I keep rolling DKs and enjoying them and then … just … never … playing them. I don’t know why, I think I’ve never found the right imaginative hook. I know I’m not a roleplayer or whatever but I do like to know who these characters are. I currently have a jawless undead DK… except mainly what I feel for him is immense pity.

I mean … he was killed by the LK and enslaved. And then he broke free. And then he was killed by the LK and enslaved AGAIN.

How is that for shitty luck.

Sorry, I’m rambling.

I did get quite addicted to my Death Knight tank, as you well know Spinks, me wanting to tank EVERYTHING. Found the class so much more fun than my druid back in TBC, with the Army, blood on the ground affects etc. etc.

Gah, this is making me want to come back to WoW now.

This is a really good point, and since I haven’t really been following the beta, I’m not really in a position to comment.

What we do know is that while DKs and warriors play very differently at the moment, they might really be much closer together in Cataclysm. I don’t think that’s a good thing for DKs (if warrior dps gets closer in feel to DK dps then that’s probably good for warriors though, since I think the DK mechanics are more fun) and … yeah …. really not that sure where they are going with the class.

Death Knights really were a great success. I think they are such a fun class, and my DK is my main.

I’m worried about Cata because I also love warriors (my main through TBC was a gnome warrior) and DKs aren’t looking very good in beta, while the changes to warriors look GREAT.

The worst is that they took away our innate self healing and nerfed death strike into the ground for non-tanks, meaning that we have almost no self-healing at all to reduce downtime unless we solo in tank spec (gimped damage).

Meanwhile, Warriors got a giant buff to a talent that passively heals them when they take damage and is available to every spec, plus Bloodthirst, plus Enraged Regen being better (especially with Fury mastery). Plus, Arms gets a nice meaty stun.

I left my warrior largely because of the lack of defensive and self-healing options without a shield equipped. Now it seems like the two classes have switched positions in that respect, and I feel kind of swindled.

Hopefully my fears will turn out to be unfounded once the PTR finally finishes downloadiing.

Yes, I think it is time to celebrate the good things in the game! I can think of loads more lists by the way: top 5 things to do in Zul’Drak, top 5 ways to die in Wintergrasp, top 5 uses for Spell Reflect in Wrath … etc etc

I’m glad if the postive vibes can spread on the webs. I’ll think of if there are other things from Wrath that I really loved and that deserve a post of their own.
It’s about time we smell the roses!
