Commentaire de barak0

you know you can have more than 2 frost or unholy runes, right?

Commentaire de Kasonic

Is this on the GCD? If not, it's pretty cool, if so, relatively useless.

Commentaire de Janettie

Keep in mind it not only converts a blood rune into a death rune, but it also activates one.

Commentaire de silkfire

A very useless spell if you're specced Unholy. Blood Strike or Blood Boil cost 1 Blood (which gives you a death rune with Reaping), so does this one, but also has a 1 min cooldown. What's the point of this?

Commentaire de 248114

Unfortunately, if you have one blood rune on cooldown and one blood rune active when you use blood tap, it will allways use the blood rune that is already active, leaving the other one in cooldown...

So, for maximum effect, use this skill when both blood runes are on cooldown

Commentaire de ShiroRX

Amazing skill for frost and unholy. Glyph that bitch up too.

Question:
If you make a macro that looks like:
/cast blood tap
/cast rune tap
like the one that flassk mentioned "oh crap heal me" button. This basically activates a rune and uses a blood rune.

If you have both blood runes on cd, does this macro still heal?
As far as I understand, macro executes both casts at the same time. If you have no blood runes at the time you execute the macro, does it still heal even if it simultaneously gives a rune to use?

Thanks.

~~Blood Tap also generates 10 Runic Power.~~

Blood Tap no longer generates 10 Runic Power.

Would this break damage-based CC's on you, like polymorph or the frost trap in the swamplord fight in UB?

Commentaire de Saeljfkklhen

This is one of those abilities that finds more use, and has more hidden functionality than you'd think at first glance. A few things I've noticed that the tooltip doesn't quite mention, or I think are worth taking note of:

Health cost is base (like virtually ever other ability), so it won't cost any more in Frost Presence. This is sort of moot, as the cost is rather small anyways.
It activates a (Blood, usually, read on) Rune. This is not part of the cost. This means you do not have to have a Blood Rune currently active in order to use this ability.
It grants 10 Runic Power, even though, technically it doesn't use a Rune (As it requires none, puts none on cooldown and is usable if all your Runes are on cooldown.)
It grants a buff, Blood Tap, for 20 seconds that means whichever Rune it picked is considered a Death Rune for that 20 seconds. Even if you use the Death Rune for an ability, it will refresh normally, and assuming there is still time on the Blood Tap buff, it can be used as a Death Rune again.
(If anything is unintended/bugged, this would most likely be it. Then again, we are Death Knights, so we get to have our cake and eat it too.)

The Rune activation is a bit wonky. It obeys "Convert a Blood Rune to a Death Rune and activate it.", for the most part. However, it doesn't choose the Blood Rune with the longest cooldown like we'd hope, nor does it simply choose the leftmost Blood Rune, either. Once Death Runes get added to the mix as a result of Reaping or some other talent/ability, everything gets mixed up. Here are my findings so far:

If you have 2 Blood Runes, both active or both inactive, it will convert one to a Death Rune and activate it.
If you have 1 Blood Rune active, and 1 inactive, it will convert the active rune to a Death Rune, and leave the other inactive.
If you have 2 Death Runes, and 1 or both are inactive, it will activate a Death Rune. (Least desirable, second only to using Blood Tap while you have two active Death Runes.)
If you have 1 Death Rune and 1 Blood Rune, and 1 or both are active, it will convert the Blood Rune to a Death Rune and activate whichever is inactive, leaving you with 2 Active Death Runes, regardless of whichever was inactive. (Most desirable, in my opinion.)
If you have 1 Death Rune and 1 Blood Rune, and both are inactive, it will activate one and convert the Blood Rune to a Death Rune. This will leave you with 1 usable Death Rune, and one inactive.

I'll leave you with two more things. First, I can't say, nor forecast on what functionality is intended. I'm aware that some Rune functionality is a bit wonky currently, so I expect a few of these points are subject to change as a result of functioning in an unintended manner. Second, I can't say for sure how this functions with Death Runes generated by Death Rune Mastery, though I imagine it functions by polling the Blood Rune slots, and Death Runes generated by Death Rune Mastery would have no effect. I'm not 100% sure of this, though. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong about anything, as I'm slightly sleep deprived at the moment.

Here's a great macro I use for passive DPS boost:

#showtooltip (skill)
/cast (skill)
/cast !Rune Strike
/cast Blood Tap

since both these are off the GCD, this macro works VERY well. I have the minor glyph for blood tap, so no loss there. Blood Tap is included in every skill I have (besides DnD), Rune Strike is only included in my melee range skills.

Can someone help me with the rest of this macro? I got the idea to use UIerrorframe hide, clear and show in it, but I don't know the exact wording for them. I've been looking for a while, but haven't found it.

EDIT: also, if there are any other DK skills off the GCD that I don't know about, please tell me, I love these kind of massive utility macroes ;)

EDIT2: just realized, put an ! before rune strike, so that spamming buttons won't turn it off and on.

Commentaire de Rightousway

With 4 pc T10 tank set, you get12% damage reduction from all sources for 10 seconds when you use this ability.

Edit: Yeah, No, this is completely wrong, downrank me some more.

Commentaire de Astray

I think this is awesome for tank-dks because every specc has its own 1-rune-cost, 1-min-cd survival ability. As a tank, i dont like the idea that my 'oh sh#%'-buttons share the ressource (runes) with my thread abilties. This ability counters that weakness.

Here's the three combinations:
Blood Tap +

And here's a macro you can use for binding that:
#showtooltip (ability) or Blood Tap
/cast Blood Tap
/cast (ability)

How to use:
To use this, just click it, since Blood Tap is not bound to the global cooldown it will only need 1 click to activate.

