DK's 5v5: How it's done.

[ghonosyph]

not sure on that one, but i dont really pay attention to that while im spamming deepz and try to pop them lol

[RestrainT]

There are plenty of macros we could give you but if you read your dks abilities you'd see what gives you health back and easily make a macro from that

People that play dks without knowing how to play dks REALLY need to learn how to play their dks solo first so they can understand how dks work! <3 lol

with that said, it all depends on what spec and talent options are available to you at lvl 75, i really dont know offhand since its been so long since i've leveled mine, but death strike spam works wonders if you've got glyph of dark succor

I know my Dk abilities i can use to heal, Like Death Pact and use Lichborne and spam Death Coil. also Ani-Magic Shell is nice to have in there. But i cant get it to work out in 1 macro.

#showtooltip
/cast Anti-Magic Shell
/cast Raise Dead
/cast Death Pact
/cast Lichborne
/cast Death Coil

Cud you please help me out?
i wud really Appreciate it.

Pretty sure Raise Dead, Lichborne and Death Coil are all on the GCD.
You could do a castsequence.

Unfortunately, they're not going to work well with a bunch of /cast macros.
You could make several macros and use them in sequence.

I dinged 85 like last Sunday, so I was able to get points in before the reset, get points last week, and last night finished my points for my 2handers.

DK's currently have 2300ish resil and the priest is around 1700 resil.
First 2 weeks were meh I got my 5 wins. I remade my team last night and went 5-6 to get points for the 2handers, and then tried them out and won the next game.

Later that night my g/f and I were grinding BGs and decided to try some arenas for the lols. With her playing her under geared priest we went 7-1, and the team that beat us was full viscious 1800+ rated. Other than that we crushed most of the competition.
She runs holy right now until she gets gear. The ability to heal after dieing is key, because 90% of games they try to zerg her.
From my point of view I rush quick and get pressure going early. I open with pillar of frost if im going after an ele/boomkin. Otherwise It's 2 HBs, 2 BS, 2 NS + any frost strikes that occur along the way.

I focus on death gripping melee off her priest, and I will use a hungering cold if 2 other people or so are near my kill target. I have mind freeze on round robin every 2.5sec on my current target like the manifesto, and also included round robin arcane torrent every 4s in reverse order.
After the first hungering cold goes off I pop AMS + IBF reset my runes and move to my obliterate rotation. Which has hungering cold on a 4sec round robin. When my target is 30% or so I do bloodtap + strangulate on arena1-4 and go for the kill. After the first kill I go for anything on the priest and death strike spam to relieve pressure on my DKs (Death strike rotation also has the round robin arcane torrent, hungering colds, and mind freezes).

She fear bombs and uses OH shit buttons like desperate prayer / guardian spirit to live as long as possible. Most games she'd survive, but some double or tripple melee teams would wipe her out before the match was done.
All and all I was impressed at 1 how much difference just the 2handers made, 2 how much easier it is when not healing and Dking, and 3 how lolzie it was beating some fairly geared teams in my crap gear.


Ugh sorry for formatting posting from cellphone FTL.
