| + | '''Smooth Sun Crystal''' is a [[gem]] crafted by a [[jewelcrafter]] from a [[Sun Crystal]]. |
||
| − | '''Icy Touch''' is a [[Death knight]] ability that deals moderate Frost damage and applies [[Frost Fever]], which slows the target's melee and ranged attack speed by 14%. When in [[Frost Presence]], it generates a very high amount of threat. The additional threat is based on the damage done by the ability, so any effect that increases the damage done by Icy Touch also increases the threat caused by the same amount. |
||
| ⚫ | |||
| − | Because of the low damage done by Icy Touch, its main use when dealing damage is to afflict the target with Frost Fever. When [[tank]]ing, however, the spell is very useful because of its high threat, and if you are having trouble holding aggro, use it as a crutch whenever it is up. |

| ⚫ | |||
| − | * '''''Only''''' spam Icy Touch for threat if you are having severe trouble holding aggro. Among other things, many fights are balanced around the tank(s) doing a modest amount of DPS as well, and because Icy Touch deals very low damage, it should ''not'' be used often if you can avoid it. In general, a '''good''' Death Knight tank will seldom need to use Icy Touch except to apply Frost Fever. |
||
| − | * Since Icy Touch generates a large amount of threat, it is very useful as an opening ability while tanking. Starting a fight with Icy Touch generally means that the target will stick to you for at least several seconds, allowing you to follow through with other abilities. |
||
| − | * When tanking two enemies at the same time, it can be very helpful to start the fight by using your frost runes to cast Icy Touch once on each of them. This will cause significantly more initial threat than you would if you used [[Pestilence]] or some other ability to apply Frost Fever instead, buying you enough time to build threat on both targets. Note that this only applies when fighting two enemies; fighting three or more will require different tactics, as you normally only have two frost runes available. |
