Wow: Lich King New Hero Classes
With the new WoW Lich King comes the new Hero class which many WoW players have been patiently waiting for. Hero classes will consist of rejects from WoW III that didn’t make it into level 1 (either because they were too strong, or because they didn’t make sense.) The WoW Lich King Hero Class contains the Death Knight, which is accessible after your character reaches level 55. The Hero class also consists of the Bard, and since he is a little different, I’ll review him first.
The Bard, which started out as an April fool’s joke now appears in the Lich King Hero Class. He has a big attitude and is armed with an axe. He has an even bigger guitar, allowing him to play killer riffs! He performs solo as well as in groups.
In the spirit of music, the Bard has a Punk tree he can access which gives him the ability to dispel fear with Nonconformity and a Mosh Pit gives him a temporary boost of speed, but leaves members still within range.
Of course, no musical inclination would be possible without a “groove.” The groove fuels his powers, and when an ability is selected, the Fret Bar is launched, so the character will know which riffs to activate on the guitar-based keyword peripheral, which is shipped with the game.
Now for the serious WOW Lich King Hero Class – the Death Knight.
The Death Knight’s quests take place in Acherus: The Ebon Hold and in the Scarlet Enclave. Because all death knights have to start out in the Ebon Hold it is a sanctuary and therefore, there is no PvP combat.
The Death Knight is fully plated up, with access to extra resources of runic power, which build up as abilities are used, and because of the plates, he doesn’t use a shield.
There are six runes available; two runes of each of the three types. They are refreshed in ten second increments. Resources of the Death Knight are based on cool downs, instead of heating up with the mana, rage, and energy mechanics.
The Death Knight is a great WoW Hero Class, and I recommend the Bard to anyone looking for a fun character!
