That proc does a fraction of the damage output of the build. Remember, your main attack is cadence and you need WPS to do the heavy lifting here.

44

The skill has become a wps which is a buff imo, one button less to press (not interrupting your main hand damage/leech anymore) and especially for 2h builds which sometimes starve on good wps its a bonus despite the damage is less to compensate

45

it’s not a wps
got changed from manual activated, “player” granted skill, to passive proc/automatic activated like most item skills, but that’s far from the same as being a wps

Leviathan DK definitely doesn’t starve for WPS; and as Gnomish mentioned that granted proc isn’t a WPS.

‘on attack’ damage skill vs ‘activates off of default weapon attacks’

My bad - apologies for confusing.

Long time No see… like wringing water from a dry towel, to squeeze even a single percentage point more out of my Death Knight’s performance, which seemed impossible to improve further, I resolved to try a skill distribution I had never attempted before, Specifically, I reallocated some points from War Cry to Fighting Spirit. The performance boost was astonishing. Therefore, I named this version the ‘Squeeze-Out Version’.

There is just one thing i dont understand.Why do you use the scales devotion when you already have break morale all the time.

To resolve the overall energy shortage issue, to withstand the Ravager of Flesh’s energy drain attack, to take 5% life leech, and reduce enemies’ resist to some piercing/Aether/elemental damage from other constellations and other skills.

Hey, I noticed that in the last GT link the chaos res is not capped.
I wonder if it’s because the build is specifically optimized for fighting celestials and they don’t do much chaos damage, or because the build lives fine even without capped chaos res in most situations?

GrimTool does not display specifications accurately. I have added the Squeeze-out Edition Specification to the main text. While defeating Celestials is the primary goal for my builds, I always keep high-tier SR in mind as well.
