Kommentar von Kevin92091

if you've got bladed armor, this is a great skill. the +armor=+damage. and with the baseline str=parry rating, the +str=even higher parry. awsome tanking skill.

Kommentar von Brachamul

This think can be up for 20 seconds. You can also use Icebound Fortitude for an extra 18 seconds of 50% reduced damage. Once every three minutes, you can even use Lichborne for 15 seconds.

In effect, this means you can stay very well protected a lot of the time.

Also, you can use all these at the same time for a total :
-50% damage
+25% armor
+25% miss against you
+5% parry
+10% strength

Even with avoidance diminishing returns, that's just huge.

Kommentar von wuzzuuuuuup

Avoidance provided by abilities and talents are not subject to diminishing returns.

It's avoidance provided by gear (and, in the case of Death Knights, Forceful Deflection) that is subject to diminishing returns.

So the Parry and Miss given by the Lichborne/Unbreakable combo will be exactly the amount indicated by the tooltip.

Kommentar von tret33

Since they are all off the global cooldown, you can combine them into one macro for an oh !@#$ button.
#showtooltip Lichborne
/cast Lichborne
/cast Unbreakable Armor
/cast Icebound Fortitude

This macro will immediately cast all 3 of them, no need to spam it. And it'll show the icon for lichborne.

Kommentar von theakismaniac

kind if a pain to put up as frost at least not until you have death runes available (either through blood of the north or blood tap), wish it used runic power instead or something

reason is simple, it uses a frost rune, as frost almost right away you have used your 2 frost runes on Icy Touch and like a Howling blast, so without death runes or skipping something in your rotation, you can understand why its annoying to put up... other specs have the similiar issues, such as unholy using anti-magic zone/shell (used unholy runes on plague strike/scourge strike), and blood using any AoE (pestilence and blood boil both using blood runes)

the talent itself is decent and on a short cooldown, it can even be used offensively (+10% strength)

Kommentar von Addfwyn

Not necessarily, Bladed Armour's bonus AP doesn't happen instantly, it 'checks' your armour every so often, roughly every 20 seconds. It's possible to use this and instantly get the bonus AP, but also possible to use it and not see the AP until right at the end.

It's still an immense tanking and dps talent however, just be aware you won't always get the AP from BA the second you use it.

Kommentar von DrPancake

And Immunity to Fear, Stun, Charm, Sleep, and Humanoid-Based effects, nothing to scoff at.

Kommentar von Sihrtogg

Does the armor buff stack with Inspiration?

Kommentar von tdietrich

Just macro a blood tap right into it. Problem solved.

Kommentar von Maxtro

If you happen to be a Dwarf Death Knight like me then add
/cast Stoneform

Which will also make you immune to Bleed, Poison, and Disease. In addition your Armor is increased by 10%.

Kommentar von DrPancake

Yes. It would be pointless if it didn't.

Kommentar von DrPancake

Preferably with the Glyph of Blood Tap.... Otherwise you'll be taking damage in a situation where you likely do not want to be taking damage...

Kommentar von Zerul

Easily applicable for a DPS rotation, thanks to Blood Tap.

Simply, at any given time where you consume both Death Runes and have them turned in to Blood Runes again, you pop Blood Tap -> Unbreakable Armor, both of which are off the GCD by the way. This gives a flat-out increase in AP to increase your damage.

I haven't used this too much in PVP yet. However, seeing as how Frost DKs often have trouble surviving against Double-DPS, you may want to use Unbreakable Armor along with the standard Frost Presence + Lichborne + IBF to survive long enough for them to instead focus on your partner. Still, it consumes a Frost Rune and is a waste to use in most cases. With the new PVP glove effect, however, things may be different...

Kommentar von hntd

This ability is going to be changing in 3.1. It will now absorb a flat amount of damage based on your armor rather then increase the death knight's armor.

Kommentar von Cavendar

Also, when you use the macro, don't be surprised by the fact that the Blood Rune you just refreshed and used is still a Death Rune for 20 seconds.

Just make sure to not use the macro when UA is on the GCD. This will activate Blood Tap but not Unbreakable Armor. For this reason it might be a good idea to have UA on your action bar next to the macro.

