Unholy Death Knight DPS Guide (WoD 6.0.3)

Welcome to our Unholy Death Knight DPS guide for World of Warcraft WoD 6.0.3. Here, you will learn everything you need to know about playing an Unholy Death Knight in a raid environment, although most of the content also applies to normal and heroic dungeons.

This guide has been reviewed and approved by Mendenbarr, a prominent theorycrafter who maintains Death Knight guides on Elitist Jerks. He also works on Destiny Softworks, a blog for DPS Death Knights.

The Unholy specialisation currently performs better than Frost, in both single target and AoE fights.

Compared to other classes' specialisations, Unholy Death Knights perform relatively well, although there are several specialisations that over-take them in DPS.

To make it easy to navigate the guide, we have split it into 7 pages:

• Builds, Talents, and Glyphs: learn how to choose your talents and glyphs;
• Rotation, Cooldowns, and Abilities: master your rotation and your cooldowns;
• Buffs, Debuffs, and Useful Abilities: discover your arsenal of useful abilities;
• Statistics Priority: read up on the respective values of your statistics;
• Gems, Enchants, and Consumables: choose the best gems, enchantments, etc.;
• Macros and Addons: step up your game with useful macros and addons;
• Gearing Up and Best in Slot: find the best gear you can wear.
