The good folks over at
Ripten have posted up links to leaked, alpha versions of the expansion's talent trees and some of the new abilities that we can expect. And I must say, the Death Knight's lists is rather boner inducing, if you're into that sort of thing.
Let me break down the math for you:
Plate class + diseases, summoning, and generally being an annoying fuckbag in pvp x DEATH COIL = zomgDOWANT.
So, you can see through this entirely scientific equation, the ship is sailing directly into a sea of awesome from which my social life may never return. It's a chance I'm willing to take.
And if that isn't enough to get your inner nerd skipping through a field of daisies and undead, the fact that Warriors will be able to DUAL WIELD with 2hand weapons should send you over the edge. Providing you play a warrior, of course (which I have been known to do).
The only downside is that it appears that Warlocks are being beaten, pummeled, and forcibly penetrated by the nerf bat. Which is sad, because I have also been known to play a Warlock. But, as long as the Death Knight ends up as fun as the talent tree suggests, I think I'll be just fine. After all, I can get my deathcoil on while WEARING PLATE ARMOR.
Mmmm. Plate armor...
I call bullshit. This is from the Warlock spell list (seeing as how I played a Warlock since launch day, I'd look at that first). It just sounds.... not true
