Blood Death Knight Tank Guide – Dragonflight 10. Welcome to Wowhead’s Blood Death knight guide. This guide will help you master your Blood Death knight in all aspects of the blood orange varieties including raids and dungeons. They are both tank multiclassers and Useful Minions for the Acherus Death Knight community, where they answer questions regarding death knights and discuss class and encounter strategies.
As one of the six tank specializations in the game, our design as Blood Death Knights involves a reactive, optimization-driven playstyle: generating as much Runic Power as possible through spells and abilities, prioritizing the right one at the right time, and healing the damage you take back up with Death Strike. Overall, we are the jack-of-all-trades tank. We have answers to everything, although they may not be the most powerful answers individually. As the original hero class, Death Knights start at level 8 rather than level 1. All races from both the Horde and the Alliance can be Death Knights. If you like deep, engaging gameplay as a tank, and a rotation that truly rewards clever planning, we strongly encourage you to give Blood a try!
To help you out in the upcoming expansion, we prepared a special pre-patch page with everything you need to know for you Blood Death Knight during the Dragonflight Pre-Patch. While you do this, you also get to weave in Death and Decay procs for even more haste and damage, along with Blood Boil charges to deal damage and amplify Death Strike even further. It all sounds very disorienting, but it is rather simple – and a lot of it is helped by tracking the right things and committing the right habits to muscle memory early on. Dragonflight brings with it huge changes to talents, bringing new talent trees to life and allowing vast customization with them.
We prepared dedicated guides with the best information about Talents, Talent Trees, and the best Talent Builds to use during Dragonflight Season 1. For more information on how to play your Blood Death Knight, please see our Rotation Guide. Looking to start playing your Blood Death Knight?

Blood Death Knights can be any race from both the Horde and the Alliance.
Horde Death Knights can be any race, but we have a slight preference towards Goblin the additive passive haste buff is great, and Rocket Jump comes in handy to reposition and avoid mechanics that feature unavoidable knockbacks.
