Death Knight class?

How about a melee necromancer. Knight with undeads on his command and dark and blood magic too boost his fighter and caster abilities? With two-handed sword or (war) scythe if personal items come back (i hope no).
I am sure that there are some warriors of Rathma or maybe Traq'oul believers?
Personally i found paladin a boring class too play so i would gladly try class from other side.
What do you think?


P.S. Don't bother with poll text in () i put it on no special purpose .

Re: Death Knight class?

I love the idea of a summon/melee class, but calling it a "death knight" seems kinda out of place. No idea what it would be called, though.

i Garrenty (sp?) 100% blizzard wont use the name deathknight if they make a concept similar to this. Reason: this fall an expansion for WoW is coming out, and the major selling point, a deathknight class.

I see your point but other way they used witch doctor which looks like his w3 comrade so... and i am not good with finding names call this knight as you wish... black knights, Traq'oul knights etc.

Re: Death Knight class?

Would be a cool class to play. Would fill out the alternate melee and necro spots. On another note, anyone else get this forum bug that when you post in a poll it then takes you to a different poll? The poll at the top will be from the first thread but the posts are a different poll.

Your loaded poll implied a 'death knight' wasn't a rehash.

Ask a player whether they'd like class x to be in D3, with no implied disadvantage to the player, just a 'free' extra class, isn't particularly productive. Asking whether they'd like class x to be in D3 more than class y is more interesting, but only when class x and y are equally conceptual or otherwise, or a vaguer poll of how many classes in D3 should be rehashes or all new?

Re: Death Knight class?

I'm okay with nothing being rehashed, but existing players should not have to look very far for something that suit their styles. If by death knight you mean playing as 'evil' classes, that's not such a bad idea. Oblivion Knights anyone?

There is no "free" extra classes because as F.A.Q. state there is only 5 spot and 2 already taken so you cannot talk this way. You cannot ask people if they would prefer x than y because there are different tastes it's better to ask if they like to play x char and see how many people would like to play or what they think about this char.

Re: Death Knight class?

You should have skewed the poll more:

Death Knight (" I want dark, powerful and new! Kill enemies to get stronger!")
Paladin ("I want the boring, old and weak paladin back")

The poll you posted is pretty silly. The concept for the character (playing something evil) would take a lot of stretching to get it into the game.
