its nice to see a new class coming out^^ but OMG your not gunna b able to turn a corner without seeing a bloody death knight......

hmmm i agree with you there everyone is gonna change to a DK and its going to be a bit silly... >.<

who knows, it could turn out that the DK is being so built up so much by people that it will turn out to be a disapointment, and mayb not alot of people will chose to use him. Although i do agree with you, becuase once this expansion comes out, if its true that you have to be 80 to do the quest, people are going to be hittin 80 around the same time which means EVERYONE will make a DK at the same time to try them out.

and now u can be really smart and level up the class that u think will be the DKs anticlass:D so when everybody is a DK u will kick thei asses:)

now why would you even say that? that was my idea... lol

You'll see an initial surge of DK usage, and then people will go back to dicking around on their priest/hunter/lock.

Although from what I've read DK really fits my play style of face smashing goodness so I'll likely stick them out.

as of right now no one really knows what lvl you will have to be to become a DK when the new expansion comes out, for the most part alot of people are saying that you will need to be lvl 80, but i have a feel it will just be somewhere between 70-80

thats not true... i thought that at first, but now i relized that, that was what i thought when they were comming out w/ Draenei and Blood Elves, right?

I mean not EVERYONE plays Blood Elves and Draenei's.... i think that ppl will balance it out... but in the beggining, there prolly will be lots lol ^.-

also, dont forget, rookies will start w/ WoW the original, then they still have to get BC, and besides, WoW is making a requirement in order for pep's to get a death knight i think, so it wont be over run...it all depends on what people want to play as

i think its just gonna be u have to buy the exspansion to get the lich king that would be awsome

i have to agree with that statement wow is all about
fads i have been playin now for over 2 years and i have seen most of the fads come and go happens every exp
to be honest with u i wood just like to stick with the original classes or if they made a dual class ala ff11

grimiss lvl 68 rogue
kamahll lvl 70 warrior
airee peak :]

first of all pally and shamans are NOT hero classes noob
second of all dey said u will have to UNLOCK DK class

yeah its true the whole world of warcraft would be a bunch of DKs running around everyone would all look the same nearly and if there are to many they would prob change it form World of warcrsft to World of Death Knights lol

Yeah, I think that when they make DKs I'll stick with em. Face smashing evil non mana dependent caster/melee dps that wears plate? Sure, the DPS is likely to be inferior to that of a rogue or whatever, and the defense will likely be a lot less than a tanking warrior, but throw in magic and I don't give half a shit anymore.

Uh, are u saying those will be the only ppl that will hit 80 fast? And whos to say u cant buy the service too? IMO, all the work ppl are doing in the 25 mans in MH n BT will be the difference maker. Just like TBC, ppl in T3 easily pwned thru the early n mid 60's faster than any green, blue, or lower epic ppl. This too will be similiar where s4 geared ppl, t6 geared ppl, will have a chance to make this 70-80 grind faster and easier.

Above post was directed to Pacosita

Also, there may be a surge in DK creations... but you have to realize that everyone and their moms will be lvling their 'mains' to get to that 80 mark to begin that quest. With as much world pvp we saw when TBC came out, as well as competition with drop rates and mobs, this will be even more tougher IMO.

And for those that make it and unlock this potenial beast of a class, every 100 thats created, 90 will fail... maybe even more. With so many nubs out there now that cant even play their current class, I cant wait to see how many nubs will get pwned by playing a class never played. Sure it will be fun to play a new class, i know im saving a slot for one... but if u think rogues are gay for ganking now at 70, wait till they hit 80. We'll see how many DK's will last =P

It not gonna be run over, relax, blizz said that to make a death knight, you will probably *have to have a char already over an undetermined level, most likely over 70* So no, WoW wont be run over, just like the guy above me said ^^

Wow, has no one else read the stuff online?

From what i've seen scanning every website i can about DK's, u dont need to b lvl 70-80 to unlock.

I think blizzard understands that not everyone hits that high or has the time.  From what i have read, aporximately lvl 50-55 will be required to make a deathknight, the quest should be difficult but by enlisting aid from lvl 70 friends it should be fine

Once again, not everyone has time to hit lvl 55, so not too many DK's will pop up, and ther are a lot of lvl 50 noobs.  Trust me, when ppl play the DK for the first time, at least half will have no idea how to use him and will be demolished.  That should be enough to discourage them and make them return to their other characters with their tails between their legs.


I agree with the dranei and blood elf comparison, and unlike for the DK, there was no lvl requirement for blood elf and dranei.
Furthermore, if u need BC expansion as well as the wrath of the lich king, then even fewer people will have access to the Death KNights

i wonder if they will have new mounts, and wat the would look like? will they have thea own city too?

Hellfire Peninsula: Ramparts, need healer, then all set.

Healer reaches ramparts.....

Deathknight tank, Deathknight off-tank, Deathknight DPS x2


Or this

Hellfire Peninsula: Need tank and healer for ramparts...

Turns out that they already have 3 deathknights there. Lol

(Deathknights can tank)

SO let me get this straight becuase i have a 70 warrior if i want to have DK ihave to exchange it for my warrior

they need to make a 100% mageish one, i bite at useing melee type fighting chars, sept my alt pally.

