Beginning of a new Death Knight Era (maybe)

Well I was thinking of kicking this blog off with a joke about a Priest and a Warlock but then maybe you wouldn’t laugh and then would stop reading. So I’ll just get right into it, eh?

Hi! My name (not real of course) is TheRedDeath. That is the name of my level 80 Death Knight I play in the World of Warcraft online MMORPG. My reason for starting this blog was the simple fact that recently I have been getting tells in game about my gear, my talents, my all around how to play a death knight, to be referred to as DK from here on. I had brought this up in guild chat because I felt it was kind of weird since I know I’m not the best player out there. A guildie who I always take advice from and respect for it, told me to start a blog. So let’s kick it off and see how I do!

First here is my character page. http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Azuremyst&n=Thereddeath
When the expansion of WoW Lich King came out, I was excited. For several reasons.
Number one: More of the game to play.
Two: The hero class Death Knights, the ultimate Warlock in plate! I mean come on. Warlocks…in plate!!
A little history to start off. I played a Warlock and a Rogue (both at end game Burning Crusade) prior to Lich King but I wanted to know how it was to wear plate without having to level through 1 to 80. Well here was my chance, DKs started at level 55 if you had a toon at level 55. So I made a deal with myself, since I know most people on my server were going to shoot off and start Northrend quests and try to get to 80 first I would take a little time and before I start that and create a DK and see how it was.
Well before I knew I had leveled to 59 and was just starting my rebellion against the Lich King after killing innocent villagers for 3 levels. I was actually enjoying playing this DK. So I finished rebelling and was sent to Stormwind (I’m a human DK) to become a member of the Alliance. Since Northrend starting areas were still packed with ninjas I decided to keep playing the DK and hit Outlands for a little fun with the Demons and Orcs. Before I knew it I was sailing thru Hellfire, into Zangarmarsh and right into my favorite zone, Nagrand. The beauty of Nagrand is exquisite. But again I surfed thru those Nesingway quests in no time and was hitting 68-69 when I had the compulsion to hit Northrend.
So I started in Borean Tundra and before I knew it I was in Icecrown taking on 5 man group quests by myself and realized I was having fun and was not that far from hitting 80! Well I hit 80 on the Rider quests and was quite proud. Plate armor rocks! I had leveled my DK from 55 to 80. Now this is where my blog will take a different note on talents, specs and gear. Come back for the next installment to see what I did!
