Blizzard je objavio Death Knight intervju sa dev timom, kao i Lore sekciju za Lore fanove. 

How do you think adding another tanking class to the existing class lineup will affect the classes that are currently filling tanking spots in groups and raids?

When deciding which type of class we would add to World of Warcraft, we also took a very careful look at the current state of the game. The questions we asked ourselves were which kind of class roles are seeing the most use, which class roles are most desirable in groups right now, and what can we do to best meet this demand? Tanks play a critical role in any group, such that without a tank, you really don’t have a group. We think that adding another tanking class will make it easier for players to form viable groups for dungeons and raids, but that won’t be at the expense of existing tanks.
