More Information About Death Knights Revealed

A wealth of information regarding World of Warcraft’s expansion Wrath of the Lich King was revealed recently. It concerns the Death Knight, the game’s first hero class. Ever since it was announced, there have been a lot of questions regarding its role and abilities. Is it a tank? Can it provide suitable DPS? WoW Insider has the summary:

As expected, Death Knights will be DPS/Tank Hybrids. As previously known, they will not use shields, but will rely on a high parry rating and the proper presence (likely the Frost one from worldofwar.net’s report) to mitigate damage. As DPS, they will not do as much damage as a pure DPS class, but will bring extra flavor and utility to the table in the form of some minor crowd control, ghoul pets, and the use of diseases to deal extra damage and cause debuffs.

The source link has a list of abilities that you can look forward to. Also, role-players will be happy to note that Blizzard is making sure the lore aspect of the introduction is handled well.
