Unholy Presence is the Death knight PvP Presence available at level 70. While active, the Death Knight's attack and movement speed is increased. It also decreases the global cooldown and reduces all threat generated by 20%. Note that the damage increase from Blood Presence will generally result in higher damage done than the extra attack speed and cooldown reduction in Unholy Presence, even for Unholy specialized Death Knights.

Improvements Edit

  • Subversion reduces threat generated while in Blood or Unholy Presence by an additional 8/16/25%, bringing the total threat reduction up to a maximum of 45%.
  • Improved Blood Presence causes all attacks to heal for 2/4% of damage dealt while in Frost or Unholy Presence.
  • Improved Frost Presence increases stamina by 4/8% in Blood and Unholy Presence.
  • Improved Unholy Presence reduces rune cooldown by 5/10%.

Tips Edit

  • Unholy Presence can be useful when running long distances on foot, such as when recovering from a wipe in an instance, as it increases the Death Knight's movement speed. For shorter distances, the rune cost of switching to Unholy Presence and then back to Blood or Frost Presence again is generally not worth the brief speed boost.

Background Edit

Unholy Presence is likely derived from the Haste ability used by the Death Knight unit in Warcraft II and the Unholy Aura ability used by the unit in Warcraft III.
