Getting your death knight close to 80 but can't figure out where to begin collecting gear? Worry no more! Below is a list of gear for each slot that you will have the option of choosing from. This includes reputation, instance, and crafted items. Along with gear I have also added what enchants you will need to get and what gems you should look into. Last but not least there is a section for builds and rotations for an Unholy dps death knight!

Don't forget to rate this guide!

Sigil
Unfortunately, unlike the rest of the gear mentioned, these sigils can only be obtained from emblem vendors. I may add an emblem section later on.

The best Sigil for Unholy DKs is [Sigil of Virulence]. This is true regardless of which spec variation you go with. With an 80% proc rate, a 10 second internal cooldown, and a 20 second duration, it will easily have a 90%+ uptime. [Sigil of the Vengeful Heart] comes in a somewhat moderate second place.

If you have access to neither of those, [Sigil of Awareness] is your next best bet, although it’s a somewhat distant third.

Enchants

Runeforges
There is currently only one viable Runeforge for PvE DPS: [Rune of the Fallen Crusader]. If you are dual wielding, you want RotFC on both your main hand and your off hand - even though the buffs won't stack, it will significantly increase the overall uptime.

The alternative enchants/runes do not even come close.


The enchants listed below are only available to certain professions.

Requires Inscription(400)
Requires Leatherworking(400)
Requires Blacksmithing(400)
Requires Enchanting(400)

Gems

Here are some gems you can look into buying.

The only time you should ever worry about matching the gem with the socket's color is when you are meeting the meta gem requirement.

Glyphs

The major glyphs are set in stone for two hand Unholy. No matter which of the four builds you are, no matter which of the “optional” talents you take, no matter what gear level you are currently at, you’ll use these same three glyphs.

None of the minor glyphs will have any large impact on your dps, so which you choose is largely up to you. Glyph of Pestilence is the one exception – although it won’t increase your dps in theory or in a simulator, a 50% range increases on Pestilence is generally considered a godsend for AoEing, and to go without it would be rather silly.

1.Why Unholy for Dps?
Why do it?

Why spec Unholy when you could go Blood for superior sustained single target dps, superior single target burst, Hysteria, Abomination's Might, and simpler gearing options?

Why spec Unholy when you could go Frost for superior sustained single target dps, superior AoE burst, Improved Icy Talons, and a more dynamic rotation?

Why?

This question is vital to this understanding anything in this section. After all, if there were no reason to spec Unholy over the alternatives, why would Unholy even exist?

Fortunately, Unholy has more than it's fair share of upsides, thus it's an easy argument to make. The more notable upsides of Unholy:

  • Superior Sustained AoE Dps
    Unholy is, unarguably, the strongest spec in the game at this role. No one - caster or melee - can top an Unholy DK on any fight with significant AoE, not if the DK knows his stuff. The lead in this area isn't a matter of a couple percent (as is Blood's/Frost's single target dps lead on Unholy. That difference is smaller than ever before); it's quite significant (varying on the exact number of mobs - the more, the larger the gap becomes).
  • Superior Raid Utility
    Abomination's Might and Improved Icy Talons, although obviously excellent, can be provided by other classes and other specs with the exact same result. Ebon Plague, on the other hand, cannot. Warlocks and Moonkin cannot provide their magic damage debuffs on multiple targets at the same time - not without incredible hardship and the sacrifice of their entire personal dps. What more is that Ebon Plague does something no other class or spec in the game can do: It increases disease damage by 30% - a significant amount. With diseases becoming increasingly important for all DKs, regardless of spec, thanks to the 15% damage boost they received in patch 3.2.0 and the 4p t9 set bonus, EP becomes increasingly valuable. If your raid contains at least two DKs, one being you, it is almost always worth it for one to go Unholy. Not only that, but with Devouring Plague being 10-15% of a shadow priest's damage, it's 3-5% more additional dps for them, with is essentially ~210-350 dps per spriest in your raid. EP is just huge. It cannot be stated enough.
  • Superior Survivability
    Bone Shield provides a near-passive 20% damage reduction. That's 20% less damage from every single AoE, every single nuke, every single add meleeing you - everything. It's highly underrated, but can be the difference between life and death in a million and one situations. Vampiric Blood and Unbreakable Armor, although excellent from a tank point of view, don't compare for dpsers.

