EDIT: At 15:42 there was a VERY LOUD noise which I had to edit out on Youtube, which explains the weird video skip. Sorry! Glad it is out of there now.
IT’S HERE. Shadowlands Season 1 is upon us, and it has brought a ton of new systems & mechanics. Covenants, soulbinds, conduits, legendaries, new runeforges, itemization, stat weights, abilities, talents, pvp talents…it’s a lot to handle! Every one of these decisions is very impactful in Unholy DK Arena, 2s, 3s, and even RBGs.
Therefore, I made a one stop shop for all your DK needs. Everything should be answered here to give you the most complete way of building your character to have success in this crazy season. This will dive into every frequently asked question I got in every medium to provide the most complete compilation of Unholy DK PVP info for Shadowlands!
IMPORTANT NOTE: This meta is a nightmare, one shots galore, massive output, marksman hunters, ret pallies, convoke, oh my! I know a lot of people have been pretty down about Unholy survivability and playstyle in this meta. I hear you! Stick around (or check out the timestamps!) for a motivational message that should be very relevant to what you want to hear fellow Unholy friends. Rise up brothers. We will be okay.
COMP TIER LIST coming next. There’s way too much info about the different comps to play, their playstyles, and which ones are the best or worst to cover at the end of these videos. So I gave you a little taste at the end, but sometime next week, expect a DK COMP TIER LIST coming out. GET HYPE.

WE DONE DID IT BOYS. I hope it helps. This is a crazy season so every bit of direction should hopefully be a blessing. I know a lot of folks have felt a little down on their favorite spec right now, stick around till the end (or click the time stamp!) for a MOTIVATIONAL MESSAGE! 😀
Thanks for this video man, Ive been really down lately playing unholy and just melting. Feels like ill never go above 1500. Great video, ill just keep playing.
Thanks a lot. As a Russian native speaker I have understood everything, your speech is clear and precise. Which addon do you use to help with rotation ? these icons near your hp bar at 04:02
Im happy bursting sores can be used too the long burst rotation + unholy blight can be dispelled when it stacked or just they run away fron you for 6 sec pissing me off sometime i got the feeling the spell is a waste on other hand bursting sores i just frenzy them into apoc and they got bombed so huge and it will be more interesting with frenzy leggo 12% boost i think the bombing will increase 😀
"Nobody is tanky" bullcrap, pala prot chuckling
Great guide! just what i needed to improve as an Unholy DK! one thing though will u be making a macro guide? that would benefit even more ! and i dont mean anything to complicated but just simple QoL macros.. Even if u dont i really appreciate both your unholy and frost guides! Subbed+liked+commented! 😛
This guy is awesome
Why accelerated cold before abomb’s limb? Is it because of the haste increase? Curious because abomb limb does lots of damage.
I think the big thing UH needs right now is a buff to NS, warriors spam a 25% heal reduction. I think if UH had some form of actual healing reduction our damage would actually feel like it is pressuring them.
How do you survive in 2s in this extremely bursty meta?
I'm playing TSG with 2 friends in 3s, but in 2s I'm playing with a healer friend who is either hpala or rdruid. Most of the matches just feel too unwinnable, healer (or even I) gets destroyed in 2 gcds by sub rogues and balance druids. If we manage to live through the opener burst, dps specs have so much healing that I can hardly out damage their off heals, and they can usually just reopen on the healer and kill him without cds. We tried double dps with ret pal, but then we get smacked by disc priests and arms warriors all the time.
Healthpools drop from 100% to 10% then back to 90% too fast, and unholy doesn't feel good neither at burst dmg or at burst healing (DS being way too weak compared to other dps self heals). Frost feels better in 3s, but in 2s it's harder to rely on chill streaks.
In previous seasons we managed to climb over 1900 rating (not much, but good enough for us), but now we've been hardstuck at 1300 for weeks and can hardly win games even with 190+ ilvl gear with full versatility. DK is my favorite class, but I'm really starting to think that I might need to restart as a filthy sub rogue or ww monk (or really anything that can kill you just by staring at you) if I want to have anything close to a good time in arena.
Would you recommend Death's Certainty as an alt Lego when you're playing against teams that have little to no magical damage (double melee dps/melee+hunter, etc). If so, which slot would you recommend it be put in?
commit to lunacy… use the quantum device with the 'drest' from raid.
im not done with the video but dude. thank you
Personally I think you should do the raid. People raiding are going to out gear you for awhile. But that’s just my opinion. I know I have plenty of raid gear mixed with pvp and I have a huge advantage in all the pvp content I have been doing.
Too long of videos .. use that brain bud
reanimation can be really good against certain comps tbf
8.3 was my first real PvP season and I hit my 2.4k! Now I cannot pass 1600. To be fair I have no PvP gear at all, but still DKs is in a disgraceful state atm.
Bless you man for breathing life back into this old Death Knight.
Do you PVE at all? I would love a guide this comprehensive for PVE, there are some out there but honestly I don't even pvp and I feel like with a bit of practice and this guide I could do quite well. I've been PVEing for the majority of my time in wow and the guides out there are nice, but how you broke down each talent situationally and what to do was so helpful, would love this for PVE content!!
New viewer here you didn’t add the addons 🙁
