WotLK Rerolls (Death Knights)

[Joe]

Apparently the latest news is that anyone who has a 55+ character, anywhere, can roll a Death Knight, anywhere. This provides an awesome opportunity for us all to roll Death Knights on a server (probably Maelstrom?) and join together as Guild x86, like we tried (and omg, failed~) to do a while ago. Is anyone else interested in this?

Also, a neat tidbit is that any race can be a Death Knight. Nelf much?

[Krazed]

Death Knight's are bad.

[topaz~]

I personally cannot wait to play a gnome death knight.

Failed?  Xalis, Mythix and I rolled on Maelstrom and played for a LONG time.  I'm actually the only one who plays there still, over two years there and I love it.  Half the people who said they'd roll there made an alt and didn't break lvl20.

Let me get this straight: your idea is for all of us to roll ONE class, on ONE server with a class that EVERYONE starts at 55 with.  Ugh.. right.

[Ender]

yea man wtf...?

youll have people that say screw the death knight, and theyll just progress through new content, and then you'll have the death knight people. then... you'll have the few that will roll a death knight, and be 80 in two weeks.

55-70 only takes a couple days of solid leveling, 70-80 probably won't take much longer than 60-70 (at least according to blizzard I think they said they were trying to keep it about the same)

This is true, it looks with the new expansion they're encouraging you to sink your time into multiple toon as opposed to a single toon. This is obvious from the achievements which are something like "Level two characters to level 80" and the vastness of northrend which ensures that you definitely will not see all of it while questing.

so did anyone decide where we are all rolling DK's?

[topaz~]

It looks like DKs have been hit with the nerfhammer repeatedly, and are not that OP anymore.

A group of people playing death knights might be fun for leveling but you are screwed if you ever want to do an instance or anything at end game.

how do death knights play, anyways? are they like high caster dps?

[Hitmen]

They are mostly melee dps with a few cool spells and minor pets. The rune/runic power system takes some getting used to, but they are definitely a ton of fun to play. I finished the starting area and afterwards ran around for like an hour doing nothing but killing stuff. Death grip is awesome.

They're like paladins, except instead of holy they use shadow and frost.
