Death Knight Macro: Rune Strike Wrapper

Here’s a cool macro template to get your rune strike into your opponent’s face:

#showtooltip Blood Strike
/cast [nomodifier] Rune Strike
/cast Blood Strike

Make one for each of your relevant runic abilities (not RP, only runes) and you’ll be sure to dump RS whenever the opportunity is up.

If you need to conserve RP for Dancing Rune Weapon or a Gargoyle, simply hold down any modifier key and the spell will be cast without RS. Oh, and make sure RS is first in your macro, the other abilities are on a cooldown, which would prevent RS from being cast on the same keypress otherwise.

Death Knight Learning Curve, a Good Place to Train

In HFP, there’s the Valley of Bones, close to Zeth’Gor, with buzzards which will normally aggro on death. With Death Grip, you can pull one away safely, kill it, and then start a 3-4 buzzard chain in short sequence.

These chains should be a good way to get really familiar with the cooldowns of abilities, and if you’re blood or unholy, death rune buildup and consumption.

Bonus point, the buzzards can also be integrated in a quest chain at the nearby Zeppelin crash site (after stealing ravager eggs and purifying hellboar meat), and there are tons of Zeppelin debris around for the collection quest you can get at the same place.
