Let ’em all get infected then blow them up.

Epidemic is by far the best talent in this tier for any sort of burst AoE.

Useful for fighting packs of short lived mobs.

Ebon Fever: Makes Virulent Plague do all of its damage in half the time.

Since you can’t change talents on the fly this will be the best overall pick if you’re looking at mixed encounters.

Bursting Sores: The best talent for most cleave (2+ enemies) situations and pretty close to All Will Serve for single target.

All Will Serve: A passive dps increase that happens to best on single target.

Our general picks are checked,, but do note that you might want to change now and then, depending on the particular fight. That will give you one minute to switch up. If you are in the raid/dungeon and need to change talents (or Azerite Essences) before the next fight? Buy or make (with Inscription) a stack of Tome of the Quiet Mind.

So if you want to DPS one fight and then you need to tank the next one, or try unholy because it looks like a bitter fit, then switching is easy. As with changing specs, no special items are required for changed talents. You can change your spec (go Blood, to Frost, back to Unholy) any time you’re out of combat, but for the individual talents you need to get to the rested area. No reagents, trainers, or special rituals required. Your talents can easily be changed IF you’re in a “rested XP” area, such as your garrison, an inn, or the big city.

If you’re looking for more advice on leveling your Death Knight, check out our Death Knight Leveling Guide. However, the principals will still apply during the leveling process. This Unholy Death Knight guide is primarily intended for PvE and Raiding at max level. As they say, you are a master of death and decay, spreading infection and controlling undead minions to do your bidding.
