[WotLK] DK Creation In 3.3.5

Having looked through a bunch of class guides and whatnot I think I’ve finally settled on maining DK in the coming WotLK Classic release. It was a long process, from spriest to shaman to moonkin to rogue to moonkin to Paladin before that but we got there eventually.

With that said, I’ve done some basic googling but couldn’t find what I was looking for and can’t remember for the life of me. So would any of y’all happen to know off hand if DK creation was limited to the server where you had your 55+ character? Was that already removed by 3.3.5 or was that in a later patch?

I’m curious if they’ll be available for leveling in pre-patch as well, but to my knowledge that’s something we’re waiting on Blizzard to confirm.

Appreciate y’all’s time and any wisdom you have to share on the issue.

The lvl 55 requirement will only be for the “fresh” wotlk realms. You will be able to lvl DK in prepatch. They’ve already confirmed that.

The conditions for DK creation have changed for Wrath Classic.

Recent news, or someone less lazy than me, will detail the requirements.

Off the top of my head I think you can create a DK as a new player on non-fresh realms

  • The Rise of Death Knights – Available to both factions and starting at level 55, Death Knights—World of Warcraft’s first hero class—harness the powers of darkness to help combat the evil that threatens Azeroth. While Death Knights are limited to one per server and require a level 55 character on that server to create, in Wrath Classic, we will be bypassing that requirement for a player’s first Death Knight.

Ayy, that’s good news. Now I suppose all that’s left is choosing between alliance and horde. Mankrik vs. Pagle.

I appreciate y’all taking the time.

Focus more on race choice. Faction that follows isn’t really as important. Everyone is the same mix of dumb and elitist on both sides.

Let me know what you decide here yeah? I like hearing other people’s choice of race and class.


Actually it’s not accurate for me to say faction isn’t as important.

There are some things about either faction that sway me a bit:

  • Mount style availability, not including mount types that require immense effort
  • Zone theming
  • How the races look, yours and the people around you

I have a ton of 70s on both horde and alliance. I ended up going back to Alliance for Wrath because I miss playing my gnomes.

Right now I’m stuck between Human and Dranei for Alliance and Blood Elf against Undead for Horde.

Not super concerned with EMFH since I won’t be PvPing, so for the most part on alliance it comes down to faster rep or the hit rating and “the waggle”, for horde it’s just whichever I think looks cooler at the time tbh.
