When you want to try something new, one thing that you might be considering is rolling up a Death Knight? Death Knights are World of Warcraft's first hero class; having been dominated by the Lich King and thrown off his command, they are powerful, effective and versatile, and they can be a lot of fun to play. They begin at level 55, with gear that matches their skills, and with three different talent trees to work with, you might be a little confused as to which one to pick. Which talent tree is right for you, and which one matches your play style.

Blood Tree

With the Blood tree, you are looking at what might be the best leveling build for you, though Unholy does come a close second. This is a tree that allows you to conserve your runic power fairly easily and you will be able to launch more attacks in a short amount of time. The drawback is that your attacks are going to be dealing less damage. This is the talent tree for those interested in playing with the melee aspect of this class. This is also the tree that has healing abilities; when you are soloing, the ability to heal yourself is going to be very beneficial and this is where Rune Tap and Vampiric Blood come in. If you are interested in melee combat while leveling, this is the right tree for you.

Frost

A Frost Death Knight is going to be one who is very invested in ranged attacks. This is usually considered a balanced tree between Blood and Unholy, since it features both spell damage and melee damage. This is a good tree for people who like a little more deliberation with their attacks and who are interested in area of effect spells, for which Howling Blast is going to be your main contender. This tree is something that is better for people who are interested in getting a fair amount of damage from your build.

Unholy

Next to the Blood tree, the Unholy tree is excellent when you are looking to level; some people feel that it even surpasses the Blood tree. The Unholy tree lets you take several mobs on all at once; the ghoul that you are able to summon up can tank quite effectively for you, and it can leave you free to do a lot of damage. Through the use of Plague Strike, you are also going to be in a great place to deal out high DPS.

What kind of Death Knight are you looking to play and which talent tree matches your style? Check out what kind of potential this class has and see how it meshes with your own goals for the game. Because this class is so new, it is subject to change, and this is why an updated World of Warcraft guide can be so helpful!
