The death knight has the option of three presences: blood, frost and unholy. With specific talents, the death knight can also turn their runes into death runes, which can be used as any type of rune. After a rune is used, it enters a ten-second 'cooldown' period before it can be used again and runic power decays over time when out of combat. The death knight originally had two of each type of rune - blood, frost and unholy - available for use. Instead of utilizing rage, energy or mana for combat resources, a death knight uses a system of runes and runic power (both displayed under the player portrait), which is generated by using runes.

The death knight class is available to all in-game races. Players must complete all the starting area quests in order to join the rest of Azeroth. The class starts without any talent points and must unlock available talent tiers for their level by completing quests in the death knight starting area in Eastern Plaguelands. Newly created death knights begin with a larger set of spells and abilities than new characters of other classes.

Death knights wear plate armor and wield weapons with rune engravings (permanent weapon enhancements), which are achieved through the death knight profession called runeforging by utilizing the runeforge in Acherus. Unholy specialization focuses on poisoning your opponent and sending the player's permanent, controllable pet ghoul to attack the enemy. Frost specializes in control, counters and combination strikes using frost related abilities. The blood specialization focuses on the manipulation of blood, using an enemy's blood against them while using the death knights' blood to benefit themselves. The three death knight specializations are blood, frost and unholy. They are able to fill the tank and damage dealer roles. ĭeath knights are fallen heroes of the Alliance and the Horde, raised by the Lich King to serve as champions of the undead Scourge. Originally, a death knight could only be created if the player previously had a level 55 on that realm but that requirement was removed in late 2014. Hero classes are those that start the game at a higher level than the regular level 1. The death knight is the first 'hero class' introduced in World of Warcraft, and would be the only one available until the introduction of the demon hunter in Legion. The first expansion pack, World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade, raised the maximum level from 60 to 70 and the Wrath of the Lich King raised the level cap from 70 to 80.
