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 taken from the Warcraft III hero units.
Death knight
- Main article: Death Knight (hero class)
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. Nethaera posted on the new Wrath of the Lich King forums that the current plans are one new hero class per expansion pack.
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.
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. Non-melee magic abilities will also play a role during combat.
