The creative masterminds at Blizzard have released yet another site update regarding the much discussed and yet to be released “Wrath of the Lich King” expansion pack. Aspiring Death Knights, and hardcore WoW fans alike, are given a glimpse into the new gameplay as well as a breakdown of features.

New Hero class highlights include class role detail, which reveals that the Death Knight will be able to both tank and DPS (complete with “disease effects”). They elaborate on the tank mode by stating that the DK will be able to put out “respectable damage” — whatever that means.

Talent tree hierarchy, reveals “Blood” damage, “Frost” tanking, and “Unholy” pvp focused branches which only add to the level of complexity and shear power the new class will seemingly deliver.

In addition to tanking and putting out insane amounts of DPS, the Death Knight will also be able to summon creatures, inflict disease, and much more. Get the full scoop by visiting the official World of Warcraft website.
