Knight*

Am I strange in that I have no strong interest in the Death Knight class? I'm more interested in seeing what the new Level 80 talent tree will look like for my main.

I am guessing here but the Death Knight starting at level 55 is because you will be around Strat and the EPL area is level 55-60ish. It would make sense 'lore'wise' that you start at that level because of the area.

@2 Nope. While everyone else is playing their Deathknight I'll be the only warrior left on the realm, I guess.

Ever since I remember hearing about the rumor of Hero Classes way, way, way back when I've been a bit excited about them. DK's aren't my only reason for getting Lich King but they are a pretty big part of it.

I'll most likely wait until the onslaught of Gnome Deathknights ends before I start one of my own.

I'll be right there with you, schmoo. I'm much more interested in the next 10 points than I am starting a new character (though I will roll a Death Knight and I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't).

The change that kill WoW is TBC. LOL

I am not really interested in the Death Knight. I'd rather see some more Hero Classes released with the next expac.

Actually, I am not really looking forward to WotLK. I dunno, nothing jumps out at me. Its more of the same in different location. Sure I'll pick it up and play, only cause I am addict like that. But there is hardly any excitement on my part with what I've seen so far.

Gnome Death Knights - even more hilarious than Gnome Warriors!

I'd like to start a little lower for DKs, just because Blizz could take this opportunity to make a whole new level 50-60 area, and let the death knights be the first to see it (be themed with their sort of style). Maybe two or three areas even.

I guess it would also be cool to have a level 55-65 area... I was thinking in vanilla terms :]

Blizzard hasn't thought any of this through, they just created something they thought was cool, made a big show and release, and now they're discovering that it won't be as easy as they thought. Yikes!

I look forward to the DK class as I already play all nine of the current classes. For whiners who think they are better game designers than Blizzard, little will be to their satisfaction. Those hooked on a single class will be indifferent. There will always be amongst us the arrogant and narrow minded.

There are more than enough 50-60 areas. There's Un'Goro, Western and Eastern Plaguelands, Silithus, Winterspring, Felwood. And at 58 you're in Hellfire anyway, so that's 6 existing zones to cover 8 levels.

Yeah, i think the idea is that when you unlock the slot, it's an "existing" death knight IN stratholme that's questioning their loyalty to Arthas. Since the mobs in Strath are 55-60, makes sense that you'll start at 55ish. (and presumably have some sort of small questing zone that's new too...)

I am not particularly interested in the Death Knights either. I am very excited for the Old Stratholme CoT instance.

Now, if we were talking Archmage hero class, then I'd be as giddy as a schoolgirl.

I doubt I will get the expansion at all. The death knights don't interest me. The whole expansion seems very raid focused - which doesn't interest me.

/shrug.

I have been waiting for DK since WoW started.

Being a Dark Knight in FF before converting to WoW, I cant wait. I was kinda disappointed in the tanking/DPS aspect of the DK but Blizz knows what they are doing.

I agree with most here that DK should definitely start at around lvl 55. This around where you get introduced to famous DK in the game. This will also give people a few lvls to get used to their DK. Blizz can easily create an area in WP and EP that fits a start point.

I'm interested in the possibility of introducing ALL Hero classes into the game at 55, and high enough for the last zones in the original lands.

Assuming the Death Knight will being in the Plaguelands, I would assume Demon Hunters to begin in Blasted Lands, Blademasters in Silithus, and Archmages in Winterspring.

I worry there won't be a healer Hero implemented, unless they introduce something like Keeper of the Grove or Priestess of the Moon.

I assume they're going for 55ish because that's the level of the Plaguelands zones, where I expect much of the early deathknight lore to unfold.
