Ye Old Faithful - Pala + 4 Frost DK

[dancook]

After playing around with various new groups, I have gone back to my Pala + Frost DK. Respecced for 2h and went with this glyph/talent build

I had some ideas for new ways in which to setup my macros.

I spam one key which fires off all these...

Mind Blast Round Robin - 2.0 Seconds Between (toggle key to enable)

Howling Blast / Frost Strike 4 Step (15seconds before moving on to next step)
DK1
/castsequence reset=target Chains of Ice, Howling Blast, Howling Blast, Howling Blast, Howling Blast, Howling Blast, Howling Blast
/cast pillar of frost
DK2
/castsequence reset=20 Dark Simulacrum, Frost Strike, Frost Strike, Frost Strike, Frost Strike, Frost Strike, Frost Strike, Frost Strike
/cast pillar of frost
DK1,3,4
/castsequence frost strike, frost strike
/cast pillar of frost
DK2,3,4
/castsequence howling blast, howling blast
/cast pillar of frost

I then rotate DK2 to do the chains of ice and dk 3 on Dark Sim, etc and it repeats. I have repeated these many times so that the outcome is weighted to fire HB/FS

I also cast Necrotic Strike, Death Coil, also all of my buffs except I save lichborne for manual use. (I wanted to get playing!!)

I plan to change the round robin to a shorter length so the dark sim fires off more earlier - perhaps every 8 seconds. Then for the remainder of the minute I'll use filler.

I have blood boil on RR for rogues and simultaneously cast Death and Decay. I didn't setup strangulate at all.

I'm welcome to constructive feedback and alternative ideas.

Put pillar in a burst macro.

I sorta like the way you have dark sim setup though it means you can't steal bubble or bop on all 4.

IMO you should setup strangulate to be after the first two howling blasts (it will use frost runes before death)

Cheers, since strangulate is a 2min CD how do you suggest I manage it?

The only way I can see it going in the cast sequence is if it goes in

DK1
/castsequence reset=target Chains of Ice, Howling Blast, Howling Blast, Strangulate

Since this will only have an 8 second window (in own suggested change) to get through the sequence + frost strikes

I have a button that uses two macros

/target focus
uses interact with target and then strangulate, i then set it so that the other dks cannot do it for like 5 seconds. Prevents heavy DR.

Strang needs you facing the target, so i just run towards them for half a second and then switch back to my other target.
