    Exclamation Death Knight Tanking(3.3.3 Updated)


    Register to remove this ad
    Blood

    Blood is a strong tanking tree, capable of excellent single-target threat and larger health pools.

    Blood Strengths

    • Single-Target Threat (see weaknesses)
    • Effective Health - capable of the highest effective health of any deep-tree build
    • Nice Raid Buffs - Abom's Might, Hysteria

    Blood Weaknesses

    • Dependency on debuffs for threat - Sunder/Expose armor (less of an issue on 25-man raids than 5/10-man)
    • AOE Threat - Very inferior to the other trees
    • Lack of proactive damage mitigation - No Bone Shield, UA, etc.

    Blood Builds

    Standard
    Single Target Rotation - IT-PS-DS-HS-HS DS-HS-HS-HS-HS RPDUMP = RS/Deathcoil
    Multi Target Rotation - DnD-IT-PS-Pest then TAB-HS/DS/Pest/BloodBoil RPDUMP = RS/Deathcoil


    Frost

    A well balanced tree.

    Frost Strengths
    • Well-rounded threat - both single and multi target threat is solid.
    • Damage reduction - Frigid Deathplate, Unbreakable Armor, Guile of Gorefiend, improved Frost Presence
    • Snap Aggro - Killing Machine/Howling Blast procs will glue whole packs of mobs to you.

    Frost Weaknesses
    • No real raid utility. If not specd into IIT, you don't buff your raid.


    Frost Builds

    Standard
    Single Target Rotation - IT-PS-OB-BS-BS IT-PS-OB-OB RPDUMP = RS/FS
    Alt. Single Target Rotation - IT-BS-OB-(Blood Tap if no Death Rune)OB RPDUMP = RS/FS
    Alt. Single Target Rotation - HB-BS-BS-OB OB-OB-OB RPDUMP = RS/FS (assumes HB Glyph)
    Multi-Target Rotation - DnD-IT-PS-Pest then TAB-HB/Pest/BloodBoil RPDUMP = RS/FS



    Unholy

    Unholy has recently been improved.

    Unholy Strengths
    • Damage reduction - Bone Shield + High avoidance
    • Raid Buffs - Ebon Plaguebringer is fantastic, and unholy Death Knights apply this debuff to (unlimited) nearby targets very easily.

    Unholy Weaknesses
    • Low(er) single-target threat.



    Unholy Builds

    Standard
    Single Target Rotation - IT-PS-BS-BS-SS IT-PS-SS-SS RPDUMP = RS/UnholyBlight/Deathcoil
    Multi Target Rotation - DnD-IT-PS-Pest then TAB-SS/Pest/BloodBoil RPDUMP = RS/Deathcoil



    3.3 Gear - Final (thanks Fn)

    This table is being developed for a "Best in Slot" analysis for tanking. Due to the changing nature of boss fights and incoming damage type/size, it's nearly impossible (and barely useful) to create separate tables for each type of fight. Clearly the sets listed here will be less/more ideal depending on the encounter.

    Notes: Due to the recent changes to T10, using 4/5 T10 is strongly recommended.
