Ten Days of Knight: Day One
Project Lore Editor
Project Lore's own Zand Broumand starts a death knight in the Wrath of the Lich King Beta. Check out the first quests that new death knights will experience in the new expansion, beginning with an encounter with the Lich King himself!
This is the first episode in our new Ten Days of Knight special that we will be running along side the regular Project Lore show, leading up to the launch of Wrath of the Lich King on November 13. Let us know what you think here! Remember that the expansion is still in beta, meaning things can change before the game goes live.
Remember that our subscribe page has links for Project Lore all over the web. You can use our Episodes RSS feed or Twitter to find out when new episodes are out, and don't forget to join our Facebook Group, Facebook Page, and MySpace.
The next episode of our Ten Days of Knight will be up on Thursday, and there's more Karazhan tomorrow and Friday. Tune in at Noon PDT each day to be the first to see the shows.
*** Spoilers for the Death Knight experience are throughout this special! ***

JEaaaaa DK FTW
Thats so cool I didn't know the death knights could be any race. eg night elf taurren etc.
Great episode can't watch it all right now at school haha. Great school guys.
PL rules
holy shit! lmao my gamertag for xbox is bigwang!!! WOOT
which race to choose?! looks awesome, keep it up
Alrighty, for the people that might be slightly confused, or too lazy to look them up:
Icy Touch uses 1 frost rune, does ice damage, and puts a disease on the target that reduces melee attack speed, and spell casting speed by 20%.
Plague Strike costs 1 unholy rune, and does shadow damage, and Puts on a disease that does x amount of damage over Y seconds.
Blood Strike costs 1 blood rune, and does X damage, then an additional Y damage for each disease on the target, AND heals you for a small amount based on the damage.
So the general set up is you use Icy Touch from range, then plague strike when they are close, so the target has 2 diseases on it, then use both blood runes on blood strike to heal some of the damage you have taken, and to deal extra damage.
Everytime you activate a Rune, you get 10 runic power, so in other words, you can icy, plague, blood, blood, then have enough to use death coil.
Oh, and Blood Presence is a self only buff, that increases the physical damage you deal, and causes something like 4% of all damage you deal to heal yourself.
btw, I really like how your handling this, showing the people that don't have access to the beta a general guide on how to do things, but still leaving stuff out, so the people that are interested in the lore, aren't really spoiled so much. (they can still read the quests, listen to the litch king constantly directing you, etc.)
show*
Death Coil 40 Runic Power
40 yard range
Deals X damage to unfriendly targets, or heals X life to friendly undead units.
Forgot to put that up there lol
I love PL and DKs are FTW!
There was a blue post on the beta forums some time ago that actually stated that their intent was to create a DK ability rotation with icy touch, plague strike, blood strike, and death coil. Kinda neat stuff.
Zand and Bigwang you are awesome!
even though wotlk will be coming out in less then a month, i cant resist any new beta vids. Thanks for another great episode, cant wait for the rest
Awesome episode. And For the Horde!
Good job Zand on this episode! DK look pretty sweet from how it looks right now. Cant wait till your next video!
Good job. Later on, can you take a quick sec to show what the other races look like in the character creation screen? I'd love to see them.
when we can make DK's I think ½ of ppls will make a gnome just for the laugh :)
Thanks for starting a Death Knight guys! Oh, and the Hordey Dordey Ding Dongs are stoked that you are rolling Horde! Played with a Death Knight at Blizzcon but of course they are lvl 80 toons. Nice to see how the new character will start their quest chain and explanations of the rune system coming with that.
Keep it up!!
How do become a Beta tester?? And do you have to level a character up to level 55 or do you create a level 55?
Curious.. do Death Knights start off as level 1 or 55?
Doh.. nm.. he says right at the end he's a third of the way to level 56.
Nice episode. Good going Dorkins.
One suggestion though: studio audience! At least when you're going solo as I think you'd do well playing off someone laughing in the background pretty well.
yeah, they start at 55
cant wate for wotlk !!!
LOVE IT
NICE!!! DK's are awsome!! I gotta see more of that!!
A few q's.
1: do u immediatley get to choose ur spec, or get to a certain lvl???
2: i looked on videos coming up this week, and i didnt see an Alexis wrapup. Are the wrapups gone, or just for this one???
3: Can all races be DK's???
thx Great Vid :)
I can answer that last one. #3.
Yes, all races can be a death knight, because it's a hero class.
Gnome or Tauren DK ftw :D
This so damn awsome i wish i could check it out again for the first time :D
And btw in the next Wrapup give Alexis some smexxyyy death knight costume as well! :)
i think it looks good, same thing will happen like in BC... everyone will make one . like blood elf pallys
Honestly, your video is ok to show complete nubs but it's not interesting to those of us who have prior knowledge of the class.
In addition, some of the commentary is really annoying. lol
