6.2.2 Frost DK PvP Survival
COME AT ME BRO
It doesn’t matter what your iLevel is, a dead man’s DPS is zero.
A couple of weeks ago during the battleground event weekend, I learned a thing or two about myself. I discovered that I’m not that bad at the whole PVP thing. Also, fun fact, if I’ve got someone throwing heals at me I can wreck some serious face.
Such is the dilemma of a Frost Death Knight. I can pull some serious deeps, but staying alive can be a bit of an issue without a pocket healer. That’s where my boy Hazzed comes into the picture. He is one of the top Frost DK’s in the PVP scene, and he’s a great teacher too. The man can drop some serious knowledge.
For example, Hazzed turned me around as far as my thinking about self-heals go. Blood Death Knights are damn near unkillable. Frost DK’s tend to be a little more squishy. That all changed once Hazzed showed me the light when it came to keeping my ass alive. Who knew that Frost Death Knights had such great heals?!

And kill.
Speed Leveling From 90 to 100
My sixth DK at level cap. Good lord.
I’m clearly out of my goddamn mind.
As of this morning, well afternoon actually, I was staggered to realize that I had just leveled my thirteenth character to 100.
Holy. Shit. Really? Damn. Okay, well, this is my post I guess.
I wanted an Alliance DK on another server. Now I could have taken one of my already-capped-and-ready-to-party Horde Death Knights and slapped a faction and server transfer on him. But for an extra five bucks, I could just boost the DK I already had on the server and take some time to cap him out. I already had a few Elixirs of the Rapid Mind, so it wouldn’t take too long to do and it’d give me something to do.
Turns out, it probably would have taken just as long to transfer the character as it would to get the boosted Death Knight to 100. It was crazy fast, is what I’m saying.
Yes, flying has definitely made leveling quicker. I’d torn through the content to powerlevel a hunter from 90-100 already, so I knew what I was doing. With this DK, it wasn’t so much focusing on getting him to 100 as it was making sure I had enough garrison resources to get to a Level Three Garrison. If I had maybe another hour or so, I probably could have done it.
(Edit — Just after I posted this, I found a post on WoW Reddit that mentioned a thing called a Huge Ogre Cache that you can usually buy off the AH, and it rewards ONE THOUSAND GARRISON RESOURCES! So nailing a Level 3 garrison on a fresh 100 is doable if you have the gold.)
So if you’ve got a toon that is sitting at 90, and you made the effort to get flying, then what the Hell are you waiting for? Just get that thing to 100 and get ready for Legion.
Mad Season Show was good enough to put together a slick guide to help point you in the right direction for getting from 90-100 in under TWO HOURS! So check it out and get leveling.
