Frost Death Knight Mythic+ Guide

Offensive Nodes

• Rider's Champion - Each Rune spent gives you a 10% chance to summon one of the following Four Horsemen:
  • Mograine
    • Puts up a Death and Decay that follows him.
      • You gain the benefit of Mograine's Might and Unholy Ground if you are standing in this.
  • Whitemane
    • Undeath is a disease with a 24 second duration that spreads and gains 1 stack every time you use Obliterate on the infected target.
  • Trollbane
    • Repeatedly casts Chains of Ice over his duration that gets shattered by Obliterate with Trollbane's Icy Fury.
  • Nazgrim
    • Grants you 5% Strength, increasing by 1% for every Rune spent while Nazgrim is active.
• Apocalypse Now
  • Summons all 4 Horsemen for 20 seconds after casting Frostwyrm's Fury making Absolute Zero mandatory to line this up with every other use of Pillar of Frost allowing for huge burst every 1m30s.
    • If a Horsemen is already out, it extends the current duration by 20 seconds instead.
      • Mograine does not recast his Death and Decay but all other Horsemen recast their abilities.
• Hungering Thirst
  • Passively increases Frost Fever and Frost Strike damage.
• Mawsworn Menace
  • Increases Obliterate damage by 10% and reduces the cooldown of Death and Decay by 10 seconds allowing you to use 2 charges of Death and Decay during Pillar of Frost in AoE.

Offensive Choice Nodes

• Fury of the Horsemen or A Feast of Souls
  • Fury of the Horsemen increases the duration of your Horsemen while they are up but A Feast of Souls enables massive Frost Strikes periodically and is prolonged during Apocalypse Now. When combined with Shattering Blade and Shattered Frost this is especially powerful. As this is purely a numbers difference, A Feast of Souls currently wins when paired with Shattering Blade.

Defensive Choice Nodes

• Death Charge or On a Paler Horse
  • On a Paler Horse does not work at all in this raid so you always choose Death Charge which is not a bad thing as this greatly increases your mobility and allows you to break roots and slows.
• Horsemen's Aid or Pact of the Apocalypse
  • Horsemen's Aid depends on the value of Anti-Magic Shell during the fight as this can be incredibly potent allowing you to pre-immune debuffs or randomly absorb high amounts of magic damage. On the other hand, Pact of the Apocalypse grants you 5% damage reduction per Horsemen out or a 20% damage reduction during your cooldowns with Apocalypse Now. Due to the situational value of both of these, there is no auto pick for this as it just depends on the fight.

Opener

• This is an example of an opener on Single Target when talented into Breath of Sindragosa.

• In the Breath of Sindragosa opener, how fast you get in to Breath of Sindragosa depends on what procs you get. If you get a lot of procs you can delay up until the point where you are capped on Runic Power.
• In a sense, the same thing goes for Empower Rune Weapon. This can be delayed if you end up going in to Breath with high amounts of resources, but it is very normal to have to use it right with Pillar on pull as it is not normal to get an excessive amount of procs.

During Breath Priority List

• Cast Reaper's Mark when it is ready.
• Cast Pillar of Frost when it is ready.
• Cast Remorseless Winter if you are not in Pillar of Frost.
  • While in Pillar, if you are above 60 Runic Power, do not have a Killing Machine or Rime proc, and Remorseless Winter is already stacked, you can refresh Remorseless Winter.
• Cast Obliterate if you are not above 80 Runic Power and have a Killing Machine.
• Cast Howling Blast when you have Rime and you have more than 60 Runic Power.
• Cast Obliterate if you are not above 80 Runic Power.
• Cast Horn of Winter if you are not wasting Runic Power and Runes.
• Cast Death and Decay.

Priority While not in Breath

• Cast Frost Strike if Icy Talons and Unleashed Frenzy are about to expire.
• Cast Remorseless Winter.
• Cast Reaper's Mark when it is ready.
• Cast Pillar of Frost when it is available.
• Cast Obliterate when you have a Killing Machine.
• Cast Howling Blast when you have Rime.
• Cast Frost Strike.
• Cast Obliterate.
• Cast Horn of Winter if you are not wasting Runic Power and Breath of Sindragosa has more than 30 seconds remaining on its' cooldown.
• Cast Abomination Limb if you have nothing else.

During Pillar of Frost Priority

This priority is used during Pillar of Frost while not in Breath.

• Cast Obliterate when you have a Killing Machine.

• Cast Frost Strike if you have 5 Razorice stacks on your target.
• Cast Howling Blast when you have Rime.
• Cast Frost Strike.
• Cast Howling Blast if you do not have a Killing Machine.

Opener

• This is an example of an opener on AoE when talented into Breath of Sindragosa.

• In the Breath of Sindragosa opener, how fast you get in to Breath of Sindragosa depends on what procs you get. If you get a lot of procs you can delay up until the point where you are capped on Runic Power or when Reaper's Mark is about to explode as you want to get that in Pillar of Frost.
• In a sense, the same thing goes for Empower Rune Weapon. This can be delayed if you end up going in to Breath with high amounts of resources, but it is very normal to have to use it right with Pillar on pull as it is not normal to get an excessive amount of procs.

During Breath Priority List

• Cast Reaper's Mark when it is ready.
• Cast Pillar of Frost when it is ready.
• Cast Remorseless Winter if you are not in Pillar of Frost.
  • While in Pillar, if you are above 60 Runic Power, do not have a Killing Machine or Rime proc, and Remorseless Winter is already stacked, you can refresh Remorseless Winter.

Priority While not in Breath

• Cast Frost Strike if Icy Talons and Unleashed Frenzy are about to expire.
• Cast Remorseless Winter.
• Cast Reaper's Mark when it is ready.
• Cast Pillar of Frost when it is available.
• Cast Death and Decay if you have 2 charges.
• This is only cast if you have 1 or 2 targets, never above 3.
• Cast Obliterate when you have a Killing Machine.
• Cast Howling Blast when you have Rime.

• Cast Obliterate.
• Cast Horn of Winter if you are not wasting Runic Power and Breath of Sindragosa has more than 30 seconds remaining on its' cooldown.
• Cast Abomination Limb if you have nothing else.

During Pillar of Frost Priority

This priority is used during Pillar of Frost while not in Breath.

• Cast Death and Decay
  • Ideally this is cast before Pillar as in this spec Pillar only lasts for 12 seconds and Death and Decay lasts for 14 seconds assuming you are standing in it the entire time.
• Cast Obliterate when you have a Killing Machine.
• Cast Howling Blast if Frost Fever is missing.
• Cast Frost Strike if you have 5 Razorice stacks on your target.
• Cast Howling Blast when you have Rime.
• Cast Frost Strike.
• Cast Howling Blast if you do not have a Killing Machine.

Breath of Sindragosa

As you usually only talent into this with Breath of Sindragosa, this is only used when you do not have Runes to spend on an Obliterate, or a Rime empowered Howling Blast when talented in to Rage of the Frozen Champion and you do not overcap on Runic Power and Runes when casting.

You can use this once outside of Breath of Sindragosa and is generally used well around the time you cast Reaper's Mark as you are regularly running out of resources around that time.

Use this as a filler global when you have nothing else to press or when walking in to packs. It does not deal enough damage to be worth pressing otherwise. If you can, try to use it when you can get value going in to Pillar of Frost or after with Enduring Strength.

You should macro this in with either of Pillar of Frost or Empower Rune Weapon as this does not do enough to offset from either of these.
