2. Weapon Choice↑top

The only viable weapon for a Blood Death Knight is one of the following:

• Two-Handed Sword;
• Two-Handed Mace.

Additionally, you will only want to use weapons with Strength as their primary statistic, due to the benefits granted by Forceful Deflection.

3. Gearing Up↑top

When gearing up, we advise you to always prioritise pieces of Tier sets over non-set pieces of higher item level.

4. Loot Competition↑top

Blood Death Knights use Plate Armor with Strength and Stamina as their main stats. Additionally, they prefer Mastery Rating, Dodge Rating and Parry Rating over Critical Strike Rating and Haste Rating. Apart from other Blood Death Knights, they will also be competing for items with the classes listed below:

Item Type	Competing Classes
Tier Tokens	Frost/Unholy Death Knights, Druids, Mages, and Rogues
Plate Armor Amulets Cloaks Rings	Always: Protection Paladins and Protection Warriors Items without Tanking Stats*: Frost/Unholy Death Knights, Retribution Paladins, and Arms/Fury Warriors
Trinkets	Feral Druid Tanks, Protection Paladins, and Protection Warriors
Two-Handed Weapons	Items without Tanking Stats*: Frost/Unholy Death Knights, Retribution Paladins, and Arms/Fury Warriors

* Keep in mind that, pieces of gear without tanking statistics may be the best choice for tanks. This is the case of many Strength items with Mastery Rating.
