Death Knight Gear Progression for Levels 68 to 80 – Boots
Here is a general progression of boots for a DPS Death Knight in Northrend for World of Warcraft.
After you pick up the Chilled Greaves and Spiked Cobalt Boots, your next few options involve Wrathgate and dungeon quests. You may end up higher than level 71 by the time Wrathgate becomes available to you. In that case, you may want to focus on completing Azjol-Nerub and Drak’Tharon Keep. The Enticing Sabatons will carry you from 73 to at least 77, where the The Darkspeaker’s Iron Walkers from Icecrown are almost a side-grade.
The Berserker’s Sabatons at 78 are a nice stopgap if you can find them, but you may just keep what you have until you hit 80. Ultimately, you want to grind out your Knights of the Ebon Blade reputation to Exalted for the Death-Inured Sabatons. However, the crafted Spiked Titansteel Treads are more than adequate as an immediate upgrade when you ding 80.
