Changes: Hero class

Revision as of 22:15, 17 August 2007

Hero Class is a class derived from the base classes, but with more specialization and somewhat tied to Warcraft lore. The idea of a hero class is presumably taken from the Warcraft III hero units.

At Blizzcon 2007, Blizzard announced that the Death Knight hero class will be a new addition in the Wrath of the Lich King expansion pack.

Any other rumors posted on the WoW forums so far have not been confirmed, however one persistent rumor that keeps getting reposted is listed here.

(All info below is from BlizzCon 2007)

To be become a Death Knight, you must be level 80 and you need to complete a quest chain. All classes and races are able to complete this chain, and can be done by all kinds of players, even non raiders. Once the quest is done, you unlock the ability to create a new Death Knight character of any race. The starting level of the character will start at a high level, somewhere from level 55-70, which has not yet been decided. Death Knights do not have a Mana, Rage or Energy bar; instead they use Runes. There are three types of runes: Blood, Frost and Unholy (Presumably the Talent trees as well). You use a combination of those six runes in your bar to mix and match. Different spells require different numbers and types of runes, depending on how powerful that spell is. As you use them, the runes will go on a cooldown before you can use it again. There are plans for spells to restore runes in combat, so you aren't pigeon holed if you use the wrong abilities. The Death Knight has two roles: tanking and damage dealing. They do not use shields while tanking, instead using two-handed weapons or dual-wielding.
