Pestilence is a death knight ability that allows the Death Knight to spread their 
[Frost Fever] and 
[Blood Plague] from one target to other nearby targets within 10 yards. The minor 
[Glyph of Pestilence] can increase the range of spreading diseases by 5 yards. It costs 1 Blood Rune to cast.

Notes[]
- Unholy Death Knights with
[Ebon Plaguebringer] will gain additional benefit from this ability.
Patch changes[]
- Patch 6.0.2 (2014-10-14): Removed. Effects have been merged into [Blood Boil].
- Hotfix (2013-10-03): Death and Decay, Howling Blast, and Pestilence should no longer incorrectly grant a radius bonus when cast while the Death Knight is moving.
- Patch 5.0.4 (2012-08-28): No longer causes spread diseases to deal additional damage.
- Hotfix (2009-04-15): Death knights casting [Reaping] will no longer cause Pestilence to convert 2 Blood Runes into Death Runes.
- Patch 3.1.0 (2009-04-14): Does no damage and has only one rank. This ability will now spread disease centered on a position between the death knight and its target, rather than the target’s center position (for very large creatures, this used to cause no disease spread at all).
- Patch 3.0.8 (2009-01-20): No longer has a 10 seconds cooldown.
- Patch 3.0.2 (2008-10-14): Added.
