Death knights are easily one of the most fun classes to play because you embody an evil unholy warrior of death who can summon the dead, spread pestilence and disease, cast debilitating spells, and also be a plate-wearing juggernaut who can cleave down multiple enemies at melee range.
Death knights are a powerful new type of class - a HERO class, starting at level 55 and possessing the ability to deal not only physical damage but also shadow and frost. Not only that, but they also have self-enhancing spells like horn of winter, anti-magic shield, and many more that make them a terror to spellcasters and plate-wearing classes alike.
Not only is the class fun to play, but they are DEATHLY powerful in both PvE and PvP. With the ability to be a top-tier tank as Blood specialization, as well as a top tier in terms of damage for both Unholy and Frost specializations, you can play any way you’d like as a Death Knight.
Not only do Death Knights bring damage to a raid but they have powerful Raid-Wide Buffs such as Ebon Plague, which grants 13% increased magic damage taken on targets, AND Improved Icy Talons which grants 20% increased melee haste and your own haste by 5%.
Top it all off with the ability to equip the new LEGENDARY in Wrath of the Lich King Called Shadowmourne and there are plenty of reasons to play a death knight in wrath of the lich king.
Now that you’re convinced Death Knights are a great choice for Wrath of the Lich King, let’s talk about what is the BEST RACE for Death Knights in Wrath of the Lich King.
Best Race for Death Knight in WotLK
This question is frequently asked because any race can be a death knight in wrath of the lich king. So, you can feel as though you have chains of ice paralyzing you from making a choice. Fret not, I will cast Hand of Freedom on you and tell you which is the best for both HORDE and ALLIANCE, starting with HORDE.
For Horde from a PvE DPS standpoint - ORC is the best.
5 Expertise with axes (Which shadowmourne is)
Blood Fury doesn’t give you a healing debuff anymore, and grants attack power and spell damage.
And COMMAND gives your pets 5% increased damage, which means your ghoul, army of the dead, AND gargoyle, which is very powerful.
If you’re thinking about PvP - Your BEST bet is Blood Elf for the AOE silence/interrupt. It’s a close race depending if you want the nerfed version of will of the forsaken which only REMOVES fear sleep charm but doesn’t grant 5 seconds of immunity. Or if you want the Troll Berserking which was buffed, along with Da Voodoo Shuffle which reduces movement slows duration by 15%. Overall though, I think Blood Elf wins for PvP where an interrupt can win you the dual/arena/BG.
When it comes to ALLIANCE - for Pure PvE DPS - Dreanei is the best
The 1% spell and melee hit for you and your party will be sought after and useful. Human sword and mace specialization has been nerfed in wotlk and shadowmourne is an axe anyways. No other race has any damage boosting racials.

I would like to add to the list that as Death Knight you start with First Aid. Its a real game changer to start with First aid for your level.

First Aid is usually a staple for all leveling toons, but I would honestly not worry about it as a DK as you have Death Strikes to keep yourself topped off. Save those frostweave cloths for tailoring and get you swordguard embroidery on your cloak.

@esuvii 2 жыл бұрын

A lot of focus on Shadowmourne here, but it's important to note that Unholy DK has a very mixed damage profile, that is less focused on melee weapon scaling than Fury or Ret. Shadowmourne comes right at the end of the expansion, and unless you have a raid that loves you there is a good chance you will not get priority on the first or even second Shadowmourne. Unholy DK looks like it's going to be a super fun class for Classic WotLK, but I think it is a mistake for anyone to pick it based on Shadowmourne. Otherwise awesome video!

@Toyhouze 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, good points. Thank you

@btecbentley829 2 жыл бұрын

In Tier 10 gear and ICC fights, a lot of your damage as Unholy is from melee hits because of Blood-Caked Blade procs from high haste. It is then followed by Scourge Strike and Death Coil. So, I would say Unholy DK gets more benefits from Shadowmourne than Ret Pala. Although it is not a game changing difference between the two classes, your guild should give it to the guy that performs the best imo.

