Solid guide brother. very thorough. Although I will say you mentioned infected claws adds wounds single target from your pet. but it actually applies them AOE if your pet is transformed since your pet does aoe in that state
@@Partywaffles Can you help us to set up the big button that shows you the plaguebringer buff? I understand its crucial and I find it very hard to track it without any addon help. Big thanks in advamce
For the opener, there's a chance that the scourge strike could become a fat doomburst death coil. For the normal rotation, don't forget to pop the horseman's chains of ice with scourge strike for another 120k aoe damage. This is more damage than a non doom death coil and scales with more enemies around you.
The Apoc is working as they intended. You only need one wound to get max value now. I didn't read the comments, so if someone else covered this, my bad.
Love the new video. You helped me climb to over 1800 on my first time running dk. Was hoping to get a video covering some macro usage if you're able to?
It's interesting that both Frost and Unholy are viable. I feel like Unholy always pulls ahead every season so that's what I'm going to just start with. It also feels more rewarding to play!
Thanks for the video, very helpful! So you put this out over 3 weeks ago now. I"m just now watching it and trying to get a dk ready to pvp. Is the unholy assault>scourge strike>apocalypse still a thing due to the apocalypse "bug" or whatever? Or has this changed since you put the video out?
Love the guide, would you consider doing UDK vs Other classes in 1v1 situations? Things we should keep in mind, important casts to kick or when is 'best' to use defensives generally, eg IB on recklessness etc. I think it'd be wonderful to have a lot of information especially with all the new hero talents/class changes.
Great vid! You didn't highlight enough how powerful Anti Magic Shield is though. Sure it's a big damage absorb, but it's also a full magical immunity for the duration. It blocks nearly every Debuff from being applied to you besides bleeds. So no one will be able to apply dots or magical CCs.
I’m surprised the magus isn’t that good right now, I really enjoyed the look and vibe of them. I might still try it out just to see, maybe if I go heavy mastery it’ll make it worth it. But will most likely just use your spec as it’s never failed me before
great vid thanks for the info. Would it be possible to put an import string of the base talents in the description so that don't have to just eyeball the talents?
@@Partywaffles Is frost still pretty viable in solo shuffle? I'd like to make it to 2.2k this season. I've only played frost so far. Do you think i'm going to have a way harder time achieving this with frost than with unholy?
Thanks for the great content dude. Any thoughts on team comp for 3s? Since we’re dot and rot, would we pair well with a big hitter like frost mage? Or stick with Afflock or Spriest and just rot them all down?
The best guides as always, after I discovered you last year I managed to reach 2.5k playing on a controller lol, thanks to your awesome macros and clear explanations Do you think this season will be better for Frost or Unholy, in solo? Cheers
They set bonus is nerfed 50% in PvP so it’s like nothing, but if the tier set ends up being the same ilvl as conquest maybe we could use 2 set. When I was testing it on beta though the tier was lower ilvl so you would lose stats.
Thanks pwaff, i've been vibing with your builds over the last couple seasons. We're a bit hungry for wound generation when playing doombust. If you get a proc, how often will you use it without 3+ festering wounds on the target? I'll usually festering to get 3+ if i have runes available, otherwise send the proc coil bc i don't think waiting is worth it.
I do the same. If I have the wounds I send, if I have the runes I fester then send. If I can’t do either of those I’ll just send the coil before it vanishes.
Isn't strangulate stun better than the silence ? I mean stunning someone is better than silencing them and it works on melee targets too while silence only works against casters . I never got the idea why people choose silence since it replaces the stun ability
@@Partywaffles still doesn't explain why I would waste a Pvp talent on an ability I already have. I mean I would definitely play the silence if it doesn't replaces the stun but since it does replaces it and the stun is much better then why would I choose silence? Even if my teammates have a million stun I would still prefer to have a stun instead of a silence because stun works on melee too and it stops the target from moving to a better position. Am I missing something here?
@@Partywaffles thanks for the answer! I’ll fuck around with it in BG’s for fun ☺️ Got the 30% chance from pet and defile procs to get wounds from range too, so i hope it can work decently. I’m also thinking about going mostly Mastery for max plague/disease dmg
Shouldn't the opener be unholy assault first before any pets? Or do they get the damage after you cast it as well? I tthought they only got the extra damage if you popped it before the pets were summoned.

