WoW: changes for wrath of the lich king

It's a dead horse, exactly like the Undead mount....Hmm....Think they'll get a class mount?


Actually, and this is just me, I think the Death Knight should be Horde only. BUT. The Alliance should get a Demon Hunter-esque unit. Rogue, Hunter, and Mage combined (Total DPS). It'll bring back the 'Hmm, should I go Horde or Alliance' question that the Burning Crusade killed by making faction unique classes...Well, cross faction (Don't get me wrong, I enjoy having a Blood Knight or a Draenei Shaman on a raid, it just makes them more the same).

I'm extremely interested in the Inscription system, and what it does for DoT spells. I'd love to buff up Unstable Affliction to where it deals instant AND DoT. Also, is it just Mana? Or can you inscribe Sinister Strike....Or Execute?

Destructible buildings....That just sounds fun. I can't wait to see the new battleground that involves this.

Anyone think there's gonna be new races? There's been rumormongering, but that's it.

Oh, and Zen....I'm 99% sure it'll cost the same as The Burning Crusade did.
Welcome to the forums by the way.

 

Why would Death Knight be Horde - only? Even their champion is Ally gone bad, imo it would make more sense if it was race-restricted (for example Tauren and NElf can't be Death Knights), but that's just me.
Well, it's kinda late for that anyway since we've seen human DK already.

 

this new expansion will not feature new races

i reckon there shud be restrictions on the death knight
it shud def be race restricted
for example no NE or tauren death knights lol
in warcraft 2 it has a death knight unit but they are on the orc side
and i think they were undead units too

 

Horde=The bad dudes (Technically). They're much more likely to become Death Knights. The Ally have Paladins, warriors of light. So, the Horde gets Death Knights, barbarians of death.

 

exactly fenix
the DK stands for evil and death
ther shud prob be a new unit for alliance to make it fair tho
some kind of demon hunter esque class

 

Erm.....Right then.....

 

i see
Well, we cannot agree 'cause imo Horde are not evil (or 'bad dudes')

 

Oh, I know. But they're much more deprived.

 

The real question is what will be the counter-weight for the Deathknight Hero Class for the original clases. Seems as though we will be seeing countless Deathknights running around..

 

Erm.....About fifteen quests that are red difficulty at level 80 should be enough to deter that.



Not for a private server though!! I'm an imba rogue or an imba warrior

 

more deprived? than Humans? well, dead humans maybe, but they're in Horde only because they had to be somewhere. Orcs only problem is their bloodlust, which Thrall manages quite well to keep in touch. Sure, there was Shadow Council, Blackrock etc. but they're not part of current Horde. Just like there are human thieves bands, syndicate, dark dwarves etc

btw. my old Hunter would pwn both your rogue and warrior without breaking a sweat

 

Eh....I dunno. Orcs, even when untainted like those in Nagrand, are still barbaric. Not saying their underdeveloped, it's literally their culture. The bloodlust isn't something created by the demon taint, that only accentuated it. Plus you got trolls (They gave up cannibalism, but still), the devious undead, and the quite literally insane blood elves. The Tauren are pretty much shining examples though.


And I'm sure you would cause I blow at duels. However, I'm quite positive I could outDPS you in the bat of an eyelash.

 

the horde are bad guys turned good

 

Yeah....People seem to miss the 'Technically' bit

 

*cough* I don't consider undead and blood elves part of the Horde. They are there because they HAD to be in some faction for WoW, if not for WoW I doubt they would be. I think it was for Night Elves but they literally said that they joind Alliance because they 'needed allies after the events of FT' and it's pretty much the same case for other faction-forced races.

No you wouldn't. Not with that feign trick I had in mind when I said he'd pwn your toons
You know how stats behave when you die in WoW ? You loose all bonuses from eq/race and regain them when you are revived. There was a time on a server I played where feign death (hunter skill) would actually kill you instead of feigning, but didn't take bonuses. And you still regained them upon revival - yes, they doubled ^_^ If I took enough time at graveyard I pwnd anything, my best was taking down half of Thaddius' hp before he got close (not sure about name, but he had 6.5 mil hp)
But in normal pvp I guess I suck too - didn't have much practice

 

Undead are totally Horde!! Didn't you ever play WarCraft I and II? There were Necromancers, Death Knights, all that jazz. BE's.....Meh. They're the archers in I and II and the healers in III, but cut off from Arcane, well, that makes a dude kinda a desperate. I mean, Illidan tried summoning the Destroyer of All when he was cut off.

Pff. Obviously it would a be a fair fight. I mean seriously.

 

Next time you're gonna accuse me of not playing starcraft lol
As you said, there were undead in Horde. The one led by Gul'dan, Ner'Zhul, Shadow Council and demons. Hell, there was even Deathwing with them for some time.
The Horde under Thrall doesn't have those.

 

Still Warlocks in the Horde mate. Can't get too much lower than summoning demon servants (Read: Slaves). Yeah, Thralls gone a long way returning them to Shamanism, but old habits, ya know?

 

Warlocks are as much part of current Horde as undead are - needed as playable class.
Wish they made WC4 instead of ruining storyline with WoW -.-
