Where and when will death knights and demon hunters start?

Are they starting at level 10 like allied races?

Will all death knights use allied race DK start or start pre wotlk then get thrown into BFA?

Why was the new DK starting zone not designed for pre BFA like the new standard starting zone is

Currently in Alpha, they will start at level 8 and get to do their own intro quests that will bring them to level 10 to do the normal levelijg experience.

That seems like a really long starting zone for only 2 levels that early…especially when making a level 1 doing Exiles reach gets you level 10

On the alpha, a player went through the dh starting experience and came out level 15ish. They made a feedback thread, I’ll try and find it.

Edit: Found it.

That’s cool and good to know. Was hoping they got a little more of a boost for doing their intros.

I’m so excited to leveling some alts again come live. 10 toons all prepped and ready to go!

Keep in mind it’s alpha, fine tuning will be done. Going from 8 to 15 while mobs stay at 10 probably isn’t intended. Though that is a lot of quests to just cover two levels when non-hero class, core race characters go from 1 to 10 in presumably a single zone. Gutting exp gains for DHs and DKs just to keep them within the 8-10 range will just be a kick in the teeth though. Why bother with the introductory experiences at the point?

fine-tuning exp gains (as in, reducing gains by 1/2 to 1/4) shouldn’t hinder the experience too much. Especially when no other classes (beyond DH/DK) end their zone with blues in each slot.
