cant decide if i prefer the axe or sword

Orcs > Axe
Everybody Else > Swords
I’m making a Blood Elf Death Knight when the time comes, so I’ll probably rock the 2H Sword

yeh thats what i figured… althought i wanted to make a blood elf too, but am wondering if i should, considering every man and his dog seems to be making one xD

Honestly though for the longest time I was going to make an Orc death knight for the racials since they make a ton of sense. getting bloodfury for attack power/spell damage would work great for the DK. hardiness to fight against stuns since in WotLK everybody and their mother is getting a stun of some kind. But in the end I guess I’ve made a lot of Orcs in my life and leveling them (my shaman exclusively) to the end game. I’d like to try out Blood Elves.
B’sides the wife plays a warlock blood elf so I gotta keep my better half happy

Yeh i see what you mean
Also, i dont suppose it particularly matters whaat other people are rolling anyways. As you probably guessed by my interest, i am definately making death knight my new main… and all the amazing stuff i have seen posted here just affirms this choice for me!

Yeah I was conflicted for a little bit until the new HD footage came out and I’m sold now 100%.
I still love my shaman but it’s not what drives me to play. I love tanking, I love DPSing, I love plate armor and 2H weapons. DK was designed for me.

[...] of gear, the starting quests of Ebon Hold will systematically replace each of your starting green items with a blue item, creating a character that is decked out completely in blue items by the time you start your own [...]

I’m going to be a Blood elf DK or Human DK, and btw how long time does these quests take?

Bloodelf Dk actually look pretty butch and Humans look good as well though maybe not the crazy empty cheek look that some of their new undead skins have.
The entire questing from 55-58 took me like maybe 2-3 hours? Then outland for 3 days to level 68, the rest Northrend.

Blood elfs are hands down the worst DK race
Orc > Undead > Tauren > Troll > BE
And besides who want’s to play a human like homo race on the horde when you can play alliance?

Bro gnome DK’s is where its at xD
Nov 13th, 2008 at 7:10 pm
LOL I don’t want to say I hate gnomes, or gnome death knights but they are really REALLY high on my KOS list
still must be a trip

The gnome DKs look the creepiest though.
