  • Prior to Cataclysm, tanking was possible in any of the 3 talent trees; Frost being traditional-style and unholy for magic bosses. Blood spec is the death knight tanking spec, while Frost spec and Unholy spec are the DPS specs. Death knights are able to dual wield and use two-handed weapons, however, this is only advised for the properly spec'ed Frost death knights. It is advised to put your higher DPS weapon in the main hand to maximize damage output when possible. Death knight skills scale off Attack Power, not Spell Power.

Death knights are able to dual wield and use two-handed weapons, however, this is only advised for the properly spec'ed Frost death knights. It is advised to put your higher DPS weapon in the main hand to maximize damage output when possible. Death knight skills scale off Attack Power, not Spell Power. It is advised that talent points and glyph space be invested in abilities that help the entire group, and abilities that increase the generation of Death Runes. Blood Presence should ONLY be used if you are the tank. Even if you are specced in blood tree, use Frost Presence or Unholy Presence when you are DPS. However, it is advised that you do NOT DPS in blood spec as your DPS will be very low and you may accidentally pull the tank's agrro. * Do not Death Grip or Death and Decay in an instance while DPSing unless you know what you are doing. Death Grip taunts enemies, which isn't usually a good idea unless the alternative is a clothie taking the hits. Death and Decay causes high aggro on the caster.
