How to Kite as a Deathknight

[elinya]

Elinya's DK kite guide (for noobs)

I found it while leveling quite hard to find groups for group quests.
While not finding anyone to help me, all I could to was try to do it by myself.

And so I came to the conclusion: DK's are the best kiters out there.
After a few rounds of trying to refine my technique, I got tired of spamming my different buttons constanly for up to 20 mins just to get down one 5 man mob.

And here it is, my final macro for kiting as a DK

/castsequence reset=combat/target Icy Touch, Chains of Ice, Blood Boil, Blood Boil, Death Coil, Icy Touch, Chains of Ice, Blood Boil, Blood Boil, Death Coil

PS. Dont forget to use your Ghoul for added DPS, trust me it will help!

Depending on your spec, you will build different amounts of Runic Power through this macro, so just run it through once, then if you can, dump the rest of your Runic Power in a Death Coil.
Rinse and repeat.

Good luck!

Eh, IMO you really don't need a macro. You should have all those on your bars. Not trying to flame or stop anyone from repping you, or saying this is useless. I'm trying to say you should have a [For Dummies] tag or something. Like "How to kite as Deathknight [For Dummies]". I do beleive hunter is still THE BEST class to kite with.

I could make a "How to kite as a ret pally [For Dummies]".
1. Use judgement of justice.
2. Use Hammer of justice on a 30 second cool down when its up.
3. RINSE REPEAT.

Came off sounding like an ass but hey, When I see stuff like this I just think "I know there is a noob out there that for whatever reason doesn't have the mental capacity to understand how to kite."

I will have to try this! I have a DK I plan to level up to 80!

You should change it to:

/castsequence reset=combat/target Icy Touch, Chains of Ice, Blood Boil, Blood Boil, Death Coil, Icy Touch, Chains of Ice, Blood Boil, Blood Boil, Death Coil

so that you can utilize the most out of your runes. Change according to talent specs

Time to kite a fel reaver into HH?

Time to kite a fel reaver into HH?

Impossible. He will turn around and evade when you get close to HH (iirc).
