Hello, I’m having some trouble with DK.
I just recently leveled my DK to 120 as frost but I’d like to try out unholy.
Are there any good guides/videos on how to properly play unholy that are tailored to complete beginners? Ideally, one that goes through everything from setting up the toolbar, starting slow with spells and demonstrating interactions, then moving on to how they all fit together?
I understand that I’m supposed to keep my plague up with outbreak, but I’m having trouble understanding the rotation beyond that. Do I want to festering strike as many mobs as possible? When do I use what abilities? What are my most commonly used abilities?
Icyveins is a good starting point if you have no clue about anything. Gives a decent baseline talent selection as well as the rotation. Just search up “Icyveins Unholy DK” and practice your rotation at the training dummy till it becomes muscle memory.
Hazzad Gaming on Youtube makes some decent DK guides. Though his Unholy guides might be currently outdated, he seems more interested in 8.2 Frost atm.
A nameplate add-on or ElvUI would be benifical so you can keep track of your stacks of “Festering Wounds” on your targets. It’s basically the bulk of our playstyle.
You’ve come at a wierd time. With 8.2 upon us, you might have to wait a week or so for people to figure things out and create the most up-to-date guides with this new essence system going into place.
If you want i can help with that, you can add in game and i can give you pointers.

I would suggest wowhead for written guides.
If you want a video guide the only ones I have seen that are accurate are Hyperion’s.
Just type Hyperion gaming into YouTube.
There are a lot of bad clickbait videos so beware.
Keep in mind that everything will be updated in the coming weeks once they finish balancing essences/specs.
Thank you for all that information! I’m looking forward to trying the new patch this weekend.

I would check out Hyperion Gaming if you want video’s. He has some good DK guides and topics including 8.2 stuff. Plus I think he has is pov for specific fights if you want some way in depth.
