Frost Death Knight (11.1.7)
- Viability: Meta ranking places Frost DK in the D‑Tier for DPS, tied at ~2,160 LB_CI, so it’s playable but not top‑tier compared to other specs
- Strengths: Great disruption and crowd-control, strong sustained and burst cleave, solid survivability kits .
- Weaknesses: Low mobility, lacks burst finishing power, limited CC and weak against reactive comps
- Patch Updates: No major changes in 11.1.7, though some PvP-focused talents like Icecap and Deathbringer/Rider shifts
- Community Feedback: New PvP talents are fun, but Frost remains niche in Arena, especially without AoE stun capabilities
Unholy Death Knight (11.1.7)
- Viability: Also ranked around D‑Tier for DPS competitive with Frost but still below the top metas
- Strengths: Strong sustained single- and multi-target pressure, powerful toolkit (Death Grip, Mind Freeze, Asphyxiate), excellent setup for caster stuns
- Weaknesses: Low mobility, setups require globals, burst less impactful, heavy cooldown and disease management
- Patch Updates: Slight nerfs on magic resist talents (Null Magic reduced), but overall toolkit remained solid
Overall PvP Meta Insight
- Both Frost and Unholy DKs are currently considered playable but niche, better suited for experienced players or specific comps.
- Neither spec breaks into A‑ or S‑Tier; the meta favors more mobile, burst-heavy specs.
- If you enjoy strong utility, PvP control, and sustained damage—and don’t mind slower pace—both are viable options.