Like the video for a full frost guide!
Looking forward to it! Stay frosty
When is it coming??
I'll do ya one better. I'll subscribe for it~
always want frost
As someone who's never quite "got" Unholy but is trying to learn it because of how strong it is, this was very helpful. Cheers.
cheers! Good luck
I am literally excited at this lvl of breakdown for the frost build. I wish i could download your understanding of this class like Neo in the matrix
Hell yeah! I’ll do my best on the frost one just as good.
I'm new to the DK community, yourself and Biceps are outstanding, thanks for all the hours that went into making this!
Your very welcome :)
Bro I finally understand the burst rotation I just did like 1m dps in a 3s skirmish. Ty partywaffles
Love to hear it!
Bro I’m doing like 30m 😂 wait until you upgrade your gear! I’m having so much fun with this class
@@SprightMelfy30 mil dps? I don't think so
@@Minimovexhe must mean 30 mil damage
Thank you very much, as a returning player this was super useful.
Yw :)
Thank you for being a cool DK streamer, that isn’t annoying AF.
Very informative
Haha appreciate it!
Just when you need him, he's back and right on time... Great guide!😎
Thank you my brother 😎
Great guide man! No better place to get DK content than from you bro.
Appreciate that man, it means a lot!
Very nice video! Appreciate the extra work that ended up being nice touches, such as throwing up the picture of the exact enchants.
Thanks man I appreciate that. Nice to know the extra touches went noticed :)
Solid guide brother. very thorough. Although I will say you mentioned infected claws adds wounds single target from your pet. but it actually applies them AOE if your pet is transformed since your pet does aoe in that state
Crazy i been looking for a guide by you, even joined the discord just recently to see, that you just made one 7 minutes ago lol
Perfect timing haha
Thank you for your Guides - i try since DF only to get the Elite Set in Solo Shuffle because i am not so good, but your Tipps help a lot
Very informative guide. Thanks a lot. I only wish it came out sooner, my gear is half haste and half mastery.
Amazing guide as always brother. Your explanation really shows your level of understanding. Right as I began gearing up my main!!
I appreciate the feedback :)
@@Partywaffles Can you help us to set up the big button that shows you the plaguebringer buff? I understand its crucial and I find it very hard to track it without any addon help. Big thanks in advamce
@@neptune7426 just get a weak aura! I have some set up for virulent plague & wounds.
@@Halfhaphazard I made it work. Thanks for the tip brother!
perfect timing dude lol i literally just finished gearing my unh dk for pvp lmao
I tried to get it out a little earlier than usual this time!
Brooo! You are the goat!! Thanks for the guide. Keep it up!!!
You’re welcome 🙏 I will 100% always keep it up!
Another great guide!!! 🎉 Stoked for the frost guide!!
Thank you :)🙏
Just ran into you randomly in a bg, I tried to jump you and you kicked my ass, keep up the content, I took your tip about the apoc, thanks again
Haha that’s awesome! Your welcome brother
Very great guide man, really appreciated.

We barely even play doomburst anymore since it just got nerfed :(
Left wow in dragonflight s2 but still watching your work,master!
Oh wow! That’s support watching guides when you don’t even play anymore. I appreciate that
First, was just looking out for a guide!
Woo perfect timing then!
Thanks for this guide, super helpful!
You’re welcome!
Thanks as always for your great videos !
You’re welcome friend

Good guide Pwaf
Thank you Krack

Yeah it still functions the exact same :)
Is bursting 1 wound for apoc to get the value of 4 wound bursts still a thing? 22:26
Yes it is. He said so in an other reply, last 24 hours.
Love the guide, would you consider doing UDK vs Other classes in 1v1 situations? Things we should keep in mind, important casts to kick or when is 'best' to use defensives generally, eg IB on recklessness etc. I think it'd be wonderful to have a lot of information especially with all the new hero talents/class changes.
Possibly yeah after I learn all the new stuff each class got for TWW
This is my first dk ever copied your build this is insane !
Thats what we like to hear!
Damn this is so comprehensive, but I just prefer the frost. I desperately need this breakdown in frost.
I will make the frost one soon I just need to test a bunch now this week on stream.
