Re dei LichMandl Important Changes to Leveling a Death Knight in the Shadowlands Pre-Patch

Death Knights begin at level 10 instead of level 55. They may only start in their class newbie zone, unless they are an Allied Race. Allied Race members start at level 10 and begin with a short quest line in Icecrown Citadel that takes them to Stormwind or Orgrimmar.

There is a new tab on your spellbook between General and your talent specialization, simply titled "Death Knight". These are abilities that are now shared by all Death Knights regardless of any specialization they choose.

New Death Knights will not begin in a default spec (Unholy). Until they are allowed to choose a spec at level 10, their abilities are drawn from the general Death Knight abilities available to all specializations.

Experienced Death Knights will notice some talents have been reworked or rearranged, and may require re-acquiring some talents.

AoE (Area of Effect) caps are being introduced in the Shadowlands pre-patch, which places a limit on how many targets the ability can hit at once. This affects some Death Knight abilities.

Best Death Knight Leveling Spec in ShadowlandsChoosing a Death Knight Specialization

Blood: Use Comando Oscuro or Presa Mortale to engage targets. Ebollizione del Sangue hits enemies around you and applies Morbo del Sangue. Assalto della Morte is used to mitigate damage, and can be used to both heal you, or as a Runic Power dump. Strappo Midollare is used to generate stacks of Scudo d'Ossa, which increase your Haste and reduce your damage taken, as long as you have one charge of the buff on you. Assalto al Cuore is used to dump Runes; when used inside Morte e Distruzione, Assalto al Cuore will cleave 5 times.

Frost: Use Folata Gelida to deal AoE damage, spread your DoT, consume procs of Brina and generate Runic Power. Use Disintegrazione on single target, to spend your procs of Arma Letale and generate Runic Power. Use Assalto del Gelo to spend Runic Power. Inverno Spietato should be used on cooldown. Frost's damage depends on paying attention to Brina and Arma Letale procs to get the most out power of the spec.

Unholy: Use Rianima Cadavere to raise a ghoul to fight for you. Use Contagio to apply Piaga Virulenta. Use Assalto Putrescente to apply Ferita Putrescentes, and Assalto del Flagello to blow the wounds up. Trasformazione Oscura transforms your ghoul and makes it more powerful. Use Spira Mortale or Epidemia as a Runic Power dump or when you don't have Runes. Unholy's damage is dependant on keeping your ghoul transformed, keeping Virulent plague on the target, and blowing up as many wounds as possible.

The description for the Goblin racials are twisted.

Commento di Selenddron

Is there supposed to be a 110-120 area of this? I didn't notice one.

Commento di Edgysan

I would not suggest heirlooms (head,chest,shoulders) for lvls 110-120 but ok...

Commento di Jevnaker

Also there is only warmode talents suggested for blood not for the other two speccs.

At level 70, you will want to start runeforging your weapons with Rune of the Fallen Crusader, which has a chance to heal you and increase your Strength.

Rune of the Fallen Crusader is now available at Level 55.

Note: Ensure you asked Chromie to select Northrend to ensure the rewards as outlined below are excellent for you! She'll have exhorted you, in her sassy voice, to show no restraint when taking on the scourge!

Levelled up rapidly. My Blood DK has a woeful weapon (and gear too). If going to Northrend then the quest Riempire le gabbie will be ideal. Reward is a spec specific weapon Tritacarne dell'Emancipazione Invertita and it doesn't require a huge quest chain. Over in Grizzly Hills. Best of all, I got a blue upgrade!

The breadcrumb style prerequisites for this quest are Apre la stagione di caccia ai Troll! or Caccia ai Troll.

Now at Sholazar, at River's Heart, pick up the breadcrumb style quest Forza della natura from Pilot Vic. You are sent to meet the avatar of Freya who promptly offers you Un problema di fiducia and after you've killed the mobs you get a sweet piece of gear. The followup quest Restituito dieci volte rewards a nice peace of gear and a ring to boot.

Also up on the very high platform on the edge of the Basin, to the east, is another quick quest Un forziere consumato dal tempo with an appropriate gear reward and nice XP of course.

I do this little shuffle on all my alts. Of course, when a prepatch for any expansion hits, always look for easy gear catch ups from Blizzard.

I'm sorry, but recommending Unholy over Frost seems really, really bad. Unholy is a very involved spec, with multiple cooldowns to juggle. Frost has a simple rotation, great survivability and not as many plates to spin as Unholy. I think it's a major fault to recommend Unholy to new players to the class, resulting in frustration. Probably why icy-veins recommends Frost over Unholy too.

Thanks for posting this guide

Why would you advise players to use dark command or death grip to engage targets? Neither of those are best used on pull, they are better used to get a mob off a dps or healer, or yank a caster, or as a second interrupt (in death grip's case). Taunting on pull means your taunt is on CD for when you need it, and gripping on pull divides the pack, diminishing cleave. Pull with DnD into BB, or just BB if DnD is on CD.

For Frost, if you want to dual wield you are better of doing on your off-hand the Bloodsoaked Skullforge Reaver, since it gives you strength which it's better than getting more crit from Devouts Hammer
