UNHOLY DK PVP - THE "I HAVE A SUGAR RUSH" GUIDE

Intro:
...

TL;DR:

Talents: Big BG/Duels? Grab Corpse Explosion for that "Oops, you died" button. Arena? Drop it. Wandering Plague is meh in 2s. 🥱

Glyphs (The Big 3):

Glyph of Dark Death (Must have)

Glyph of The Ghoul (Must have)

Glyph of Anti-Magic Shell (Or Disease/Icy Touch)

Minor Glyphs: Pestilence, Raise Dead, Death's Embrace. Who cares. 🤷

Macros (The Fun Part):

Pet Kaboom: /target pet /cast Corpse Explosion /targetlasttarget → BOOM! Bye-bye Ghoul, hello kill. 💥

"Get Over Here & Shut Up": /cast [mod:shift, target=focus] Death Grip; Death Grip → Grip + focus grip. Duh.

Emergency Snack: /cast [target=pet,exists,nodead] Death Pact; Raise Dead → Heal 40% or summon a snack. 🍗

Weapon Swap Vibe Check:

Weapon1 Macro: Shadowmourne / Wrathful Decapitator (Spell Shattering enchant - 4% spell deflect, shorter silences). For casters.

Weapon2 Macro: Shadowmourne / Wrathful Greatsword (Sword Shattering enchant - 4% parry, shorter disarms). For melee.
Getting silenced/disarmed? SWAP. Big brain move.

Gear & Stats (Keep it Simple):

Hit: 5% (4.5% works, don't @ me).

Spell Pen: 135 (Gem/enchant it).

Stats: Strength > Crit (if Wandering Plague) > Haste > Resilience (1000-1200 is fine).

Resilience: ~1050 in 2s with a healer. 1200 for 3s. Don't overthink it.

Weapon: Shadowmourne (obviously). Rune of the Fallen Crusader.

Professions: Jewelcrafting (+34 gems) & Engineering (Rocket Boots go brrr & on-use Haste). Fun > everything.

Rotation (The 4-Step Program):

Apply Diseases (Plague Strike, Chains of Ice). ALWAYS.

Scourge Strike (Damage) or Death Strike (Heal).

Pestilence (Spread diseases) or Blood Strike (Single target).

Death Coil spam. Dump that Runic Power! 😤

Key Abilities (The Cheat Codes):

Anti-Magic Shell (AMS): Your "NO" button vs spells. Use it offensively to eat polymorphs/fears and gain Runic Power. Big brain opener. 🧠

Gargoyle: Summon when you have procs/buffs. It scales. Make sure your Ghoul is on target first, or it'll be dumb.

Lichborne: Break fears. Pre-use vs Poly. Cancel it with a macro if needed (/cancelaura Lichborne).

Interrupts: You have 4 (Mind Freeze, Strangulate, Death Grip, Gnaw). DON'T GET FAKED. Wait for 90% cast. Practice.

Duels (The Smackdown):

Melee (Warrior/Rogue/Hunter): Frost Presence. Kite. Let diseases & pet do work. Slow and painful wins. 🐢

Casters: Open with AMS -> Strangulate -> burst. Force defensives. Easy clap.

Ret Paladin / Feral Druid: Harder. Burst rets. Kite ferals. Save stuns/Strangulate for their heals.

Other DKs: Burst wars. AMS their AMS, stun pet, kite gargoyle.

Healers: You're not supposed to win. Burst hard (Gargoyle + Strangulate + Gnaw + Corpse Explosion). Pray. 🙏

Arenas (2s Dream Teams):

#1: Holy Paladin (Best comp, beats almost anything).

#2: Discipline Priest (Aggressive, fun, but squishy).

#3: Shadow Priest (Double DPS chaos. High damage, high risk).

General Tip: Spread diseases. Peels are your job (Chains, Grip, Gnaw). Use pillars. Don't let your healer die in the open.

Conclusion:
Go smash faces. Experiment. This isn't a bible, it's a vibe. 😎
Now get out there and make them regret queuing.

Cheers! ✌️
