How do death knight runes work

There were different runes in Cata so it made more sense in that regard. You can have up to three runes generating at a time. Runic corruption has a chance to double rune generation rate based on runic power spent. Runic Empowerment has a chance to instantly generate a rune based on runic power spent. One way to think of runes is as if they were energy, but you cant use the energy until it passes certain The only difference is that multiple thresholds can be recharging at the same time up to three.

Edit: Ah yes, I forgot. Post by skribs UB doesn't count as a disease for synergy with strikes and for applying crypt fever, but it does get bonus damage from crypt fever. Not sure if it can crit with Wandering Plague, though. UB also is not a drain you may or may not know that, but other people may or may not as well. The link I made under the APC section should have it, gargoyle has a 0. UB also has no cooldown and is an AoE, where gargoyle has a 3 minute cooldown. I've heard reports of people mainting gargoyle for a good duration and still hitting UB, not sure if that's feasible in most builds, however.

For a dual-wield, you would need , or with Nerves of Cold Steel - I'd reccomend with either a 2-hander or DW going for the spell-hit cap, though.

You have to divide the AP by 14 and then multiply that number by your weapon coefficient 3. Were we even talking about this talent? Post by skribs No. Not melee attacks, and not strikes. SS and FS still count as strikes not spells they just deal magic damage. Even if we weren't talking about this talent, it's relevent to my original post. Comment by I've found this useful for when quick burst DPS is needed as stated before, it's used similarly to cold snap and other CD-reducing abilities.

This allows you to reset your rotation and re-stack your diseases with no penalty to DPS while waiting for your runes to recharge. Basically a little insurance to fall back on if you screw up. As most of the times,i know when hero will be cast, try to keep runes ready then after hero is cast, i burn them and immediattely use ERW to get at least 4 and many times 5 runes back so the DPS goes way up. I have gotten 1st in dps ffrom 4th position many times by using thiis.

Great spell on a balanced cooldown. Comment by A very useful ability, allows you to improve dps in instances, or even prevent that pause between CD's in an intense PvP battle.