Kommentar von BattleFreak

Unbreakable Armor (Tier 8 ) now Reinforces your armor with a thick coat of ice, reducing physical damage from all attacks by 0.05 and increasing your strength by 25% for 20 sec. The amount of damage reduced increases as your armor increases. (Previously just increased armor by 25%, strength by 10%, and parry by 5%)

http://www.mmo-champion.com/index.php?topic=40602.0

This 0.05 part I'm confused about. Would it be a tooltip error or not? 0.05 looks like nothing compared to what you will get hit by.

Edit: Ok I think I understand now. The 0.05 is a base line damage reduction. It increases by the amount of armor you have.
Anyone in the PTR have any numbers on this?

Kommentar von Gnaeus

Any information on what the glyph will do to it now?

Kommentar von cyborg99

Requires Undead

Does this mean you'll have to macro it with Lichborne? :S

Kommentar von Gnaeus

Theirs always some typos and mistakes when they editing information for upcoming patches.....so we hope.

Kommentar von halostrike

Does this mean you'll have to macro it with Lichborne? :S

As of the latest PTR patch (March 04, 2009), Unbreakable Armor does not require the activation of Lichborne.

Kommentar von czokalapik

Armor*0,05 pert hit absorbed, increased by glyph (20%) its 0,06.
Taking 30k armor UA will absorb 1500 dmg every hit, and with glyph 1800.
For 20 seconds its 10-15 boss hits (theoretycaly), so glyphed its 18-27k dmg reduced.

For me this talent is amazing now.
IBF in frost lasts 18 secons, UA 20, thats 38 seconds per minute with7 cooldowns, really great cooldowns.
After some nerfs to DK tanking this along with IFB will be used every single cooldown.

Kommentar von Brachamul

You missed that the cooldown is brought to 2 minutes instead of 1 now.

Kommentar von Gnaeus

The CD being 2 mins is fair seeing it will absorb ALL damage sources :)

Kommentar von czokalapik

I haven't. When i posted this it still was 1min :)

Kommentar von nanaski

If the number above is correct it's pretty amazing for Physical mitigation, although UA has always been that way. I would have hoped they would help deep frost in magic mitigation a bit more. Unholy and Blood are still much better off at dealing with large magic damage spikes - Bone Armor and Will of the Necropolis respectively.

It's still better than the old version anyway, which was 0% magic absorbed.

Kommentar von Issaac

As of 3.1 Lichborne no longer provides a 25% chance to miss.

Kommentar von Skullhawk13

This can break =<

Kommentar von dimmak42

The way this mechanic works is that your Armor is multiplied by 5% (6% with a glyph). The resulting number is removed from all attacks.

For example at 30K armor you have a damage reduction of 1500 from all attacks. Hit by a 5k attack you actually take 3500 instead. Hit by a 200 points attack you take 0 damage. This thing is amazing on trash that can't put out attacks over 2000 damage.

I am uncertain how this interacts on dots. I imagine that it reduces the over all dot and not the individual tick as it would be far too powerful to suddenly negate all dots that tick for less than a thousand damage.

Death knights now have a bubble similar to Paladins; I personally like powers that imply all Death Knights were once Paladins but that's just because I love the Arthus story line... or is it the Cecil story line in reverse?

In any event, frost now has 20 seconds of UAplus 18 seconds of IBF, that 38 seconds reduced damaged. Combine that with 7% damage reduction from Frost presence and another 5% from the new blade barrier there is a lot of mitigation there. I envision frost tanks to be more of a frozen meat shield rather than an avoidance tank. Though we still have the ability to pick up Frigid Death Plate and Anticipation for 8% more avoidance.

Kommentar von GameCobra

I love this new talent after trying it out on live.

it basically acts like the Frost DK got a temporary shield equipped for 20 seconds, except it reduces everything. and rather than using a block value, it uses your total armor as the amount you technically "block" with. the extra strength is a nice touch for extra DPS if you're already Strength heavy too. i seen my extra min/max damage increase by 200-400 at times thanks to buffs. so this move should be used either for a decent DPS increase in Blood or Unholy, or a massive damage sponge in Frost.

some things to note PvP wise is that the person hitting you if they ain't hitting you hard enough it pops up as a "absorb" effect. i had guys hitting me thinking there was a priest nearby, or at least were smart enough to back off once they started noticing the absorb message popping up all the time because of the new talent change. the best use i found for this was in AV or WSG or anything where you're the center of attention. you COULD use this in Blood and Unholy and absorb a decent amount of small damage and hit like a truck, but once you go Frost PResence, the amount of damage you absorb can be absurb at times and you hit as if you were in Blood Presence at times i find. a really awesome talent i find now. makes me feel almost like a protection warrior =)

Kommentar von Ansi

As of 3.1, I find this talent incredible.

