Few tanks are feared more than the Death Knight. This class can be great for players that are looking for something new, or wish to start fresh on a new server, as the Death Knight begins that game a level 55. It is recommended that new players first take a chance to experience the game with a character that begins at level 1 before jumping into this class.

Death Knights have the ability to fill two roles very well; that is the role of a damage dealer and a tank. The two most popular choices for talent specialization are Unholy and Blood. As a Blood talent specialization, you gain the ability to do large amounts of damage, and siphon some back to yourself as health. This allows a Death Knight to continuously pump out damage with less worry about their health points.
