'''Horn of Winter''' is a group [[buff]] that [[death Knight]]s can cast, increasing [[attack power]]. The ability also generates a small amount of [[runic power]] when used. The buff should be kept up at all times, as the [[attack power]] will increase your damage done significantly. As a [[tank]], the extra attack power will increase your damage (and therefore threat).

Notes

Tips and tactics

  • Horn of Winter should be used before every pull for the free runic power. It should also be used any time you have a spare global cooldown to generate some extra runic power and to make sure the buff does not fall off. This applies even if a warrior in the group is using Battle Shout, as the extra runic power is always useful.

Patch changes

  • Warlords of Draenor Patch 6.0.2 (2014-10-14): No longer generates Runic Power, has no cooldown, and lasts 1 hour.
  • Mists of Pandaria Patch 5.0.4 (2012-08-28): Now increases attack power by 10% instead of Strength and Agility.
  • Cataclysm Patch 4.2.0 (2011-06-28): Agility (and thus Horn of Winter) no longer increases a Death Knight's chance to dodge.
  • Wrath-Logo-Small Patch 3.2.0 (2009-08-04): Learning rank 2 of this ability caused players to unlearn rank 1, such that it no longer appears in their spellbook. It is now possible to relearn that rank, and death knights will no longer "forget" rank 1 when they learn rank 2.
  • Wrath-Logo-Small Patch 3.0.8 (2009-01-20): Now has no cost and grants 10 runic power in addition to its stat buff, but has a 20 second cooldown.
