DK return of Raise Dead

Classes Death Knight
1

Hi, I was hoping anyone with a good memory and maybe someone with the SL Alpha access could help me with a question regarding Raise Dead being baseline for all DKs.

I think Raise Dead was always a short duration summon on non Unholy DKs and was an always active pet for Unholy, but I’m not sure.

I want to focus on playing my DK again but not if its going to be a pet class with an always active pet (I’m planning to play as Blood mainly and Frost as off spec).

Can anyone tell me what the ability was like when all DKs had it, and what its like in SL Alpha?

Thank you

Your ghoul would stay around for 1 minute. Did not have many abilities though. I believe just a basic slash ability.

It also doesn’t tank for you like a Hunter pet. You don’t have to worry about it as Blood or Frost. I don’t even recall if Blood or Frost had any real control over the ghoul.

For Blood and Frost Raise Dead is a 2 minute cooldown that summons a ghoul for 1 minute. You don’t have control over it, but you can detonate it with Sacrifical Pact to deal damage and heal yourself for 25% of max HP.
