Comentario de barak0

you know you can have more than 2 frost or unholy runes, right?

Comentario de Kasonic

Is this on the GCD? If not, it's pretty cool, if so, relatively useless.

Comentario de Janettie

Keep in mind it not only converts a blood rune into a death rune, but it also activates one.

Comentario de silkfire

A very useless spell if you're specced Unholy. Blood Strike or Blood Boil cost 1 Blood (which gives you a death rune with Reaping), so does this one, but also has a 1 min cooldown. What's the point of this?

Comentario de 248114

Unfortunately, if you have one blood rune on cooldown and one blood rune active when you use blood tap, it will allways use the blood rune that is already active, leaving the other one in cooldown...

So, for maximum effect, use this skill when both blood runes are on cooldown

Comentario de ShiroRX

Amazing skill for frost and unholy. Glyph that bitch up too.

Question:
If you make a macro that looks like:
/cast blood tap
/cast rune tap
like the one that flassk mentioned "oh crap heal me" button. This basically activates a rune and uses a blood rune.

If you have both blood runes on cd, does this macro still heal?
As far as I understand, macro executes both casts at the same time. If you have no blood runes at the time you execute the macro, does it still heal even if it simultaneously gives a rune to use?

Thanks.

~~Blood Tap also generates 10 Runic Power.~~

Blood Tap no longer generates 10 Runic Power.

Would this break damage-based CC's on you, like polymorph or the frost trap in the swamplord fight in UB?

This is one of those abilities that finds more use, and has more hidden functionality than you'd think at first glance. A few things I've noticed that the tooltip doesn't quite mention, or I think are worth taking note of:

Health cost is base (like virtually ever other ability), so it won't cost any more in Frost Presence. This is sort of moot, as the cost is rather small anyways.
It activates a (Blood, usually, read on) Rune. This is not part of the cost. This means you do not have to have a Blood Rune currently active in order to use this ability.
It grants 10 Runic Power, even though, technically it doesn't use a Rune (As it requires none, puts none on cooldown and is usable if all your Runes are on cooldown.)
It grants a buff, Blood Tap, for 20 seconds that means whichever Rune it picked is considered a Death Rune for that 20 seconds. Even if you use the Death Rune for an ability, it will refresh normally, and assuming there is still time on the Blood Tap buff, it can be used as a Death Rune again.
(If anything is unintended/bugged, this would most likely be it. Then again, we are Death Knights, so we get to have our cake and eat it too.)

The Rune activation is a bit wonky. It obeys "Convert a Blood Rune to a Death Rune and activate it.", for the most part. However, it doesn't choose the Blood Rune with the longest cooldown like we'd hope, nor does it simply choose the leftmost Blood Rune, either. Once Death Runes get added to the mix as a result of Reaping or some other talent/ability, everything gets mixed up. Here are my findings so far:

If you have 2 Blood Runes, both active or both inactive, it will convert one to a Death Rune and activate it.
If you have 1 Blood Rune active, and 1 inactive, it will convert the active rune to a Death Rune, and leave the other inactive.
If you have 2 Death Runes, and 1 or both are inactive, it will activate a Death Rune. (Least desirable, second only to using Blood Tap while you have two active Death Runes.)
If you have 1 Death Rune and 1 Blood Rune, and 1 or both are active, it will convert the Blood Rune to a Death Rune and activate whichever is inactive, leaving you with 2 Active Death Runes, regardless of whichever was inactive. (Most desirable, in my opinion.)
If you have 1 Death Rune and 1 Blood Rune, and both are inactive, it will activate one and convert the Blood Rune to a Death Rune. This will leave you with 1 usable Death Rune, and one inactive.

I'll leave you with two more things. First, I can't say, nor forecast on what functionality is intended. I'm aware that some Rune functionality is a bit wonky currently, so I expect a few of these points are subject to change as a result of functioning in an unintended manner. Second, I can't say for sure how this functions with Death Runes generated by Death Rune Mastery, though I imagine it functions by polling the Blood Rune slots, and Death Runes generated by Death Rune Mastery would have no effect. I'm not 100% sure of this, though. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong about anything, as I'm slightly sleep deprived at the moment.

Blood for the Blood God!

Here's a great macro I use for passive DPS boost:

#showtooltip (skill)
/cast (skill)
/cast !Rune Strike
/cast Blood Tap

since both these are off the GCD, this macro works VERY well. I have the minor glyph for blood tap, so no loss there. Blood Tap is included in every skill I have (besides DnD), Rune Strike is only included in my melee range skills.

Can someone help me with the rest of this macro? I got the idea to use UIerrorframe hide, clear and show in it, but I don't know the exact wording for them. I've been looking for a while, but haven't found it.

EDIT: also, if there are any other DK skills off the GCD that I don't know about, please tell me, I love these kind of massive utility macroes ;)

EDIT2: just realized, put an ! before rune strike, so that spamming buttons won't turn it off and on.

Comentario de Rightousway

With 4 pc T10 tank set, you get12% damage reduction from all sources for 10 seconds when you use this ability.

Edit: Yeah, No, this is completely wrong, downrank me some more.

Comentario de Astray

I think this is awesome for tank-dks because every specc has its own 1-rune-cost, 1-min-cd survival ability. As a tank, i dont like the idea that my 'oh sh#%'-buttons share the ressource (runes) with my thread abilties. This ability counters that weakness.

Here's the three combinations:
Blood Tap +

And here's a macro you can use for binding that:
#showtooltip (ability) or Blood Tap
/cast Blood Tap
/cast (ability)

How to use:
To use this, just click it, since Blood Tap is not bound to the global cooldown it will only need 1 click to activate.

Memo:
dont forget to 'translate' that macro into your language. /cast works in every language but you have to change the ability-names. Shift-Klick on an ability in your skillbook to copy the abilities' namestring into an open macro window.
