Death Knight PvP Guides for Cataclysm Classic

Death Knight deals an incredible amount of damage while remaining one of the most difficult to deal with classes in the game due to abilities like Death Grip and Strangulate allowing them to easily disrupt enemies in any kind of PvP scenario.

Your specialization options as Death Knight are unfortunately a bit limited; Unholy remains king of Death Knight PvP specs and, in arena especially, considerably out performs Frost and Blood.

Check out our Unholy Death Knight PvP guides to get a better understanding of how to gear and play your Death Knight in PvP. Inside of these guides we have included a number of ways to improve your game play as well as a list of what is considered to be the best-in-slot set for PvP.

If you are unsure what classes pair best with your Death Knight check out our guides listed below breaking down the strongest compositions for each arena bracket.

Macros and Addons can give you an edge in PvP as a lot of PvP engagements come down to two things, ability to react correctly and who has the most information. Macros allow you to complete actions much quicker than you would likely otherwise be able to by inputting multiple inputs at the same time and Addons allow you access to much more information than you would otherwise have, make sure to check out our Death Knight-specific Addons and Macros guides; listed below to help optimize your game play experience.