Awesome! Frost next please!
Great vid! You didn't highlight enough how powerful Anti Magic Shield is though. Sure it's a big damage absorb, but it's also a full magical immunity for the duration. It blocks nearly every Debuff from being applied to you besides bleeds. So no one will be able to apply dots or magical CCs.
Yeah your right I could definitely elaborate on that a bit more in the future! Thanks for the feedback
I'm curious if you're doing anything differently now after the nerfs.
Thanks man!!!
watched and rolled a dk. Unrolling after nerfs. Blizzfart
Waiting for that Frost Build!
Me too lol there’s so many options for frost
Need some recommendations for best comps to play with an UHDK!
Cant wait for season start, to Rip and tear ! 😀
Sameeee
(g)rip and tear😂
That explains why Hekili recommends Apocalypse at 1 rune, I thought the rotation addon was cooked!
Haha it was right all along!
damn I brought full Mastery gear lmao
At least it wasn’t conquest gear you’ll have lots of time to switch
what is the point of buying the new boots enchant when the one from DF gives the same amount of speed? thank you
Can you apply it to higher item level pieces? Usually you can’t use previous expac stuff in current gear
Yo ! thanks for that indept guide ! Is the 1 wound apo still a thing or did it get "fixed" ?
Your welcome brotha it still works
Thanks 😊
comparing with FDK, Which one is better?
I’m surprised the magus isn’t that good right now, I really enjoyed the look and vibe of them. I might still try it out just to see, maybe if I go heavy mastery it’ll make it worth it. But will most likely just use your spec as it’s never failed me before
I tried to make a magus build good, I loved magus build from bfa but the magus just hits soooo low numbers in the current tuning.
we need a gearing strategy guide for the first weeks, i.e. what to craft, what to spend conq points on
Twitch.tv/partywafflesx just see what I do
Thank you for the guide , it is wonderful. Regarding San'layn hero talents, how does it compare to riders ?
Sanlayn doenst have good synergy with the good build and felt awkward to play. It’s playable but it felt worse imo.
@Partywaffles How about Epidemic in BGs? Would that be an option to increase spread pressure?
For BGs this coming season yhou thinking frost or unholy?
Both are good hard to say. Frost has alot of aoe stuns but unholy will be more damage likely.
@@Partywaffles feels like the unholy survivalbility will always be hard to beat.
great vid thanks for the info. Would it be possible to put an import string of the base talents in the description so that don't have to just eyeball the talents?
Thanks! And the talent build is already in the description at the top.
Excellent video. How would you say unholy compares to frost for PvP in general?
Unholy is better
@@Partywaffles Is frost still pretty viable in solo shuffle? I'd like to make it to 2.2k this season. I've only played frost so far. Do you think i'm going to have a way harder time achieving this with frost than with unholy?
So waht do you recommend Frost or Unholy for each typ[e of PVP and do you think both are viable?
AYYY LETS GO
What is your target prioritization/kiting?
Targeting whatever I can have uptime on and cleave the most generally.
Same build with the riders nerf?
for RBGs are there any big changes you'd make? Vile Contagion maybe instead of something else to help spread wounds?
You could use vile if you wanted instead of like pestilence or dark transformation
Thanks for the great content dude. Any thoughts on team comp for 3s? Since we’re dot and rot, would we pair well with a big hitter like frost mage? Or stick with Afflock or Spriest and just rot them all down?
Also, can you comment on your macros?
Hey party - what is my prio when standing in defile? Should I cleave with scourge or still want to prio bursting wounds with coil?
Putting aside personal preference, which would you say objectively is better in pvp atm, unholy or frost?
Unholy
Thank you as always! Excellent tips and strats. You gonna main UH or Frost this season?
Yw :) mostly unholy probably
Great guide man! I'm just wondering, what is the green cursor tracker? I've been trying to find it and I can't. Thanks!
It’s a weak aura! It should be in my discord in the description in the weak aura channel.
whats ur going for the crafted item first week of season ?
No idea. Gonna wait a bit and see
Magus of the dead not worth the talent points? They seem to do a lot of damage, but I suppose it’s probably all just pad
The best guides as always, after I discovered you last year I managed to reach 2.5k playing on a controller lol, thanks to your awesome macros and clear explanations
Do you think this season will be better for Frost or Unholy, in solo?