The bonus armor from Frost Presence also increases the amount of damage absorbed.

It is very good for AOE soloing. You can basicly have 50 mobs on you without taking any damage at all.

Very useful for PvP vs any class. 20 seconds is a long time.

Creatures cannot daze you, when this is active. Pop this if you're running away from a bad situation.

Kommentar von Findorn

Excellent AoE tanking talent, and a damn nice boss tanking talent in general.

My gear isn't too hot but I'm still losing around 1,500 damage a hit. And yes you can absorb a whole blow. Which means on AoE pulls where you have hundreds of guys hitting you for say 1k a piece, you are taking no damage. Hell even if they hit you for 2k a piece, they is down to 500, which is much more reasonable. For bosses that 1,500 can be the difference between a healer getting the heal off, or not. Quick math

20 seconds
1,500 damage off a swing.
Assuming a boss has a 2 second swing timer the boss gets 10 hits off.
At around 50% avoidance lets assume 5 go through.
That is 7,500 damage off right there.

You may say ehhh not that much. But if say one of your two healers is out of mana and using divine plea, waiting for mana, ect this could be a god send. And the difference between death or life. In addition that was a conservative look at it. In reality most bosses have a number of instant attacks or hell even a DoT they can put on you. If that DoT is ticking for less then 1,500 you just essentially negated it right there (or at least took a lot of the power out of it)

Of course the Str increase will also=more threat (hitting harder), and more avoidance (Str->Parry Rating). In my current gear, unbuffed I get around .8 more parry from my Str. Which isn't including buffs like Kings. And that .8 could be the difference between an attack that kills you and one that doesn't.

Combined with other cooldowns this can make you essentially immune to damage. Chain comboed with a anti magic shell, Icebound Fortitude, and say a dodge trinket or something similar you will take ridiculously little damage.

For example I was OTing 10 man VoA today on the new boss. For some reason the MT tank died. I quickly taunted the boss. Now that I had all 5 mobs on me I blew every tanking CD I have. The one add reached full enrage and slaughtered everybody but me, and left me at around 60%. After around 15 seconds I was down to 50%. One of the major reasons I lasted so long with no heals against a boss and 4 adds is this spell. Each add was hitting me for around 1400. Which meant the adds were doing no damage to me! That only left the boss who was rarely hitting me, and when he did hit for a pitiful amount.

Course after they all wore off I died, but I think this helps point out the usefulness of this on and boss, or pull with a number of adds whose damage comes from multiple enemies whose damage stacks up.

Kommentar von SixOneNine

As of right now the spell is some what bugged. I still take damage from almost all shadow sources (locks dots, blood plague, etc), as well as several other things. Also doesn't stop damage from XT 002's Tympanic Tantrum.

Kommentar von Valpants

Tympanic Tantrum does damage based on your maximum health and therefore can not be mitigated by abilities like this, much like KT's ice tombs.

Kommentar von Thrakin

The mitigation is equal to 5% of your total armor. (Didn't see it listed). This means that for every 20 armor you gain 1 mitigation.

Kommentar von NonsenseGibber

Icebound Fortitude does reduce the damage of Tympantic Tantrum. Very effective.
I usually pop IBF and AMS of new sources of damage just to check mitigation.

Kommentar von Groundlord

Unbreakable Armor

Reinforces your armor with a thick coat of ice, reducing damage from all attacks by and increasing your Strength by 25% for 20 sec. The amount of damage reduced increases as your armor increases.

.........Wha?

Kommentar von Kurtosis

I have heard (but not tested) that you can force a server refresh by casting Horn of Winter immediately after UA, which will also make UA apply to Bladed Armor immediately.

