Rating:

Welcome to our Frost Death Knight DPS guide for WoW WotLK. This guide will show you what you need to know to play the Death Knight class as Frost.

Talents

This is the popular Frost DK build. This build really starts to shine as your gear improves.

These 4 talents can be adjusted based on your gear and/or raid setup.

  • Black Ice can be bumped up to 2/5. This talent scales with Strength and not Armor Pen.
  • Blood-Caked Blade This talent is a solid DPS Boost. Synergizes with Armor Pen. The more the better
  • Killing Machine can be taken either way. The less crit you have, the more useful this talent becomes.
  • Subversion Small DPS increase but a nice threat decrease. This talent is better when you don’t have a paladin providing Salvation
