PvE Blood Death Knight Addons & Macros

Here you can find a list of addons and macros to help Blood Death Knights in dungeon and raid environments.

Addons

• MinimapButtonButton – Addon that piles up all addon icons, preventing them from clogging your Minimap. Must-have addon if you plan on acquiring a large number of addons.
• DeadlyBossMods – Allows you to track boss abilities. It’s a must-have for raiding.
• Details – Shows you how much damage, healing, etc, everyone in your raid is doing. Flex on your friends!
• WeakAuras – Extremely versatile addon that can track buffs and debuffs, modify the User Interface, or even create audio notifications.
• Leatrix Plus – Multi-purpose addon that is extremely helpful, especially for streamers, for changing in-game mechanics such as auto-accepting quests, summons, and resurrection spells, blocking Party/Duel requests, modifying Chat, Frames, System, and Interface functionality.
• Leatrix Maps – Enhances map functionality by adding coordinates, increasing zoom level, and many more!
• Auctionator – A great tool for any interaction with the Auction House
• OmniCC – Displays a timer on the Action Bar for the remaining time until a Cooldown is available
• GTFO – Addon that provides audio notifications whenever you are standing in dangerous effects. Great for raiding!
• Questie – Addon that tracks and showcases Quests & Quest Objectives on the map. Extremely helpful for leveling or the Loremaster Achievement!
• Rarescanner – Addon that tracks and showcases rare mobs when in proximity to them. It is very helpful for acquiring early loot or completing achievements!
• Bagnon – An Addon that completely revamps the Bag Interface and combines all bags into one big window. It’s a fantastic addon overall!
• Plater Nameplates – This addon, similar to Weakauras, allows you to customize all nameplates in the game entirely. It is great for players who struggle to track debuffs on targets or simply want to overhaul the default interface.

Macros

Blood Death Knights only use a handful of macros to improve their overall performance. Generally speaking, Blood Death Knights have multiple abilities that can be triggered at once, resulting in potent defensive macros. Since all their attack abilities share GCDs you can’t use two attack abilities simultaneously. However some abilities, such as Icebound Fortitude, Vampiric Blood, Anti-Magic Shell, Death Pact, and even Blood Tap, are not impacted by GCD, meaning they can be used together.

Mouseover Macro

This macro can cast an ability on any target by simply hovering your mouse over it. You can either hover your mouse over the target itself or the UI raid or party frame in the case of a friendly target. For any beneficial spell, you will want “Help” in your macro; for any damaging spell, you will want “Harm”.

Startattack Macro

It is optimal to have the /startattack command on all of your abilities as a melee character. Doing so allows your character to begin auto-attacking your target immediately, even if you aren’t currently in range to attack them, that ability is on cooldown, etc.

Defensive Macro

Those macros can activate multiple defensive cooldowns with the simple press of one button. Consider them your “panic buttons.”

Blood Tap Macro

This macro allows you to use multiple Blood Tap charges at once! It can consume up to 10 Blood Tap stacks at once with a single button.
