[PQR] Frost DW PvE

[weyounthree]

Please refer to this thread ([PQR] DK PvE Profiles) for my profiles.

I am using frost dw as a dk, and i must say that blood tap is not worth it. Runic empowerment is better. I must test your profile tomorrow, but i looked at some of the code and it looked fine.

Actually I think that BT is very well worth it as you can control it, i.e. it is an active ability.
For example my profile will keep track when Soul Reaper is off cooldown and when it is and there is no rune ready, it will blood tap to be able to use soul reaper.
Same applies to rime procs.

I agree that it might not be that big of a difference (~1K DPS) and it is a DPS loss if not used correctly, but I actually tested with both builds and BT came out ahead.

Hey weyounthree,

Thx for sharing your awesome work! Just did a first try on the Training Dummy, worked very well.
About the BT Thing , as you said, its definitive better than RE. Last sim was around 1k+ DpS as DW.

Im going to test a bit more now, and give some Feedback

With plague leech, it seems like it wastes runes in AoE on refreshing with pestilence when it doesn't need to because it refreshes every time it refreshes blood plague, but other than that it looks really good. Glad to see an AoE profile with pestilence support regardless. Keep up the good work!

Edit: Removing plague leech from the AoE rotation will likely solve this.

I'm not sure if understand you correctly.
But as it is, blood plague will eventually run off, so I would have to refresh it anyways.
What I do is ... use plague leech when it is about to run off and get an extra rune in return which I use to refresh plague leech. Then I use an additional rune to spread blood plague. So in this case (using blood strike and outbreak alternatly) I spent one rune on spreading diseases every minute (the other runes I use are "free" because of plague leech).

I actually did some calculations if other talents would be better to use in an AoE scenario, i.e. using unholy blight over plague leech, but plague leech came out ahead when it came to runes used.

But if I missed something in my considerations, please enlighten me and I would change the rotation for a dps gain.

Just broke 3 previous best DPS scores using your profile on first half of MGV LFR. Ranked in all 3 fights. Definitely a very solid profile.

• Lei Shi (not attacking Lei Shi with abilities when immune) - working
• Protectors of the Endless
  
  • Using AMS to be immune to Lighning Prision - working
  • Using Icy Touch to remove Cleansing Waters when glyphed - working
• Amber-Shaper Un'sok
  
  • Interrupting Boss/self - not tested ... I had to change the original code, because it was not working for me
  • Not attacking Amber-Shaper with abilities when he taking 90% less damage - working
• Spirit Kings HC [thanks to Xelper] - working
• Gara'jal the Spiritbinder (crossover from spirit world) - working

Because of RNG I might not be able to test specific encounters, so if you feel lucky, feel free to test it and please report back if it's working or not.

Wey here is my testing for your 1.0 profile. I've tested every current DK profile, with the exception of Soapbox's 2.0 (trying to do that this weekend). Here are my result for yours along with screenshots. It is the top performing profile for my gear set up atm. Thanks again for releasing this.

All of my tests were done on the Silvermoon City Raider's Target Dummy. The only buffs used were stat food (+250), Flask (+1000) and Horn of Winter. Army of the Dead and Mogu potions were not used. Tests lasted 10 minutes on every run.

Rubim 4.86 Blood Tap (Base line, current best single target for my gear)
Test1: 73,192 DPS
Test2: 71,652 DPS
Test3: 71,879 DPS
Test4: 72,540 DPS
AVG: 72,316 DPS

Wey 1.0 Blood Tap
Test1: 73,528 DPS
Test2: 71,516 DPS
Test3: 74,534 DPS
Test4: 73,518 DPS
AVG: 73,274

Any plans putting in Racials + gloves?

Any plans putting in Racials + gloves?

I neither have engineering nor a char with racials I could use for testing.
So unless someone pops up who is willing to test and debug it for me, it is likely not going to happen.

Easiest way to code in gloves is in the ability editor you select pillars of frost, goto the actions box, put /use 10 in that box and hit save

So I guess the gloves are off GCD.
I was actually thinking of a more sophisticated approach with detection of the enchant, but as I said ... I got no way to test it.

I added in Blood Fury and Lifeblood (Herbalism) to the code for Raise Dead as they are all 2 minute cooldowns .

Here is my code snippet for the "Raise Dead" section of the profile.

local PQ_RaiseDead = PQ_RaiseDead
local SpecialUnit = SpecialUnit

if PQ_CanCast
and PQR_SpellAvailable(PQ_RaiseDead)
	and (SpecialUnit() or PQ_CD)
	and IsSpellInRange(GetSpellInfo(PQ_PlagueStrike), "target") == 1 then
		CastSpellByName(GetSpellInfo(PQ_RaiseDead), "player")
		CastSpellByID(121279)	--Lifeblood
		CastSpellByID(20572)	--Orc Blood Fury
		return true
end