Kommentar von kylex3

this spell is so strong against rogues :s basically makes a DK immune to our damage as it is all low fast hits

seriously this will negate every single amount of damage a rogue does for the full 20 seconds... so OP in group PvP

Dks version of divine shield >_>

Kommentar von yarai

Didn't see anyone post this, but UA may be a worthwhile talent to get in DPS frost (lolwut) due to the 25% increased strength. The increase stacks with Blessing of Kings as well as Rune of the Fallen Crusader. Always fun to run around with 2K+ strength!

Kommentar von QuaStormrage

It is, in my mind, this a required talent for any Frost DPS DKs that raid. The extra strength is very important and on fights like Hodir will allow for frost strike and obliterate crits to be higher -- about 25% higher in fact. If people didn't know, Hodir is an amazing fight for DKs because of our passive 200% crit bonus and the raid buffs gained from the NPCs during the encounter.

Kommentar von vmega

Can it be dispelled from Tranquilizing Shot?

Kommentar von Agent

I've seen many say over the forums that this is a bad DPS talent since it messed up your rotation so much that the DPS gain is lost due to the broken rotation.
In my opinion, this should be used with Blood Tap in the following manner:
When you have 2 available blood runes, fire off a Blood Strike, then Blood Tap, this should give you 2 available Death Runes. Use one to start Unbreakable Armor, and the other for blood strike. This way you lose one rotation of Obliterate instead of two.
It still is tricky and you should be careful with it, but the DPS addition can be quite nice.

Kommentar von CanuckBuck

as stated above

School = Physical

it is neither a magic effect nor an enrage and thus cannot be dispelled

Kommentar von frmorrison

From PTR 3.2.2 notes:
# Unbreakable Armor now increases your armor by 25% and increasing your Strength by 10% for 20 sec.

So it increases armor instead of just reducing damage by a flat amount, which makes it more useful to both dps and tanking, but weaker in PvP.

The good way to use this is after all your runes are used, pop Blood Tap then UA for "free".

Kommentar von Sapphidia

The change in 3.2.2 certainly makes UA a much more attractive raid-tank talent. Its pvp utility has taken a major nerf, but then it was pretty overpowered against certain classes like rogues.

The major thing is the nerf down to 10% strength. Using UA, even with blood tap, was only a minor damage boost due to the DPS loss you suffered due to the slight messing of your rotation and loss of blood rune. Dropping the damage bonus down to 10% will likely mean it simply isnt worth it to take it in a DPS build at all, unless they change the mechanic of Bladed Armor so you can be sure that you get full benefit of the 25% armor boost.

Kommentar von Zurr

After doing some math with a spread sheet, the new unbreakable armor (with 3.2.2) will be twice as effective against physical attacks against average raid boss hits. However, it is a big nerf for dungeons and mobs that hit for small numbers.

Hits for around 10,000 is where the old/new lines intersect, hits for more is where the older version was better and above is where the new version is better.

These calculations, however, do not take avoidance gained from strength into account and only apply to when you are actually hit with a physical attack.

Kommentar von highwind123

dont see the problem with the rotation.

make a macro and couple it with blood tap

when u have full set of runes start with it+ps, obliterate, one bloodstrike, use the macro, another bloodstrike and then continue as normal - this way it will cost u only one gcd and u will have both deathrunes up in the following rune set (due to the small bug that occurs when u use blood tap with one blood rune up)

though it was better on a 2 min cd with 25% inceased str it is still a dps increase for frost dps builds

Kommentar von Agent

Looking at some numbers, in it's current version (3.2.2) with my current armor - 27600 (after frost presence), the cooldown gives ~8.1% physical dmg reduction and ~13.2% when glyphed, which is not half bad !
Seeing that it's 1 min cooldown now and it last for 20 sec, this seems pretty sweet. Here are some possible usages:

1) Once you engage the boss, use it in your first rotation so you get get a small threat lead from the 10% str and help your healers get into position and the rhythm of the fight.
2) Panic button - Although not recommended since even 13% won't save you against any boss.
3) Event time it's available to act as a shield basically.

Lastly, you should macro this ability to use Blood tap, it should look like:
/cast Blood Tap
/cast Unbreakable Armor
/cancelaura Blood Tap
you need to click the macro twice in a row.

