Talent Build Examples for Blizzard's New Death Knight

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the balance-is-always-a-fun-game dept.

With Blizzard's Wrath of the Lich King NDA out of the way, there has been the inevitable flood of information about the new expansion hitting the streets. One of the most sought-after pieces of information is anything about the new class being introduced, the Death Knight. Massively has a great summary, with video examples, of the three different avenues available to the Death Knight. From the AE strengths of unholy, to the life-stealing blood tree, to the control of the frost tree, it seems that this new juggernaut is certainly going to be a force to be reckoned with.

    Translation: Not to start a flamewar, but let's talk about something off topic, since it's sure to be something that will get under the skin of the types of people who would read this particular article..

    Maybe it's just me, but isn't that the definition of trying to start a flamewar?

    Heath just died, and already you're calling it "The Death Knight"?

    Too soon guys, too soon.

      I seriously think we should have a -1, Whoosh moderation option.

      I agree, but only for the comedic possibilities of using it in other situations. E.g. the post "My experiences working with wind tunnels (Score: 0, Whoosh)" and so forth.

  4. Class balance finally revealed by Wylfing · · Score: 4, Funny

    Now we finally understand Blizzard's strategy of class balance and all this "e-sport" nonsense! You see, they'll introduce a new class that is so vastly superior to all the others that everyone stops playing the other classes.

    Balance issues solved!

    Deathknight needs a nerf.

    Not to start a big flamewar about games, but all these barbarians prancing around with faeries comes off as "pretty ghey".

    Pfft. That's not even true.

    I'll have you know that my barbarian in EQ2 had some delicate earrings and a delicate necklace with a butterfly pendant. And let's just say that the "monk outfit" showed so much skin that you'd think skin cancer was all the rage. If you think being grouped with some Faeries made him look "teh ghey", you haven't seen him ;)

    And then you hit Hellfire Peninsula and spend three or more long, painful levels staring a the Mars like terrain getting squished by random fel reavers. Then you leave and are happy never to return to it.
