Još malo detalja o Death Knight hero klasi osvanule su danas. Skoro iste kao i uvek, ali po ovim informacijama role DK će biti tank-ovanje, a ne DPS. (I nije tolko iznenadjujuće, kad uzmemo u obzir da su to Dark Paladin-i). Informacije je zvanično dao Tyren (Source):

The death knight will be a tank/dps class. Currently there is an under-representation of tank classes, so the decision was made add a tank class to balance the class representation. A great quote that the dev team mentions is that the Death Knight is "epic but equal," meaning the experience is meant to be epic, but the death knight will be the equal of other classes. Otherwise there would be an over-representation of tanks and not enough healers and dps in the world.
