Death Knight · DPS
Frost Death Knight rotation assistant for World of Warcraft
Breath and Pillar windows, held until the adds are actually stacked.
Rice Rotations reads your Frost Death Knight from the game picture, decides which ability comes next, and presses the key for it from a second PC or a virtual machine. It runs on World of Warcraft Midnight retail and on Mists of Pandaria Classic, and the profile is included in the same subscription as the other thirty-nine specializations.
How the Frost Death Knight profile plays
Frost is a proc reaction spec. Rice watches Killing Machine and Rime, spends Killing Machine on Obliterate rather than letting it expire, dumps Runic Power with Frost Strike before it caps, and keeps Remorseless Winter and Frost Fever rolling while runes cycle.
DPS is about never wasting a global. Rice keeps your builder and spender priority correct through procs and haste changes, lines burst cooldowns up with the window they are meant for, and switches to the multi-target priority when the pull is actually stacked rather than when a timer says so.
The profile reacts to the pull instead of replaying a fixed list: interrupts fire on casts that matter, dispels go out when a debuff lands, and cooldowns are held for the burst window rather than used the moment they come up. Dozens of Frost Death Knight settings decide how aggressive or how conservative that behaviour is, so a raid night and a Mythic+ push can use different profiles of the same spec.
Cooldowns and burst windows
Pillar of Frost is lined up with your other majors and with Empower Rune Weapon so the burst lands in one window. On a Breath of Sindragosa build the profile only opens the channel with enough Runic Power and rune coverage to hold it, then feeds it instead of letting it drop after four seconds.
What the Frost Death Knight rotation handles
- Killing Machine and Rime procs used before they fall off
- Runic Power dumped before it caps, not on cooldown
- Pillar of Frost and Empower Rune Weapon lined up together
- Breath of Sindragosa opened only when it can be sustained
Raid, Mythic+ and the rest
Single target keeps the Obliterate and Frost Strike priority clean. On a pack it switches to Howling Blast and Remorseless Winter cleave and spends Killing Machine differently, and it only commits the multi target build when the mobs are actually stacked and going to live long enough.
Raid nights, Mythic+ keystones, delves, world content and levelling alts. Rice Rotations is built and tuned for PvE, so there are no arena or battleground profiles. The desktop client is Windows only.
Setup and safety
Nothing is attached to the game: there is no injection, no memory reading and no unlocker. Rice runs on a second PC or a virtual machine, reads your gaming PC as a video stream and sends keystrokes back, so the machine running World of Warcraft only ever sees keyboard input arriving.
- Built and tuned for PvE. No arena or battleground profiles.
- Midnight retail is supported.
- Classic is Mists of Pandaria only, so no Era, no Wrath, no other ruleset.
Frost Death Knight questions
- Does the profile play Breath of Sindragosa builds?
- Yes, and it is one of the better reasons to use an assistant on Frost: the channel is unforgiving about Runic Power and rune management, and the profile only starts it when it can keep it running.
- Will it waste Killing Machine procs?
- No. Procs are read as they appear and spent on the correct spender before they expire, which is the part that costs most players the most damage.
