78.87% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

Thats statisticly proved.

first i'll say hello and second... i agree.
there's a difference with the dk to all the other classes, you start at lvl 55 with a lot of new spells.
I started a dk from opening day of wolk with the intent to make it my main.... and i did.

however just like everyone else, i had very little idea about the mechanics and inner workings of the class. Heck i did a lot of mistakes trying to learn it, everyone did. The initial learning curve of the dk was a little steep.

Having said that, i think enough time has passed for some dk mains to have figured out the class quite well... too well in fact (hence the nerfs).

I also got the feeling that people didnt' want another class rolling on their loot, getting the raid spots etc... i know i definately got that as a tank main spec dk.

but all in all, i think people are changing their minds about dk's. lol

just takes time i guess :-\

I switched to a DK main from a dps warrior in 3.1. I recently tranferred to a high pop horde server for better opportunities to raid. On my new server there is definitely DK hate. For the 1st week on the server I was unguilded and had a hard time finding pugs. Id ask to join a group and id get. "You're a DK. You suck. We don't want any fail players in this raid". Id counter with. Check me out. If I don't perform. Boot me. So when I did find a group I showed them I could play. Also when id find a group people would always ask why I was unguilded or ask me to join their guild. I feel I help put out that there are good players who have DK's as their main. I luckily found a great guild who offers what I was looking for and also needed a dps DK.

Keep faith DK brothers and sisters. Once you do get in a group. Show them you know how to play. Give yourself and other DKs a good name.

It's just our turn.

That's the way it works, learn to deal with it.

Ret pallys got denied even regular group invite in TBC. We havn't seen a thing as far as humilation goes. Having to reroll and relearn? All our specs do the same thing. TBC for a pally was either Tanking or Healing, and more often than not Healing, because Pally tanks were like blasphemy.

i can see why people dont like the "death knight" and im fine with that..

i personally rolled a dk when my preist was 67, because i hated him.. healing bored me, and shadow didnt seem fun whatsoever
i got my death knight to 80, and am one of my guild top dps, so i class myself in the "10% who can accualy play" according to some people. This is unfair and unkind, i know alot of people in my position wernt keen with their current class, and rolled a death knight to just try it out, and in most cases people love them! Yes, some dks are no good, some arnet, this is the same with ALL classes, and i class myself as one can play very well and be extremely useful in a raid. i also have a full set of tanking gear, and a pvp set and take part in arena also, death knights are VERY useful to have.

End all the hate, dks are people too

I play a Dk as my main and I almost rerolled when I saw a Belf DK named Sephiroth.

There's at least one per server. It just depends if they end up on horde or alliance.
