Death Knight Leveling Guide


By Seth Symonds

While wandering around the World of Warcraft, you are likely to come across many would-be knights, but none more fearsome than the Death Knight. Death Knights begin the game at level 55, and are recommended for players that have already experience the content of the game up until that point.

Death knights come in two categories; the DPS and the can tank. DPS basically has two options to choose from in the talent section: Unholy and Blood. Blood offers a good option since its DPS is high, providing you with the advantage of getting your damage in health. This further lowers the down-time of the fight classes, thus making it difficult for healers to heal you frequently.

Unholy Death Knights don't have to heal very often because they usually have help with them in the form of zombies. This zombie can be cast on creatures once they are killed and are great companions to a Death Knight. If the talent specialization is done correctly, this zombie can be present nearly all of the time.

As a tank, Death Knights are the most deadly and difficult to take down in player versus player content. They are much different than all of the other tanks - particularly Warriors and Paladins. Much like the class of a Druid, Death Knights do not use shields. Instead, they prefer two handed weapons that they are able to instill unique buffs onto through the use of their runic power. They also have the ability to dual wield if they choose.

Death Knights feature an entirely new system of skill use that is completely separate from rage and mana bars. They use something unique called runic power, and this allows them to use the several forms of damage mitigation that is allowed to them.

While runes may seem foreign and confusing at first, it isn't difficult to grasp. The idea behind it is that you will need six runes, two of which will be a base type. The major runes are comprised of frost, blood, and unholy, and can be used in several different ways. When used correctly, frost and unholy runes can be used to bring out another form of runes referred to as death runes, which can count as both. This provides you with the opportunity to experiment with several different combinations.

This class will feel very unfamiliar compared to any other class in World of Warcraft, and that is the idea behind it. With the Wrath of the Lich King, Blizzard has created a character that is unlike any other, and it is recommended that you do some research before dedicating yourself to this class.

Be attentive to the levelling guide plus the quests as well, especially if you are a beginner. This will, in a much simpler way, teach you the basics of the game, and will further explain how to fully utilize the efficiency and pleasure that you achieve from playing death knight.
