee Group.

Spam "2" (Release)
- Do Mapped Key > DK Oblierate > Target: DK (ATG)
- Do Mapped Key > DK Frost Strike > Target: DK (ATG)

Spam "3" (Press)
- Slaves assist the Master
- Do Mapped Key - Mind Freeze - All DK's
- Sends the keybind for Death Strike to the DK's.
- Sends IWT to toons in the Melee Group.

Spam "3" (Release)
- Sends the keybind for Death Strike to the DK's.
- Sends the keybind for Death Strike to the DK's
- Sends the keybind for Blood Strike to the DK's
- Sends the keybind for Blood Strike to the DK's
- Sends the keybind for Frost Strike to the DK's

Mind Freeze (Mapped Key)
Four Steps
Do not advance to next step for 2.6 seconds
Sends Mind Freeze keybind to one DK on each step.

As of 4.1, Blood of the North has changed Blood Runes into Death Runes (which count as Blood, Frost or Unholy Runes); as of this change, Blood Strike has been removed from the sequence.
Meaning either an extra Frost & Unholy rune every 10 seconds or an extra two of one of those.
IE: +1 Obliterate/Death Strike or +1 Necrotic Strike & +1 Howling Blast or +2 Necrotic Strikes/Howling Blasts every 10 seconds.

[Ualaa]

My mapped keys are like this.

Howling Blast
Hotkey: None Set.
Send Keybind "1" to Current Window
(All members of the DK group do this, each in their own window)

Frost Strike
Hotkey: None Set.
Send Keybind "Shift F6" to Current Window
(All members of the DK group do this, each in their own window)

Necrotic Strike
Hotkey: None Set
Send Keybind "Shift F7" to Current Window
(All members of the DK group do this, each in their own window)

Etc...
And then I have that spell on the relevant keybind.




In-game macros:

F_DPS (On 1)
#show
/startattack
/cast Howling Blast
/use 6
/use 10
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()

OBL (On 2)
#showtooltip Obliterate
/startattack
/cast Obliterate
/use 6
/use 10
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()

Death (On 6)
#show
/startattack
/cast Death Strike
/use 6
/use 10
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()



All of the others, are straight keybinds for the spells dragged out of the spell/ability book.

Because my Death Coil is a Do Mapped Key action, I can toggle the mapped key on and off.
By a Mapped Key state action.
When that mapped key is off, even if another mapped key tries to call "Do Mapped Key: Death Coil (actually Do Mapped Key, Shift F8)" it cannot fire off.

The IWT, Mind Freeze, etc.
Is the same as listed in my DK Guide.

I almost never use the Death Strike (DPS Sequence 3, on Keybind "6").
Howling Blast is far superior AoE damage and total damage.
Obliterate is far superior single target damage (which doesn't break Hungering Cold).
Death Strike is only used after the healer falls, and then only if Raise Ally is on cooldown and/or the DK's don't have the necessary Runic Power.
Which means the team is in trouble and won't be around for long anyway.
DS is not enough healing, as I'm not glyphed into it nor spec'd around it at all.
But with the glyph its a decent option, especially for arena.

[SaraiE]

Ualaa,
I noticed in your dk macro section, you have "repeater region" for some keys, how does one set this up ? Do you activate the repeater beforee you click or is there a way to set this up in isboxer? Can you elaborate on this?

SaraiE

[Ualaa]

Open up the Toolkit, and in the upper left pane expand Character Sets, then click on your Character Set.

You'll notice in the bottom pane, under the "General" tab (which is the default view), there are options which you can check.
The third one down is for the "In-game ISBoxer GUI toggle hotkey".

I have mine set to: Ctrl + Alt + / because that is what Zanthor originally suggested in his "From Zero to Hero" thread.
But any unique combination will work.




I like to have a variety of Action Target Groups.

Usually there will be one for the entire team.
There will be another for just the Death Knights.
With only the one healer, I wouldn't make one for the Paladin... but if the composition was 3x DK's + 2x Healers, then a Healer ATG would be useful.




