Frost Death Knight (FDK) is a melee DPS that can use either a two-handed weapon or dual-wield one-handed weapons. The class mechanic revolves around abilities that generate resources and others that spend them, making it ideal for players who enjoy following a strict rotation to maximize character effectiveness.
Very good cleave damage that allows you to deal AoE damage while hitting a priority target.Simple rotation that allows you to quickly learn the class and perform well.Good defensive abilities for both yourself and the group/raid.
Small number of abilities, which significantly limits the rotation. The class may seem boring to some players.Single target damage is inconsistent and may not be the highest.If abilities do not proc, there are downtime periods in the rotation when all abilities are on cooldown.

From level one you will already have damage-dealing abilities. The main abilities at early levels are Frost Strike and 
Death Strike. As you level up you will gain new abilities, approaching the full rotation. We recommend following the ability priority from the rotation section.
If your group has few classes capable of interrupting spells or you expect to fight many spell-casting mobs, make sure to take the talent 
Cold Thirst. When interrupting abilities you will gain 10 Runic Power and the cooldown will be reduced by 3 seconds, allowing you to interrupt dangerous enemy spells more frequently.
Take the talent 
Asphyxiate if your group lacks crowd control effects. This ability allows you to stun a target for 5 seconds, preventing it from casting dangerous spells.
Try to use 
Death Grip as often as possible on mobs that constantly channel spells and do not move. This ability will interrupt the cast and pull the annoying mob to you.
