BlizzCon is over, it has been a good ride.
We were able to avoid lines most of today, but that isn’t to say there were none. We had to skip on the game demos and talking murlocs (sorry Gill), but StarCraft II beta is expected “soon” and Jinx will have the murlocs available online around mid to late November so it is just a delay, not a loss.
Two bits of death knight news from the panels I sat in today. One, Blizzard confirmed that death knights come with the WotLK expansion and will not be appearing in the upcoming 3.0.2 patch. Not surprising, but good to put down those rumors. Two, Blizzard commented on the expected DPS placement of death knights. Assuming equal gear and player skill a death knight who is tanking should rank alongside a protection warrior or paladin. Personally I think we’ll be at the top of that list of three. Likewise a DPS specced death knight will rank with other melee DPS, feral druids and rogues being the listed examples. Should rogues and pure cat druids be ahead of us? Probably for the rogue, maybe for the cat, but good to know we won’t be putting out “good enough” damage if we’re focused on DPS.
I’ll see about getting my BlizzCon photos up and those of my group linked. Starting on Monday look for Preparing for Your Death Knight posts, going over things you can do now to get a jump on leveling up your death knight.