When you're in game, press your GUI toggle hotkey.

I believe Repeater Regions are the second tab.
There is a window for "Target", with an arrow to the right of it.
Clicking this arrow brings up valid targets... which can be Slot Number or a pre-defined ATG.

The healing Repeater Region, is set to Slot 3, because that is my Paladin's slot.
The mouse-over (clickable) stuff for the DK's can be set to their ATG.

Once the target is set, you have the option of KVM Mode (Block Local Click).
This can be good, if you only want the target (set, as per above) to receive the click.
I don't really want my DK's to drop their target, when the Grid frame is clicked upon... so I use the block local click option for that Repeater Region.
Even if I'm on the Paladin's screen (with Block Local Click enabled), because the Paladin is the target, she will get the clicks sent to her.
If you want KVM (Block Local Click), set that first then choose the target, because the target is reset to nothing when you check that box.

Next you click the button to create the repeater region.
Drag it over whatever you want.
Noting that the shaded red area is what will be "repeated", not the border of the Region.

Once it is in place, click on the sync button... which will place the region in the exact same place on every screen.
Then click "Save as Auto" or whatever the default option is.
The default save, will auto-load when the team is loaded.
If you change the save name, then it is not auto loaded, and must be manually started each time.



I have a variety of Repeater Regions.
There is one over the Jamba Item Bar (mine is five buttons across and two buttons tall).
I have Healthstones in the same position on every screen, with a Repeater Region over those.
Same thing for the Summoned Mage Cake; which is also hotkeyed.

There are four buttons for the DK's.
The Pally has identical graphics, but a blank macro in those places: Raise Dead, Anti-Magic Shell, Icebound Fortitude, Pillar of Frost.
The Raise Dead can only be clicked, there is no hotkey.
The other three have a hotkey or can be clicked because of the repeater region.
No real reason for not having a hotkey on Raise Dead; there was on originally but I took it out for some reason that eludes me now...

Basically put a Repeater Region over anything that you might want to click on the screen.
Where a click is good enough...

If you want targeting, in addition to the click...
You'll be better off with a Click Bar, which is essentially a click activated mapped key.

[Lyonheart]

I love reading your posts Ualaa, you give me ideas i had not thought about. I like clicking on some thing. rather than using hotkeys.. like food/drink..mounting etc.. but I have made TONs of keymaps to do all that stuff.. this will save me time 8)

[djensen]

Okay so im a total freaking oob to this stuff. I see how you put down the spam keys for the dk. How do i put those into idboxer or wow? i dont quite understand. if you could link a video or sumthng that can explain how to set up these multi skill macros i would really appreciate it.

[DMan]

Yep, I have a newb question too :rolleyes:. I am used to running my mixed (ranged/dk tank) team and my pally/sham teams. Ualaa, how are you managing keybinds between all your teams. Is it by using the ATG feature? If anyone can point me to a link I'd appreciate it. Right now I go in ISBoxer toolkit and load different versions of say the "A" key. I load which ever version of the A key that I need for each team. Thanks guys!

I would suggest starting with the IS Boxer guide in my signature.
It will get you comfortable with working in the Toolkit.

Even if you don't keep any of the examples (and many are now generated by the wizard), it shows the process of click here and select that.
So you have a working knowledge of using mapped keys.

The abilities are essentially.
Keystroke Action > The Warcraft Keybind > Target: Current Window.
Or Target: (Action Target Group).

And then the spam keys are:
Do Mapped Key Action > A set up Mapped Key...

This is the procedure I use for each team:

Open the Toolkit.

Create a copy of the Default Keymap: FTL DPS Keys.
Rename the copy, after the new character set.

Select the character set, in the top left pane.
Delete (in the lower left pane) the FTL DPS Keymap from the list of Keymaps that apply to this character set.
Drag the copy of the FTL DPS Keymap, which was renamed after the character set down to here.

In the lower right pane, go to the second tab (Key Map White/Black Lists).
Select the second option, 'White Lists'.
Ensure only Control + General + The_Team_Specific_Keymap are selected (highlighted in blue).

