UPDATE: DK has been buffed since this guide making the old clawing shadows build stronger and just as viable. PLEASE Subscribe to the channel ❤ I will post my 6-0 that got us to #1 so you guys can see the build in action!
what about how in the vid you said dont run 4 set but i looked at ur char on checkpvp and your using 4set? also the timestamps are completlty wrong. you start talkjing about damage at 10:51
I usually don't comment on your videos, but this was very helpful. I was just looking for a guide for this season, having reached 1700 in solo shuffle on my UH DK. Thanks so much for making these guides and helping those out who are looking for the best builds and rotations to use. Just subscribed and looking forward to more of your videos :D
Hey I just started playing dk like a week ago and already got 2529 in shuffle thanks to your guide , i Never knew dks were so much fun , keep owning it up and thanks alot for this guide helped à ton
Thanks I'll give it a shot, been full time DK 2 years I've hit the skill wall need some help. One other important mention your guides are straight up delivery of useful info, GG. Also not making embarrassing spectacle of yourself doing so. I'm on board you got my SUB.
If you're still gearing/playing in BG Blitz or BGs in general would you recommend going Rotten Touch (more Scourge Strike damage after a Death Coil) and Harbinger of Doom (more frequent Sudden Dooms) and maybe Reaping (30% more damage on Scourge Strike/Death Coil in execute range)?
Just reached lvl 70 and ready for pvp. This guide is a great start to learn! By chance do you have guides on how you handle each class and what look out for? I havent memorized all the classes abilities but would definitely appreciate how to counter all of them!
If you ever run Bg's or Epics, defile/grip of the dead is a handy tool for keeping players in the kill zone while also being great for kiting large groups of players/pets.
So glad I watched this video. Saved me from wasting my time on this class. The whole "spread" and then burst numerous targets is not my type of playstyle. Still trying to find a dps toon for blitz brawl. Been using my fistweaver to heal.
I love unholy deathknight class fantasy but I quit for a year and a half and came back and learned ele shaman. Made me realize how crazy clunky UHDK is lol
@@Partywaffles thanks to you i hit 1800 in solo shuffle today...i really wanted the set....definitely helpful guide. definitely worth a sub :) considering i had 0 knowledge of how to play a dk either
Thx for your vid. That I get It right I have to made all targets with my wounds, to make the most dmg that I can do right? What 3v3 comb do you prefer for uh dk is walking dead good or better with a shadow priest?
Unholy Endurance reduces damage taken by 15%. It doesn't specify JUST "physical" damage, so its safe to assume that it implies ALL damage is reduced by 15% during LB. So. I wouldn't ever take it off. Unholy needs all the tankiness it can get.
hey man, another good video thanks for sharing. i wanted to ask about shadow claw - i notice that one of the biggest issues that i have when running plague build is that i just get kited all day if the caster is skilled and just feels super bad. The most recent was an ice mage - he played extremely well and was difficult to run down but, is shadow claw a good alternative for these kinds of situations? Second question: What are your thoughts on using death pact/unholy endurance into melee and permafrost/ gloom ward into casters? and lastly, by losing the 4 set bonus do we use bloody token gear to substitute those 2 spots? because there is so much information out there now are we not running the 9% crit anymore from helm? thanks again for sharing/ explaining
You could play clawing shadows in those situations but if the mage gets away you can also swap targets for a second. If you use all your mobility proper you can general still get uptime without clawing though. Death pact is bad imo but if you really wanted it you can. You use conquest gear in place of the 2 tier pieces we’re not using.
Hi ! Sorry coming back in S4. I understand you bought the Legs with conquest and converted them into set legs. But I'm not certain of how you got the shoulders set ? Did you buy with World PvP Bloody tokens and converted them ? I suppose not as we can only convert one piece per week... Thank you for your guide !
Do you use focus binds or arena target 1-3 binds? Same question for pet stun/snare/kick. Maybe you could do a general video on that and how you focus target/target in arena.
That’s basically what this was. For strategies into individual comps I would just watch what I do into them on stream or in PvP videos I post. There’s gonna be a new one live today. I also breakdown my gameplay sometimes and explain it if that’s kinda what you mean.
@@Partywaffles Yeah I think I phrased it wrong I meant just like a beginner arena guide. Like how you would position in the actual match and just basic stuff you do in the arena, I'll go ahead and watch some of your gameplay videos to see
i got to say i have never looked up a video on how todo pvp with any of the specs i play i normally play but unholy i just cant get down even this video didnt really help me understand but im use to either just damage or stealth and dps over time. Its a great video but im not understanding the unholy part to many steps and stuff just to get ok damage for someone that only started a year ago
Yes? 3/6 of my last videos are pvp gameplay videos. I stream pvp gameplay every day on stream too. Next video is a unholy solo shuffle 6-0 lobby to #1.
@@Partywaffles Nah i dont play DF after seeing what it had become in season 1 with shuffle, doesnt change the fact that shuffle rank 1 is not real rank 1, sorry. Its like winning Golden glove as a boxer and saying you're world champ 😂
@@Partywaffles Lol i dont need a pretend rank 1 to teach me to play a game mode for the socially inept in a dead game 😂 keep coping buddy im sure you will be good enough to get a real rank eventually😚

