I thought they were saving arthas for the third expansion.

Are you prepared?

I told everyone about this in teamspeak yesterday. I was all excited about that! It looks like they have been working on it for awhile now. I love the video and the showing of the heroic class

Here are some interesting notes from mmo-champion.

Hero Classes
Hero Classes won't be released all at once because of balancing issues. They're classic Warcraft 3 characters with an "epic feel" (something really different than the ordinary)

The hero class will be created on a new character slot once you completed the quest, you won't lose your original character.

Death Knight

* The current plan is to have the class available for all races.
* Designed to fullfill both tanking and DPS roles
* Can tank using 2H weapons or by Dual-Wielding, no need for shields.
* Rather than using rage, energy, or mana, Death Knights have a special "rune sword" displayed beneath their health bar, onto which the player can etch six different runes (choose between Frost, Blood, and Unholy).
* Rune resource system. Three rune schools: Blood runes, frost, and unholy runes. All DK spells and abilities will use these different runes in some combo. DKs carve these runes into their weapon-- done anytime outside of combat.
* Character portrait has six runes in place of the mana bar (and a special circle around the icon, probably for Hero class). These runes are consume as your spells use them-- they deactivate and then reactivate over time, so if you have two frost and four blood runes, you get that much to use as spells and abilities. We have plans for mechanics that allow you to change one resource type on the fly-- like Warlock's Life Tap (Health=mana).


Unholy Embrace
Instant Cast. 5 min cooldown.
Target is embraced by a silhouette of darkness for 6 seconds, corrupting any healing spells and effects cast upon or currently affecting the target to cause damage for 50% of their healing potential instead of restoring health. Any damage shields cast upon or currently affecting the target will also be instantly consumed, dealing 50% of their absorption potential in damage. Once afflicted with Unholy Embrace, the target cannot be afflicted with Unholy Embrace again for 1 minute.

If you check out their site they have a lot of information.

Oh joy! Can imagine the quest is going to be worse than grinding out rep and pvp rewards. But, man, that would be a wicked cool.

Death Knight. Kickass.

You'd basically be turned into Mor'ladim. Haha!

[alacor]

Don't need anymore epix then. lol

[Zancarius]

Hmm... I wonder if they're going to bring in the Pandaran...

From WoWWiki:

"Furbolg may have descended from early pandaren, who settled up in Northrend..."

[Lithium]

It looks cool as all hell, and no complaints here.

But I have a question: Death Knights serve The Scourge, correct?

Funny. I haven't seen them recruiting in Ironforge or Orgrimmar lately.

While I think it's a damn cool addition to the game, they're really warping the lore again. Like with the paladins that crashed into Azeroth from outer space.

But hey. Draenei are fun to play. Guess it doesn't really matter how weird the story gets bent as long as it's fun for those of us who enjoy this game. And it might get me to play Lithium again. We'll see.

[Grimblast]

I wonder what kind of lore they may put to it. They say the Death Knight might have the ability to control undead. They might find some way for that to work into it all. After all, they are evil and there doesn't seem to be some kind of same faction struggle amongst players as to who is good and evil. We will see

I am a Warlock and I approve of this course of action.

Azeroth needs its Roswell, too.

Hey, that was a goddamned weather balloon.

Now, please look into this light, sir.

[Grimblast]

Haha!

[Caryss]

Could make it like the necromancers from Diablo. Raise the recently deceased to fight for a short time. I'd totally make a pally for just that alone.

There is much darkness, I feel.

[Grimblast]

Undead BBQ well.

Pretty damned big weather balloon. And a bunch of freakish, clumsy, oxygen-deprived, horned monkey balloon riders.

[Snobal]

OH YA FREAKISH, CLUMSY, OXYGEN-DEPRIVED, HORNED MONKEY ORGY!!!
Just the way I like it.
