Unholy Death Knight Leveling Tips for

Use Brote or Pudrir as soon as your enemies are grouped up, so that you can start using Epidemia.

If you're worried about your health, focus on low-health targets first since Socorro oscuro will allow you to heal yourself back up for free!

Maintain your Guadaña purulenta debuff as much as possible by casting Festering Scythe at least once every 25 seconds in AoE, as this increases our passive damage on all targets and allows for much easier mass pulls.

Unholy Wold Content Spec Tree‎‎

Pathing Notes

While leveling an Unholy Death Knight, almost all of our abilities come from the specialization tree itself. This makes smart pathing through the tree incredibly important, so as to get the most powerful nodes for your leveling experience as quickly as possible.

Spend the first 3 points going down the left side of the tree, going from Brote, down to Sombras desgarradoras, Before making a quick detour to the right to pick up Pudrir.
To the right branch now, follow it down to Transformación oscura, before picking up Infecciones hediondas and Maestría de la tumba.
From the left once again, pick up Guadaña purulenta, and Fiebre de ébano, before heading down the center of the tree down to Ejército de muertos, before picking up Presagista de la fatalidad and Espiral de devastación.
On the right side once again, we will be picking up almost everything on this side. Start with Astucia del nigromante and follow it down to Devoción profana first, then pick up Garras infectadas, Segador de almas, and Cosecha.
Once you've got 20 points spent and have unlocked the bottom, we will start by picking up Ecos pútridos before going to the right, picking up Llamado condenado and following it down to Ventaja numérica. Afterwards, pick up Aura profana, and Reanimación.
On the left side of the tree, you'll pick up Ráfaga de peste, and spend 2 points into Plagueo.
Finally onto the Apex Talents, at level 81 you will unlock the first point, spend it on Conocimiento prohibido's first point. Once you hit level 84, you'll unlock the second node, at which point you'll remove 1 point from Plagueo and put 2 points into the second Frobidden Knowledge node. Once you hit level 87, you'll replace the Scourging point, as the Final Forbidden Knowledge Point isn't unlocked until level 90.

Death Knight Class Tree‎‎

Pathing Notes
The Death Knight class tree is a bit less prominent in terms of new abilities compared to the specialization tree, but still holds a lot of keys to keeping things smooth while leveling. Following this pathing will help you ensure you get everything you need, as soon as reasonably possible.

Death Knight Hero Tree‎‎

Pathing Notes
The Rider of the Apocalypse hero talent tree is a bit less straightforward with pathing, where most of our initial focus is on getting Whitemane as buffed as possible, before heading down the left-middle branch to pick up the capstone. After that, we finish off the tree in the order of the highest damage potential nodes first.

The recommended path is laid out for you below.
