Death Knight

Death Knights in World of Warcraft are powerful melee heroes, former champions resurrected by the Lich King to serve as his vengeful soldiers. Wielding dark magic and runeblade weaponry, they combine martial prowess with unholy, frost, or blood-based runes depending on their specialization. Blood Death Knights serve as tanks, sustaining themselves through self-healing and damage absorption. Frost specializes in high burst damage with dual-wield or two-handed weapons, while Unholy commands diseases and undead minions for relentless pressure. With abilities like Death Grip, Anti-Magic Shell, and Death Strike, Death Knights dominate the battlefield with battlefield control, resilience, and punishing counter-attacks. Their presence in PvP is marked by grim tenacity, crowd control, and sustained pressure through magic and melee.
