Frost Death Knight Best in Slot — WotLK, Phase 4 — ICC & Ruby Sanctum

Melee DPS · Updated 2026-07-23 Spotted a mistake in this BiS list? Email bis@boostyou.ai and we'll look into it.

Phase 4 (Icecrown Citadel 25 Heroic + The Ruby Sanctum) Best in Slot from the Icy Veins WotLK Classic Frost Death Knight gear guide (anchor phase-5-tier-10-best-in-slot). Dual-wields two Havoc's Call, Blade of Lordaeron Kings. Tier set: Sanctified Scourgelord line. Back is a faction-specific Trial of the Crusader tribute-chest cloak — Icy Veins lists only the Alliance version (Varian's Furor); the Horde equivalent from the same chest wasn't listed on the source page. Enchants/gems reused across WotLK Str-hit melee DPS specs.
