One of the most anticipated new features of the Wrath of the Lich King is the introduction of the Hero class, and its first incarnation, the Death Knight. Players who have a level 55 character or higher can create a new level 55 Death Knight of any race. The playing experience is very different, starting with its initial alliance with the Lich King. The Death Knight then gains talent points through quests and essentially grows and develops in its own zone. After honing its skills, the Death Knight will then join the ranks of the Alliance or the Horde and fill either the DPS or tank role in groups.
