WotLK and Death Knights
Shihli — Fri, 05/09/2008 - 07:26
So I've been reading up on Death Knights ...
When WotLK comes out I might just switch to a Death Knight full-time.
I know it sounds frivolous, possibly even akin to the rampant "I want to be the first Downfall shaman! I WANTS TO RAIDZ!" However, Death Knight sounds like it will play in a fashion similar to the Dark Knight from FFXI (here he goes again). That fashion is as a sturdy two-handed weapon user that also uses a limited amount of spells and has the ability to tank as needed. One could say similar about enhancement shaman (minus the tanking part) and arms warriors (minus the spellcasting part), however Death Knight just seems to wrap it all together into a package that sounds REALLY attractive to me.
I won't make any guarantees at this point, but you might anticipate the "guild's first raiding death knight" to be none other than me, come WotLK.
The best name I've come up with is Deadhli. Like "deadly" but with a twist using my typical online moniker. Get it? How lame.

What the fuck is a Death
chrislow — Mon, 05/12/2008 - 08:31What the fuck is a Death knight??
Will I have a Death
Dragonspear — Sun, 05/11/2008 - 01:40Will I have a Death Knight.....Yes
Will he be level 80 by the time Garreth's is lvl 51 (assuming they start at 50).....probably
Will He be my main.......Doubtful(I got Dragon amirite!?)
Do I think WotLK will be a whole lot better if I could xfer my shaman, hunter and warrior back here.........Most Definitely
I will have a Deathknight because they are another melee class. So far the only melee classes im missing at 70 are rogue (gee mine is 48) and a druid (next pet project?)
As far as the name of Shihli's deathknight. I'm thinkin Deadwrong (goes to reserve it for himself)
~Legendary Nobody
Minor Edit: BTW as far as DK's go I believe they will be like Alliance with Shaman and horde with Paladins with TBC. Everyone will say "zomgs im rollin one when they come out and im gonna be the first one uberness" and everyone was complaining that all players from a given faction were gonna roll the new class. It hasn't turned out that way and although since DKs start at higher level and I expect to see many. I doubt that we will be swimming in DK mains.
I'm gonna keep sneakin and
Barqz — Sat, 05/10/2008 - 05:07I'm gonna keep sneakin and huntin, Garreth a year after release we should quest together and get our DK to a whopping 58, or even 59.
I would like to add, (and this has nothing to do with dk's) I like the idea of each raid having a 10 and 25 person instance, its nice to know that for the people that get RL blocking their hardcore raiding they can still experience all the raid zones on a lesser scale. This is a Completely NONsarcastic GG to Blizzard.

I can totally see this death
Gares of War — Fri, 05/09/2008 - 15:13I can totally see this death knight stuff get ugly in the future lolololol. No matter who wants one :-P
Yeah, this has me a little
garreth — Fri, 05/09/2008 - 15:37Yeah, this has me a little leery of WotLK.
LOL, I like the way you put
garreth — Fri, 05/09/2008 - 14:45LOL, I like the way you put that.
Does remind me: How many of our healers are going to stick around for Wrath? How many will want to raid (yes, we WILL be raiding :P)?
You know me, I'll still be on Garreth. My Deathknight will be a whopping level 57 a year after release...
Which, as an addendum, does
Shihli — Fri, 05/09/2008 - 14:40Which, as an addendum, does not imply that I'll necessarily have a death knight and a "guarantee" at a raid position with one. Same with everyone else.
Ultimately, it's up to
Shihli — Fri, 05/09/2008 - 14:39Ultimately, it's up to everyone which toon they will want to bring to 80 and raid with in WotLK.
Likewise, it's also up to the raid leadership (Garreth, Katibug, Keisjaa, Nuitarin, Epat, myself, etc) on what number of each class will be present at each raid.
In short:
It's your choice to play a toon, it's our choice to bring it :P

Dikymo was right, death
Gares of War — Fri, 05/09/2008 - 13:44Dikymo was right, death knights will be the end of WoW
With 10 Deathknigths, and
Ewiges — Fri, 05/09/2008 - 13:28With 10 Deathknigths, and taunt lasts ~5 seconds. We can have a 50 second rotation allowing for 45 seconds that each deathknight has to heal back to 100%. This assumes taunt lasts for 5 seconds, a deathknight can tank 5 seconds without heals, no taunt gets resisted, and taunt is on a less than 45 second cooldown.
25 imo. They can take
saedo — Fri, 05/09/2008 - 13:2325 imo. They can take turns tanking and heal themselves up in the meantime while the others dps.
Saedo is onto something
Ewiges — Fri, 05/09/2008 - 13:26Saedo is onto something there. We can try it in the ten mans while we wait for the slackers to get to 70.
I can't wait to raid with 24
garreth — Fri, 05/09/2008 - 13:22I can't wait to raid with 24 Death Knights.
I'm gonna keep on Huntering
Grasen — Fri, 05/09/2008 - 15:08I'm gonna keep on Huntering
