Unholy Death Knight (UDK) is a melee fighter who wields a two-handed weapon (sword, axe) and uses a variety of diseases and curses to deal damage. The spec has excellent burst damage in both AoE and single-target combat.
Don't forget to explore our class pages, where not only the best items in the slot are available, but also other alternatives for any class, spec or situation:
From the very first level you will already have abilities to deal damage. Your main abilities at early levels will be
Outbreak,
Scourge Strike and
Death Strike. As you level up you will gain new abilities, moving closer to your main rotation. We recommend following the ability priority from the rotation section.
If your group has few classes able to interrupt spells, or you plan a fight with many spell-casting mobs, be sure to pick up the
Cold Thirst talent. Interrupting abilities gives you 10 Runic Power and reduces the cooldown of the interrupt by 3 seconds, letting you interrupt dangerous enemy spells more often.
Take the
Asphyxiate talent if your group lacks or has insufficient crowd control. This ability lets you stun a target for 5 seconds, preventing it from casting dangerous spells.
Try to use
Death Grip as often as possible on mobs that cast constantly and stay in place. This ability interrupts the cast and pulls the pesky mob to you.