Math: 27600 base armor. 27600*1.25=34500 with UA, 27600*1.45=40020 with Glyph. (It might be 1.25*1.2=1.5, I'm not sure but it's not a big diff)
dmg reduction formula is Armor/(Armor+(467.5*83 - 22167.5))
bonus damage reduction is calculated as (DR after UA) / (DR before UA) - 1

EDIT: Math added

Kommentar von djxakep

bonus damage reduction is calculated as (DR after UA) / (DR before UA) - 1

Not true.
bonus damage reduction is calculated as 1 - (1 - (DR after UA)) / (1 - (DR before UA))

If use ur armor values 27600 without and 40020 with UA then this is 22% damage reduction.

Kommentar von frmorrison

As of Patch 3.3.3, this ability will be a lot more useful (currently some dps skip this talent, however in 3.3.3 that would be a bad idea).
Unbreakable Armor: The amount of strength granted is now 20%, up from 10%.

Kommentar von bluephantom

Did you mean this instead?

Hits for around 10,000 is where the old/new lines intersect, hits for ~~more~~ less is where the older version was better and ~~above~~ more is where the new version is better.

Kommentar von stevebat

I sort of miss the old flat damage reduction. It made a nice substitute for shield block, and the damage reduction before was nothing to sneeze at especially in frost presence but such is life.

Kommentar von ryknow69

True, skipping the talent now is quite retarded for all Frost DPS class due to the increase of str from 10% to 20%, and if you're a 2h Frost DPS, that allows you to get Bladed Armor for even more DPS Gain.

This does lovely stack with Endless Winter and Ravenous Undead

Kommentar von droodalt

I'm a druid tank not a DK. I was curious how effective this talent is after taking armor cap into consideration as I'm already pushing the soft cap in full 264s. By soft cap I mean that if all of my procs are up at the same time, then I'm getting close to going over armor cap. The hard cap is reported at 49905, so with this cooldown available, you'd be soft capped at 39924 (normal) or 38389 (glyphed). I'm curious how viable it is for a well geared DK to approach this, assuming anyone actually specs into and uses this talent. Taking into account raid buffs, trinket/ICC ring proc, elixir of protection and indestructible potion can easily add up to another 15k armor, though not everyone would be inclined to use all of these.

Kommentar von defektunge

Even better, wait for one rune set and lose nothing. Use your first two blood runes on 2x Blood Strike to get two death runes. Use those two on an Obliterate, then immediately use Blood Tap to refresh one into a death rune, spend that on Unbreakable Armor, and it'll come back as a blood rune at the same time as the other blood rune (or at most one GCD later, which doesn't matter since you'll need two GCDs to spend the two blood runes on Blood Strikes anyway).

Doesn't interfere with your rotation, and the cooldowns on Blood Tap and Unbreakable Armor match up perfectly.

Kommentar von defektunge

/cast Blood Tap
/cast Unbreakable Armor
/cancelaura Blood Tap

Why would you ever want to use cancelaura on Blood Tap? If a frost rune comes off cooldown just as you click the macro, it will be used to cast Unbreakable Armor instead of the death rune. You can then use the death rune to cast whatever you would have used that frost rune to cast (Obliterate, Icy Touch, Howling Blast). If you have a silly /cancelaura in the macro you're going to mess up your rotation without achieving anything.

All you need is:

#showtooltip
/cast Blood Tap
/cast Unbreakable Armor

Click once for Blood Tap. Mash for UbA. Ideally you'll want a separate hotkey for just UbA for fights where your rotation gets messed up anyway (from phase transitions, etc), and you want to use BT and UbA separately.

Kommentar von defektunge

Just time it when your armor procs are on ICD and it's not an issue, or use this when you want maximum mitigation right now without having to worry about procs. Keep in mind that it also increases your strength, which adds 4-500 parry rating (depending on gear) on top of the added threat.

Kommentar von Arachna

Because it'll completely mess up your next set of death runes by falling off right before they become active. Just don't mess it up and use a frost rune instead, the timing isn't that tight if you're doing your rotation properly.

Kommentar von Keelerak

In cata, UA is going to change to Pillar of frost, beacause frost DKs will no longer tank, only blood will. This is probably becaus eof mastery system.

I thik this "new" spell is good, no more Skillstorm one-shotting!

