On the subject of Death Knights being overpowere

Death and Decay: It causes AE Damage, of course, but apparently also has a chance to fear affected targets.


On the subject of Death Knights being overpowere. You need to understand two things: First, the presentation on Death Knights given by Tom Chilton and reported on by the gaming media this morning was made about a class that is still very much in the Alpha state. There is a lot of play testing to be done on Death Knights before WoTLK goes live (WOW Gold), and many things could be changed and tweaked before then.


Secondly, We have only thus far seen new talents and skills for the Death Knight class. However, every class will be getting 10 more levels, and new skills and talents to go with them. If Death Knights are getting all these amazing abilities, it stands to reason that other classes will be getting abilities to match.


lt's also understandable that other tank classes are a bit put out by the possibility of Death Knights horning in on their territory. I play a Druid currently, and I already envy Death Knights from what we do know -- and I plan to play one. That said, I wouldn't despair just yet. I do very much think we'll see enough love for all classes that no-one should feel too left out.Keep in mind that even though the death knight is a Hero class, that doesn't mean it is more powerful than the other classes. As we all know, Runeforging is a unique ability that Death Knights get. It allows Death Knight to laugh in the face of Enchanters. It will, however, offer a very different playing experience.