Cheers
That’s an inspirational story, awesome to hear! Honestly right now I think they’re similar in solo shuffle, maybe a slight edge to Unholy.
Hey. Are you planning on doing one for frost as well?
Yeah after I decide which builds I like the most
From what you have tested so far, do you like Unholy or frost more for RBGs?
Not sure honestly I’ll know next week more. Probably unholy if I had to say
Great Work, thanks man! What Latency do u have and so what SpellQueWindow do u use? :)
I think 150? Or like -50 whatever the default is
@@Partywaffles Default SQW is at 400, so u use 350 i guess? :)
What addon is that for the healthbar and rune display under the character? Thanks!
Its just personal resource display in the default interface
what would your CC rotation be like?
Well we only can have asphix or strang not both anymore so pretty much just 1 whichever of those your using.
can you do a pve guide for unholy or is it just better to go frost for mythic/raiding
Possibly, I haven’t done any PVE yet in TWW just been testing PvP for the PvP guides. I think both are good in PvE though.
What is the illusion of black enchantment on the cover of the video?
Sinful gladiator enchant
you got a list of recommended addon's or weak aura you recommend?
Yeah type !addons in my stream chat and all the weak auras I use are in my Discord in the weak aura channel
Another question.For the new bgs would you switch any talent here? Thinking plaguebringer vs clawing shadows
Plaguebringer is better in bgs because it’s buffing your dot which will be on more targets.
Hey new to PVP here, so it may be a silly question. Who should I prioritize in targeting? Mele range healers? ect
T
hank you
Against melee ranged, generally ranged. Healer swaps are good too in some comps
Debating on comp's to play, Do you think Spriest/DK/Evoker will be glad worthy?
Yeah any dk comp is glad viable
@@Partywaffles Maybe for you homie 🤣
So which spec is currently performing better in PvP for Death Knights? I’ve returned to WoW and can’t decide. I used to play both specs before :сс
Unholy
@@MartyW-mz8wc danke
Can you please do a Frost Season 1 Guide? I am assuming 2H is still the way to go
Yeah I will soon. I’m not sure which is better that’s what I’m testing this week before I post it.
Did they change the rotation yet or is apocalypse still the same?
Still the same!
is there a best race to go with a deathknight?
Orc human dark iron dwarf
Is the tier set really that bad? Minion buff seems nice for the horsemen, maybe just 2-set with the best itemized pieces?
Awesome guide btw!
They set bonus is nerfed 50% in PvP so it’s like nothing, but if the tier set ends up being the same ilvl as conquest maybe we could use 2 set. When I was testing it on beta though the tier was lower ilvl so you would lose stats.
what weapon is that in the thumbnail
So i was wondering Gargoyle or Magus army? Didn't see you pop Gargoyle.
This build doesn’t use either of them
hey man, there is a macro to command the 4 horseman to attack the same target?
Nah just have your pet on assist and hope
They hit the right target lol. I don’t think they’re controlled by pet attackZ
Any updates on crafting gear?
Yeah just copy one of my dks there’s multiple ways to gear
Thanks pwaff, i've been vibing with your builds over the last couple seasons.

@@Partywaffles I dont get it either. Care to explain?
do i use contagion instead fo deathcoil in pet crazy fights?
No
Is weapon embellishment good?
Yeah if you pair it with the one that doubles it
What is the macro you use with desecrate that is thrown into the targe?
@cursor dnd macro
@partywafflesx Is there a way to play unholy more as a caster? With Death Coils, plagues and pet's?`Can it be decent you think?
Clawing shadows build plays like that but you still need to fester melee range for wounds. It’s not that good and gets worse as the season goes on
Eventually it will be good again though!
@@Partywaffles thanks for the answer!
I’ll fuck around with it in BG’s for fun ☺️ Got the 30% chance from pet and defile procs to get wounds from range too, so i hope it can work decently. I’m also thinking about going mostly Mastery for max plague/disease dmg
Can you share your weakauras?
Yep they’re in my discord in the weak auras channel
Shouldn't the opener be unholy assault first before any pets? Or do they get the damage after you cast it as well? I tthought they only got the extra damage if you popped it before the pets were summoned.
or is snapshotting not a thing anymore