Kommentar von IronFist567

I'm a main spec blood tank and off spec frost dw dk. I had my dps spec from before the patch came out so i didn't have UA or Endless Winter. So now i gotta respec to get both of those awesome talents. My problem with UA was finding a spot to use it. i think the best possible place is after your opener by using blood tap. Since both UA and blood tap have a 1 min cd, they match up pretty nicely and you dont have to worry about using up an "actual" rune to pop UA.

This is quite a nice spell for dps as well as tanks. If you have your t10 4pc bonus its even better. The way i use it is, IT-PS-BS-BS-OB-(BT+UA)-ERW-OBx3-RPdump. This puts out a massive amount of burst dps especially if you have the t10 4pc bonus because after the first OB all your runes are on cd and will give u a 3% bonus to dmg for ur OB spam and ur FS spam. I unfortunately don't have the set bonus for my dps cuz im main spec tanking. i do have the set bonus for my tank set which is quite awesome.

Kommentar von LoreKeeperMobius

now death knights can have their own frozen throne!

Kommentar von Axelon9

for a frost DK to trade a frost rune for this seems way too steep a cost in pvp, although you can be pretty sure to expect a knockback when you run up to an ele shammy, thats 1/30 of your opponents, and this really feels like it should be buffed or cost runic power instead of a rune
as for pve will probably be used whenever its off cd lol

Kommentar von Tolki

Excellent for counter-cheesing Shaman and Druids at the Lumber mill in AB and the flag in EotS. I do the same thing on my Warlock by putting my portal on the edge and waiting for them to think I'm an easy splatter target. I swear, I can see the soul-crushing disappointment in their eyes when I show up back on the ledge.

Kommentar von Wowaconia

Introduced in patch 4.0.0 and great for soloing vanilla raid content before it gets erased (such as the soon to be gone ZG). For some reason raid mobs and bosses in vanilla raids love to pick you up and toss you around like a beach ball, with the mobs in AQ40 throwing you high enough to cause massive falling damage. Can counter such things as Knock Away from Broodlord Lashlayer
and Vem; Knock Away from Gurubashi Berserker and Qiraji Champion; Berserker Charge from Gurubashi Champion and Spitting Scarab; Sweep from Ouro; Surge from Lava Surger; the charge from Hive'Zara Stinger and Vekniss Stinger; Uppercut from Anubisath Warrior, Bloodaxe Warmonger, Qiraji Gladiator, and a host of others.

Presumably would also be good if you find yourself facing a dragon’s Tail Sweep.

Excellent for farming Righteous Orbs for BoA enchants to counter Crimson Guardsman's Shield Charge.

Kommentar von Astur

Man, anyone else feel that this ability is really...lame looking? I mean, I saw "Pillar of Frost" and was like "oh man, this is going to be sweet, a big ice pillar will shoot out of the ground and encase me in ice."

*uses ability*

"Oh...farting out a blue cloud...that's cool...I guess."

Kommentar von loik

I hope Blizz will make the looking of this spell more... real?
Seriously, a blue aura is pure ^&*!, they can easily make it better, but it has some good advantages. If a shammy sees 50 giant icy cristals hanging upon the DK, obviusly he'll not use Thunderstorm -.-!

And:

This will not be a problem with the new passive spell Rune Empowerment and Blood of the North. And it also increases your strength by 20%.

Kommentar von Prasiatko

Fire mages say hi (blast wave)
And suddenly, 1/30 changes to : 11/50 hunters (assuming that each BM hunt has 25 pets) + all locks, 1/3 mages, 1/3 boomkins and 1/3 shammies = about 1/5

kinda different, if you ask me

Kommentar von Metatron3X

Note that this ability only negates PUSH effects, not PULL effects. I've tried it when Telestra used her Gravity Well abililty and she still tossed me around like a hacky sack. I haven't seen how it fares against another DK's Death Grip, but I'm guessing it's gonna be the same case.

Still, this is an AWESOME ability to use in areas like Vortex Pinnacle where every mob, boss, and their grandma has some sort of push back ability. Use it against Heroic Altairus and you can just run through his killer tornadoes while trying to position yourself upwind.

I absolutely love this ability. Use it every chance you get!

Kommentar von Vereesa

I can confirm that this ability will protect against Death Grip, but NOT Leap of Faith. I have, however not yet tested a glyphed PoF against Leap of Faith.

