The knight is world of warcraft first hero class, but dont let that sobriquet deceive you- death knights are meant to be equal in power to the other nine classes. As such, they fill the hybrid niche between tanking and magic based damage. undead warriors that have rebelled against the lich king's rule, this class is open to all races, leading to some rather awkward Tauren and Gnome death knights walking around.PROS........ Can summon the undead to fight. Runic system is a refreshing take on melee combat and casting. Death knights leave there starting area with a full set of rare equiment.CONS.... If you have not played much melee classesbefore, you have a lot to learn. While fun to play, death knights could be complicated to manage. Not all races can pull the death Knight look off. cya lifeline2514
