FAQ
How is this Frost Death Knight guide made?
It aggregates the live armory profiles of the current top-ranked Frost Death Knight players — ranked by their in-game Mythic+ rating — through the Blizzard Profile API, then shows the gear, talents, stats, enchants, gems and embellishments they actually have equipped. It is observed data from real characters, not a simulation.
Is this the best-in-slot (BiS) gear for Frost Death Knight?
It is the observed best-in-slot: the gear, gems and enchants most-equipped by the highest-rated Death Knights right now. Treat it as a strong starting point and still sim your own character for the final call.
What is the difference between the Raid and Mythic+ builds?
RAID shows what top raiders have equipped, M+ shows what top Mythic+ players use, and ALL shows both. They often differ because raiding and Mythic+ reward different talents and stats.
How current is this Frost Death Knight guide?
It reflects WoW Midnight Season 1 (Patch 12.0.x) and only counts current-tier gear. The update time below shows how fresh the underlying armory snapshots are.
Why is my character not listed in the top Death Knights?
We only sample the current top players by Mythic+ rating. Low rating, inactivity, frequent spec changes, or off-tier gear will keep a character out of the list.
Data sourced from the Blizzard Profile API,
aggregated from the top-ranked Death Knights — sourced from leading raid-guild rosters and the highest in-game Mythic+ ratings.
This shows the gear, talents and stats those players actually have equipped — observed from live armories, not a simulation.
Sample sizes are shown per build — interpret accordingly.
