Equipment will be the main source of your character’s power, contributing the biggest bulk of your stats. It is therefore very important that you choose the correct equipment for each slot — commonly referred to as “best in slot” equipment – to maximize your power. This guide will cover a few of the best items for each slot for Blood Death Knight in the current phase of Cataclysm Classic.
Since the Valor Cap has been modified and players can now acquire full Valor Points from spamming Heroic Dungeons, even if they haven’t played from the launch of Cataclysm Classic, the Pre-Raid BiS list will include items from Tier 11.
