At the end of a busy Saturday I decided to give a go at creating a Death Knight. Ever since I heard about this hero class, I had been tempted by the mix of tanking, dps’ing and facemelting casters in PVP. I can only say that the current implementation – before the most probable incoming nerf – is fulfilling my expectations. For now I have concentrated on the DPS talent tree, Blood, which offers a mix of dps, tanking and passive healing abilities. So far it’s been ideal for going through the Death Knight startup which is fairly easy but for a couple of quests. These series of quests is meant to help you discover your talents, and gear your Death Knight up with in full dungeon blues.
The game play so far is very similar to a Retribution paladin, where you apply a buff/debuff, apply physical damage to the mob and every now and then cast a spell producing instant or over time damage.
Here are a few pictures of the DK starting area, I will add more as I take them in combat or other situations.
- Quest givers are actual scourge raid bosses
- Death Knight gear and blood talents
- Undead mount
- After summoning a Death Gate
