Death Knight Frost Macros

Ready-to-paste macros for Frost Death Knight: the burst key derived from the current top parses, plus the macros this spec actually uses. Spell names follow the language you pick on this site, so they match your game client.

This page collects ready-to-paste Frost Death Knight macros, led by a burst key built from what top players actually press. We sampled the openers of three top WarcraftLogs parses and kept a cooldown only if it showed up in at least two of them. For a raid boss pull the key opens on Reaper's Mark and folds in Empower Rune Weapon, Pillar of Frost, Raise Dead and Breath of Sindragosa. The Mythic+ AoE version opens on Glacial Advance and keeps only Empower Rune Weapon and Pillar of Frost, while the Mythic+ single-target key is the leanest: Reaper's Mark plus Pillar of Frost. All three add trinket /use lines, so on-use trinkets fire with your cooldowns. Below the burst key are eight spec macros. The Deathbringer opener stacks /use 13 and /use 14 before Pillar of Frost, Raise Dead and Breath of Sindragosa, and a second version adds Frostwyrm's Fury. Mind Freeze comes in two flavours: focus only, or a focus, then mouseover, then target fallback chain. Anti-Magic Zone drops at your cursor, and Raise Ally checks your mouseover first. Copy a macro, pick your client language on this site so spell names match your spellbook, and paste it into the in-game macro window.

A macro can fire only one global-cooldown ability per press — that is the game's limit, not ours. So a burst key is exactly: on-use trinkets + the off-GCD cooldowns top players press in their opener + one opener spell. Nothing else fits.

Off-GCD cooldowns pressed within the first 8 casts by at least 2 of the 3 sampled players, defensives and movement removed. Ends with the first on-GCD opener so everything fires in one press.

Slot 13 / 14: the data cannot tell which slot the on-use trinket sits in, so both are listed; the passive one just prints cannot use.
