Perma Death Rune for DK's

[Xiandri]

This bug will allow you to permanently have a deathrune up (i.e it never turns back into a Blood rune, it will always 'recharge' back into a deathrune)

This is good because:
- A Death Rune can be used to power ANY type of ability
- You don't have to keep using blood strike to get deathrune
- You can use Icy Touch / Plague Strike 3 times in a row instead of 2 times

For this to work you need:
- To be a Death Knight
- Unholy Spec
- Have the 'Reaping' talent which turns Blood Runes into Death Runes for one time use.


How to do it:
1. Get 2 Death Runes available (you can do this by using Blood Strike twice)
2. Wait untill the runes are 'recharged' (so they ready to use)
3. Use Blood Strike, so it puts one of the death runes on CD
4. Use Icy Touch, so that now both Death Runes are recharging
5. Use Blood Tap
6. Now you should notice that ONE of the runes will be a PERMANENT Death Rune, nomatter what spell or attack you use it will ALWAYS 'recharge' as a Death Rune and it will stay as a deathrune untill you change zone, die or log off

You will still have to wait for the death rune to recharge of course, but it just means you can spam icy touch 3 times.etc, and don't have to waste time using blood strike twice to get 2 death runes Found this info on EJ forum but I doubt they will notice its an exploit. it actually allows you to increase your DPS by quite alot though, if you know how to use this trick effectively

Confirmed, either fixed or doesn't work. It looked like it works at first, but eventually just doesn't and converts back. :'(

After spending a few hours the other night on a target dummy, I've determined what causes this behavior, and I'm looking for confirmation. To get a permanent blood-as-death rune, here's what needs to happen:

have two death runes off cooldown. Use the first one on a blood strike to keep it as a death rune, but start its cooldown. Now, use the second rune for something else (ie, icy touch). Both runes should have their cooldowns running, with the first a D and the second a B. Now, hit blood tap. The first rune (D) will immediately finish its cooldown, and the B will turn into a D, and finish its cooldown in due time. For whatever reason, this sequence will trap the second blood rune as a death rune until you die, change zones, or log out.

shadowalkerdk = lol. he said he found it on EJ. EJ = eletestjerks forum. so well done in pointing out what the op already said.

[CareyBizzle]

Not alot of people know of EJ so I think its a good contribution.

So that is the reason why unholy is doing better dps then blood....if this works though, too bad I can't see their runes and such.

um.. I said in my first post I got it from EJ...

[evilgoat]

He did say use Icy Touch to get rid of a Death Rune so make sure that you're not using icy touch just ONCE you'll probably need to hit it 3 times because both of your frost runes will take priority (havent tried it yet btw)

Anyone confirmed if its been fixed?
