Note that other talent trees are possible, including more offensive options. However, these options are reserved for situations where your level of stuff far exceeds the content.


Stats to favor in DK Blood

Our hierarchy of secondary stats for a Blood Death Knight in Raid takes into account the use of the talents listed at the top of this guide. The values ​​will change depending on your equipment as well as the content. Note that for a Tank, the item level is generally the most important since this determines the total endurance and strength, the two strongest stats at this position.

Since then, mastery, haste and criticism will be at equal level in terms of the most important secondary stats. Indeed, with diminishing returns, each time you increase one stat, the others will become more and more important.

Item Level > Mastery = Haste = Critical > Versatility

We strongly recommend using software like Simcraft or RaidBots
in order to test piece by piece, point by point, the DPS gain based on your equipment. If specializations have fairly clear differences between secondary stats, this is not always the case and each stuff is different. So your results will be more accurate by using a simulation tool to compare.


Enchantments for the DK Blood

Enchantments allow you to balance your stats (see above) and generally increase the effectiveness of your character. It is recommended to only add it to pieces that you plan to keep as little as possible. Also, be aware that it is possible to replace one enchantment with another, but you will lose the first one.


Consumables for the Blood Death Knight in Dragonflight

In terms of consumables to use in Blood Death Knight in Raid, some of them will depend on the level of the bosses and your ambitions. So, under normal circumstances, it is generally not necessary to use premium consumables. On the other hand, in heroic and mythical, you will need to use combat potions as often as possible as well as all the usual necessities.

For the Flask (Phial in English), the latter only lasts 30 minutes but can be accumulated twice (i.e. a total of 1 hour).


Best Trinkets for DK Blood in Raid

Since jewelry is one of your character's most important pieces of equipment, we recommend two of the best trinkets as well as four alternatives to them.

Blood Death Knight, a good Tank in Raid on Dragonflight?

In season 4 of Dragonflight, the Blood Death Knight is a good Raid Tank.

The Blood Death Knight is mainly played in Raids for two reasons: his incredible ability to heal himself and his Grip of Death. At this level, the DK is totally unique and many groups will not be able to trivialize strategies if they do not have a Death Knight. So, even if its DPS is relatively low, its utility is undeniable in many fights. On the other hand, on the Emerald Dream, its interest will be more linked to its ability to completely counter certain magical abilities via Anti-magic shella huge advantage given the number of fights where magic damage is high.
