Possible fun with Deathknights

[Tdog]

As soon as I get my 5x WotLK CD Keys I'll be rolling 5x Deathknights and movign to the nearest city to /dance on mailboxes like its going out of style! :P

I might actually try boxing them, but as it will be learning a new class AND learning a new multiboxing setup... it might be sensory overload. lol

I'm telling ya, make your followers Taruen and your main DK anything else and you'll save yourself alot of headache with your first melee team.

Teams of 5 pink-haired female gnome death knights are inevitable.

I'm not sure how I feel about that.

I don't play Horde.

I could go Draenei though.

Wouldn't make a difference. Tauren have a 9yd melee range, everything else including male draenei have a 5 yd melee range.

I've been reading up a little on death-knights.

From what I can gather, Warriors will still be MTs most of the time. They seem to be getting an AoE damage ability so should make em more viable for boxing too
Paladins will always be AoE kings methinks just won't go any other way tbh
Druids are likely to remain very high AC and avoidance so great for most bosses (also generally high threat as OT)

Death-knights are as stated high dps(probably high tps for that reason), somewhat self healing, avoidance tanks, and seem likely to have a lot more spell absorption etc talents/abilities and this will set them apart. As a tank, although fully capable of tanking melee bosses and group pve, they will reign supreme vs caster mobs/bosses. Looks like resistance gear won't be an issue for them.. which makes me wonder how they will fair in PvP

oh well ^^ it's mostly still in development

I'm pretty sure that Bliz has stated you only need a lvl 55 character to create a DK.

I just read the WotLK FAQ, and that's correct.

Wow. That's been really dumbed down.

Last time I read anything about it, the plan was that tou need to get to level EIGHTY with at least one character, then embark upon a quest "similar in difficulty to the Warlock epic mount quest", which will then let you create a Death Knight character who starts at level 55.

similar in difficulty to the Warlock epic mount quest

Thought it was the pally epic mount quest. It is a more of a pain.
