The 3 Deathknight were anounced to be
Frost, Unholy, and Blood.
I figured unholy would be shadow.
Frost would be frost.
but i wondered about the blood line.
Did they make a new magic type?
Or is it an already existing one?
and will you be able to gain resistance?
(unlike holy)
Please Reply with anything you know

Well I would think of Blood magic almost Like Affliction With What He said like health drain or affliction damage with alot of damage over time or bleeding effects stuff like that probably nether the less i cant wait

ya i agree with moonpaladin. blood will most likely have bleed effects,probably dots and draining spells

unholy is probably the shadow/ spell casting side of the deathknight and blood is probably melee with bleeding effects and stuff like that.

idk, i've played a necromancer on guild wars and they have a talent tree titled "Blood Magic". if blizz is using the same aspects for blood magic as guild wars i'm going to assume Blood would be more of a healing spec for DKs.

Well i will add: in WC3 DKs are draining life from their own ally to regain their HP. So Blood talent tree would be some kind of Healing and DPS or more like warrior strikes. Maybe the blood talent tree will have some enchant on wepon on hit or bleeding , consuming shadow dmg some kind of warr/lock type of DPS. This are just ideas in my  mind according to WC3 and blizz type of creating classes and their spells. Frost, according to me would be something like cold death or freezing strikes or something like that. It may be some kind of cold shadow spells. Unholy according to me would be anti paladin or the dark side of the paladin. Maybe the DK will have some nice aura like Unholy Aura (AOE dmg) or use shdow spells to heal himslef and dealing alot of direct DMG. I am interested about what kind of source he will use to cast his spells. It may be some kind of unholy energy , shadow power, or just mana.
Well i can asure u that it will be very interesting and the thing that i am curious about is how he will combine with other classes for raid or PvP , which are his weak spots and strong as well.

just go back to the diablo 2 days remember summoning skeletons is in a blood talent tree

I think the guy that said go back to Diablo II is right. Bliz likes to pull stuff from their older games and incorporate it in their newer ones. It's going to be a Necromancer skill of raising pets from dead bodies my guess.

I think that would be tight, if it's true I will def be rolling this class.

Oh my god you're fucking retarded.

How about; Blood=Caster(Aflliction Lock w/DOT)

Unholy=Melee DPS (Hello they are gonna have giant ass rune swords)Maybe double as tanking class

Frost= Caster (lock w/Shadowbolt and fire spells etc.)<-- Who knows, maybe this will be a tanking spec and not a caster spec

another edit: When I say Lock w/shadowbolt and fire spells, I dont mean they will have fire spells (because it is called frost) I just mean that they will have multi second large damage projectile spells

why do u think Blizz has Frozen shadoweave in the game now? heres what i think

frost-much like the mage spec, good for crowd control and basically staying alive

unholy-all out butt kicking spells with health drain and stuff like that, obviously by the name this spec will be like nothing we've ever seen before

blood-im just as confused as evryone else on this one, but i can only think that this will be the tanking/physical damage build for the new class with some beneficial spells to help keep aggro, like pallys

in any case, this new class is gonna be amazing and i cant wait to see what they do with it

heres what i think the talents might looks like

frost: is inspired by the liches this will be their primary spellcasting tree they maybe even got something like lich-form which will transform them into a lich (what a suprised) which will meen they get less armor and less hp but there spells will be god damn as.s kicking and they will be able 2 cast alot of them.

blood: will be a melee treewhich will give them them hp draining abillities and probaly make them able 2 run right into a group of enemeis kill alot of them but also die himself they might get something like dual wield or maybe an abilitie that means when u kill them they´re dealing a hell of alot damage 2 all enemeis nearby.

shadow/unholy: will be a tank and will give them abillities 2 make their aggro fly 2 heaven on 5 sec and abillities 2 save the casters as last way out like spawning a group of undeads in front of the caster or disorienting them so they walk around with no reason simply going in a random direction or even respavn dead party members as undead making them able 2 fight 4 something like 10 seconds.

this is how i going dk talents is going 2 be like if u got other ideas of how its going 2 be plz post them as comments i realy wanna hear others ideas about how its going 2 be

It is a RUMOR that the DK will get a cc.  Now that would probably go in the dps(and/or) caster spec.  OR maybe blizz will let a tank have a CC, prob not that though. This is just a RUMOR though.

DKs will not use mana, energy or rage, they will use runes. They can insert either Frost runes, Unholy runes or Blood runes into their weapon. They can have a maximum of six total runes at the same time. Different spells and abilities will use runepower to cast. The runes will then be put on a cooldown.