The fact of the matter is, speccing Unholy makes you unique. It provides you with tools which no other class or spec can bring. It provides you with dps in an area (AoE) which no other spec can hope to reach. Everything Blood* and Frost bring to the table, on the other hand - be it their raid buffs, their single target dps, their survivability, their playstyles, whatever - can be matched or, in several cases, surpassed by others in a raid.

In the world of increasing homogenization, this fact makes Unholy one of the most "different" specs around today and, as such, it becomes one of the most valuable. The same cannot be said about Blood or Frost.

Whether you choose to spec it or not, is completely up to you. Blood and Frost are obviously not worthless and, depending on your typical raid composition and current level of progression, may in fact be ideal. It all depends on your personal circumstances, and there honestly is no right or wrong answer - at least not one which can be provided by others, only by yourself.

The point is: Unholy is more than worthy of its raid spot. Anything to the contrary is utterly incorrect, be it coming from some random forum troll, a fellow guildmate, or a meter-obsessed Blood/Frost DK.

*Hysteria aside.

2.Specs
Cookie Cutter builds as of 3.2.2
Currently there are a variety of viable specs; standard Blood Presence 2H, Blood Presence Dual Wield, Imp Unholy Presence 2H, and Imp Unholy Presence Dual Wield. Which you choose is largely a matter of personal preference and current gear level. All four use almost identical rotations and, as such, have incredibly similar play styles. Blood Presence Dual Wield does do the most dps in best in slot gear, however the difference between it and Blood Presence 2H is almost nominal.

Blood Presence 2H
_________________
16/0/55 – If you don't yet have 4p t9, you'll want to shift a point from Dark Conviction into Bladed Armor, but otherwise this is your base 2H build. This spec is drastically different than all of its Unholy predecessors in the sense that it drops two previously considered mandatory and vastly valuable talents - Reaping and Epidemic. Reaping will, at most, gain you about 600 damage every 20 seconds (which comes out to 30 dps, or 10 dps a talent point - a horrible investment) and, at worst, it's actually a dps loss. Epidemic, on the other hand, is still a dps gain; it's just not large enough of one to be worth taking over the alternatives (Desolation/Necrosis). The only fault of this build is in the AoE department - the lack of Epidemic, while worth it on single targets, does cause you to perform one less Blood Boil per 20 seconds. This loss is shared with the other three 'viable' 3.2.2 specs, however, and as such is considered quite acceptable, as it is relatively minor anyways. Your auto-attack will be the highest percent of your total damage, followed by your Ghoul and then your Death Coil. Death Coil plus it's subsequent UB will be your hardest hitting individual ability, followed closely by Scourge Strike.

Blood Presence Dual Wield
________________________
3/13/55 - The new standard Unholy DW build. Which you choose - 2H or DW - is a matter of choice, more so now then ever before due to the fact that their performance is near identical (with the DW spec just barely pulling ahead in BiS gear - by about 20 dps). Glyphs and stat weights are near identical. The rotation differs slightly from the 2H one, with one Blood Boil outdamaging one Blood Strike (although you still need to Blood Strike once per 20 seconds for Desolation). Once again, your auto-attack will be the highest percent of your total damage, followed by your Ghoul and then your Death Coil. Death Coil plus its subsequent UB will be your hardest hitting individual ability, followed not-so-closely by Scourge Strike.

