The Death Knight was introduced in the mid November 2008 during the release of the WoTLK. The Death Knights are supposed to be the first Hero Class of WoW. At the surface, the ‘Hero Class’ is unfamiliar to all, since they are yet to be proven to be different than the other classes. The only exception is that you need higher level 55 characters for the creation of a Death Knight. This created Death Knight of 55 level characters uses Runic Power so that he can use his abilities.
Once you create a Death Knight you will enter the game as a level 55 character that is loyal to Arthas the Lich King. You will start fully equipped with green gear and 4, 12 slot bags and 20 silver in Acherus - The Ebon Hold which can be found in the Eastern Plaguelands. As you start questing near The Ebon Hold you will be rewarded talent points and blue item and once you reach level 57 or so you will have the regular amount of talent points for that level and full blue gear.
If I divulge you the quest chain, you would lose the interest and real fun about it. However, I can assure you one thing that the quest chain is cool and rewarding for sure. By doing the quests around The Ebon Hold you can easily reach level 58 within an hour or two. Hence although you are not intended to play a Death Knight, it will be nice if you pick up some cool lore at least. As soon as you hit 58, you will surely go to the Outlands as leveling there will not take your much time. Hence, although you do not plan to play a Death Knight, you will be stuck to play the game as it is a cool class.
A Death Knight is a melee class that possesses most of the melee weapons. One can opt for two one-handed weapons or can equip with one two-handed weapon. He can work as a tank or a melee damage dealer. However, a Death Knight is unable to equip a Shield. Instead they can have a very high parry chance by wearing plate armor.
As mentioned earlier, Death Knight is a melee fighter, since he uses Runic Power for his peculiar abilities. With the use of certain abilities, he can have 6 runes. These runes enable the Death Knight to gain some Runic Power, although they have a cooldown. This Runic Power is useful for other special abilities that cost merely Runic Power without placing a rune on cooldown.
One of the first quests you will come across is called “The Emblazoned Runeblade”. This quest will give you the ability called Runeforging. This ability can be used to forge a rune on the DK’s weapons.
Like any other class, the Death Knight has three talent trees named as Frost, Unholy, and Blood. Each tree is useful in its own way, and it depends on the player as to which talent tree or trees in combination be used.
The advantages of a Death Knight are that he starts at level 55, is very easy to level and can continue fighting for longer periods of time, can both tank and dps, they can have a Ghoul and Gargoyle pet and that they look sort of cool. The disadvantage of playing a Death Knight is that almost everybody has decided to play a Death Knight, which makes it harder to find groups and raids etc.