Kommentar von Swordy

This is a flat 20% to whatever your strength is without short-term temporary weapon or trinket buffs, meaning it is not affected by Plate Specialization or other +%strength bonuses.

I can't believe this wasn't posted yet.

Kommentar von highwind123

This is not true

I used it right after activating my "Impatience of Youth" trinket (1605 str on use for 20 seconds) and got +20% on my total strenght, including the part which I got from the trinket.

It is best used in conjuction with procs/use effect from trinkets and fallen crusader (which normally happens after about some second after the start of a fight). This is also the time to summon your ghul because it takes a "snapshot" of your stats and fights with those for his full duration.

Kommentar von zethcarn

I'm pretty sure this doesn't activate the global cooldown. A good macro for this spell is:

#showtooltip Pillar of Frost
/cast Blood Tap
/cast Pillar of Frost
/cast Raise Dead

Kommentar von zethcarn

Since this spell does not activate the global cooldown a good macro for this is:

#showtooltip Pillar of Frost
/cast Blood Tap
/cast Pillar of Frost
/cast Raise Dead

The purpose of this is so you don't waste a frost rune while casting it. As mentioned above your ghoul will benefit from your extra strength and do maximum dps. Just make sure Raise Dead is last because it does activate the GCD.

Kommentar von Trishi

Which is lame. This tooltip is written more poorly than most tooltips it seems.

Icy crystals hang heavy upon the Death Knight's body, providing immunity against external movement such as knockbacks. Lasts 20 sec.

External movement includes push AND pull. You can't justify their wording by pointing out the last part of the tooltip, because that sounds very much like a mere clarification, in case you didn't know what they meant by external movement. Proved by the fact that it says "Such as", making it obvious it should affect several other factors. Gravity Well shouldn't affect you while this is active. If it doesn't work on all effects, it should state so, like Dark Stimulacrum does. And unless some odd bug happened to me, the abominations with chain-pulls can pull you while non-glyphed Pillar of Frost is active as well.

Blizzard needs to hire better writers.

Kommentar von Shortzo

Not mentioned in the comments or tooltip is that this ability roots you for the duration. So not just external movement, but internal as well.

Is this ability worth using every time it's ready? I.e is the 20% strength bonus worth the loss of one Frost Rune?

Kommentar von Julow

PoF macro.

I have a question... are you still frozen in place if you get freedom from a paladin?

Kommentar von Angelhearth

It's a great spell since it isn't on GCD. I macro it into all my spells together with blood tap and I use it in the macro to raise dead so at the beginning of the fight my minion has it as well.

20% of 20,000 is 4,000 strength!

You should macro all instant spels not on GCD into your spells. You see if it's on GCD by the other spells on GCD beeing unavailable for a sec or so. Flasks and potions, trinkets and many other things are instant and NOT on GDC, so they should be macroed. At least if you want to do a good job in raids.

This is a macro I use when the boss is below 35%. It costs a few gold, but as a reasonably geared lvl 90 you can easily do 2,000+ gold in a couple of hours. No I'm not telling my favorit hunting grounds. ;)

it's very straight forward to combine this ability with every Sindragosas Hauch or every other Entweihen, but because of the way that DoTs update dynamically in WoD (rather than snapshot) if you choose to pair this ability with you have to take into consideration that will do more damage in its last 20 seconds than it's first 20 seconds...

So rather than casting Säule des Frosts right as you apply for the first stack and/or macroing it into Ausbruch, you'd rather want to stack as cheaply as possible (including using Ausbruch, and/or Unheilige Verseuchung or the effect of ) in the first 10 seconds of its duration then activate Säule des Frosts for the last 20 seconds of its duration when it will deal the most damage.

Pillar of Frost is the only player ability that is a direct counter to the knockback external crowd control of Ring of Peace.

Kommentar von Luceender

Knockback Immunity removed 8.0😡

Kommentar von Skullhawk13

Most of the comments on this page refer to the old version that rendered you immune to outside movement effects, primarily knockback. The current version is simply a dps cooldown

Kommentar von heartlessnobody

The power of frost increases your Strength by 15% for 15 sec.

Each Rune spent while active increases your Strength by an additional 1%.