Imp Unholy Presence 2H
_____________________
14/0/57 - If you do not yet have 4p t9, you'll want to shift two points in Dark Conviction to Bladed Armor. Played in Unholy Presence, this build works the same way as its brethren. If your haste falls below a certain threshold (the exact number has yet to be identified, but it's somewhere in the 200-300 range), this spec pulls ahead of Blood Presence due to the GCD reduction - once you surpass that specific haste, as one does easily in CC gear, it becomes inferior and not worth speccing. The downside to using UP, even when you are undergeared and its worth the single target bump, is the AoE loss; yes, you can always just switch to Blood Presence for AoE fights, however what about fights where you AoE about half the time and single target the other half (which many AoE fights are actually like)? Switching presences in combat is going to lose you dps, but if you don't switch you are either stuck in blood (losing half the reason to be this spec) or stuck in Unholy (losing a ton of AoE damage for little gain). Regardless, some find it worth the change. Your auto-attack will be the highest percent of your total damage, followed by your Ghoul and then your Death Coil. Death Coil plus it's subsequent UB will be your hardest hitting individual ability, followed closely by Scourge Strike.

Imp Unholy Presence Dual Wield
_____________________________
1/13/57 - The DW version of the Unholy Presence spec. It has the same upsides and downsides when compared to the standard Blood Presence DW build as the Unholy Presence 2H build has to the Blood Presence 2H build - more dps when you are below a certain amount of haste (~200ish), and a somewhat annoying interaction with AoE situations which can lead to a loss of damage depending on presence swapping. Your auto-attack will be the highest percent of your total damage, followed by your Ghoul and then your off-hand attack. Death Coil plus its subsequent UB will be your hardest hitting individual ability, followed not-so-closely by Scourge Strike.

Optional Talents
Although none of the specs (with the exception of Blood Presence DW) have free floating points to spend on whatever you choose, one can take points from either Bladed Armor or Dark Conviction at a relatively minor dps loss in favor of the utility provided by other talents:

  • Ghoul Frenzy – This talent should only be taken if you have trouble keeping your Ghoul alive. If you do, it becomes invaluable, as a dead Ghoul is a large portion of your dps down the drain (due to 30 seconds of absolutely zero Ghoul damage, followed by your Ghoul doing reduced damage for the remainder of the fight from missing buffs). If you don’t have issues with your Ghoul going down, then skip this talent. In nearly every case it will be a dps loss.
  • Improved Unholy Presence – Already taken in the Unholy Presence builds, Improved Unholy Presence is occasionally taken in Blood Presence builds solely for the runspeed increase, which some consider worth the sacrifice. How much of a dps boost the run speed increase itself is is very difficult to calculate. The value varies drastically from fight to fight. The best option to determine its worth is to try it out yourself, see if you notice a difference and, if you do, decide whether or not it is worth the two talent point. There is no right and wrong answer as to whether or not you should spec into IUP.
  • Epidemic - As already discussed,this talent is no longer worth the points from a single target point of view. From an AoE perspective, you do lose out however, and as such some still consider it a must have, even if the AoE loss is ever so slight.

Weapon Speed
When using a two hander, slower is better, of course. Generally speaking, however, you don't have many options - it's either 3.5 or 3.6, so the decision is made for you.

For dual wielding, you want your main hand weapon to be as slow as possible, which typically means 2.6s. A slow main hand from Ulduar is going to be better than a fast main hand from normal CC, despite the dps gap. Weapon speed is very important here.

Your off hand weapon, on the other hand, doesn't matter. The speed is irrelevant, essentially - just go with the highest dps one you can find. If you are contemplating ever going Frost DW, then you'll want to make your off hand slow, just in case, but for Unholy, it couldn't matter less.

3.Generalized Rotations
Single Target
Two Hand Builds
IT – PS – SS – BS – BS – DC – (HoW) – DC
IT – PS – SS – BS – BS – DC – DC

Dual Wield Builds
IT – PS – SS – BS – BB – DC – (HoW) – DC
IT – PS – SS – BB – BB – DC – DC

Without Reaping or Epidemic, your build essentially becomes ten seconds, which may seem strange at first and quite different to play. Priority wise, however, it is the same as ever: Apply diseases (PS - IT), dump your RP if its capped (DC), burn your blood runes (BS - BS), use your FU strike (SS), dump your RP (DC), use Horn if you have an extra gcd and are unable to do anything else (HoW).

