Title: DK Macro to use your cooldowns!
Post by: Acree on Fri, 2009-05-29 : 01:02
First, put on your Frost Fever and Blood Plague, using Icy Touch and Plague Strike, then use your blood strike 2x, making sure both of those runes turn into death runes.  Then, you use this macro:

/cast Unbreakable Armor
/use Sphere of Red Dragon's Blood
/cast Empower Rune Weapon
/cast Deathchill


Proceed to cast obliterate 3x then runic power dump for uber pwnage!  Substitute your trinket of choice if you have better or different.

You can also use...

/use 13
/use 14

...for your two trinket slots so you don't have to change your macros when you upgrade your trinkets.

Are trinkets off gcd now? The one thing that I can think of is how your death runes might not be ready if you fire off that entire macro at once.

You won't be able to fire off both trinkets at once if they're both offensive trinkets, since they trigger a 15sec cooldown on your other slot.  But for instance, on my hunter, I can fire off Blood Fury, Rapid Fire, Bestial Wrath and my Loatheb's Shadow with one button press.

Ok, so just make sure you know your GCDs before going with it. Many times macros can do more harm to your DPS than good.

no, its only 1 trinket.  The other trinket is a proc trinket and not a use trinket.  Thats why I put in the use of the other abilities first.  You want to make sure that your blood runes turn into death runes before you use it.  I have used it to success, being able to fire off 3x Obliterates, with the first one being a guaranteed crit. 

Also about the trinket gcd's.  If you use say Hand Mounted Pyro rockets, those count against your trinket gcd.  So, you can use those after the cooldown is back up.
