Death Knight Macro Guide
January 7, 2009 by Zuggy
Macros for any class are going to be important, but for death knights they are absolutely vital. This death knight macro guide will help you implement key combination macros into your death knight’s arsenal. These macros will help you consolidate keybindings and quicken your overall rotation and hotkey speed. If you have a macro you think should be added to this death knight macro guide please leave a comment below and I’ll add it into the compiled death knight macros list.

Sweet site! This friday (payday) im hookin myself up with one of ur guides… just read the huge page with all the info it sounds so sweet! cant wait… its annoying not having any gold… i really wanna go for that 50-mount achievement, especially since you get an Albino Drake mailed to you when you get it… just about to try out the /startattack
/castsequence reset=6 Plague Strike, Icy Touch, Heart Strike, Heart Strike, Death Strike, Death Coil
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()
macro… thanks again Zuggy!
Vyna (eventually changing name to AnteyeLife)
Just tried out that macro i posted above… awesome!! i love it…
Could you maybe make a panic button for Blood spec? (like with vampiric blood and stuff)?? or is it as easy as substituting the spells?
Thanks again man, love ur stuff!
/cast Death Grip
/cast Dark Command
i dont get it, dg acts as a taunt anyway, why would i want to burn my dark command??
also, one button sacrifice isnt working for me, has anyone else had a problem with it??
one final question, i have runestrike macro’d to all my damage abilities, only difference is im casting the runestrike after the move, is there any benefit to casting rs first? or is that just how you happened to do it.
/cast Lichborne
/cast Unbreakable Armor
/cast Icebound Fortitude
if your a dwarf don’t forget to stick in stoneskin for that extra bit of mitigation
I have a Macro that i think will increase DPS output for the blood spec rotation in raids especialy if you have the glyph to enhance the damage your Plague Strike does by 20% if a disease already exists on a target, namely Frost Fever from Icy Touch.This is for the 51/13/7 build that takes advantage of diseases and Death Runes to do high DPS output through Obliterate. It can be started on the run to a target as soon as Icy Touch is in range. THX /startattack
/castsequence reset=6 Icy touch, Plague strike, Heart Strike, Heart Strike, Obliterate, Death Coil
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear()
using these macros i have doubled my dps.
