Project Lore

As I said in my last post, I have been putting some time into leveling my level 60ish toons and trying to get them ready for prime time. As I’ve been questing away in Outland there is one thing I can’t seem to get away from, Death Knights! They are everywhere!

I’m not saying this is a bad thing, in fact it has worked to my advantage quite a bit. Leveling my resto-shaman for instance, has been a breeze. I just type “Healer LFG any instance, I will heal all you DKs!!” into general and I have a group together within minutes every time.

The fact of the matter is that DKs can destroy anything in Outland, I’ve experienced it myself by soloing groups quests several levels above me on my own Death Knight. Dare I saw they are a bit overpowered when compared to other classes of that level (I’ll save the max level discussion for later)? While not crazy about playing the class myself, I sure don’t mind riding their coattails through instances and leveling myself that much faster!

It’s not all smiles, however. I’ll admit the DK issue can be a bit problematic, there are of course Horde DKs everywhere, and I don’t stand a chance against them. Also, it does make me miss class diversity a bit, so I hope everything will even out a bit by the time my alts start hitting Northrend.

I know I had heard reports of the DKs running rampant all over Outland when WotLK first dropped, but I would have thought by now things would have calmed down. It appears they haven’t. It begs the questions, is everyone alting on a Death Knight? Or am I just experiencing the second wave of people leveling their DKs after they first geared up their mains?

I can appreciate the new Death Knight craze, but is anyone leveling anything else?
