The War Within Hero Talents Overview
Frost Death Knight in the War Within
The War Within draws near to release. Frost Death Knights got a chance to play with the new changes to the spec during Pre-Patch, so now it is time to look at what Hero Talents will do for the spec. In this article, we will take a look at Deathbringer and Rider of the Apocalypse to see how they compare against each other and pick the best overall Hero Talent Tree.
Hero Talent Showdown: Deathbringer vs. Rider of the Apocalypse
Frost Death Knights will pick from two Hero Talent Trees. Deathbringer, unleashing bursts of direct damage through stacking Reaper's Mark and sweeping scythes through foes with Exterminate. For those who want to take on the title of Deathlord, Rider of the Apocalypse is available to summon the Four Horsemen to swarm their foes.
Deathbringer
Weaknesses
Deathbringer adds a new cooldown to press as often as possible, Reaper's Mark. Each Reaper's Mark has a chance to chain itself through Exterminate. Your goal will be to stack the mark as high as possible, up to the 40-stack cap. However, this will happen naturally as you perform your rotation. It does not require any deliberate manipulation.
