Death Knights are one of the most iconic classes of World of Warcraft. From Warcraft 3 and the story of Arthas up to Battle for Azeroth and the involvement of Bolvar.
In this video, I focus on their actual history and the actual creation. Talking about first generation ones such as Teron Gorefiend as well as second generation ones such as Arthas Menethil. Then I go over the third generation ones created by the Lich King Arthas in WotLK.
I talk about their resurrection, vetting process, freedom and consequences left upon them. Covering specific death knights such as Thassarian, Koltira Deathweaver, Darion Mograine and Sir Zeliek.

Blizzard missed a HUGE opportunity in LK. The original design intent was for players to sacrifice a current character, to have it raised as a deathknight. Heck, DK cinematic even talks about how you were a hero who sacrificed them self to buy the world another day, but then nothing in the gameplay or story quests in the DK starter zone has any follow up to that opening monologue. Then when you meet the argent character in the burning church, that quest text mentions how you were both hero's and he or she thought you were dead. So Blizzard scrapped the idea after the cinematic dialogue had been recorded it, but didn't bother to fix or reference it in the game. It would have been much, much, much, more compelling to have to sacrifice a 55+ level character in order to create the DK. It also should have been a epic quest line leading up to the sacrifice, and this would have dramatically reduced the number of DK's running around in LK because players would have HAD to make that hard choice to kill that time invested, established, high level character to play this new class. It would have made the class so much more interesting because of having to made that choice to play it, not to mention the story quests in the DK starting zone would have made so much more sense!

@RollerDerbyHigh 5 лет назад

Thats super cool idea. What if depending on the class you were before it somehow had an effect on your character once you became a DK

@-Gous- 5 лет назад

@@RollerDerbyHigh these 2 ideas should have been implemented damn, why aren't you guys developers, something is wrong here

@VProfile3 5 лет назад

That idea was arround when wotlk was in develop. But they ultimate scrapped it because what if thousands would make the decision and become death kinights. It would be problematic because it could drastically reduce the amount of other classes and create imbalance

@mk_gamíng0609 5 лет назад

Cool idea but your not a dev, so they must of scrapped it for good reasons. My thinking is that generally making a person who put time into a char to sacrifice it would be a bad idea, also people would just level a character to 55 then do it, effectively make the point that a DK starts at 55 pointless

@zain6008 4 года назад

@@mk_gamíng0609 yup. If that was how you were supposed to do it I'd just get a monk on healer spec to level 55 and sacrifice it. It would be pretty cool but not convenient.

The First Generation Death Knights wielded melee weapons in many of the official artworks. They also wore heavy plate armour. They were supposed to be a dark mirror of Paladins but it seemed more like they were casters in tanking gear. EDIT: Also there are accounts of Third Generations that either was not killed first but directly made into a Scourge servant and others that were kept alive and their bodies slowly died as they grew stronger as Death Knights.

@@shadowgamer4306 they started to follow Illidan because they didnt really have anything left, after the legion took everything from them by killing their families or destroying their homes, so they dont really care if they die, they just want to defeat the legion.... dunno what are their motives in bfa tho, because there are still demons in azeroth, but Sylvanas wanted to kill herself after the defeat of the lich king too because she reached her ultimate goal and she was just a wretched zombie, like the dh's are just corrupted people who are looked down upon by their people. I'm not sure about the process itself tho, i guess they have to eat demon hearts and their eyes are burnt out

@chasemunoz3236 2 года назад

Although second-generation death knights were mostly former paladins, some of them were also warriors. Falwyn, Marwyn, and Baron Rivendare weren't paladins in life, and I believe that Thassarian is technically a second-generation Death Knight, too. In fact, I think Thassarian was the third Death Knight raised by the Lich King, and he later participated in the slaughter at the Capital City in Lordaeron.

I haven't played wow in almost a year but DK was my main since first day of wotlk. Through the good and bad times I was a sucker for unholy. Ran the shit out of tsg or dot cleave. I have almost 15k hours on the first dk I ever made. I miss playing it but to issues irl and how the game has progressed, I haven't had the desire I once had to play. Going from pure addiction to questioning my life choices. It was for the best to call it quits but I still represent the game from a longterm perspective. I'll finish this mindless rambling by saying, "FOR THE HORDE!"...

The Lich king needed an army and the sword was so powerful that it was able to steal souls and still manage to utilize them in combat and battles. They were like demon possessed same as Arthas became after so long the dark energy is tempting. Vast amounts of power super quickly

Their bodies are rotten however and the magic that keeps the body bound together is not as sophisticated as in later generation Death Knights. I assume that's why it's stated the 1st generation are physically weak.

@kaungsi5613 5 лет назад

They tried that with Druid in Cata or Panda i believe. There is a spell that give different things depending on who he cast it to. It is apparantly a nightmare to balance so they give up. Making DK's endgame a bit different depending on what their OG class will be just plain nightmare.

@Honicecool 5 лет назад

Does Bolvar resurrects people and make them DK like Arthas?

@BansheeKing22 3 года назад

Late response but. Bolvars generation of death knights are actually weaker. When arthas created the third generation he instilled the endless hunger and the training regiment you can safely say was equal if not worse than illidans for his illidari and we all know how brutal that training was. Bolvars generation also chose to become death knights and they also lack the eternal hunger. Lore wise his breed is weaker than arthas's.

@bobafat2082 5 лет назад

G2A is a gray market, meaning there is always a certain risk of buying stuff on there. I'd advice to buyers to always buy from sellers with the certified tag, then you have the greatest chance the seller is legit. Whether Blizzard will ban you for having bought stolen digital items, I cannot confirm or deny. I do believe there is an article in the Terms of Service where they state you should not buy digital content from 3rd parties.
