The most important task for any Unholy Death Knight is to obtain death runes so we can use Assalto Necrotico (more info on this spell later) and to also ensure our diseases are always on every possible target in arena/rbg.
Use to open with, Contagio comes later.

The strongest method to obtain death runes, is via the spells such as and .
This is stronger than using festering strike, since we can spread our diseases and get some buffs purged early.

Never use 2 or in a row, use these abilities separately so you don't waste a GCD on your runes

Use Spira Mortale when ever it is available to build up and

Now will have 4 death runes and are ready to proceed to the 2nd stage. Remember to use Assalto del Flagello to fill in your Unholy runes.

Stage 2: The Burst

This stage is where the use of Assalto Necrotico becomes viable and where your cooldowns should be used like Evocazione: Gargoyle and (more on cds later)

The key to necro stacking, is to create a large stack on the target and keep it there for as long as possible.

Fill in with your abilities such as Spira Mortale and Assalto del Flagello

Try to finish your enemy of with , make sure the damage happens by cushioning the 5 second duration with your Assalto Necrotico

Stage 3: The Recovery

You need to be getting back to stage 2 as quick as possible, so repeat everything in stage 1 to return yourself to having 4 death runes.

Stage 4: Dot Management

This is probably the most important stage, I recently learnt this from a gladiator death knight and it massively improved my damage outcome in arena.

Affliction warlock use this trick to increase the damage of the their dots for long periods of time

When your procs occur such as Runa del Crociato Caduto Fregio della Vittoria del Gladiatore Orgoglioso
(preferably in sync with one another and used with Distintivo della Vittoria del Gladiatore Orgoglioso) you should immediately reapply your diseases with Contagio.
This is why we save the cooldown of Contagio for later, considering we don't have to be in melee range to use it.

Following this, you should start to use your Assalto Putrescente to increase the duration of your diseases, but never use Assalto Putrescente with a death rune.

Last Stage: Notable Features of DPS

is generated by your death coils. Five stacks will give you an extra Assalto Necrotico (Good to stack up 10 before you burst)

s are also generated by your death coils. 5 stacks will buff your pet with Trasformazione Oscura
massively increaseing his damage, increased duration of his stun and the addition of a charge ability
(similar to a Warrior's charge).

Attivazione Runica should only be used when you have 4 death runes on cooldown, followed by a necro burst.

Use Evocazione: Gargoyle and together for maximum damage. Best used during a necro burst and while Trasformazione Oscura is active

Save Contagio to reapply your diseases once your weapon/trinket procs e.g: Runa del Crociato Caduto and Fregio della Vittoria del Gladiatore Orgoglioso

I removed the patch # from your title as it isn't necessary since we already publish that information in the guide listings. Thank you for your submission!

Lots of broken spell links. Are we sure gemming *all* strength is still the best idea?

Finisher, thanks so much for this quick and short guide. Really gave me a better understanding of a basic rotation on a Unholy DK.
