    Does this mean DK's will have a new starting experience in 8.3? Because if so, i'm surprised that there's barely any datamined info of it besides some weapons and a few dialog lines.

    Not really. They start at 10 and that's been stated

    I've made a few on the PTR, but now they're locked off saying 'you need to purchase Shadowlands to access this blah blah'.

    One thing I do not like are the DK's new eyes, they almost look grainy, like detail for the sake of detail instead of simply being a smooth glowing texture.
    Appreciate your time with friends and family while they're here. Don't wait until they're gone to tell them what they mean to you.

    It will be Blizzard's last mistake.
    They are pulling it off.
    What are you going to court about?
    Who is we?
    Are you expecting to send Blizzard straight to jail?

    I am fairly certain that "starting at 10" happens after the level squish, i.e. when Shadowlands prepatch hits. It would be strange for 8.3 allied race DK's to start at a lower level than any other class does as an allied race.

    I see what you're saying and didn't realize which specific point in time we were talking

    Most allied races abilities are quite horrible for DKs, while under this thick DK Armor everything kinda looks the same...

    Personally, i am sad that blizz now advertises race skins as content, how about adding more depth to classes? Shadowlands would have been the perfect time to introduce a new range dd class. Necromancer comes to mind, while dks need a new design, for some of their specs.

    Really strange "allied races this, allied race that" meta currently at blizz.....visuals before gameplay....i see how this was made possible with all the original devs leaving a sinking ship, because thats the time all of this nonsense actually started.

I'm guessing that they're not going to be available in 8.3 but at a later date. Maybe 8.3.5 or even the prepatch like DH before Legion.

    Edit: Well I just saw a post on Wowhead literally seconds after I posted this that says this info lmao

    Edit 2: Also side note, are they going to add any undead textures like the original races have? Like the 3 undeadish faces and 3 different skin tones and hair colors.
    Odd thing is I DO have it on order and it still says this to me..though I have three accounts and only one has it so many be that is why

    It's good to see them flexing an amazing content spread in this upcoming, clearly very inspired expansion. Nothing screams pre-order me quite like being able to reroll a decade old class on the same race, only that race now can have one of five low resolution tattoos.

    AFAIR it's 10 for Hero classes regardless of race from 9.0 onwards. 8.3 will still have default starting levels because otherwise they'd have no skills for at least 40 levels.

    I have the same thing too. Might have to wait until the PTR updates a few times. There's still the intro
    I don't play WoW anymore smh.

    Now that you mention it, it might have been allied races who start at 10 I was thinking of. I suppose in the case of allied race DKs it would be both technically.

    Oh no not this again. Death knights are necromancers. Unholy is specifically the necromancer spec.

    No, priests and paladins aren't the same. Paladins are ex priests, death knights are not ex necromancers, they're necromancers to begin with.

    If they wanted to make unholy ranged I would be totally onboard though. With clawing shadows it basically gets there anyway.

    Am I missing something here? All these people that are comparing the release of allied races to this and saying the allied races was a much better pre-release than this... how is it any different?

    Allied races allowed you to essentially change the appearance of the CURRENT classes and gave you a few new racials. Isn’t this exactly what we are getting with the DKs? Yes I agree neither one is fantastic, but they are virtually the same. So are people genuinely aggrieved by this or just upset that none of the new races will affect min-maxing for DKs?

    Man, it's like watching the forums explain why demon hunters couldn't exist because of demonology warlocks all over again.

    The only reason necromancers aren't currently a class is because they didn't feel like making them a class. That's it.

    If you actually read my post you would see that there is not a single complaint in it. I was stating information from the PTR. There is a big difference between a complaint and my statement.

    I was hoping for fourth specs myself. Many classes could use them imo.
