Death Knight Multi-Spec Farming Route

Gear up multiple Death Knight specs from one loot run. For each boss / source below you'll see which BiS pieces drop, which specs want each one, and the recommended loot specialization to set when you kill it (Midnight Season 2).

This page ranks sources by how many Death Knight spec BiS items they drop, based on top parses from The Venomous Abyss S2. The tier set token leads with 5 BiS items across all three specs, so set Blood as your loot spec there to cover Blood, Frost, and Unholy. Altar of Fangs and crafted items each offer 3 BiS pieces; for crafted, choose Frost to get the shared Spellbreaker's Bracers. Raid bosses from The Venomous Abyss provide 2 BiS items each, with Frost recommended for most, but note that the trinket Voracious Heart of Ula'tek is used by all specs. When farming Mythic+ dungeons, set Blood for Altar of Fangs and Voidscar Arena, but Frost for Murder Row. Use the specs listed next to each item to decide your loot specialization, and remember that usage percentages reflect what top players wear, not item performance.
