FAQ

Why should I use a burst macro as an Unholy Death Knight?

Burst macros allow you to activate several powerful offensive cooldowns and trinkets with a single keypress. This ensures optimal timing and maximum damage output during critical moments in combat.

Which trinket slot should I use in my macro?

The /use command can target specific equipment slots. '13' typically refers to your first trinket slot (top), and '14' refers to your second trinket slot (bottom). Check which slot your on-use trinket is in.

Can I add other abilities to these burst macros?

Yes, you can include other instant-cast offensive abilities or even pre-pull buffs like Raise Dead. Be mindful of the 255-character limit and ensure all abilities are off the global cooldown if you want them to activate simultaneously.
