Time to get the big weapon and make a return as 2H Frost DK in Cataclysm! In this expansion Frost sadly is still not a meta spec and even more vulnerable than before. At least it kept its high on demand burst right out of the gate! Thanks to the talent "Might of the Frozen Wastes" 2H Frost DK Spec can now compete with Dual Wield Frost DK Spec. Allthough, if i was to max Frost PvP and had all Weapons available i would probly still opt towards 1H Frost (Threat of Thassarian), but the gap between the 2 Specs definitely closed and both are playable and quite fun now, with their unique pros and cons.
I would just pick the strongest weapons available to me at the moment and ensure the highest amount of stats for Necrotic Strike absorb and Howling Blast AP scaling.
2H build used in this video:

keep in mind Frost has alot of flex points (for example Deathgrip CD vs Blade Barrier 3/3, Desecration Sub-Unholy Route vs Hand of Doom Sub-Blood Route, Obliterate Talent/Glyph vs. 0/3 Oblit Talent and Icy Touch Glyph are all viable paths and have their own advantages in certain situations, matchups and brackets.
I have been playing alot of Unholy and Frost Dk (my favorite spec) over the past years and am currently playing Classic alot.
If you have any questions about DK PvP in Classic feel free to ask me in the comments!

Great video great music great gameplay ❤
Just did some 2s with a ret pally you play with on his horde toon. Yall are nasty. Would love to pick your brain sometime dawg! Keep these vids coming
Me as a fdk main love to see this
Great video, looks a lot of fun.
Would you please answer me what the addon is which tracks the enemy CDs. I'd very much like to sort a similar set up.
Hey, ty. Its a custom Weakaura. The addon OmniBar can also do exactly the same thing, just takes some more tweaking to make it look like this.
Hey man, mainly target calling in RBGs as Frost; but had a question on ability priority; when do I Obliterate / use Necrotic/ or use Frost Strike - what's the basic dps output for single target, duo target or 3+ target? and is it worth spending a GCD and waiting for runes to spread plagues to more people as frost?
For Single Target: Spam Necrotic on Unholy and Death Runes and Howling Blast on Frost Runes (if there is any enemy healing abilities, but thats the case most of the time), Frost Strike on KM Proc to burst or after Runes are spent. Diseases for Frost are way less important compared to WotLK, but before you start bursting, its also good to put them on target with Outbreak or Plague Strike. If some pala spam dispell them, just fk it tho, its not a high prio anymore and Frost Feaver will come automatically from HB.
Obliterate is just more of an Execute Ability or to maybe make people panic and pop fast CDs, it can have a high burst (especially if glyphed/talented and with KM), but also comes at a high cost (2 Runes and consuming the KM proc). So if there is enemy healing involved you want to prio Necro, except for the said Execute (if you can make someone bubble/bop or kill him in next globals or got enough Necros stacked already).
For duo target its hard to say, i would probly use most of the Death Runes on Howling Blast instead of Necros, but it could be worth to focus and take out one target still, so depends.
For 3+ target, just spam Howling Blast, thats one of the main reasons why Frost DK is so good in RBG anyway.
And i wouldnt worry about spreading Blood Plague too much (unless u somehow running the -10% meele dmg on Blood Plague talent from sub blood tree). When multiple targets are stacked you could spread both diseases for some extra dot dmg i guess, if you think the fight is going to last long enough to be worth. But honestly, you should be fine with just Howling Blast spam on aoe and Frost Feaver will get spread automatically with the Glyph.
Hey,nice video man!You use obliterate vs non-healer classes?Also,you have the talent that gives extra damage on obliterate?
Allmost every class/spec has healing now so still alot of necro but yes, i use obliterate with killing machine as an execute burst sometimes or through ams etc.
Was running the talent here, cause with 2H spec had points to spare and just wanted maximum burst for fun. With 1H Frost would run way less points into it or none. I feel like its not mandatory due to the high value Necrotic Strike and Howling Blast already bringing in PvP, but in some situations it can come in handy.
Love your videos man, spell pen still mandatory for dks in cata right?
ty bro, yes 195 Spellpen
Hi razoon, could you give me the talents for dk frost pvp but with one-handed weapons? Could I prioritize haste and then mastery for one-handed weapons?
Epic. What do u rate it overall compared to unholy?
well its ok with a pala and in zug triple DPS, but unholy is still way more solid overall sadly, superior spec
dk dps specs in pvp dying like flies now is hurting frost even more, cause its even less tanky and also the hungering cold nerf (meanwhile mages are better at everything and still got db ring insta cc xD)
what remains still fun about frost is huge burst right out of the gate and its also seems to do a bit better into some of the meele cleaves (not all)
WOW! its hard!
