From the Forums: Death Knight PvP gonna be damn hard!

My friend Jayde has let loose with some extremely good feedback on the Death Knight class in WotLK. He’s been playing the class for over 6 months now, and is worried it won’t perform up-to-par when it comes to PvP. Here’s a quote:

Blizzard games have always traditionally been about the “Easy to play, hard to master” mentality. Unfortunately, I don’t think the DK quite falls into the “easy to play” part just yet.

It is a rather complicated class, and the mechanics can get a little clunky sometimes when things don’t quite fall into place. It can be a lot of work for a new DK to not only learn how to manage multiple resources instead of one like they’re probably used to, but to also be required to do their moves in specific orders, so as to get the most bang for their GCD spent.

Is that a good thing? For the sake of keeping things interesting, I suppose. But from a competitive standpoint, I’m not so sure. I’ll give examples of why down below.

The post is quite long, but just full of great information that all Death Knight players (or wanna-be’s) should read. If you want to follow his feedback more closely, he runs a blog as well. Check it out.