@esuvii 2 жыл бұрын

@@btecbentley829 100% agree, a legendary that comes from the final Tier should probably go to a longstanding raid member who consistently puts the most effort in - vs giving it out based on where it is "best" (unless you are going for #1 speed times or something)

@btecbentley829 2 жыл бұрын

@@esuvii It's DK prio, it's Frostmourne's sister weapon ;) :P. I completely agree man, I think guilds are going to want to give it to people who they know will not leave as soon as they get it, that's why in Classic officers would get legendaries almost as a reward even though I disagree with this, but yeah Shadowmourne is a sweet axe and any melee will be happy getting it. I'm going to be rolling and maining an Unholy DK, was contemplating going Frost, but with the Gargoyle and 2H looking so damn cool I think my mind is set, we'll see :D

@Slade1135 2 жыл бұрын

Shadowmourne was also less effective on Unholy for a good portion of the time because of all the +shadow damage modifiers that actually got applied to Bryntroll's on-hit effect since it was treated as a shadow damage attack originating from you (with a ludicrously low cooldown). it was more impactful for two-handed Blood or Frost.

not sure that is right for tank, think there are some blood dk builds where you can get both abom might and imp ice talons (which might mean freeing getting a raid buff from a tank rather than a shaman(freeing air totem for other use) or frost dk). As well as litchborne, and other mitigation talents in frost. As for tanking racials: dwarf, nelf, and troll might be worth a mention.

Especially for your Garg to snapshot the 480 haste buff during the 4 sec uptime and 45 Iternal CD its going to be a big big dps increases not to mention that you yourself + your ghoul benefit of Haste so much already . on addition to that it enables you to gem strictly Strength + Nightmare tear gem if you are already hit capped , with the meta gem you are recommending you would be forced to use 2 blue gems or 1 nightmare tear + 1 blue gem which results in less Strength overall and weird gemming gear pieces wise.

The build plays quite differently and focuses more on disease and auto attacks, dropping Scourge Strike, which is very weak until endgame. Glyph of the Ghoul and DnD are pretty much staples until ICC gearing.

A lot of the comments here touch on things for debate but one thing that’s spoken about a lot in this video is Shadowmourne. The majority of Horde players will probably want to go Troll for PVE because up until getting Shadowmourne unless you go DW will be 2H Swords and Maces. Shadowmourne takes a long time to get and you also gotta take into account how long it’ll take before ICC even comes out. Troll berserking especially now that it’s buffed will be the better bet for the majority of death knights on Horde. For Wrath to be a real success they’ll have to gate content just as long as they did for the t6 wait in TBC. Otherwise the whole expansion will be cleared within a year since alot of the content is miles easier than TBC besides Hardmode Ulduar. The best bet would be increasing health pools and damage/shortened enrage timers for the challenge staying relevant even for farming content and letting people take breaks when they want to. Blizzlike wrath numbers are far too easy and if they don’t have a different approach to what they did with TBC and Vanilla classic people will just fully quit instead of taking breaks and coming back when they want. So if blizzard implements buffed raid content and 5 man content, you’ll keep the diehard casual wrath fans engaged while the try hards can come back whenever they want after progressing without sacrificing difficulty.

The misplaced point in frost is Lichborne. Few people will ever need lichborne as a DPS frost DK for most of the content. The build presented generally is a great later game build for IIC once your stats are high enough to warrant going sub Unholy. But in the beginning tiers of content, frost DW DKs will likely be sub-blood spec, as the crit, runic power gen, and bladed armor will be very very strong.

@bradbarian7759 2 жыл бұрын

Like less than 1%. Pick whatever race you want

22:15 that part is up to debate but on simply single target you would always gem and find gear pieces with Haster over Crit the reason is your Garg, your Auto attacks + talents points and Ghoul all benefit of Haste , even your Death coil's gcd benefits of it , crit is also a good stat but besides that rng factor haste on a longer fight will net you with a dps gain especially on Single Target

is the blood dk best lvl-ling tree overall?