Thanks for commenting :)
I was struggling to win matches so I looked up a guide and stumbled on this. Total game changer! I'm winning more matches than ever now! 10/10 tips!
finally a proper good guide talents everything explained rather than just game play! great guide bro x
Haha I do a new guide every single season bro! After that I fill with gameplay :)
Well thank you to you! Not all heroes wear capes 🫡 x
Hey I just started playing dk like a week ago and already got 2529 in shuffle thanks to your guide , i Never knew dks were so much fun , keep owning it up and thanks alot for this guide helped à ton
Quality pvp spec guides from good players are getting scarce. Dont stop making these, awesome guide!
Don’t worry I won’t stop :) new one every season
Thanks I'll give it a shot, been full time DK 2 years I've hit the skill wall need some help. One other important mention your guides are straight up delivery of useful info, GG. Also not making embarrassing spectacle of yourself doing so. I'm on board you got my SUB.
thanks dude! your dk guides helped me get 2.1 for the first time ever xD hopefully I can get it this season too
Nice guide!!! Very thorough and I'm stoked to see frost next!! You rock, Party 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Every season without fail your guides are 11/10 no doubt. Thank you.
I just started playing Unholy, with this guide am winning solo shuffle rounds 5 and 6 0, thanks for a great guide dude!
Perfect timing brother! Just swapped back to Unholy and finally interested to grind some shuffles with him!
Awesome!! That’s what I was shooting for.
Thanks for the S4 guide! Never understood how to do proper damage/rotation on UH so thanks!
Can’t wait for S4 Frost :)
Niceee I hit 2.1k with your help ! Ty for this guide!

Hes done it again, im just returning, looking forward to tuning back in to the streams /Caswell.
You convinced me. I’m rerolling dk today. Wish me luck.
Good luck friend
If you ever run Bg's or Epics, defile/grip of the dead is a handy tool for keeping players in the kill zone while also being great for kiting large groups of players/pets.
Yeah it has so many uses I swear. You can drop it around a pillar to slow someone even!
So glad I watched this video. Saved me from wasting my time on this class. The whole "spread" and then burst numerous targets is not my type of playstyle.

only the Best from Partwaffles around here!
You know it brother
I love unholy deathknight class fantasy but I quit for a year and a half and came back and learned ele shaman. Made me realize how crazy clunky UHDK is lol
you're a genius dude, like and sub
Would love to see a 3v3 guide for Unholy DK/WW Monk or all 3v3 comps and how to play well together
there it is💚
There it is boys
Hey! Awesome vid! DO you use the same talents in 2's and for pretty much straight ST? just curious whats better. I only really run 2's
This guide is incredible. Thanks so much. Question, does this talent tree and spec only work for solo shuffle or is it just as effective for 2v2?
It works in everything :)
@@Partywaffles thanks to you i hit 1800 in solo shuffle today...i really wanted the set....definitely helpful guide. definitely worth a sub :) considering i had 0 knowledge of how to play a dk either
Thx for your vid. That I get It right I have to made all targets with my wounds, to make the most dmg that I can do right? What 3v3 comb do you prefer for uh dk is walking dead good or better with a shadow priest?
That’s correct! I like any comp atm really with a pres healer or hpriest
And on 3v3?
Hello! Im new to DK and i'm trying to learn it, should I play Unholy or Frost as a beginner (pvp/pve)? Thanks!
Can you explain rot and winter pvp talent and why you don't use it ? Much appreciated 👍
Is frost better since buff? Is it as viable as unholy? I main a resto shaman but used to main unholy and frost for years
Great guide. You explain everything simply….
Thanks man, this is awesome
Glad you liked it
Unholy Endurance reduces damage taken by 15%. It doesn't specify JUST "physical" damage, so its safe to assume that it implies ALL damage is reduced by 15% during LB.
So. I wouldn't ever take it off. Unholy needs all the tankiness it can get.
What piece would you recommend crafting this season? Would it be the boots with the interrupt effect again?
Boots and chest
Hello, good video very informative, easy to understand! May i ask what race recommend for DK?
Orc or human imo but id just play whatever looks best!
@@Partywaffles ty!
Thanks for Guide!
You’re welcome

