FAQ

Why use castsequence for Unholy DK AoE?

Castsequence macros simplify your rotation by casting abilities in a predetermined order with a single button press. This reduces the number of keybinds needed for your core AoE abilities, making combat flow smoother.

How do I ensure my diseases spread effectively with these macros?

Macros featuring Epidemic ensure that your diseases are spread to nearby targets efficiently. Always aim to have your Festering Wounds applied before using Epidemic for maximum effect, as it consumes wounds for additional damage.

Can I incorporate Covenant abilities into these AoE macros?

Yes, you can integrate Covenant abilities like Abomination Limb (Necrolord) or Shackle the Unworthy (Venthyr) into your castsequence macros. Consider their cooldowns and optimal usage within your AoE rotation.