Been wanting to try frost in arenas just don't know what the stat priority is
after 5% Hitcap and 195 Spellpen and around + - 3,2k Resil
Strength > Mastery > Haste > Crit > other stats
I love your video ❤
Could you tell me what addon are you using that shows enemy cds like Bubble on the right side of character and debuffs on the left Could you share profile pls?
i use an omnibar cd and loss of control weakaura and on the right thats just a pretty standard gladdy profile, debuffs is just normal debuffs, i moved them a bit with leatrix plus
not sure which addons you ment exactly but thats everything i use in total for enemy cds and debuffs
At 4:26 you can see anti magic shield from enemy dk and bubble of enemy pala on the right side of character model.
Every big cd that enemy use i noticed is displayed next to them and they also take priority it seems. Thanks for answering bro!
But not the ones from gladius, the ones in middle of screen at that timestamp
Next to nameplates 😂 im so dumb at explaining things sorry
@@fireraassassin3911 ohh i see, thats also from the addon LoseControl and no worries man
Can you share with us talents? And what you thing about the weapons 2H or 2x 1H ?
2h is just better, the main reason - runic power generation from auttoattacks
www.wowhead.com/cata/talent-calc/death-knight/0230002-32031222232112210031-1_001s8q11xv721s9f31s7z41s7t51xv361sxd71s8g81s9r
This was the spec i was running, but keep in mind it was still more a "for fun" build; not sure about obliterate, i think its barely worth overall with 2H.
It was funny to annihilate other dks through AMS with it tho xd
There is def other viable routes for sure (one being desecration for example).
If i was to tryhard and had all full bis weapons available, i would probly still go dual wield, 100% dmg loss on dodge/parry without an offhand can be really annoying at times.
1h vs 2h are definitely more close than in Wrath overall, cause of Might of Frozen Waste talent (probly best to go with whatever strongest weapon you got atm and then pick respective spec).
Then again, if i rly want to tryhard id just use unholy spec xd
So can also just pick what feels more fun to you personally, 1H or 2H (the on screen numbers feel more satisfying with 2H ofc, but be warned about the dodge/parry thing as i said)
@@Razoonx Thank you
Hi, can you post the link for your Frost DK's talents and vicious pvp set?
talents is in video description and comments, also its literally just full vicious pvp set with mastery
@@Razoonx and the arms?
@@Razoonx And what weapons do you use? The talents are not in the description, could you please send them to me for a dk frost pvp and the set with the gems?
Do you use plague strike? or is it not worth the rune
ye i sometimes do, but its not a big deal tbh
diseases dont increase frost dk dmg by 30 % + anymore like in wrath, even frost feaver is not that important anymore to keep up at all cost
i use it when preparing dmg/burst before necro spam or on rogue through cloak to get the dot
if you DW which runes do you run on your weapons
razorice and fallen crusader
@@Razoonx so probly fallen crusader offhand im guessing
@@whodistho273 yep
Whats your stat prio for 2h frost?
after 5% Hitcap and 195 Spellpen and around + - 3,2k Resil
Strength > Mastery > Haste > Crit > other stats
its same for 2H and 1H Frost, except that u only need 2% Hit for Cap with 1H talent
Hey man could you share a dual wield build for pvp? I cant find one anywhere.
sure also gonna use dual wield frost again in my next video ;) : www.wowhead.com/cata/talent-calc/death-knight/0230102-32301222230112212301_001xv711s8q21s8731s7z41xv351s7t61s9r71s8g81sxd
there is still alot of flex points in the second row, endless winter, scent of blood vs unholy command or even desecration build etc.
obliterate build is also possible with dual wield after moving these flex points to annihilation, just depends if you want a bit more burst on execute or a more steady build with more utility
@@Razoonx Thats awesome thank you for the super fast response. I am new to DK PVP and I dont want to follow the UH meta. I love the look of DW.
np man gl!
@@Razoonx What Vicious DW weapons do you recommend?
Cool. Tired from unh. Cata frost is more fun spec in my opinion
do u give coaching ?
hm not on cata i just play
@@Razoonx schade
Is he playing wow or diablo, zoomed so far out i can't tell 😅
xd imo better OVERview like this ;)
5:00. Playing double healer?? lol
xD ye we gave it a try
Talent & glyphe pls ❤
www.wowhead.com/cata/talent-calc/death-knight/0230002-32031222232112210031-1_001s8q11xv721s9f31s7z41s7t51xv361sxd71s8g81s9r
if you want, check the video description for more detail info about the build and flex talent points etc.^^
I mean try rune of cinderglacer its so much better
hm, i don't like it, its PPM is rly bad, idk if that a bug in classic or supposed to be like that but it allmost never procs when needed the most and even then its only 2x stacks, looks better on paper than it actually is imo
meanwhile fallen crusader allmost perma uptime with high proc chance and +15% str profiting every single ability and also necros, i think its better.
Some small free selfhealing too, even tho thats not the main reason.
For dual wield i would use razorice together with fc
