I'm thinking the death knight (DK) class will have a lot of paladin style opposites - well, so much for a buff for retribution paladins. I suppose auras that dmg, debuff, and taunt mobs; some medium to long CD spells, and plate with shield.

ecce>> been looking over on ign on their info on death nights and sounds like shields are out for deathnights. little blurb about arthas calling you a wimp if you use one. but apparently they are planning on using runeblades. you will supposidly etch runes on your weapons to buff them and different runs wil create differt effects. from what i was reading sounds like it will be trial and error for effects and sorta reminds me of the Spellcraft scenerios for WC3

Thanks GSC, I just saw the DK demo - so melee dps with edged weapons appears to be a large component of the class and may be an entire tree. Do people think it will be like enhancement shaman or combat rogue or ...?

No new races - no new starter areas. I suppose this saves a lot of development time, but at what cost? One of the big benefits of new races is that experienced players re-roll and mix with the new players who decided to buy into the franchise with the new expansion. However, I assume Blizzard has done their homework - perhaps they feel that expansions don't draw new players?? At least in established geo regions? Anyway, I'd like at least one new race.

I really really think 2 years is the best time to release an X-pac... give people time to really explore the content, especially end-game, then open up new areas. With all the conent they release via patches, it seems such a waste to go so fast...

it almost feels like northrend is a continuation addon and not really an expansion. i mean you can even see in the other panels where the said the orginal design for WoW called for outland and northrend in the initial game. and while BC gave us new races and such Wrath seems just a buff. then again from a standpoint you could say each year rolling a lowbie and taking the time to take it all the way to the new cap takes a lot of energy. by having new 'hero' classes it basically lets those at end game start a new class without having to start at the very begining.

sorta reminds me of people the play pen and paper D&D and tend to start thier groups at least at lvl 3 if not higher to bypass the inital drudgery of lowpower and basically learning the game.

hopefully this won't turn into a pattern of one year a huge expansion from the class and race standpoint then then next year nothing and its a lot of zone and item adds.

though the one thing really scaring me about the expansion is that new hairstyles and dances is one of the major bullets in its selling.

i heard... along the grapevine... that DK's wont be allowed the use of a shield and instead tank wit a 2h or duel wielding
