Hello everyone! My name is Phyrexial, and I’m a death knight on the Emerald Dream server. Avid pvper and RPer with ~2200 rating experience! I’ve gotten a few asks about DK macros and I’ve had some friends pick up DK with Warlords of Draenor, so here are the ones I use:
#showtooltip Lichborne
/cast !Lichborne;
/cast [target=player] Death Coil
This macro will heal yourself with death coils, so just spam it.
——————
#showtooltip Raise Dead
/cast [nopet] Raise Dead; !Dark Transformation
Handy macro for raising your ghoul. If your ghoul is already active, and dark transformation is available, this same button will use it.
——————
/cast huddle
/cast [@pet] Death Coil
This macro will use your pet’s shield wall and heal your ghoul with death coils if he is being focused.
——————-
#Showtooltip Summon Gargoyle
/Cast Summon Gargoyle
/Use Primal Combatant’s Insignia of Victory
/Pet Attack [@Target]
(or replace Combatant’s with “Gladiator’s”, if you have the CQ one)
Thats your basic burst macro, summons gargoyle, uses your trinket, and makes your ghoul attack your target
——————
#showtooltip Raise Ally
/cast [@mouseover,help][@target]Raise Ally
This macro will use the battle rez on your mouseover target (works on raid/party frames or the actual player, or your current target if you have one selected. This is mostly just for WPVP/PVE, but it is handy.
—————-
Typically I like to keep my pet’s abilities separate, but this macro is handy if you need the leap and stun immediately
#showtooltip gnaw
/petattack [target=focus]
/cast [target=focus] !Leap
/cast [target=focus] !Gnaw
This will cause your pet to use its charge and stun. However I highly recommend keeping separate keybinds for each ability bound, because you won’t always need both, especially if the ghoul is transformed.
—————-
It is always good to macro your ghoul’s basic attack command into something you use often. I use Scourge Strike personally.
#showtooltip Scourge Strike
/Cast Scourge Strike
/Pet Attack
—————
#showtooltip Plague Leech
/cast [target=focus, exists] Plague Leech; Plague Leech
This one is for if you use plague leech. This will use the ability on your focus if you have one. if you don’t have a focus it will just use the ability on your current target.
—————
#showtooltip Asphyxiate
/cast [target=focus, exists] Asphyxiate; Asphyxiate
Same deal as the macro above, but for Asphyxiate talent