Hi ! Sorry coming back in S4. I understand you bought the Legs with conquest and converted them into set legs. But I'm not certain of how you got the shoulders set ? Did you buy with World PvP Bloody tokens and converted them ? I suppose not as we can only convert one piece per week... Thank you for your guide !
Probably used the Challenger II reward to get an additional piece from the vendor in Valdrakken.
I didn’t buy the legs and convert them, I bought them with the token you get at 1600 for free
Ty party, great guide. Is rotten touch and harbinger not worth playing now? I use claw of shadows as easier for me -(
I would use those talents with clawing shadows yeah. Basically the same clawing build from last season.
Do you use focus binds or arena target 1-3 binds? Same question for pet stun/snare/kick. Maybe you could do a general video on that and how you focus target/target in arena.
I use focus binds and target 123. I have macro videos which go over it a bit more 😊
Great guide man thank you. Any chance of you making a basic DK arena strategy guide?
That’s basically what this was. For strategies into individual comps I would just watch what I do into them on stream or in PvP videos I post. There’s gonna be a new one live today. I also breakdown my gameplay sometimes and explain it if that’s kinda what you mean.
@@Partywaffles Yeah I think I phrased it wrong I meant just like a beginner arena guide. Like how you would position in the actual match and just basic stuff you do in the arena, I'll go ahead and watch some of your gameplay videos to see
What a great guide. Please make a frost dk guide as well.
Thank you I will. Just running behind schedule since unholy has been so good
Good video. Thank you.
Yw :)
i got to say i have never looked up a video on how todo pvp with any of the specs i play i normally play but unholy i just cant get down even this video didnt really help me understand but im use to either just damage or stealth and dps over time. Its a great video but im not understanding the unholy part to many steps and stuff just to get ok damage for someone that only started a year ago
Make a guide for 2v2 gameplay. Defile cleave build in 2v2 also?
Good guide bro! Why i cant find you on check-pvp?
Wym? check-pvp.fr/us/Illidan/Partywaffles all my chars work fine for me
@Partywaffles u have a makro guide too ?
good guide btw thx
I do yeah, just search partywaffles macros
Another stupid question, but what are the gems you put into your neck piece?
Can you explain a little bit better why we need to drop the 4-P set
The 4-p set gives more dps I don’t understand
For more versatility to survive better in damp meta
@@Partywaffles but doing just the 2 pc vs 4 pc is just about 3% more versatility in total, and doing 4 pc won’t give you a dmg boost ?
Can I ask what the name of the crafted chest we are supposed to make?
Thanks man
You're welcome!
Only question
When do you take strang over cryptfever and vice versa
I take crypt fever into monks/rdruids most of the time. Sometimes I will play it all the time.
Great videos 👍
Thank you
My pet uses gnaw and leap by itself, how can i control that myself and not the pet?
Do you ever use the clawing shadows build?
No not at the moment, it feels weak now since the scaling.
I play the 3 classes that use plates, warrior paladin and dk, I got the transmogs of s1, s2, s3... This season there is nothing new for me, right?
No new elite set this season, that is correct.
What would be the best race
Orc or human
Thx bro
Since we have more secondary stats, still dont put anything on crit?
Yeah everything but crit
@@Partywafflessigh, im long hoping for a doomburst crit build where you can just hit chunky exploding coils to the faces xD would be really fun
hey sorry for ask but how do you get two epic items in the first week srry Im new
You can craft one. Buy 2 with conquest, get a free piece for 1600 and for bloody tokens and sparks you can buy another epic!
thx m8, damn i use to Clawing Shadow :(
I mean you could still try it but since it lost some lethality I haven’t been enjoying it.
Subscribed :)
vaah
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Time stamps are off, just heads up
Oh wow my bad thank you! I’ll fix them
Is this still up to date for right now
yes
what macros do u use mate ?
I have a macros video and their all in my discord :)
yoo buddy, can you share your Plaguebringer WA?
It’s in the discord in the description. Weak auras channel.
I really really just wanna play clawing shadows
Play it bro you can play the last season clawing build if you really want to. It might not be the most optimal but it will still work.
@@Partywaffles I decided to set my unholy on 3rd prio. Hes been nr for years. Doing my ret and dh now.

@@LeesArts "Socially inept". That's rich, based on your contribution to this conversation.
how am i 528 and im always the kill target at 2-2.1k mmr and everything i try to do im just dead
Not sure probably need to kite or play/rotate defensive talents a bit more
@@Partywaffles or have teamates who peel haha thanks bro looking forward to your videos next exp
