Which Death Knight Spec Is Best For DPS?

The death knight is one of the newest characters introduced in World of Warcraft. They are widely considered one of the easiest characters to play and level. Leveling time is cut in half already because they start at level 55 being the only heroic class that WoW has to offer. The three death knight specs are blood, frost, and unholy. If you are looking to level your character or maximize your damage output then blood would be the right death knight spec for you.

Blood is great for leveling and dungeons because not only do you maximize your dps output but you also have the greatest amount of survivability. Using your rune tap and vampire blood can prove to be your saving grace at the end of a large mob.

While using the blood death knight spec you will receive talents such as "blood worms" which creates 3 worms that fight with dk's attack any enemies in the area. These come in handy fighting mobs because of the steady aoe damage.

Your big hitter in the blood death knight spec is "heart strike". This is the largest melee burst that the DK is capable of. This talent also hits up to two other enemies as well as your initial target. This ability will be used the most frequently by blood DK's.

Last but not least at the bottom of your blood talent tree lies dancing rune weapon. When activated another weapon emerges doing the same attack as the DK just at 50% reduced damage. This talent is essential in maximizing your damage per second.

If you are trying to reach maximum damage per second as a blood DK a recommended rotation would be "icy touch", "plague strike", "heart strike", "heart strike", "death strike". After you've went through that rotation once all you have to do is spam "heart strike" until you diseases where off. Then start the rotation again.

Remember that WoW is gear based so you can't maximize your damage per second unless you have the gear to do so. Don't waste your time worrying about your max damage per second until you hit level 80 and begin to start raiding. In closing i do suggest a blood death knight build for anyone who is leveling a death knight to 80.
