Welcome to the Death Knight Talent Guide. This is a guide that explains every talent that a Death Knight possesses in real words, explains if it’s needed, what it synergizes with, and above all if you should get or skip. If you’re looking to understand what talents do and need more than the talent tree in the game then this is for you. If you’re looking for pre-made talent builds then go ahead and check this page.

There are three guides, two are currently complete, that go in-depth about each talent. Read up and enjoy finding out everything about what Death Knights have to offer talent wise!

Nice solid guide, thanks for putting it together.

Here are a few thoughts as I read through it:

Would be nice to see some Tanking and 2H talent builds, I didn't look at the Blood build but both Frost & Unholy you had DW builds.

For racials, the biggest appeal for a Night Elf is Quickness, and for the min/maxer's out there this is the reason why NE's are the best Alliance tanking race over Dwarves.

Human racials

Hi, good guide, I just have to respectfully object to this:

Humans have the weakest set of racials, except when it comes to grinding for reputation.

That may have been true at one time, but nowadays, humans come with Sword Specialization (+3 expertise) and Every Man for Himself (free PVP trinket without using the trinket slot? yes please!). Add to that the aforementioned Diplomacy (+10% rep gains) and you have a solid basis to push all the way to 80.

Xerin, I'll compile some DK builds for addition to the guide if you want. I know they're making changes at the moment for 3.1 so I might wait until those start to settle out a bit, but that would probably be helpful to people.