You do end up clipping diseases, but it is acceptable to do so since the damage of Plague Strike + Icy Touch is almost the same as that of Scourge Strike, except for the fact that the former generates near double the runic power of the latter. You can't drop SS from your rotation completely, however, due to GCD constraints, SoV proccing, and the fact that disease clippinng, although acceptable to an extent, goes too far and becomes too large a loss.

In situations where you have additional RP thanks to Anti-Magic Shell, Revitalize, or Rapture, simply toss in the extra Death Coil(s) at the very end of your rotation. You have a solid 5 second window in which to use them, as diseases won't have dropped yet. DC is your hardest hitting ability when you factor in Unholy Blight, so it's fine to hold on to runes (so long as diseases remain up) to DC instead, provided you are RP capped.

Multi-Target / AoE
IT – PS – Pestilence – DnD – DC – HoW
IT – PS – Pestilence – BS – SS – DC – DC

Due to the shorter disease duration, you will have to Pest twice as often and, as such, lose out on being able to Blood Boil once per 20 seconds. You do end up losing a couple hundred dps in sustained AoE scenarios, but nothing too significant, and Bladed Armor along with Dark Conviction nearly cover the hole.

One common mistake players make is to Death and Decay before spreading their diseases. Doing so is a bad move (from a dps point of view. Tanking is another matter). Although it might seem like a dps gain to use Death and Decay initially so it is off cooldown sooner, it loses a lot of damage if your diseases aren’t on the target (15% from Rage of Rivendare, 13% from Ebon Plague, so on). As well, spreading your diseases sooner means more raid dps thanks to Ebon Plague.

Blood Striking to proc Desolation is a larger net dps gain than Blood Boiling, for those who are curious. If Desolation is already up, then Blood Boiling becomes the clear winner, but such a situation will never happen without Epidemic.

It is a direct copy but I wasn't trying to hide that and if someone assumes anything in this guide was created by me that's not my fault as I don't state anywhere that it is. I put the guide together using various pieces of information from the internet. But if there is some rule or something about copy & paste I guess I can add somewhere that I got it from elitistjerks.

Long as I don't claim its mine I don't think anyone really cares though. lol

Blood DPS?

Submitted by Bitsem on Tue, 2009-10-06 14:57.

Hi! Love this guide and the fact that you also include crafted items! I was wondering if these are also viable options for a Blood spec DPS? I decided to try Blood after the latest point refund and am enjoying it, but now that I've hit 80 I've kind of stalled out. Not a lot of time for grouping, but want to get geared up for when I can tackle some endgame stuff! Thanks for the great info!

Not sure

Submitted by curlyqu on Tue, 2009-10-06 22:55.

I'm glad you like the guide!

Now to the question...
From 55 to 80 I have only ever been unholy dps so I don't have any first hand experience on blood dps, but what I can tell you from what I've read and heard is blood makes much more use of armor penetration. I'm going to assume that's because the primary attacks in blood are physical attacks unlike the unholy tree filled with magic attacks. So it seems to me while the gear may not differ much, you would need much more armor penetration gems in order to get the most out of blood. Hope this helps at least a little. Smiling

Another cracking guide...

Submitted by Silvermute on Mon, 2009-04-13 16:07.

This and Jame's are the best guides I've found on t'internet, no doubt (note unnecessary Wire reference...). If I could have an added feature (and apologies if this has already been covered and I've missed it), it would be some clearly marked alternatives for the casual player for a couple of the categories.

Although I've attempted to keep up in a raiding guild, work/life commitments mean it's unfair on the other players to have to carry me, so now I'm solo. At the same time, I'd love my toons to be the best they possibly could, so giving rep/crafted alternatives for things like the gloves and belts you have listed would be great.

That said, you've got most of the categories covered, so a really minor point.

Sure man, I'll look around for some extra options for any item which doesn't have an alternate way of obtaining the item without doing an instance.

But you may have to wait a while, I've got to redo a ton of stuff simply to do somethings differently and because of patch 3.1.

