Few tanks are feared more than the Death Knight. This class can be great for players that are looking for something new, or wish to start fresh on a new server, as the Death Knight begins that game a level 55. It is recommended that new players first take a chance to experience the game with a character that begins at level 1 before jumping into this class.

Death Knights specialize in two group roles very well, and that is the role of a tank and a damage dealer. While there are three talent specializations, the two most effective choices are the Unholy and Blood talent trees. When utilizing the Blood talent specialization, you become a damage dealing machine that drains health back into your character based on a percentage of your damage output. This creates less down time as you mow through enemies.

Unholy Death Knights don’t have to heal very often because they usually have help with them in the form of zombies. This zombie can be cast on creatures once they are killed and are great companions to a Death Knight. If the talent specialization is done correctly, this zombie can be present nearly all of the time.

You should not forget that tanking knights are well trained and have a great difference when compared to the other tanks, particularly the warriors and paladins, which appear to be less specialized. What’s surprising is that they don’t apply the use of shields just like the druids. They also insure that they use their defence in a special way, plus have great stamina which comes in handy. The fact that they have one-hand weapons and a dual wield gives them an added advantage.

Just as the name suggests tanking death knights possess great tanking abilities, which helps them to tackle multiple monsters without troubles. They don’t have rage or mana but the runes plus runic power sets them apart.

While runes may seem foreign and confusing at first, it isn’t difficult to grasp. The idea behind it is that you will need six runes, two of which will be a base type. The major runes are comprised of frost, blood, and unholy, and can be used in several different ways. When used correctly, frost and unholy runes can be used to bring out another form of runes referred to as death runes, which can count as both. This provides you with the opportunity to experiment with several different combinations.

This class will feel very unfamiliar compared to any other class in World of Warcraft, and that is the idea behind it. With the Wrath of the Lich King, Blizzard has created a character that is unlike any other, and it is recommended that you do some research before dedicating yourself to this class.

Read and understand the leveling guide as well as you can, particularly if you are new to World of Warcraft. The guide will provide you with the clear directions and incite you will need to navigate through this new and wonderful class.
