Getting Started with the WotLK Death Knight
Thursday, December 4th, 2008    Subscribe To Our FeedIn the World of Warcraft expansion pack Wrath of the Lich King, the WotLK Death Knights play a dual role; tanking and DPS. They are as good as any class at these tasks. Blizzard has imbued (that’s a real word, look it up) the class with new and creative abilities that most players are likely to enjoy.
The WotLK Death Knight charges in. He takes the first hit, soaks up the damage, and holds the foe in place while others beat on it. If you like doing ranged damage, or healing your teammates, the Death Knight is not for you.
PvP
You’re going to have to learn how to play PVP all over again with the Death Knight. You will be effective once you get the hang of it. Practice dueling and play the battlegrounds, and when you have the feel for it go ahead and join an arena team.
Raiding
Death Knights shine at raiding. They can tank as well as any class, and can put out high damage.
Builds
WotLK Death Knight talents are split into 3 categories, each of which are fully capable of supporting either a tanking or dps role:
Blood: This tree primarily amplifies the Death Knight’s melee spells, weapons, and abilities, and has a prominent health-regeneration theme.
Frost: This tree has many control elements, with a strong critical strike/bonus damage theme, as well as several talents that improve physical damage mitigation.
Unholy: This tree has a heavy focus on diseases and related abilities, as well as improving summoned minions. Also has AoE, spell damage shielding, and mobility-improvement sub-themes.
Suggested Professions
As a plate mail wearer, the WotLK Death Knight would do well to choose Blacksmithing as a profession, with Mining as a complement.
However, since you have to have a level 55 character to even unlock a WotLK Death Knight, you may not need a gathering profession for your Death Knight. If you have gold to burn on leveling your Death Knight’s profession, consider Blacksmithing and Enchanting to run around with effective gear while you level.