And your complement is very much appreciated. Thank you!

Submitted by Meikai on Tue, 2009-02-10 19:01.

personaly, I dont like too much haste on my DKs gear.

if ur rotation takes less than the time u need to start it again, ur haste will only be helping ur melee hit. In my case, my melee hit is around 20% + necrosis +4% + blood caked and some other things.

so, always keep this in mind... if ur rotation ends too fast. dont stack haste, go for crit, AP, hit, expertise.

easy gear to get:

head - [Spiked Titansteel Helm] BS craft
neck - badges 10 man
shoulder - [Spaulders of the Giant Lords] revered son of hodyr
back - [Cloak of Bloodied Waters] BoE from Gundrak
chest - [Chestplate of Conquest] BS craft
bracer - [Vengeance Bindings] BS craft
gloves - [Fists of Loken] HoL normal mode
waist - [Spiked Metal Cilice] Strat normal mode
legs - [Staggering Legplates] UK heroic is the perfect low gear legs, but if u r having problems getting groups for heroics, go for pinnacle normal mode and get [Ancient Royal Legguards]
feet - [Death-Inured Sabatons] exalted Knights of the Ebon or maybe [Spiked Titansteel Treads] BS craft
Rings - JC craft + some other
trinkets - find 2 and keep them lol, there is [Sphere of Red Dragon's Blood] from nexus heroic that really helped me on the begining
Sigil - if u r unholy, complete some dailies at Grizzly Hills and get the [Sigil of Arthritic Binding]
weap - [Titansteel Destroyer] BS craft or [Runeblade of Demonstrable Power] revered Knights of the Ebon

just one more thing...
all DKs, remember one thing... 1STR is better than 2AP, fallen crusader procs.. and another thing, please, dont stack too much crit gems on ur gear, doesnt matter if u go from 30% to 35% crit, if u ekip +16str insted of +16crit, u will have a little less crit but ur crits will be a lot harder and ur normal hits too.

Order

Is there any order to the items? For example in weapons, is Titansteel Destroyer the best on your list while Runeblade of Demonstrable Power is the worst.

Not really

Submitted by curlyqu on Mon, 2009-02-09 21:36.

All the items listed are all perfectly fine starters for going into your 10man Naxx or whatever it may be, and while some may seem better than others it's simply a matter of opinion and what stats you want. So while the Runeblade may not have the raw power of the Destroyer, it gives a lot of crit and haste + the attack power to help it catch up to those weapons in its same class which have more normal damage. A major determining factor of which weapon you should get is your resources. If you have the gold, take the Destroyer over the Runeblade. If you have access to doing lots of heroic instance runs, save your gold and get the Cleaver instead.

In my opinion, the Cleaver is by far the best in that list. Just my opinion though. And in fact, I never even obtained it on my Death-Knight and settled with the Runeblade until I got my Demise. So no item is really needed over the other since all of them are awesome weapons.

Hope this helped!

Ah sorry I assumed the guide was only supposed to be about what gear to get and where to get it since in the needed guides section it said "Best item outside of raids for every class.", but I'll work on getting that other info in as well.

-Add the info about the items dropping from Heroic mode or not, so people don't have to look for them? Simply add a little "Heroic" or "Normal" tag next to the instance.

About that, the Normal or Heroic is next to the item, on the left side. Or if you mean something else please tell.

Normal in Red, and Heroic in Green.

about the extra info, spec

Submitted by Puli on Thu, 2009-02-05 19:28.

about the extra info, spec is very important usually for what gear you take. Not too sure about the specifics for DK's but I know for the classes I play, different specs prefer different stats. Just saying 2 hand dps might not be enough.

Also, when you give good stat priorities it helps people make choices, even if it is just gearing up in order to do the heroics that give the best gear.

edit: one other thing, for the reputation gear, you should put the faction and rep required to get the item. Just saves your reader some time looking it up.

All in all a good guide. I like that you put multiples at every slot instead of just making it with only 1 per.
