Death Knight to be the only hero class in Wrath of the Lich King - Image 1Players have been asking if there will be more than one hero class introduced in World of Warcraft's upcoming expansion, Wrath of the Lich King. So far Blizzard has given word that adding another hero class might not be a good move at this time.

There are many factors to consider when adding a new class, especially ones that can be considered "epic" or "heroic." Blizzard Poster/ Community Manager spoke about this and the possibilities of adding another heroic class in the game:

We are thinking at current that any future hero class additions will be made in expansions further along the line so that we can control just how many classes the game has and continue to work on attaining balance as we add them.


Based on Nethaera's response, it doesn't look like we'll be getting any additions (aside from the Death Knight) any time soon. WoW players are going to have to wait a bit if they want to get their hands on a Blademaster or a Demon Hunter. However, the future does look bright since they are planning to add more hero classes as more expansions are released so it's only a matter of time.

i think it is retarded, the game has been out for this long and the only "hero class" they are putting in is a deathknight, i think they should put in alot of hero classes so there isnt just one at a time and make people wait for ever, blizzard is lazy, and i think it is also stupid if anyone can just make a deathnight after 80, first of all. deathkights are fallen paladins, so i tink u should have to get one to 80 than sacrifice him to get a deathknight, second they work for arthas and the litchking, not the horde or alliance it seams like blizzard is lazy and messing up the story, every class should be able to branch of from a choice of two hero classes, at level 80, not have to wait years for each class to have a hero classes.

ok you say blizzard is retarded for making death knights the only hero class thus far and that it's stupid that all classes whose species is available to death knights but if only paladins could do it than horde would only have one species to do a class that was just open in an expansion, and the amount of time it would take to get a new paladin to 80 is unbearable for people who made a great character already and don't want to go through making a new character when blizzard is willing to invest extra time making the death knight compatible with every class. plus if they can make all classes into death knights then they probably aren't the lazy asses you said they were for not making a new side. the idea of the game is that you are a character fighting the other faction and if you are allowed to make a new class you should be damn happy that you only have to go a couple of miles to get the expansion when the employees get up every morning to work you probably just wake up at noon add some hostess to your fat ass and sit on it untill midnight and then sleep and start all over. everyone else is excited about the expansion but for you all that means is you can ***** about it. (don't bother replying i don't even know the name of this site, *****)

content every two years! only content worth playing requires an intently dedicated guild to run faction, run arena, attune you, etc. they need to add content sooner, serious content, and make available heroic classes for all and much sooner. they will loose their following as other games come to market because they are lazy and only dedicate the game to "you running a long long time with other guildies" for year after year, before you can achieve any measure of anything. totally ridiculous!

personaly i love wow and i think the wrath of the lich king will be awsome but i think blizzard have made it take to long to get anywher just so they can get your money one thing i think they need to adress is transport AND THE PRICE OF THE EPIC FLYING MOUNTS. i agree with m'lady wow is going to lose its following if they dont adress the travel time and they need more new content coming out every month. overall i love wow ROLL ON THE WRATH OF THE LICH KING.
