Unholy Death Knight Leveling

[positiv2 949]

This thread is for comments about our Unholy Death Knight Shadowlands Leveling Guide.

[Guest Skift]

On this guide, at level 10 you recommend we use Raise Dead (now at level 12) and Sacrificial Pact (now at level 54). I would change this due to the level changes in Shadowlands.

[Guest Vandine]

The guide says you can use Sacrificial Pact at level 8 when in truth you don't get that until level 54.

good call, I will fix that! Don't know why I have that.

On this guide you have Asphyxiate for the level 30 talent, but it is not a choice. Unholy Death Knight level 30 talents from left to right are as follows: Foul Bulwark, Relish in Blood, and Blood Tap.

That's actually the level 30 talent row for Blood, Unholy is Grip of the Dead, Death's Reach, Asphyxiate in the level 30 row.

Sacrificial Pact is now learned at Level 54. The Unholy DK Shadowlands leveling guide has this mentioned in the rotation at Level 44.

Thanks!

Had a small typo that didn't include it in the slider, thank you!

death and decay do not let you attack 4th ennemies until level 43 , but you indicate it in the rotation since level 9 .

I'll look at that, thank you!

In your guide it recommends we use Apocalypse at level 18, when it doesn't unlock until 19

Don't know if its only me but the talent tree is broken. Can't see what are the recommendations.

There's a few specs like this that I'm waiting for. Most specs have them working but this is one that isn't and I'd like to see what the gist of the spec is like before DF launch

This will be resolved shortly, many thanks for raising it!

The Unholy Tree suggestions don't make a lot of sense. It suggests slotting 2x Ghoulish Frenzy in early 50s and Army of The Dead in the 60 range, but Army of the Dead comes before Ghoulish Frenzy, you literally can't follow this build in the order it suggests for levelling. Aside from that it's suggesting slotting Army of the Damned, which is primarily a cooldown reduction for Apocalypse, but the build doesn't slot Apocalypse as an ability. Appreciate the other effects are still valuable but overall this build needs a once over, especially regarding the order in which talents are selected while progressing through levels because it just doesn't work. At level 57 according to the build I should be talenting Superstrain but that isn't possible because you need to slot Army of the Dead earlier to slot the Ghoulish Frenzy talents as mentioned above.

What am I missing? Did they call out using Anti-Magic shield, but then not slot it on the talent tree?

It's definitely slotted in the tree, it's the point right after death strike! There's an improved anti-magic shell point that I don't recommend spending, maybe that's what you are referring to?

How come this leveling build changed so much since yesterday?

I wasn't aware of too many unholy DK changes coming with patch 10.0.7.
