Frost Death Knight DPS Simulations — Midnight Season 1
On this page, you will find a number of useful simulation results for your Frost Death Knights in World of Warcraft — Midnight Season 1.
Disclaimer Page
With the advent of certain tools such as Raidbots, simulating your character has now become simple enough that we can recommend even the average player to do so. It is through advanced simulations that many of the recommendations in this guide are found, and by doing your own you can easily figure out what talents you should be using with your particular gearing combination, what gear to equip, what embellishments to equip and more. Below there is a video guiding you on how to sim your character. Underneath that, you will find some generic simulations that apply to most people.
Be mindful in Midnight with the 
Potion of Recklessness potion that
we use. It puts a lot more emphasis on exactly which secondary stat is the highest,
causing some potentially confusing results when you sim yourself. Items that are likely
to be upgrades show as downgrades because they swap your highest secondary stat.
Frost Death Knight Racial Bonus Simulations
Keep in mind that some of these races also have very useful abilities, such
as 
Shadowmeld for Night Elves.