YA PALLIES FTW

DUH YOU RETARD

WE ALL KNOW THIS

it will be good for WoW that everyone will be DKs.  There is a huge shortage of tanks, and The many DKs will get rid of the shortage.

No. DK will be a new character, made at higher level. You will still keep all your old chars, unless you have 10 already, which is the maximum on 1 server.

Maybe in your guild, but ours has a shortage of healers, and the 1 thing DK are not going 2 be is healers.

Lets not forget that Blizzad demands balance in order to run any Instance worth playing. Thus An army of DK would not be balance...

My guess is like everything else you will be given 3 trees of witch to grow your power,

DK-tank, DK-DPS/magic?, DK-random necromancer skills ;p

Each tree will provide a Endgammer DK the tools for a type of fighting style.

Thus-

If you think you going to create the ultimate Balance of the talent tree using all of your talent points to create an all in one Immortal badass DK you are forgetting that there is no

(Fury-Tanks)  or (Healer-Shadow casters)

So choosing your build might pull basic talents from all of the trees. but I am guessing you will just have to choose 1 and go with it,

It has been said they will "not be as good" of Dps as lock or as good a tank as Warrior/Pally.
So why would good players abandon the kick ass toons they use now to go for a lesser DK class?

You will not see this you will see Endgammers rushing to get to 80 and then trying like hell to complete new instances and gain new Epics or "New types" of gear  and enjoying that.. Once you have done all of that sure maybe alot of people will give it a try? or if you have no reason to play your current build aka bored with class then maybe? but that is still not overrun... ;)

You Guys At least the people making DKs wont be complete noobs considering you get to make one at 55

Unlocking and Creating the Death Knight
Simply have a character of at least level 55 on the World of Warcraft account you play, and you will be able to create a new level-55 death knight of any race (if on a PvP realm, the death knight must be the same faction as your existing character). Upon entering the world, your neophyte death knight will undertake a series of quests designed to teach you your new abilities. You will be able to create one death knight per realm, per account.


i copy pasted that from worldofwarcraft.com so thats the actual one

Wow. As we know it. Is. Gonna. Be. Over. Run. By. Deathknights. RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! XD

Very true... everyone will be a death knight. Including me :P. I really hope Blizzard doesn't mess up and make them overpowered or anyhing. I think they are working their butts to to try to make them average. Death knights will be awesome though. Unholy talents will seem theb est for me... I love to cast and summon! :P Looks like the world will be overun with death knights. I also wonder if Arthas will be harder than Illidan. If Illidan failed to kill the lich king before maybe Arthas (And Ner'zhul, fused with Arthas in one spirit) will be better than Illidan. :D

i am a tauren druild and som peepel say tht tauren cant be death knites :'(

I could be completely wrong on this.  But from what I have read on the world of warcraft website... you have to have at least one character that is lvl 55 or higher to make a DK.  When you make a DK, it is not the character you already have that "becomes" a DK.  You are in fact Creating a NEW character that Starts at lvl 55 for the DK class.

Has anyone else taken the wow site description to mean this as well?

um, yeah, WoW already is saying that in order to get a DK, all you need is a lvl 55 toon....i dunno anymore than that but there isn't any quest at 80 i believe >.<

yep, from what i understand, no actual 'quest' will b needed

Having already done class changes and having a few HEROs....yes over powered toons are a bit lame and yes the first one to it will get a big hard on and some may even fall to their feet.

But since this is nothing new its like OMG  another game making super duper uber classes and thats all you will see.

  owell

Stargate Worlds cant come soon enough lol

DOC

Blizzard still isn't done making the talent trees for pallies so i hope they make ret amazing for raiding aswell.

I bet they will make Death knight's OP at first

They'll be overrun for about 2 months, than they'll go back to getting facepwnd by hunters, warlocks, and whatnot. They'll go back to their mains, and only the people who ACTUALLY want to do 25 levels of high end leveling will stick with em.

DEATH KNIGHT ARE NEW CLASS - NOBODY WILL KNOW HOW TO PLAY ONE FROM DAY ONE, COUSE NOBODY EVER PLAYED A DEATH KNIGHT (except in warcraft 3 which doesnt count couse WoW is a different type of game).

WE WIL LALL HAVE TO LEARN TO PLAY A DEATH KNIGHT (if we choose to play one).

To start a DK you have to have a lvl 55+ character on a realm. You can only have 1 DK per realm per account.

and those of us with multiple accounts get more lol

How will you tell if Deathknights are OP no other class will be there to contest them. Wat, are you gonna go to blizz cuz your DK keeps gittin killed by other DKs. Imagine how dumb you would sound, "OMG, deathknights r soo OP!! All they do is spam >insert ridiculous spell here<. Blizz totally f***ed me over my Deathknight. /cry" ok so then 5 million noobs do that same bit so blizz nerfs DKs. The dumbass noobs then say, " OMGWTFBS!!! Blizz just nerfed DKs now mine does half damage! Grr... I'll never beat those dam OP, nerfed DKs. /PMS."

To get a Deathnight: "Simply have a character of at least level 55 on the World of Warcraft account you play, and you will be able to create a new level-55 death knight of any race."

It´s like this, some ppl understand that WoW won´t be overrun for too long since DK:s cant heal, tried to do a instance with 5man dps/tanks?
