Welcome to our Frost Death Knight starter guide, which covers everything you need to start playing a new character in Shadowlands. While our other guide pages go into more individual detail, this simple starter guide covers all the basics in one place, whether you're a new Frost Death Knight, a returning player to Shadowlands, hardcore, or casual alike, it's the best place to get a beginners overview on the class. Included are basic talent builds, simplified rotations, stats, legendary recommendations, and more to get you started as quickly as possible.
Please keep in mind that this page is meant to get players started quickly as an introduction, and does not contain much in the way of detailed explanations, mechanics, competitive options, gearing, simulation comparisons, or nuance. For more in-depth information, including all those optimizations and more, check out the complete Frost Death Knight Guide pages linked in the navigation on the left-hand side of the page, and if you're leveling up in Shadowlands, you can take a look at our

Best Frost Death Knight Talents
The talents a Frost Death Knight chooses depends heavily on weapon choice. Below are solid builds that work well with dual-wielding as well as 2-handed gameplay.
Frost Death Knight Talents Guide
Frost Death Knight Stat Priority
Unlike previous expansions, primary stats such as Strength are much more important than they used to be, and secondary stats are close enough together that item level is usually more important factor when it comes to choosing gear. You can find out more about how stats work in the full Frost Death Knight Gear and Stat Priority guides.
Strength >> Mastery > Crit = Haste > Vers
Strength
: Increases all damage done by native class spells, abilities, and auto attacks. Previously one of the weakest stats, but now much more impactful, making raw item level much more important again.
Haste
: Compresses the rotation by reducing both the GCD as well as increasing the proc rate of most spells and trinkets.
Critical Strike
: Increases damage done by abilities, auto attacks, and trinkets. Also increases the proc rate of
Arma Letale
through the increased rate of critical hit autos.
Mastery
: Increases the frost damage you do. Importantly, this is only spells and abilities specific to the frost death knight, not trinkets or potions or other sources of potential frost damage.
Versatility
: Increases damage done and reduces damage taken by half the amount. Unlike Mastery, however, it affects all damage done including trinkets, potions, and enchantments.
