I haven’t been able to log much recently, as I was preparing for a trip to the US(work related). However, I have gotten tired of groups not checking to see if their healer(me) is behind them before pulling the next group of mobs, which usually results in me not fully utilising the refreshing drink i’m currently consuming and having to reach the inappropriately geared and overconfident tank before he’s pummelled to his doom by a horde of trash mobs.
So i’ve rolled a deathknight, and am actually finding the deathknight class mechanics interesting to play with. Instead of having a single limited resource that cannot be effectively regenerated unless you’ve specced deep into the prot tree, you have what typically amounts to a Settlers of Catan 2 level resource system, your runes are the resource cards of the Death, which are spent in different combinations to generate runic power (Victory points in Settlers of Catan)
From what I have read, the deathknight is supposedly able to tank or dps in all 3 talent trees, with tanking talents spread across all 3 talent trees. It is quite a change from the paladin talents, with Holy= healing tree, Prot=tanking tree, and Retribution=DPS tree.
So would the deathknight be my new main? I’m not sure, but as long as i’m having fun with it playing solo or in groups (Tanking in hellfire ramparts is quite fun) I’ll be playing as Zaevi the DK.
