  • Blood of the North
  • Level 55 Frost death knight ability
  • Passive
  • Permanently transforms your Blood Runes into Death Runes. Death Runes count as a Blood, Frost, or Unholy Rune.

Blood of the North is a Death knight talent acquired by specializing in the Frost Tree. It permanently converts both Blood Runes into Death Runes, effectively removing Spell deathknight deathstrike [Blood Strike] from a Frost Death Knight's rotation and allowing more powerful strikes to be used instead.

Patches and hotfixes

  • Legion Patch 7.0.3 (2016-07-19): Removed.
  • Warlords of Draenor Hotfix (2015-07-10): Fixed an issue with Blood of the North that could cause Death Runes to incorrectly revert back into Blood Runes.
  • Cataclysm Patch 4.1.0 (2011-04-26): Now permanently converts both Blood Runes into Death Runes. There is no longer any proc interaction with Spell deathknight deathstrike [Blood Strike] required to activate Death Runes.

  • Wrath-Logo-Small Patch 3.2.0 (2009-08-04): Reduced to a 3-point talent. Increases Blood Strike and Frost Strike damage by 5/10/15%. There is now a 30/60/100% chance whenever you hit with Blood Strike or Pestilence that the Blood Rune will become a Death Rune when it activates.
  • Wrath-Logo-Small Patch 3.1.0 (2009-04-14): Now also increases damage dealt by Frost Strike by 15%.
