Watch this, sense i want to lvl and gear my guys i will get an invite. Wonder if i can sell of ebay lol
Threw up some links to the spells, skills, and talent calculators including paladins and hunters. WoW insider is also exploding with info on a regular basis and would be silly to link it all unless someone can't access the site from work.
Access to the WOTLK BETA forums seems to be a bit tricky. When I tried to provide a link directly to the beta forums it wanted to link to the regular wow forums as they seem to have the same name. I had to link to the DK Class beta forums so people can have access to the Beta forums.

That would be a... yes.WOW it isn't selling for cheap either... now i hope i get 5 of them... maybe i should do it on the wife's account too. That will almost over the cost of boxing for 1 year :love:
Wow they finally gave paladins an AOE heal, Beacon of Light ('http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?spell=53654') . Seems that you can cast in on whoever, probably be great for the tank and the melee.
Protection pallies are getting a sheild slam of sorts, Sheild of Righteousness ('http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?spell=53600').
Retribution paladins are getting a Whirlwind of sorts with a healing twist, Divine Storm ('http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?spell=53385'). They are getting rid of sanctity aura and folding the 2% damage into retribution aura along with upping the damage done but ret aura and making it scale with spell damage. They are also giving SoBlood and SoVengance to both alliance and horde and renaming them, Seal of the Matyr ('http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?spell=53720') and Seal of Corruption ('http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?spell=53736') respectively.
They are doing alot more to pallys but those are the ones that really caught my eye.
Anyone on D-B got a key yet? or have they not started going out yet?

It'd be nice if someone could post a screenie here when they do get a proper one, to help reduce the risk of scams.

Runeforging looks to me like a class specific profession for DKs ala poisons for rogues?

Added in DK death gate animation ('http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=8202380527&sid=2000') , I've watched the vid all seems on the up and up. Death gate looks pretty sweet and so does the runesword on the DK's back :D

That looks hot. Also, I saw a video up on some guy's blog that shows a blood-specced death knight as being pretty decent for play. Rarely loses health and almost always keep up runic energy while keeping up quite a kill pace. I noticed that movement speed is increased deep into the unholy tree and that it stacks with other party member's speed effects. Will it stack with itself? If so, I think I'm 5-boxing unholy deathknights. I don't know if the DKs are supposed to be OP in beta, but the guy in the video took out an equal-level elite character by himself. Sounds like fun.

Maybe it's my cynical side showing, but I can only imagine the whining that's gonna happen when people see a multiboxer running 5x DKs in the starter zone. :P

The starting zone is in EP. So i can see if now, all the lvl 70s are going to camp that area in PvP server. The funny part is a rogue. As soon as you see a guy pop up cheap shot him and kill him... Welcome to being a death knight...lol

According to the beta information, DKs no longer spawn in the plagued lands. They're in the Ebon Hold now for DK training.
