Mosg2's DK Manifesto

[Mosg2]

@Ualaa:
That's exactly how my IWT keys work. PvP keyset has IWT on all keypresses, PvE does not. I then just have a toggle button.

As to how my DPS key works, let me try and explain in more detail:

When I press Spacebar down, it sends IWT and F9 to my DK's. F9 is HB. On release of Spacebar it sends IWT and Shift-F9, Alt-F9, Ctrl-F9, Shift/Alt-F9, Shift/Alt/Ctrl-F9, and Ctrl/Alt-F9 to the DK's. Those buttons are more HB's, Frost Strikes, and the Plague Strike/Blood Strike castsequence.

I then vary the number of times the same ability appears on the Modifier+F9 series on my action bar so that an ability is "preferred" more or less. For instance, HB is on downpress PLUS two of them are on release so that HB should, almost without exception, go off before any other ability. Then there are two Frost Strikes and only one PS/BS macro--This is because I would always rather FS than PS/BS due to Runic Empowerment.

My Mind Freeze works like this: I have a 4-step key that gets pressed every time I hit Spacebar down. However, it has the "Only advance to next step after XX seconds" box clicked so that no matter how fast I spam it, it will only go to the next step until 2.5 seconds have elapsed. This works because Mind Freeze is off the GCD and costs zero RP--So, I get a MF every 2.5-2.6 seconds (I spam Spacebar 2.5 times a second or so).

It's 5:32am and I just got up because my wife woke up with a cramp in her leg haha. I hope I was coherent enough--I'll check back in in a few hours

Edit: I am going to find a way with ISBoxer to make it prefer Necrotic Strike but still alternate it a bit so that over a period of say, 30+ seconds one character is always doing NS every GCD without having it go in clumps--ie, everyone opens with HB, HB, and then NS. I want 3x HB/1 NS, 3x HB/1 NS, 3x FS/1 NS etc etc. I'll figure something out

IS the shift f9, alt f9, ctrl f9 etc spam, are those subsequent steps or all one step.?

Really good job on explaining things. Would be really cool to see this team in action.

Though I kinda don't have the energy to level another team anymore lol. NS stacking and Chain Death Grip. The DKs looking good.

Running healer as main and let alts IWT, this does have a problem though. Say the paladin stay back, I (the other team that you are facing) can turn a sharp corner behind a pillar and stay closed to the pillar, IWT would run straight line. and you won't be able to get me. You have to either quickly switch to a DK lead or run the paladin in front (probably not gonna do this). The good thing is that you got death grip. You can grip them into the open area.

Very interesting. Your video was excellent. I think I might jump on this bandwagon and give it a crack!

Fantastic Vid-

Thanks for making it. Best of luck on your team.

Would love to go against more boxers this season(s)/expansion. BG Nightfall!@ GO!

So I'm setting up my Rotation. I am using F as my DPS Key. I have 2 Keymaps in my Death Knight PVP Key Set that are bound to F in ISBOXER.

DPS Priority (F)
2 Step Keymap, Functions on Press OR Release, Hold Other Actions Disabled
Step 1:
- FTL Assist Me > Self
- Melee IWT > Death Knight PVP ATG
- Howling Blast > Death Knight PvP ATG (WoW Macro Action)

Step 2:
Send CTRL + 7 > DK ATG (HB ingame)
Send ALT + 7 > DK ATG (HB ingame)
Send SHIFT + 7 > DK ATG (Necrotic Strike/Plague Strike)
Send CTRL + 8 > DK ATG (Frost Strike)
Send ALT + 8 > DK ATG (Frost Strike)
Send SHIFT + 8 > DK ATG (Blood Strike)
Send CTRL + 9 > DK ATG (Hungering Cold)

Mind Freeze RR (F)
4 Step Keymap, Functions on Pressed, Hold Other Actions Disabled
Step 1: (Do not advance to next step for 2.5s)
. Mind Freeze -> Slattersa (WoW Macro Action
Step 2: (Do not advance to next step for 2.5s)
- Mind Freeze -> Slattersb (WoW Macro Action)
Step 3: (Do not advance to next step for 2.5s)
- Mind Freeze -> Slattersc (WoW Macro Action)
Step 4: (Do not advance to next step for 2.5s)
- Mind Freeze -> Slattersd (WoW Macro Action)

Can mosq2 or void or any of the others running this comp let me know if this is the way its being done now? I really like to keep stuff in ISBoxer as much as possible so I was wondering if in the DPS Keymap Step 2 if you change all the keystrokes being sent to keymap actions being sent will it still have the same kind of effect or not? Any changes I need to make to this?

I'm not familiar with isboxer at all, so neither with its 'slang'. But what you do, is that pausing / delaying keypresses?

sorry to bump this, but is this done in multiple steps? or 1 step multiple actions?


AND isnt there a solution for the scatter-effect? when they all run away

Mosg2's set up is two steps.
Execute on press or release.

Step 1:
IWT & Howling Blast

Step 2:
Spams six keybinds (sends all keys)
(From the video, this is: Howling Blast x2, Frost Strike x2, Plague/Bloodstrike castsequence.)

So essentially, a weighted chance for one ability over another.
With nothing firing when you're on the GCD.
And a given ability cannot fire when it (or its rune type) is on cooldown.

You end up with consistent, IWT's and Howling Blasts.
And lots of Frost Strikes, when HB is not ready.
And some Plague/Bloodstrikes.



Would probably put the Mind Freeze mapped key into Step 2.
Have four steps for this.
Tick, do not advance for 2.5 seconds.
With one DK as the target for each step.



If you get runners...
IWT another target.
Or quickly hit /Follow, to regroup.
