Unholy, Blood, or Frost for Death Knight Leveling In Cataclysm

Really depends on your favorite flavor of leveling on what spec you wish to use while hitting the new 85 level cap.  Currently I'm using a dual spec of Blood and Unholy, which allows me to tank the new dungeons and kill things faster while questing.  At this point, the cost for dual spec shouldn't be a hindrance and any hybrid class should be taking advantage of the ability.

But you say, 'I don't have good enough gear to run the new normal dungeons in Cataclysm as a tank.'  Pfsssh, the first few quest rewards are green items of ilvl 277 or higher, which will be the best gear available at lvl 80, pushing you above the arbitrary gear score Blizzard requires for queing in the dungeon finder.

Been doing a bunch of quests in Hyjal and starting to get burned out, take a break and go discover the new dungeon entrances.  As of this posting you cannot use dungeon finder to que for a dungeon until you discover it's entrance.  This means at level 80 you need to discover Blackrock Caverns and Throne of the Tides.

Fast XP

I will tell you that you need to take time to run each low 80 dungeon at least once.  The amount of XP received from running Blackrock Caverns is just a crazy amount and the new quest system is amazing.  The quest giver and receiver is all inline within the dungeon, so no returned trips necessary.  Kill 'X' and receive upwards of 70k experience and with all the bosses in Blackrock Caverns this adds up really quick.

Death Knight Leveling from 55 - 58


This is a guest article submission on leveling your Death Knight from 55 to 58 in the World of Warcraft MMORPG.

Death Knight is a playable characters on an account with level 55 or higher character. At the beginning of the game, you will start at level 55, where there is a floating citadel on top of the eastern plaguelands. The eastern plagueland is only accessible by Death Knights.

The Death Knight is equipped with tools such as a set of gear, and 4 x deathweave bag. The first aid skill gives the Death Knight ability to make and use bandages for up to a potential skill of 300. The Death Knight can use the cloth to make bandages found on the humanoids.

In addition, the Death Knight is equipped with 225 skills in riding from the beginning. The riding skill allows them to ride on non epic flying mounts at a speed of 150%. With the riding skill, the Death Knight can be trained at level 60 at the cost of 250. If the Death Knight has exalted reputation, the cost can be discounted for up to 200. For example, if you want to train with Orc trainer Kildar, the cost can be discounted based on the reputation from Orgrimmar. In this case, gamers are required to train their riding skill with the Orc trainer. If he is exalted with another race or visiting a northtrend trainer, he will not be required to train with the respective race’s trainer. You can buy the flying mount from the trainer for 50. The flying mount will be consumed upon learning the mount. Later, you will be able to use the mount to cast spell in the Mounts section of the Pets tab. For the current expansion, players can only use the flying amount in Outland and Northtrend.

As you proceed through the game, you will encounter different quests that form the Death Knight story line. Once you finished the game, you are equipped with a quality set of gear, a free epic land mount and flightpoints.

One leveling tip is to follow the instruction and not skip the Death Knight quest. If you put the talent points into talent, you will reduce the downtime and increase the Death Knight’s damage. The auto loot feature allows you to save time when looting bodies. You can turn on auto loot by pressing ESC on the keyboard. Next, you should select Options > Controls > Auto Loot. It is recommended that you don’t waste your time finding group. Instead, you should only group with people when necessary. You should use only one weapon because it is time consuming to level the weapon skill. Since you start out with a sword, you can use the two handed swords for the rest of your leveling. PVP will slow you down when you are performing the leveling. If possible, you should not confront the PVP and avoid the opponents. Confronting the PVP will put you at a higher risk compare to drying world mobs and slow you down. In addition, killing the enemy players will not give you any XP at all.
