WOW Insider

Abilities (continued)

There are also a few other spells that we've seen on Death Knights in previous Warcraft games that might be good candidates for inclusion in WoW's DK. The first of these, Death and Decay (pictured), is an AoE DoT, similar to Mages' Blizzard. According to lore sources, Death and Decay is a cloud causing rot and disintegration, as the name suggests. In the WoW RPG, Death and Decay heals Undead instead of harming them, which could make for interesting interactions with a DK's summoned undead minions. This aspect of the spell would probably not apply to Undead player characters, as they are considered of humanoid (not undead) type as far as spell effects are concerned.
