I rolled my DK this past weekend after getting my second toon to 80.
All I have to say is that there is MAD death knight hate out there. I've been harassed in whispers, had single mobs feared into large packs to aggro them, /spit on, mobs stolen...It's really amazing. People REALLY hate death knights.
As a tee-hee to myself, I actually liked it when the mobs got feared and aggroed 5-8 others. They were ALL dead about 15 seconds later and I couldn't stop laughing as the person who did it stood there going 'well fuck'.

There is good reason people hate DK's.
They spend all their time in low level areas "gripping" things that people at the appropriate level are trying to get. Using their epic mounts to that abuse.
I just wish that Blizzard would have made you exchange a 55+ to create a DK, then there would be less of them, and they could start with the exchanged character's skills rather than at zero.
Sure, it's a great class and the _class_ deserves respect. But it is rare that I see someone that plays a DK that isn't a !@#%$.
To be honest, to answer the post's question. No, I haven't created one, because I don't want to even be associated with the way people that play DK's behave.

Wow. Makes me glad I'm on a RP server. I mean, we've got some jerks out there, but not on that level. I've had a few instances where DKs grip something I was about to hit, but it's no different from when any character with an instant spell grabs your mob in a crowded quest zone.

I havn't made a death knight, and im leveling my pally alt through outland right now with my gf and we're ganking every ally death knight we see.... ok every ally we see, but we kill death knights with extra anger!

It's totally normal for WoWers to express their frustration with themselves blaming DKs nowadays. It's the same reason why poor people badmouth rich people, non-hollywood stars badmouth hollywood stars...: jealousy. But hey, no need for that, everybody can roll a DK :P
My main is a Mage btw... and then comes a Pally - this is no DK-talk :P

The other problem with DK's initially was they had this issue with death grip - they would be standing way over there watching the tank do his thing and think "holy crap - that mob is way the fruit over there and my sword only reaches like 5 yards... grip..." I saw a warrior kick a dk over that in a group once on my way to 80.
Also - there's a death knight problem - way to many of them. Fact is you can't have raids full of dk's. Some raid bosses favor ranged, some favor melee, but hardly all or one of the other.
So great - we solved the tank problem sort of... Now we have a massive imbalance of one class over another.

I have yet to get my DK past level 60, but one day...I just need to finish collecting all my Naxx 25 gear for my mage and get my pali to 80. Though with all that sweet looking DK starting gear, maybe he will stay at 60. :P
Harmun Dec 30th 2008 10:20AM
they make excellent bank alts :)
Riftsrunner Dec 30th 2008 3:15PM
I know what you mean about the second set of DK gear. I loved it so much I had to make a Figure Print of my DK when I got chosen in the drawing. My only problem was the Helm, I love the Helm but it covers the face almost totally and the eyes are cool.
Xarro Dec 30th 2008 8:13AM
I rolled one and got him to 72... then deleted the character and rolled another one. She is 70 right now. ;)
Quite frankly, there were quite fewer DKs on my way to Northrend this time, than there was at release.
Zarlod Dec 30th 2008 8:15AM
I just got WOTLK today so I'll get my main to 80, and then start a DK
Attack Gypsy Dec 30th 2008 8:14AM
I rolled a BE one, got him to 61, then rerolled a Tauren. He's at 64 now. I'm kinda lazy at this point.
mcclary Dec 30th 2008 8:18AM
love my DK. she (tauren) is at 72 and my main (UD spriest) is almost 76. i really want to make the DK my main, but we'll see.
Pzychotix Dec 30th 2008 8:25AM
Mine's a bank alt. Free epic mount + Crusader Aura =
Irshalthra Dec 30th 2008 8:57AM
Nice idea - a bank alt that can go anywhere and disenchant high level items - I am liking that.
Chu Dec 30th 2008 8:27AM
When the new patch comes out i will roll a dk on a pvp to harass low level 30s
havitech Dec 30th 2008 9:03AM
Have fun getting your face smashed in by their level 80 friends.
Naix Dec 30th 2008 9:32AM
DKs do smash faces
epsilon343 Dec 30th 2008 1:16PM
You're so cool...
Worcester Dec 30th 2008 1:55PM
Come to Coilfang. Roll Alliance.
It will be fun to camp you, and since you won't have a main on the server, well there's just not much you're going to be able to do about it!
