Title, is it possible to macro it so that if I have blood tap charges it uses them then casts death strike, or just casts death strike if I have no charges?
If so, could any one show what said macro would look like?

Well you can do that, but it's a terrible terrible idea, if you mean rune tap, which is the one with charges. You want to have it for the small burst windows of high damage, right before it hits, while you want to use deathstrike right AFTER it hits.
With that setup you ensure that one of the abilities is wasted.Everyone has so much to say

I'm guessing this topic was edited, because he's not talking about rune tap currently. Macroing Blood Tap to Death Strike doesn't seem like it would really have any major downside other than you no longer have to keep two keybinds. So if you like hitting extra buttons then you are out of luck with a super pro macro like this.

I haven't tested it since 6.0, but I suspect this macro could fail when Blood Tap cannot be used (due to not having 5 stacks of Blood Charge). I always put Blood Tap after the attack for that reason. Originally Posted by tkbaby13

/cast Blood Tap
/cast Frost Strike
^Works just fine even when you don't have enough charges, not sure why it wouldn't work with DS."I will say, I think it passing odd that I am loved by one for a kindness I never did, and reviled by so many for my finest act."

Ahh. It used to fail, once upon a time. I guess they fixed it at some point.

There is a pretty major downside to this. All of you're blood tap runes are belong to death strike. Blood tap should be used strategically. Originally Posted by tibben

Not necessarily, You would have to hit the bind 2 times to cast DS. First hit uses the charges then you can use em however. I find I use most of the charges on DS any way. But Im still pretty noob at dk. Originally Posted by tkbaby13

Rune Tap, primarily.
That's why you're best off macroing BT to Death Coil.
