Death Knight Unholy Macros

Ready-to-paste macros for Unholy 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 macros for Unholy Death Knight, led by a burst key built from real openers rather than theory. We sampled the openers of three top-ranked players and only kept an off-GCD cooldown if enough of them pressed it early. On raid bosses that leaves Dark Transformation and Army of the Dead, each seen in at least two of the three openers, with Outbreak as the first global. The Mythic+ AoE version keeps the same two cooldowns at a looser one-of-three threshold, while the single-target version trims down to Dark Transformation alone and opens with Epidemic. All three versions add trinket /use lines, so a single press also fires your on-use trinkets. Below the burst key sit eight spec macros. Mind Freeze comes in two forms: a plain focus version, and a fallback chain that tries focus, then mouseover, then your current target, so one button covers every interrupt situation. Death and Decay and Anti-Magic Zone land at your cursor without a second click, and Raise Ally works on mouseover for fast battle resurrections. Copy a macro into the in-game macro window and keep spell names in your client language; they must match your spellbook exactly or the line silently fails.

Burst key

Burst key — from the top parses above Macro commands → 
#showtooltip Outbreak
/use 13
/use 14
/cast Dark Transformation
/cast Army of the Dead
/cast Outbreak

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.
