Let me play an allied race DK please!

Bolvar can rally them to the cause. I really want to play a HM tauren DK with black antlers and fur!

Allied races wouldn’t throw themselves out to be killed and raised as DKs by Bolvar. Also allied races do not even know what the Lich King is as he(LK) never went to Broken Isles. Only the void elves would know and they HATE him.

A year ago, I’d have argued ‘no’ because it’s not lore-friendly to the playable DK’s story of being raised by the Lich King during WOTLK.

But then I realized that regardless, the allied races are questing through all the old content anyways
 So that pretty much destroyed my original argument.

It would make sense to reraise one of the champions of Azeroth though wouldn’t it?

Besides that it makes even less sense for allied races to start at level 20 doesn’t it?

start sarcasm


no, lore wise they missed the events that lead to creation of them.

Now, jsut forget that my level 74 void elf is actually in northrend right now to see an in power lich king. She has also fought at such historic battles as the battle for andorhal. same battle that for unboosted players the person who freed them also fought this battle.

Not too bad for a void elf ostracized by the “normal” blood elves and living on a planet on the edge of the void the whole time this in fact happened.

end sarcasm.

DK’s need to be opened up. It be nice if the allieds got “real” tank classes. Not hunters with pets, not warriors, etc.

DH’s would be nice to see open up as well.

No, but the Dark Irons, Kul Tirans, and Zandalari would’ve thrown themselves out to be killed and raised as DKs by Arthas. And it’s incredibly stupid as a design decision that none of them can be playable DKs.

Lorewise they aren’t, just like lorewise the Alliance aren’t raiding Uldir. It’s a gameplay-story segregation thing.

In reality, all the Nightborne, HM, VE and Lightforged start at 110, but if Blizz actually did that nobody would roll anything else.

We can fix all of the lore reasons with magic. Sheesh.
Mag’har and Highmountain tauren woukd make some awesome dk’s.

I’ll live or unlive either way. /shrug

Void elf dk’s please Blizz :pray::pray::pray::pray:

Mag’har orcs should have had access to DKs because of this:

There were Mag’har orcs in Northrend and they died to the Lich King. And before you say: “But Tovi! Those weren’t AU Mag’har!” That’s fine. DK Worgens are not from Gilneas, Goblin DKs are not from Kezan and guess what? Mag’har DKs can be from Outland and not AU Draenor.

I don’t care what Alliance allied race is their counterpart. DiD or KT are both old enough races to be around for the Lich King’s reign.

Only cool gnomes can be DKs.

12

Mag’har npcs already have access to it the Island Expedition horde group has a Mag’dar Blood DK.

Dark Iron
Zandalari
Mag’dar
For sure should have DKs but I’m skeptical for Kul Tiran.

13

Yeah remove lore concerns regarding all race class combos, I totally agree.

Void elf death knights,
Gnome druids,
Gnome demon hunters,

Those are three I’d like to play.

what would be the point? you would still have the same look as a deathknight with the same undead skin color and icy glowing eyes

15

The same point as picking any race: the racials.

16

Gnome demon hunters

Practically already playable if you do what I do to mimic them. Although I also want to add that goblin demon hunters would also be pretty cool.

To the OP. Consider trying to RP a dk. Maybe it could be possible to make a HM Tauren DK look more convincingly like a high mountain rather than a regular Tauren?

17

except you’re not picking new races, you’re picking new skin colors

18

And new racials.

19

I could see a case for Dark Irons being DKs and Zandalari too.

20

So level a allied race warrior to level 80 then covert it to dk. Then problem solved.
