Which one is better Death Knight Blood or Death Knight Frost?

Answer 1

Honestly it really all depends on if you want to tank or dps.

Dk's take a long time to get good at tanking because they can't use a shield. But if tanking is for you then i suggest you do the following with your gear.

1: Get gear with Dodge and PARRY rating. Since cataclysm also look for gear with MASTERY rating on it too.

2. Gem your gear with MASTERY mostly. Also for strength, stamina and dodge rating.

For your dps:

1. Use MELEE the most. (meaning don't use your spells often) Very occasionally use Bloodstrike and very rarely use Deathstrike. Avoid using anything else.

On the other hand if you decide to go frost then do the following:

Gear:

1. Look for gear with CRIT and HIT rating.

2. Gem your gear with STRENGTH and occasionally hit rating

For your dps:

1. If your level 85 then you must produce 10K dps or better for raiding and for doing zul aman's and zul grubs. If not then try and pull as much dps by doing: HOWLING BLAST x3, PLAUGESTRIKE x2, FROST STIKE x2

2. Make sure when you're specing that you take the talent Runic Power Mastery, and max that. This will give you THIRTY extra runic power, making it easier for you to do the sequence above.

So there you have it, again it really all comes down to if you want to tank or dps. Obviously tanks will do more dps because they are speced to do so, but frost DKs (when speced, geared and trained right) can do the same. If your level 85 try and go for purple items with a high item level. 355 is ideal item level for raiding apparently so if you're geared pretty well then by all means have a shot at Bastion of Twilight (known as BOT) or Black Wing Decent (known as BWD)

Good luck :D