Click the Control Keymap, in the top left pane.
Expand 'Activate Maps' in the bottom left pane.
Click on the '1'.
Copy the General Key Map On > All
Paste that (by right clicking on actions).
Edit the paste, so it points to the newly made Keymap for this specific team.
Edit the target to > All members of the new team.
Do the same on Step 2 of the 'Activate Maps' mapped key.




My personal set up is:
a) Control - These mapped keys are always on, never disabled... none have a keybind to activate that is remotely similar to my password.
b) General - These mapped keys can be toggled off, and anything that applies to every team is here...
c) Team Specific - Anything that varies from team to team, is put here... so for example: '4' on my Boomkin set is a Send Next Click action for broadcasting Treants... but '4' is not necessarily modified on other sets...

[Santa]

Do Repeater Regions work with mouse wheel up/down?

For example if I wanted to mouseover a Grid playerframe and I have mousewheel_up bound to some spell so it would be repeated on every window with the repeater region set up.

[Ualaa]

Yes.

I have 'set focus' and 'clear focus', both tied to mouse scroll wheel (up and down, respectively).
For Clique to interpret anything, you need to add: /focus [target=mouseover] and /clearfocus [target=mouseover].

[DMan]

This is the procedure I use for each team:

Open the Toolkit.

Create a copy of the Default Keymap: FTL DPS Keys.
Rename the copy, after the new character set.

Ensure only Control + General + The_Team_Specific_Keymap are selected (highlighted in blue).

Click the Control Keymap, in the top left pane.
Expand 'Activate Maps' in the bottom left pane.
Click on the '1'.
Copy the General Key Map On > All

It's just a silly computer game, but I'm stuck on 2nd shift and don't have any outlet for my competitive streak anymore. Ualaa, dude, thanks for posting this guide. I just finished an AB where my dk's were all 15 plus kb's and 1 death. Comments like, "this guy is sick" really feed my online ego ;p.

And to you sir, I owe the thanks.

Much appreciated man.

You're welcome ;)

Strangulate
Based on two mapped keys.
Effect -- Two different targets are focused, both are Strangulated on the first press, and both are Strangulated on the second press.
Video Link: http://www.twitch.tv/ualaa/b/306942141


im very interested how to do this. sadly the video link doesnt work. :-(
my interpretation is to make it like this:
make two mapped keys.

first mapped key has two steps.
step1: assist current window, char1 and char2 --> /focus
step2: assist current window, char3 and char4 --> /focus

second mapped key has two steps.
step1: char1 and char3 --> /cast [target=focus] strangulate
step2: char2 and char4 --> /cast [target=focus] strangulate

this is just my idea how to do it.
does it work like this or how do u manage to do it?

Essentially, yes.

The video still works for me.
Clicked it, just now.
But I'm the owner of the channel, so that might be it (I have my channel set, to not display previous videos on the main page).

*Edit*
Previous broadcasts are available.
Should be able to see the video now.

Okay I have a few questions, I'm trying to implement a two step macro for my 3 dks. There are only dks in my group and I use num 1 for iwt ctm. therefore I don't need to set the assist or the ATG, I can just set the target to current right?

Here is how I set it up: http://www.privatepaste.com/0e2697f9b7 its under aoe Rotation (dk 61-70)

Hi Ualaa,
I am a new user to IsBoxer, but I have been multiboxing for 3 years using different softwares.
Used the quick-guide setup to level 4 dks (got to lvl 62 before I was done in dk-starting area with raf and full heirlooms.)
Want to step it up using your setup, but cant wrap my head around configuring ISBoxer.
I have read http://www.dual-boxing.com/threads/26231-A-guide-to-IS-Boxer-%28Long%29 and started config, but I got lost (3-4 days in a row now)
-Due to lack of sleep/insomnia my brain doesnt work as good as it used to, is it possible to import your config (that is if you wanna share ofc)
Thank you in advance for any help!
