Master World of Warcraft

Roles: Tanking, Damage and Buffs.

Notes for WotLK Expansion (obviously)

The Death Knight – The First hero class of the World of Warcraft.  So what is this hero class exactly?  Well the great news is that you do not have to start all the way back at level #1.  If you have another character at level 55 then you can start a Death Knight at level 55.

In essence the Death Knight is a hybrid warrior / mage offering all the benefits of a plate wearing tank with the excitement of calling down dark magic to inflict more pain and suffering on your foes.  Along with the “you must already have a character at level 55″ catch with the Death Knight, note that you also have to create the Death Knight on the SAME server as that character.

So, starting gear. If you are going to start at level 55 Blizzard thankfully do not have you starting out empty handed.   You get a nice 12 slot bag on top of your standard 16 backpack, some pretty decent starting gear in general but zero talent points.  But once you reach level 58 by completing quests in the area you’ll gain plenty (49) points to use how you see fit, PLUS a nice ‘ol riding mount, some nice blueish gear and enough XP to take the fight outside the starting area.

WoW Death Knight Class Overview

The Death Knight is a very unique class in WoW, that goes without saying, even though I just said it, anyway, don’t forget the main role of the Death Knight is still a tank, there is a reason it has plate armour, so don’t get confused with all the dark magic.  The best suited talent tree for Death Knight as a tank is the Frost-specced DK, whereas the Blood and Unholy talent specifications while offering good DPS, also have buff and secondary abilities for groups, which make these two talent specs good off-tank specs.

Strengths:

• Can wear all armor types and wield most weapons
• Mixes melee attacks with Frost and Shadow ranged spells
• Rune system means virtually unlimited energy
• Blood abilities provide self healing
• Can return at will to the Ebon Hold
• Free mounts and weapon enchants available only to death knights
• A hero class: begins at level 55

Weaknesses:

• Can’t use shields or ranged weapons
• More dependent on abilities than passive defense for survivability
• Dependent on rune cooldowns and runic power generation

Allowed races: All

Equipment: Cloth, Leather, Mail, Plate Mail

Weapons: Axes, Polearms, Swords, Two-Handed Axes, Two-Handed Swords, One-handed Maces, Two-Handed Maces
