1. What is a Hero Class?

2. How do I Unlock my Death Knight?
- The Death Knight will be unlocked through a Long quest chain. This chain will be done by a level 80 and is expected to take a while.
- The quest line's roll is to teach you about your death knight.

3. What will Happen to my Main?
- Your Main will not be transformed into a death knight. Blizzard juggles with this ideia but thought that you would be loosing something to gain something.
- The death knight will be unlocked and will start at a high level. This is also a part of the hero class. imagine a level one death knight gnome killing boars, lol. Blizzard is not sure on the expected level but they expect it to be within level 50-70.

4. What Gear Will i be able to use?
- Death Knights will be a plate wearing class. But they will not have the ability to use Shields.
- You will get a Special Weapon either Two-Handed or one handed (Intended to dual wield)
- This will be referred to as your "Runeblade(s)"

5. What Gear will my Death Knight start with?
- Your Death Knight will have gear stated as reasonably Decent for your level, ( Blues im assuming.)
- You will start with a mount!

6. What Kind of System will i use?
- Your Death Knight will use a whole new type of system called the Rune System.
- This will be totally persional and you will be able to make it how you want it!
- You will be able to choose the runes placed there. The runes will recharge just like energy does (but slower i imagine)

7. What Makes the Death Knight Different?
- This class is meant to feel completely different from any other class. It is a dps class, like a rouge but Blizzard is being very careful not to make it over power the rogue but it will be a hearty competitor.
- The Death Knight will not only be a mele class but a summoning class.
- The Death Knight is a VERY, VERY Different class.

2. How do I Unlock my Death Knight?
- The Death Knight will be unlocked through a Long quest chain. This chain will be done by a level 80 and is expected to take a while.

This is not true, in an official thread by blizzard in the EU forums they say they aren't going to make the chain at 80 because people will go to 80 as fast as possible and skip a lot of content and Blizzard is strongly against skipping content.
