Arthas shouldn't be on farm status either, but I imagine he will be. It's just wrong, there's a certain amount of hype in the back of your mind that knows that Arthas is just that bad-ass that he can't be killed. When you take away that background part of him and make him just another raid boss you lose essentially the "drama" of the whole storyline.

What makes it worse is that 10 man groups will be able to down Arthas, granted the loot will be much worse than the 25 man version. The whole epic feel of raids is really going away. When it took 40 people to down Nef or Rag it really felt epic, but killing Illidan with 25? gimme a break.

Only releasing ONE FUCKING hero class? Well done Blizzard, EPIC FAIL.

Now every Tom, Dick, & Harry that has a level 55 (not hard) is going to re-roll Death Knight and will name their Death Knight with every variation of the aforementioned Raid Boss of WotLK (Arthas).

This is where i'll have to disagree. Remember when alliance could get Shaman and horde could get Paladins? Everyone said that alliance would roll nothing but shaman and horde would roll nothing but Paladins. But look at shaman now, lowest played class in the game i believe. what happened to most people is they got one or the other to 40 and just went back to their mains. I think the same thing will happen with DK's.

Also, the fact that you don't actually have to work at getting the class, just roll anything...get to 55 and bam.

Maybe if Blizzard had done some actual work and figure out that HERO CLASSES are a higher archetype of classes.

I could see Shaman turning into *Hero* Totem Chiefs.
I could see Mages turning into *Hero* Archmages
I could see Warriors turning into *Hero* Blademasters.
I could see Paladins turning into *Hero* Death Knights
Etc etc etc.

Here i disagree again. You know how difficult it would be to balance the game with double the classes(assuming a new hero class for each existing class?). That seems more like a project for a WoW 2 rather than an x-pack. And with the leveling, are you really complaining that you won't have to level DK from 1 to 80? I do think their should be some quest-line to unlock it, but who knows what may happen.

It should have been a prestige thing, level your character to max...set out on an epic class quest to turn yourself into a hero class. (Non-reversible).

I must say i agree this is how it should have been done.


Ill be playing the x-pack, get my guy to 80, see see how things look from there personally.
