The Death Knight class is one of the most popular classes in Wrath of the Lich King, so if you're looking to dive into these undead warriors you'll need a rundown of the best talents, abilities, and leveling options. 

So, if you're looking for a WOTLK Classic Death Knight guide, here's our rundown of all the tools to help you become a master in DK.

Specs Choice:

When you first step into the undead shoes of one of WotLK's Death Knights, you'll be given three different specs to choose from: Blood, Frost, or Unholy.

If you're new to the class and are looking to play in groups, we recommend taking Unholy, because of its reliance on buffs and debuffs. For solo play, Blood will always be the way to go, especially for tanking.

Frost, is the balance between the other two, so for those looking for an all-round good build, this is what we'd recommend. 

Leveling Methods:

The thing you'll need to bear in mind when it comes to leveling your Death Knight is that the process is rather slow. You'll want to ensure that you keep auto-attacking in the early stages because Death Knights can deal more heavy damage with autos.

You'll want to make use of Icy Touch and Plague Strike immediately, as these apply different diseases that do damage over time. Layer these with Pestilence to infect other enemies and tear down mobs quickly.

From here, use Blood Boil and Obliterate, then Frost Strike to keep your runic power levels up. For bigger mobs, you can then use Howling Blast to stack Rime, and follow it up with Death and Decay.

You'll also want to keep Horn of Winter active at all times, as this increases your and your allies strength and agility. It also generates runic power, which is essential to unlocking the likes of Blood Boil or Obliterate.

Of the class' three different presences, you'll want to take Blood Presence. This is the standard leveling presence, as it increases your damage output, as well as providing you with little bursts of health.

If you're really struggling and find yourself getting sent straight back to the afterlife with every fight, you can drop some runic power on Icebound Fortitude in order to give yourself some much needed defence, death isn't the end in WoW, but it sure is frustrating.
