Rolled a DK so I could quest through Outlands without leveling my baby mage. I love her to death, but I fight like a fish in a paper bag ( Read more... )

I'll let other people talk about rotations and stuff, but as for RP... I honestly would say it would work if you did it right. I mean, after the fall of the Lich King, I imagine the Knights of the Ebon Blade are feeling kind of adrift. Who are they now? They aren't agents of the Lich King, but they also don't exactly fit in the world they left behind. However, my impression of Death Knights is that they are a little jaded. When you arrive in Ice Crown, stop to listen to the Ebon Watcher and Tirion as they converse before you phase out of that first zone. I can't find the exact dialogue, but here's the description from wowwiki:

Tirion can also be found in Icecrown at the Argent Vanguard, talking to the Ebon Watcher. Through their dialogue with each other, you learn the Ebon Watcher is actually Darion Mograine. Darion Mograine talks pessimistically, saying they cannot win when the Lich King is not shackled to any virtues of the Light. Tirion states he will not lower himself to the Scourge's level; they will do this with honor or else ( ... )

Aww, thanks! I tend to get philosophical about that sort of thing, but it's definitely how I feel about my deathknight.

Huh. I really like that, thank you for the indepth reply. :D

A Death Knight without such inner conflict is a boring death knight (Or just an evil killing machine)

Oh, you are very welcome. And you got me started on my soapbox apparently, because I ended up writing an entry in my blog about it: http://community.livejournal.com/clanofkeli/17118.html. I'm not an expert at all, but the death knights fascinate me. They do have a lot of role play potential.

I am so glad I found this today. My Drae DK just got recruited into an RP guild, and she's been struggling to explain to her new friends why they are expecting too much of her emotionally. Thanks!
