Death Knights in Wrath of the Lich King were an extremely versatile class capable of filling many roles. An unfortunate side effect of that versatility was that they lacked a clearly defined role in many situations with each tree being a muddle of defensive, offensive, and utility abilities.Visit our site to buy cheap WoW gold and read more information of WoW.

Cataclysm talent trees are significantly less muddled.Most of the passive defenses have been removed from Frost and Unholy and given to Blood. Each of these trees were compensated for the loss of an active ability by receiving a powerful active damage dealing cooldown.

One of the most notable changes is the removal of some of the area of effect abilities.Wandering Plague, which is arguably the most powerful passive AoE in the game, is gone.Talents that passively increased diseases like Crypt Fever have also disappeared.This is not surprising, however, given the systematic nerfing and removal of AoE abilities that has been going on in the Cataclysm Beta.

Frost underwent some massive changes for the better.The tree was streamlined incredibly, condensing the long and expensive talent chain to get Improved Icy Talons to just 1 talent point down from 9. With the removal of tanking talents and addition of another strong raid buff in the form of Brittle Bones and a very powerful damage cooldown - Pillar of Frost - the Frost tree is looking very appealing.

Blood is the true enigma of the three trees. It has been completely redesigned and stacked with great tanking talents.With the obscene amount of cooldowns that Blood Death Knights will have (Antimagic Shield, Bone Armor, Icebound Fortitude, Rune Tap, Vampiric Blood, Dancing Rune Weapon, not to mention Will of the Necropolis), they will be absolute beasts for tanking assuming that their armor and evasion is brought in line with the other tanking classes. On paper,for now,they look amazing and this could revitalize DK tanking which has been effectively dead since patch 3.2.
