Lets start off with some of the basics, Death Knights have three main talent trees Frost - Mainly used for tanking- Blood - Mainly used for DPS, think of it like a ret paladin just with a cooler name- and Unholy, which specialize in AoE and summons and good ol' DoT's.  Almost like a necromancer that has a two-handed sword. 

Another important topic to cover is weapon proficiencies.  It has been confirmed that Death Knights can use Two-handed swords, two-handed maces, one-handed swords, one-handed maces, polearms and one/two-handed axes.  There is some speculation based on weither or not Death Knights will be able to duel weild.  Early in the Frost talent tree Death Knights get an ability called Nerves of Cold Steel which increases there offhand weapon damage by 5% each point going up to 15%, this makes it quite clear that Death Knights will have the ability to Duel Weild, and sticking it in the frost tree makes it seems that Death Knights will almost certainly Duel Weild to tank.  

The next topic is armor, plainly stated by the devs Death Knights will use Warrior like armor stacking high in hit rating and ap.  Due to the fact that DK's dont need Spirit or Int because they dont use Mana makes it easy to stack purely on Ap/hit.

Start of something new.

Recently it has come to my attention that i don't do much, most of the time i just sit at home listening to techno music and playing World of Warcraft and other random MMORPG's that happen to be installed on my computer. In a month or two i will be upgrading my computer to a computer that can handle WoW a lot more smoothly, and i wanted to take to opprotunity to share with you my experinces and any information i find on the upcoming class "Death Knight". First off i want to do a little shout out to hobbs because i may just be making a Death Knight on his server and mabey we can play together. As he stated in his last video he was looking forward to the time were he will be able to play with some Death Knights and i hope to take him up on that offer.

Let me tell you guys a little bit about myself, i'm a 17 year old High School Senior that enjoys playing various video games while i'm not hanging with my friends. Oddly enough some of my longest time played on Video games is not on games like WoW or other MMO's but on games like "Final Fantasy X" and "Star Ocean 3 Till the End of Time" both two of my favortie games for PS2 recently i have learned that Star Ocean 4 is only coming out on the 360 which saddened me greatly due the fact that i only own a PS3, hopefully this isnt the case. Now about the good stuff, i have been playing WoW for a little over 2 years, i started out from humble beginings on an EU server, which server i started out on has escaped my mind mabey later i will update you guys. My first character was a rogue sadly i couldnt pay for the EU server as i currently reside in USA. When my subscription ran out on my first account i made a new one on the US server and started working my way back up, my second character a mage which i did see through till 60 and i even got some of my t2/3 gear before i started again on my paladin who i stuck with even after TBC came out. My account has been dorment for around 4 months and i have just been playing on my friends accounts for now. When blizzard came out and said that anyone with a level 70 would be able to create a Death Knight on any server made me want to become one of the recognized Death Knights of WotLK, or at least to enlighten my viewers on tips and tricks i find out about the Death Knight class.

If you have any questions or comments feel free to post them up, this is just a little project i hope to pick up and give me something to do as well as to help you with the upcoming Death Knight class. Soon i will have information posted up here about the class.
