Remember to watch for items with 2-3 slots on them as you level...

Unholy is definitely the tree I know the least about. Honestly, I don't even see how it can be considered an AoE tree anymore as unholy blight has changed. Unless wandering plague procs that much.
I fixed the rotation, I totally ignored the effect of Desolation.
I initially put the DC there in between laying diseases and continuing the use of runes to simply get Unholy Blight going, I thought getting that dot rolling sooner would lead to better dps/faster kills.
I've also read that ghoul frenzy isn't worth the talent point, is this different for leveling?

You can still AoE just fine with CE, DnD and BB. Not hard at all. Yeah, the UB nerf sucks, but hey, what can you do?
If you're AoEing and grabbing mobs, using a BT+GF to keep your pet up while it's grabbing other mobs is a fairly nice investment for one point since it saves you from spamming DCs on the Ghoul to heal it. Plus, the Haste isn't bad.

Awesome guide, thanks a lot for writing this! I have a priest as my main and play my DK when I get bored. After reading this, I really think I should level him up.

Good guide, thanks for the information.
Could you add a small section on runeforging? I know it's not a huge deal, however since the first quest you do as a DK involves the runeforging process it might warrant something. I'm finally getting around to leveling my first DK and some starter info on the runeforged enchants would be helpful.

Ne ne necro.... And deathknights dont need a lvling guide. The other 99% of the dk population, the so-called deathknoobs, do.

A good start on a much needed guide. I've seen to many DK's out there with heavy spell power/
spell pen gems
and doing horrible DPS. Hopefully we can turn around the games unfortunate view of DK's.
Spell pen gems/enchants are actually needed for arena/pvp to bypass resistances.

For leveling your blood DK, would it be worth mentioning
this
build? It's what I come out of the start area with every time I do it. I sacrifice a few HP tools for sheer damage, and to be honest with you it's flawless. I can solo elites, group quests and massive pulls no problem, and things die faster.

Looks fine and kinda is what I'd take. You dont really need those talents like vendetta anyway.

I didn't think so either, one or two DSs and I'm at full HP anyway.

You can use vendetta is a good way... I've read Nystalis guide and I must say there are some tips between the lines.
If you do get vendetta, you can actualy pull a group of about 7-10, maybe even 12, and just kill them 'one by one'. If you don't focus on killing them all at once, but just let your HS hit more then one target, you gain the 6% hp after every kill, thus making it almost impossible for the mobs to kill you, because you stay topped the whole time.
So as far as I'm concerned, it's a nice talent to have while leveling. But after you are done leveling, its not that important.
Just my 2 cents, don't skin me for that.
And I DO think Nystali did one hell of a job making this guide, if you think about the time and effort he put in it.

It's an incredible guide, but you're never going to agree 100% with someone. It's why I love WoW's leveling system.
