yay, im thread number three!

now for the on-topic part of the post:

my death knight is going to be named ralphus. if possible, hes going to be either a gnome or draenei death knight for alliance, or a tauren/troll death knight for horde. of course, the race is all speculation because we dont know who can be what, but im hoping for at least one of those four to be choices.

Mine's probably gonna be an orc, since I don't have an orc character. His name is probably gonna be Kargoth, for lore reasons. :P I'm such a geek, but: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_knight

apparently he was the first death knight in DnD. Anywho...

Well the first death knight(Teron Gorefiend) was an orc.

It's kind of a misnomer. There are two distinctly different kinds of death knights. Those of Warcraft II are different from those of Warcraft III.

mental note... makes copies of ralphus and Kargoth on all available servers...

Wasn't the whole Death Knight thing supposed to happen with your main after you got him/her to lvl 80?

Short Answer: No

Long answer: Go to wowwiki and search death knights.



Personally I already reserved the name "Past"

Starting with my toon being Distantpast (The old Silver Hand) Past (What became of a few of them)

Gnomezilla! Already have the name reserved.

If you need to be told what race, you need help.

mine will be called krieger.

It means warrior.

Name's somewhat unimportant.

Race, well, it will depend on what the class is like to be honest.

Since I'm going to be Alliance, this limits me somewhat.

However, if the Class is anything like a Warrior/Rogue and is a melee class that can get kited to hell and back, Gnome will be the best pvp choice and Human the best pve choice.

Hard to click or Escape Artist worth more?
#14 Apr 14 2008 at 3:56 PM Rating: Excellent
Hard to click? Heh... you must not do many arena, addon such as proximo or arena unit frame make targeting people easy, regardless of race.

No, the reason is Escape Artist of course.

Hehe, you caught me.

I don't touch arenas, just do BGs, have no addons save for Omen2 and MyRolePlay (and WoWReader), and get 8 FPS in normal conditions (18 in perfect (enclosed cave) conditions), and 2 FPS is hectic fustercluck situations like, say, in a WSG flag room.

I like the idea of a Troll Death Knight. Can't put my finger on why, just seems like they'd be cool.

Theconverted/Tauren probably.

I would like to see how mana tap/arcane torrent would work with the rune system though.

My guess would be that a rune isn't restored unless all three Mana Tap charges are up for the Arcane Torrent.


Edit: Geez, guys, the "You're four" means "You're thread number four." Quor said he was thread number 3, but Jordster's thread was sub-defaulted at the time so I guess Quor didn't see he was thread 4.

Even then, depending on the setup for how the runes work exactly and the abilities they can do, Arcane Torrent might end up being a very nice racial for it.

If it was 1 rune per tap... O.o that would be awesome (I imagine). Needing 3 taps in order to get a benefit from it kinda gimps it, so I guess we will have to wait and see.

This will be tricky for them to handle... the descriptions so far have implied Runes regenerate slowly unless you use cooldown-based abilities to regenerate them.

I'd like to think Mana Tap would restore a Rune per charge (because a Blood Elf DK would also look badass), but I cant help but think it would be over the top for PvP.

My guess would be probabilistic; each charge gives you a 50% chance to regenerate a random Rune.

I think you just make an alt with that name, then delete it later.

Yeah, make an alt with the name, then when the expansion comes out, delete it and make a new one as a DK and hope no one has taken that name in the couple of minutes it takes you to make a toon.

Velmuffins reserved. Believe me, someone on the server must like my name because "Velwaffle" was taken, "Velpancake" was taken, as was veleena, velna, and vel.

Hmm...thinking about it, I may have to clear more space for more than 1 DK if allowed on a server. Luckily I have some time to make up a name, though I remmeber seeing Knightlight, which seems cool.