For example: You have three Blood runes and three Unholy runes in you weapon. You then cast a spell that requires two Unholy runes and one Blood rune. Those runes will then be put on a cooldown and you will have two Blood runes and one Unholy rune left to use.

How long this cooldown will be is unknown and will probably change with different runes.

EDIT: Some spelling.

Ahhhhh i just watched trailer this is gona be so sick i cant wait and i think the blood line will be like AOE's cuz if u watched the  trailer it shows him hitting like 5 mobs at once and ya holy's prob just like pally holly and frost is like mage crap maby to slow enemies  but this game gets better and better O_o

Blood=Fury?

I would put money in it being a melee spec.

I've heard so far blood will be damage, frost will be control (think frost mage), and unholy will be tanking(?) or possibly the warlock aspects. It sounds strange but i guess it makes sense.

I at least know this: One spec will be damage, one tanking, and one warlock-ish. I know blood is the damage one but i have no freaking clue about the others, the reports change so often...

Two spells were presented at BlizzCon 2007. The first spell for the Death Knight is Army of the Dead. This spell raises allies from the dead to come to the aid of the Death Knight. The other spell was Unholy Embrace (Instant Cast, 5 minute cooldown). This spell embraces the target in a silhouette of darkness for 6 seconds, corrupting any healing spells and effects cast upon or currently affecting the target to cause damage for 50% of their healing potential instead of restoring health. Any damage shields cast upon or currently affecting the target will also be instantly consumed, dealing 50% of their absorption potential in damage. Once afflicted with Unholy Embrace, the target cannot be afflicted with Unholy Embrace again for 1 minute. I hope that this might make your minds think about what theese spells will fit under in talent catagorys.

i think blood majic will be purley melee dps and dots

i would like to think Blood Magic would be melee,  if they already have a possible two primary casting spec's.  would be nice, to have that out for people that prefer the in your face kind of gameplay.

alot of new DK news has been released and their spec roles are now confirmed. blood is physical dmg and is the pve dps spec, frost is the tanking spec and holy is the pvp dps spec, im guessing its spell dmg stuff but they never said anything about it rly.

check out wowwiki.com and mmo-champion.com to see their new stuff, lol you will be amazed. :D

frost is tanking blood is dps and unholy is pvp

Death knights will probably be like paladins with shadow instead of holy plus some frost powers

Death knight's talent tree is based on 1. Blood 2. frost 2.Unholy, Blood is pvp dps, frost is tanking and Unholy is pve dps.
And the Death Knight will be a mix of spell & melee dmg, and ofc, Tanking, a little bit like paladins.(dont think they got any special "taunt" spell, well see.

y i think they will be like a warrior/warlok being affliction and the close combat

Unholy im guessing is going to be the summoning and spells of the deathknight.
Frost Im not too sure


but blood im almost certain is going to be the tanking
Like a blood drinker in ZF they will heal themselves while attacking.

makes sense to me

if i remember correctly DKs cannot duel weild. and i hope Blood Magic or Unholy has a sacrifice ability so you can run into a big crowd. like that one guy said. and just do tons of damage to everyone in like a 500yrd. radius.
would be helpful in WSG or AV. that would be awesome.
or hell, Blizz might even switch it all up and just make totally new talent tree.
not even use Unholy/Blood/Frost. but i dont think they will do that.
and i hope Forst WILL have a Lich form. that would be awesome.

Frost: tanking with alot of high parry abilities
Blood: melee dps abilties but not many dots
Unholy: de-buffs dots and pvp type abilties

Does anyone else read the info that blizzz put up lol, cause I did....

Yeh Blood is d.p.s. frost is tanking and unholy is summoning.
Also their is a thing called a presence that they get from all trees e.g. Blood presence increaes dmg by percentage, frost increases armour or health and unhoyl is something similiar. thts all i kno

blood is pure dmg and unholy is summonings/pvp. think blood will be alot of short auras. go to blizzards homepage and u will read pretty much things about dks.
if u are unholy i will have the spell to "rez" an enemie and controll it. when ur "rezzing" it will allways be an ghoul. if it is an ally u are rezzing they will controll it and use the ghouls spells. ill chooice unholy xD

wrong. unholy is like a rogues sub. pvp through it all.
blood is pve based meele dps

In Warcraft 3 the Frozen Throne death knight's unholy aura increases life regeneration and speed.. and about frost blizzard even said that it would be for tanking on the blood part, I think you're right, though

If you guys would just go to the WoW site and look at the WoTLK stuff they now tell you power sources and what each tree is for... instead of this retard guessing game
