Initial (Short) Impressions of Death Knights

A few days ago, I got access to the beta (although it was EU! *sob*). Since European Beta does not currently have premades, I decided to make a Death Knight to be able to experience some part of the beta. Keep in mind, this was after the damage nerfs. However, all those people crying about how damage sucks, have no idea what they are talking about. Why? Because no matter how hard I try, I won’t die. Keep in mind though, that I am only level 60.

55-58

The quests here are completely jaw-dropping. Extremely well done, it is no wonder everyone wants a death knight if the class is as good as it’s starter quest. It is also very dynamic. Sure, you have your usual “Kill X number of Mobs” quests, but you have so much more, such as stealing horses and then killing it. Quests have also started having voice-overs, which makes it all the more epic. From start till end, the entire questline felt inspiring, dramatic, and entertaining.

Above, I was saying that everything felt so vibrant and entertaining. Sadly, that quickly ends. You are now free of the Lich King’s hold, and are now in Hellfire Penninsula, why? Why am I in a place that has nothing to do with Death Knights? I understand at that level, they cannot send us to Northrend, but it seems to be just useless. Could they at least give us a quest? Something like, “Prove yourself to our cause, blah blah blah.” Either way, they did make it 30% faster, so I cannot complain.
