BoA and DK

Hello, am going to begin leveling my DK soon. I have the BoA Chest/Shoulders, would it be very helpful to use the BoA Axe as well or no? The stats are very similar compared to the DK starting Axe/Sword, though you can't put any rune enchants on the BoA weapons. Any input would be appreciated, thanks.

If you get the BoA axe you will definately find yourself having easier shoes to fill as you level up. At starting levels it isn't intense but when you make it up to 63ish you will soon find other people start passing you in dps. If your concerned with being awesomely overpowered, get the axe. Otherwise there really isn't anything to be excited about weapon-wise because the only good rune enchant for dps is Fallen Crusader which you can't get until low 70's.
I like being Overpowered though, for leveling I bought a
Blade of Misfortune
and put
Executioner
on it. Armor Pen scales well at that level :)
Yeah I was looking at trying to obtain
Hatebringer
and maybe put 3str gems in it with executioner or mongoose. Which I think would easily last until 70 and I get
Axe of Frozen Death
. Anyways was just looking for some clarification :)

You get RotFC at 70, actually. :D

If you have another alt you're going to level that could use the 2h Axe, get it. Otherwise, the starter weapon will last you well into Outland. Run underbog enough and you could get a 2h mace that's pretty good and has sockets. There's also a sword in mana tombs in addition to plenty of quest items. Bottom line is, the gear you get from the DK starter area can very easily get you to northrend, no problems.
Once you get to northrend there is a very easy progression that can all be gotten through quests. There a 2h axe from the thassarian quest line in Borean Tundra which can last you until you can run the amphitheater of anguish and get another axe which lasts you until you can buy/make a titansteel destroyer or pick up some other high end weapons.

As soon as you finish the starting quests you should be level 58...

He's saying the default weapon will last through Outlands' content until you can get to Borean Tundra for the Axe of Frozen Death, assuming you don't replace the starter weapon beforehand with the mace from Underbog or the like.

There's at least two easily obtainable 2h swords(if you choosed sword as your weapon) in Outland (Terokkar forest and Zangarmarsh), both clearly better than the DK one.
Alternatively, go grind Underbog and pray for mace drop.

if your battle group is high enough that you'll be getting groups for instances in outlands and northrend then you'll be fine without the boa weapon or if you have guildies that can pull you thru. if neither of these are true then a boa weapon will help. as stated above...only fallen crusader is any good. i put crusader enchant on my boa axe. it procs enough to make it worth while

I personally have axe with +25 Agility. But, well, I was more to tank than DPS.
But it gets worse with levels, so now I've put it on hold in favor of
Lionheart Executioneer
. (And no, I don't want to hear your opinions on this item price)

My death knight only replaced his weapon three times while leveling. I stuck with the starter sword until nagrand where you get
Honed Voidaxe
.
Then after that I grabbed the axe of frozen death in Borean Tundra and held onto that until the amphitheater of anguish and that axe lasted me until 80.
Personally, I think just going with the chest and shoulders for the xp bonus is all that is needed. But, like said before, if you plan on leveling anybody else that can use the axe you should get it.
