Frost Death Knight Best Legendaries in Shadowlands — Shadowlands 9.1

One of the new parts of Shadowlands is that you have gained the ability to craft Legendaries through Runecarving. Runecarving becomes available to you as you progress through Torghast. You gain Legendary powers through different gameplay sources, and once you obtain them you can craft your own Legendary. Each of these Legendaries will boost the power of your character in a specific way, however you can only wear 1 Legendary item at a time. This guide will go over each Legendary effect to help you make the choice a lot easier.

• Koltira's Favor is the best single-target option when used with Obliteration.
• Rage of the Frozen Champion works really well with Breath of Sindragosa, coming up very close to Koltira's Favor in single-target. It is the recommended Legendary for Breath of Sindragosa due to its versatility.

Koltira's Favor is technically the best single-target throughput Legendary for any build. However, when it comes to Breath of Sindragosa, Rage of the Frozen Champion is pretty much always picked up. This is due to two main factors. One, Rage of the Frozen Champion feels much better to play. Your Breath windows become more fluid and last slightly longer. It does not feel bad to use up your Rimes anymore. Furthermore, as soon as we add more than a single target, Rage of the Frozen Champion beats Koltira's Favor. Players therefore opt to just always run Rage since the single-target downside is small, the feeling is better, and the AoE is superiour.

Obliteration generally lacks in AoE but I would not recommend picking up Biting Cold in Raids. The single-target loss is simply too great to ever justify picking it!

This section covers the best Mythic+ and Torghast Legendaries. For this purpose, we have decided to rate Legendaries based on a their performance in both single-target and AoE scenarios.

1. Biting Cold is the strongest choice for Mythic+ with the Obliteration build. This is generally due to other Legendaries not working well with the Obliteration playstyle.
2. Rage of the Frozen Champion is a great, well-rounded option for Mythic+ and Torghast with Breath of Sindragosa. It provides both solid single-target and great AoE damage.

You can opt to pick up Biting Cold with Breath of Sindragosa as well. It brings slightly more AoE for quite significantly lower single-target. The AoE does also become more consistent which is an added benefit. I think for Fortified weeks specifically where you do not plan any huge pulls around your Breath of Sindragosa, Biting Cold is the possible play.
