Are frost death knights good?

Frost Death Knights (DKs) are currently considered strong and fun, especially after recent reworks, offering good damage in both PvE (Mythic+) and PvP, with solid survivability and a satisfying playstyle, though some find them clunky or less powerful than other specs without optimized builds, notes Reddit users{2, 3, 6, 8, 9}. They excel with specific builds like the Rider of the Apocalypse hero talent for dungeons and raids, and while they can feel slow, their strong defensive tools like Anti-Magic Shell and Wraith Walk make them durable, say YouTube videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYIPg0v0Lx4,, users on forums and Reddit{1, 3, 7}.

Is Frost or Unholy Death Knight better?

Choose Frost for simpler, bursty gameplay with strong cleave (best for 2-5 targets) and quick damage/healing, ideal for casual play or alts; pick Unholy for complex, pet/disease-heavy rotations, massive uncapped AoE, strong execute, and ramp-up damage, better for dedicated players pushing high-end PvE or PvP. Frost offers direct damage and quick impact, while Unholy relies on managing minions, diseases, and cooldowns for sustained power.
