How you play Frost Death Knight
Spend Runes on Obliterate, Runic Power on Frost Strike, and grab the free hits when they light up.
Your buttons, most important first
More enemies: 3 or more enemies: Frostscythe instead of Obliterate, and Glacial Advance instead of Frost Strike.
Biggest mistake: Howling Blast without Rime. Without the light it is too weak to be worth a Rune.
Hero talents
Deathbringer: Reaper's Mark right before Pillar of Frost. It gives extra Killing Machines to spend inside it.
Rider of the Apocalypse: no extra button. The horsemen come by themselves; just play the steps above.
