Hi everyone, I’ve seen quite a lot of posts and comments talking about Frost DK damage in Mythic+. I thought it would be helpful to put together a video guide where I showcase both the viability of the build, as well as provide gameplay commentary. I got some juicy oblits in this run, 236k was my highest without buffs from bosses n such.
great video and thanks for showing it off in action. i’m glad that at least 2h oblit has some form of niche this patch. but man i wish blizzard would do additional changes to rotational abilites and soul reaper by having them better interact with our passives like icecap and obliteration. we’re really missing out on it.
My biggest gripe atm is GA not working with icecap
Yeah for sure. Frost Scythe, Glacial Advance and Soul Reaper just don’t have enough interaction with our important passives. But scythe is so bad that it needs a lot more than that.
What stats you aiming for the build? I’ve been stacking crit and mastery with trying to get as much haste for fluid windows
I’d run a balance of mastery haste and crit
Oh alright. What about embellished? Neck and belt?
Probably neck and blue linen for M+
Blue lien? Is that the frost fire belt?
No, it’s something you can put on the “normal” crafted gear. Gives mastery when above 90% hp
Would you recomend Blue Linen for any Frost M+ set? I was considering it, but couldn’t find a good way to reliably test it without committing a Spark.
This has almost really has me considering running Frost on my Death Knight, but I also don’t want to be locked to doing Mythic+. I absolutely despise the Breath build, but it looks like my options for raiding are to either suck it up and go Breath or just play Unholy.
Have you tried this for DW Obliteration? It was the best build I could come up with in lower key Dungeons.
I found in pugs below 15s Chill Streak is better overall damage than Frostwyrm due to the amount of MoBs being pulled etc. Empirical Evidence 
.
Id be interested in what somebody playing with premade and high keys thinks about it.
Yeah I think that’s better for M+ compared to belt
I’m not sure if the extra chill streak dmg is worth giving up the 2H increase from MOTFW
To add to biceps comment, I’ve found the additional CS talents buffing #of bounces/damage aren’t very beneficial.
Trash is either dead too quickly in lower keys, or in bigger pulls on higher keys the opportunity for hitting more than two targets multiple times for the damage bonus is low in practice.
I know this is a silly question but what weapon rune would u run with on this build?
Fallen Crusader 100%
Thanks Bud. Good stuff. For so many DK’s any hope for a non-bos build is like manna from heaven.
I’d like to play my DK in DF. I am just now returning to WoW.
I only do M+ with friends so I’ll always have a group but looking at the M+ rankings for Frost it is a pretty sad state of affairs.
I don’t need to top the meters, but do you guys think these numbers reflect your experiences with Oblit in M+?
