• #showtooltip Raise Ally
• /cast [@mouseover,help][@target]Raise Ally

This macro casts Raise Ally on your mouseover target, if they are afriendly player. Otherwise, it casts Raise Ally on your current target.

• #showtooltip Mind Freeze
• /cast [@focus,harm,nodead][] Mind Freeze

This macro allows you to interrupt your focus target, if you have one, andif not to simply interrupt your current target.

• #showtooltip Gorefiend's Grasp
• /cast [mod:shift,@focus,exists][@mouseover,exists,nodead][@player] Gorefiend's Grasp

If you have your cursor over a valid target to center Gorefiend's Grasp on, this macro will cast Gorefiend's Grasp at yourcursor. By holding shift, it will instead cast Gorefiend's Grasp on your focus target.Otherwise, it will center your Gorefiend's Grasp on yourself.

• #showtooltip Death and Decay
• /cleartarget
• /cast [mod:ctrl, @cursor] Death and Decay; [@player] Death and Decay
• /targetlasttarget

This will drop Death and Decay at your feet without using the groundtargeting reticle; while holding down CTRL, it will instead cast Death andDecay wherever your cursor is pointing (again, without using the groundtargeting reticle). Since the vast majority of bosses have a large enoughhitbox to be affected by a Death and Decay dropped at your feet; this speeds upcasting and maximizes your ability to shift around and still remain standing inDeath and Decay.

• /cancelaura Blessing of Protection

This macro is very useful to have. It allows you to cancel a Blessing of Protection that may have been cast on you. It isimportant because while you are under theeffect of Blessing of Protection, mobs will not attack you and instead will justattack the next person on the aggro list (often a DPS player), though tauntinga mob will still force it to attack you for 3 seconds.

• /target pet
• /run PetDismiss()
• /use Control Undead
• /petassist

Dragonflight Season 4 has some valuable Control Undead uses inThe Nokhud Offensive.

Here, at Icy Veins, we useElvUIfor all our characters. This addon is a complete replacement of the defaultUser Interface. It comes with almost everything you need to perform properly:action bars, cooldown timers, proc display, etc.

We strongly recommend that you get this addon and our forum moderator Pandacho has writtena quick configuration guide for it.

Boss mods are addons that warn you about boss abilities and give youlive advice on how to handle some mechanics. We strongly recommend you toget one such addon. At Icy Veins, we mostly useDeadly Boss Mods,the most popular boss mod. A good alternative isBig Wigs.

GTFO is a lightweightaddon that notifies you when you are standing in harmful effects or when youare making other such mistakes. It is very useful, even if your boss mod isalready alerting you of such things.

Parrot andMik's Scrolling Battle Text are highlycustomisable addons for displaying floating battle text while in combat (incomingheals, damage of your spells, etc.). They both work very well by default.

WeakAuras is anextremely useful addon that allows you to have visual effects on your screen,helping you track your buffs, debuffs and cooldowns. It is highly customisableand it can make it much, much easier to keep track of your procs and play yourspec more proficiently. It can also be used for a variety of otherfunctions.

Recount is awell known addon that most people use for displaying current DPS or HPS(Healing Per Second). This add-on is not really lightweight, and provides avery high amount of information (and it can sometimes cause issues withperformance). It is generally a good option to use Recount for checking what youtake damage from and if the share of damage/healing you do with each of yourabilities is similar to that of other players of your class.

An alternative to Recount (similar in function, so the choice is personalpreference) is Details!.

A lightweight alternative to Recount and Details! is Skada Damage Meter.

Method Raid Tools is a useful addon that allows you to track the cooldowns of other raidmembers, as well as providing you with a wealth of other useful raid information.

Clique allows you tobind specific spells to be cast as mouseover casts on unit frames. This can bevery useful for casting Raise Ally without changing your target.

Compact Runesis a great addon for tracking Rune cooldowns, and it also has a number of otherDeath Knight-specific modules to track your buffs, debuffs, and cooldowns.

Currently, we do not believe that you need any additional addons to play yourspecialisation to its full potential.
