Death Knights, the first Hero class announced in the World of Warcraft, are awe-inspiring warriors well-equipped to fill “tank” and DPS (damage per second) roles. They are heavily armed and have in their possession, a munitions store of forbidden, deadly magic.
Death Knights do not make use of rage, energy or mana for combat resource systems. They, instead, rely on a new system: runes. Death Knights can use two of each type of rune available to them, that is, blood, unholy and frost. Runic power is generated by using runes in other attacks. Once a rune has been used, it plunges a nominally ten second “cool down” period, before it can be used again.
Though they cannot use shields, Death Knights can adorn plate armor and wield weapons with rune engravings. When endowed with specific talents, Death Knights also have the power to turn runes into Death Runes that can be used as any rune type. Another vital thing to note is that runic power decays over time when the Death Knight is out of combat.
The Death Knight can raise a ghoul companion from the ashes of fallen creatures that include both friends and foes. However, the ghoul a Death Knight summons is only temporary, lasting for a short amount of time. However, it is possible for Death Knights to make the ghoul permanent and attain full control over it through specialization.
Did you know how to unlock and create a Death Knight? By having a character of level 55 on the realm of your choice unlocks the ability to create a new level 55 Death Knight of any race on that particular realm.
While fighting Mages and Rogues is a piece of cake, the Death Knights find it tough to fight the Paladin. It is wiser to keep them at arm’s length and counter their Hammer of Justice with Icebound Fortitude.
If you have chosen to play a Death Knight in PvP, your most important consideration should be the talent tree. Irrespective of your personal gaming style, the talent lines, Frost, Blood and Unholy, can give an added edge to your combat. Blood talents allow high DPS physical attacks akin to that of a warrior and Unholy endows the ability to generate diseases while Frost help you along either of the other lines. So, the right mix of Frost and Unholy is considered the most potent Death Knight PvP build.
This PvP guide should get you started on the combat and assist you in dominating the play ground by fully utilizing the talents and capabilities of your chosen character: the deadly Death Knight.
