Learn how to create a Death Knight in World of Warcraft with the Wrath expansion, starting at level 55 with all blue equipment.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Install the Wrath of the Lich King expansion for World of Warcraft.
  2. 2
    Create a character of any race that has reached level 55.

Tips
  • Death Knights emerge with all blue equipment.
  • You will likely be a kill or two away from level 59 upon creation.
  • Death Knights have three distinct paths (specs) available.
  • All Death Knight specs can perform both tanking and damage dealing (DPS) roles effectively.
  • You can mix and match spec abilities to suit your playstyle.
  • Consider leveling in Unholy, dealing DPS in Blood or Unholy, and tanking in Frost, though other tanking combinations are possible.