Memo:
dont forget to 'translate' that macro into your language. /cast works in every language but you have to change the ability-names. Shift-Klick on an ability in your skillbook to copy the abilities' namestring into an open macro window.

Commentaire de Ensley03

This ability along with the glyph Glyphe du geist is arguably the best bonus anyone can get from a minor glyph.

Commentaire de mzygi

This is very useful in PvP for an instant Strangulate, you can safely use your blood runes on other abilities and still be able to silence opponents.

Commentaire de poompt

This ability's effect is hit and miss for me when both blood runes (death as frost) are inactive. Sometimes it will add one full rune, resulting in one full rune and the second one partially filled to the same amount that the first one was filled when I used blood tap; sometimes it will simply set the total number of active blood runes to 1 and leave the second rune empty. I've tried and tried but I can't find a pattern to when it will give me credit for the partially filled first blood rune, so I try to use it when both blood runes are nearly fully depleted.

Commentaire de 864839

Is this useable wile stunned (sapped) if yes will the damage break you out of sap

Commentaire de Rattja

Okey, so I changed my spec here the other day to get more blood taps.
After a while I started to notice something odd which I had not really thought about untill I started to use it more.
Sometimes I seemed to get two active death runes instead of just the one it converted.
After some testing I figured out how it worked, but it seemes like a bug and might get fixed soon.

Aaaanyhow this is how it works.
First of all it does not work as frost, as both your blood runes are already death runes I suppose, and only guessing it works for unholy.

If you have a active blood rune, and any inactive death runes, and you then use blood tap, it will convert your current blood rune to a death rune, and activate one of the death runes. Leaving you with 2 active death runes. (free DS)
It does not activate frost or unholy runes.
It happens every time, and only when you have at least one active blood rune with at least one inactive death rune.

Commentaire de Bogdanov89

As a Blood Tank i have this Glyphed and Talented to a 30 seconds cooldown, and i macroed it into Bone Shield, Rune Tap and similar cooldown spells that require a Rune to be cast.

This way i can be sure that i will be able to cast my cooldown, and i will have plenty of Death Runes for a short time afterwards.

Commentaire de Grabovsky

Anyone else notice the unglyphed tooltip isnt showing the health cost. I know all DKs use the glyph, but my dk's tooltip isnt showing the health cost.

Which is best in MoP, Drain sanglant, Renforcement runique, or Corruption runique? This post will give a simple break down of Blood Tap to let you see if it's the best choice for you.

Blood Tap requires 5 charges to use and each use of an applicable ability generates 2 charge. This will yield an average of 40% of a rune per Death Coil/Frost Strike/Rune Strike.

Blood Tap has the highest control over rune regen and always provides a death rune, but is the least efficient for regenerating runes.

Commentaire de rodalpho

Rune Regeneration Talents
Drain sanglant is worth 40% of a Death Rune.
Corruption runique is worth 40.5% of a rune, or really 13.5% of all three refreshing runes.
Renforcement runique is worth 45% of a fully depleted rune.

Comparison
Drain sanglant is just as efficient as Corruption runique but gives a Death Rune. It is slightly less efficient than Renforcement runique, but does not need to be gamed.

All three talents offer nearly identical performance, to very small tolerances. DPS specs can best use all three talents passively. Active use through gamed Renforcement runique or manual Drain sanglant is not rewarded with extra performance. These talents should only be actively used if you personally enjoy doing so.

Recommendations
Unholy spec should use macroed Drain sanglant. Unholy can't game Renforcement runique since it relies on Frappe purulente to extend disease durations and trigger Death runes via Moisson. Blood Tap also allows much higher uptime and smooths transition to and from AE by masking orphan Frost runes. Macroing is a <0.6% DPS loss for normal and Festerblight Unholy assuming perfect execution.

2H Frost spec should use macroed Drain sanglant. It can use Renforcement runique, but Blood Tap offers additional flexibility and identical performance. Any rune can be used to Anéantissement, so it does not need to game Renforcement runique and could use Corruption runique or Drain sanglant on single-targets. Frost can game Renforcement runique against Unholy runes in AE scenarios, and Renforcement runique is technically slightly more efficient than the alternatives, but in practice it is not worth doing.

DW Frost spec should use macroed Drain sanglant. Macroing is a <1% DPS loss, again with perfect execution.

Blood spec should use Drain sanglant. Ideally this should not macroed so you can pool runes for a clutch Frappe de mort, but macroing is not the wrong answer here either. Corruption runique is also a completely valid and popular choice trading off control for more consistent damage mitigation and consistently paired runes. Renforcement runique is also valid and offers the most Frappe de morts over time, but most tanks prefer the alternatives for control/flexibility or consistency.

Runic Corruption Duration
Corruption runique buff duration is calculated as follows.

* 0.3

This means it no longer double-dips on haste. The real duration shows up in the tooltip in your talent panel as well.

The Blood Tap Macro
Death Knights can macro Blood Tap into their spec's runic power ability. This is a tiny performance loss, but that assumes perfect execution so using the macro makes sense for most players. Replace Voile mortel with your spec's preferred ability.

#showtooltip
/startattack
/use Death Coil
/use Blood Tap

Although the MoP version of Blood Tap says it activates a, "random depleted rune" it actually has a set priority for each spec.

If you're Frost, it prefers depleted Unholy Runes.
If you're Unholy, it tries to avoid depleted Unholy Runes.
If you're Blood, it prefers depleted Blood Runes.

Blood Tap basically tries to fit each spec's rotation, by turning their least important rune type into a Death Rune.
