Warcraft Death Knight Guide

I’ll talk about the Death Knight class in this WoW Death Knight Guide. In many way Death Knights, introduced in Wrath of the Lich King, are a hybrid of magic and melee classes.

Death Knight Overview:

Death Knights can do magic but are especially talented at melee, able to deliver destruction to their enemies. This with their anti magic abilites make them really good tanks in a group. I’ll talk about some of their pros and cons.

You’ll need to have leveled your character to at least 55 before you can unlock the Death Knight. However, it doesn’t matter whether you Alliance or Horde or what race you are, since Death Knight can be any faction or race. Here’re some good races for Alliance and Horde.

Alliance Faction:

Night Elves- Great for PvP
Gnomes
Dwarves- Stone forms are really good for Tanks

Horde Faction:

Tauren’s War Stomp- Great for both PvP and PvE

But as I mentioned you can choose any race.

Death Knight Guide the Upside and Downside

Upside:

Heavy Plate Armor- This makes them great for combat and melee.
Uncommon & Rare Gear- You get these right from the start.
Runic Power- Unique benefits compared to mana, rage, and energy.
Two Hand Weapons- Great for Tanking.
Anti Magic- Makes them formidable adversaries to magic users.
Can use Blood Magic for healing.

Downside:

As mentioned you’ll need a level 55 character before you can unlock this class.
Although their great tanks, they can’t tank with a shield.
Because of their abilities they can take some time to master

Runic Power:

Death Knights don’t use energy, mana or rage but instead use Runes and Runic Power. You start with 6 runes; once they get used up they’ll regenerate every 10 seconds

There are 3 Runes you can use. They’re the Blood, Unholy and Frost Runes.

Here’re the Rune costs for various abilities.

Death Strike: Uses 1 Unholy & 1 Frost Rune; this is an instant cast and doesn’t require a cool down.
Icy Touch: Uses 1 Frost Rune
Blood Boil: Uses 1 Blood Rune

You can use these abilities in combination with one another. This is the aspect that make Death Knights a challenge to master. Be carefull not to use up your runes or you won’t have any for 10 seconds. 10 seconds can be a life time in situations like in the middle of combat.
