First you take two Death Knights/Mages with full mana and Death and Decay or Blizzard.
Take up position a bit back from a group of enemies.
With the first Death Knight, cast Death and Decay just in front of your Death Knights. Let the Death Knight
continue to cast until he is out of mana.
Immediately after the first Death Knight starts casting, command the second Death Knight to cast one cast of
Death and Decay on the enemy: hit D for Death and Decay, click on the enemy then Immediately hit Stop
so the Death Knight will only use one cast. Then use the remaining mana to cast another Death and Decay right in front of
the two Death Knights.
What will happen is the first Death Knight casts and gets a nice heavy rain of Death and Decay going. The second
Death Knight uses one Death and Decay cast to "wake up" the enemy. The charge the Death Knights and run into a fully
damaging Death and Decay area. Many if not all of the enemy units are killed.
This doesn't always happen so it's a good idea,
if possible, to have some troops nearby to clean up survivors. Some
Archers would help in this situation but most likely, you will
be using Paladins or Ogres.
You can do the same thing on water maps. Just pop out of a transport do a Double Blizzard
then get back in the Transport and run!
