[Clyro]

Well they will be overpowered i am pretty sure, to begin with anyway.

i can also see it becoming interesting having an anti caster who wears plate :S

[Anora]

Reasons to roll a DK

Anti caster in plate
Seems to be very active with lots of abilities, utility, and dmg.
Has group buffs
Not a tunnel vision class
Something new to do

Reason not to roll a DK

You start with crappy gear when your main would have full s4 and not get a gear upgrade until s5 started.

The class seems like it is going to be a lot of fun, that reason there is the only one I can think of as to not roll a DK as a new maun

fem nelf DK <3

but only after my rogue and priest got lvl80

[Sciurus]

Played my friend's in alpha. Obliterate crits are absolutely ridiculous (6k+).

They have an insane amount of burst damage. With frost you can control it pretty well too. Degen -> Plague Strike -> Wait for runes -> Deathchill -> Queue Frost Strike -> Obliterate so they hit at the same time and if a freeze procs howling blast. Otherwise you can just Hungering Cold into a Howling Blast.

I remember I got an 8k howling blast at 62 on someone in EPL who tried to gank me :D But I think that was with the max rank.

[Deccard]

I think the DK will be balanced after the beta ends. Maybe slightly weaker as the rest, so not everyone will play the super duper hero class.

[Cantis]

lol FCK deathknights warlocks>deathkinght

[Avicularia]

I'm gonna try it too. But not as main, it takes time to become best in your class and I won't leave my hunter.
Anyway, which race you think is best for DK (from ally)?
I'm thinking about GNOME oh yea with pink hair. Also gnomes have good pvp racial (not sure if needed for DK, too lazy to read his skills and talents xD)

[Shaeden]

Hmmmm... dk, or warlock? Both are so appealing to me! OR SHAMAN! I can start leveling that rogue again, too.

No no, deathknight or warlock are the two options...

[Calibri]

I'm giving up on lock for a DK

[Vander]

played deathknight
never been so bored with any class

[Exiledshmoo]

LOL @ bored at playing a DK

Bored is leveling a paladin
Bored is leveling a combat rogue

DK has so many utility abilities, no real down time, solo elites same level.

Its not like lol paladin where you mash your judgment macro every 8-10 seconds and crusader strike on cd.

Its not like a combat rogue where you press sinister strike 5 times then snd and move to the next mob.

I really have no idea how you can call it boring. Having multiple instant cast utility spell and nukes. You have cds on a lot of these abilities so you need to micro manage it to get the most use out of your runes and power.

You know what's going to be funny? The death knight class is going to turn out exactly like the hunter class. There will be a lot of them, but the class won't be retard friendly.

Everyone will have one as a alt or main, and by the sound of it it does sound like a good class. So it's good it aint too easy. If what your saying is correct.

From what I've played on a DK so far, that's partially right.

You have to micromanage a good deal of stuff in PvP, mainly timing your utility runes with your damage runes. You also don't ever really run out of abilities to use, and run with a short gcd. I'd say it's going to have a much higher skill cap than most live classes...however, that doesn't mean people won't be able to run around battlegrounds spamming huge Obliterate crits or beating people solo and getting unwarranted QQ posts, which hopefully doesn't get the class ruined or dumbed down.

A few of the DK abilities certainly need a bit of reviewing, but it's looking pretty good right now.
