Death Knight Leveling Guide

By Jurinsthea Smith


Initially, when you create your Death Knight, you will find that you have no talent points until now. This is not nice about a level 55 character, but you need not to give up hopes, since there are the quests in and around the Ebon Hold with which you can gain the talent points. The only thing is how exactly should you employ these to level up faster your Death Knight?

Well, that's what this guide is about. I will explain which talent build is nice and for what reason.

I would like to state in the beginning that the Death Knight is such a great class that bears the nice capabilities like a pet, heavy normal attacks, great damaging spells, and plate armor. Needless to say, Frost, Unholy, and Blood are the talent trees.

What you are looking for while leveling is a build that allows you to continue fighting and speed you up in any other way possible. That's the reason why I say that a Blood/Unholy build would be the best for leveling. Assuming that you will level solo, I have made the following build and you will see that this build is great for solo leveling:

Initially, we will take into account the Blood talents. Butchery is too great for leveling to decide on a specific build so that you can level fast. In order to improve your damage, you have had now the nice talents like Rune Tap and the Improved Rune Tap talent. These talents will help you in going and restoring your HP as well. This does not stop here as you have Mark of Blood, Blood Aura, Vendetta, Blood Worms, and Vampiric Blood just to keep your hit points up. You will surely not die of leveling when you have all these points at hand.

There are great damaging abilities like Hearth Strike, Hysteria, Dancing Rune Weapon, Blood Gorged, and Might of Mograine.

The reason you should focus on Unholy a bit as well is that you will become a bit more effective when it comes to AoE damage with Morbidity and Corpse Explosion. Then you have a 5% Dodge chance through Anticipation and some extra stats from Shadow of Death. The reduced cooldown on Death Grip is also very handy. Last but definitely not least is On a Pale Horse. This talent is great for leveling and will reduce your traveling time. A side effect of this nice leveling talent is that your stun and fear effects will be reduced by 20%.

Altogether you can say that this build will keep you going because of all the health gaining abilities the Blood tree has to offer. The Blood tree also has a few nice damaging abilities while the Unholy tree adds a bit of AoE damage and reduces your traveling time. Nice thing about this talent tree is that you are also capable to deal with opponents in PvP situations, which is especially nice on PvP realms.