@Toyhouze 2 жыл бұрын

Since we're getting patch 3.3.5, if you are planning to farm dungeons as a tank, blood is perfect for that. Otherwise, I would go Unholy for leveling. You can still tank as unholy while leveling too - just turn on frost presence.

When do we use howling blast?

@Texinga 2 жыл бұрын

It's a priority list moreso than rotation: 1) Pestilience+Blood Strike (to refresh diseases) 2) Obliterate 3) Killing Machine (Frost Strike) 4) Frost Strike above 70 RP 5) Rime (Howling Blast) Following this, you do settle into a rotation eventually: 1) Pestilience+Blood Strike, 2x Obliterate 2) 3xObliterate But you still have to weave KM, FS, and Rime in where you can. You never want to use KM on Howling Blast unless there's multiple targets. Toy is incorrect that you always want to hold a Blood Rune, you want to use both Blood Runes together to create Death Runes and get a 3x Obliterate the next time runes are up. Runes refresh every 10s and diseases last 21s, so you only have a 1 sec window to refresh every cycle, but this is very manageable and around a 10% dps increase when done properly. If they fall off, IT/PS replace the Obliterate that you just gained from Death Rune activation. So even if you IT/PS every rotation, the rotation is still better than holding onto a Blood Rune.

What about rune tap? Skipped over that in the blood section.

@Toyhouze 2 жыл бұрын

You could get that talent. I've heard from blood tanks it's really only like getting 1 extra heal from a healer and not worth the 1 frost rune, but you might find it useful in some situations.

@@Toyhouze oh really? That’s a little sad to hear. Between it being fully improved plus the glyph it looks like the best thing since sliced bread. Mained a DK from Wrath to Legion (gave up on retail during BFA, classic came out and poof). My memory is a bit fuzzy. I want to try unholy tanking again. Even if it’s just for heroics/naxx. Found you recently and I’m going to subscribe. I need more info on the game I remember enjoying. I’m not 9 anymore. I want to be amazing.

That blood tanking spec is... Rough to say the least. If anyone is looking towards blood tanking in wrath please looks towards rugz's videos.

@FarkasfaROCK 2 жыл бұрын

I would recomand taking glyph of ghoul instead disease it boost your ghoul dmg and puting up dots manualy will make your wondering plague proc most often due his hidden 1 sec cd, if u refresh your dots with pestilence it gona make your dots tic in same time so your wondering plague cant proc on both of your dots. On single target like this u gona pull much more dmg. Ppl mostly argue with that saying but u win a gcd and a scourge strike with disease glyph, well not rly, u gona have a gap after ur rotation with that method also a icy touch plague strike blood strike will do as much or even more dmg then your scourge strike pestilence, nice guide btw cheers

You might wanna revise the tank tree, I've tanked 2 years as Pala / DK on Wrath and I played both Frost tank for early dungeon farming, Hybrid blood with imp icy talons and I played a little bit of blood dps for the memes. For tanking I definitly recommend the Improved Icy Talons build

Usually other DKs will bring Improved Icy Talons to the raid, but if no one else has it, definitely.

1:01:30 this would be true if you would be bis gear and not spec into the blood tree as your sub spec early of the expansion, but if you do and I hope for the most of the people reading this will do you would instead opt to the Indestructible Potion that grant you 3500 armor for 2 min it works really well with the Talent Tree : Bladed Armor in the blood tree wich you should definitely pick up since it gives you alot of attackpower which again benefts all your hard hitting spells like Obliterate and Frostrike which a Potion of Speed doesnt do for example. Also Umbreakable Armor grants you more Strength since it also increases your Armor by 25% or 20% depending which patch or spell we get when classic wotlk hits.
