Plus you know...with the Souls actually tied to the truncheons, that means the bodies could be blown up and all Gul'dan would have to do is make sure the weapon survived, then use it raise the DK right back up with a new corpse.
Edit: i still hold that the G1 DK's are superior to the Lich King's version...but then again, that's just me.

Nah, G1 DKs are just lesser versions of Liches. The Truncheons serving as their primitive version of a Phylactery.
G2 DKs don't have that weakness, they can emblazon their runes on any sword, and don't have any need for phylacteries. They're also much less squishy and fragile, and their necromantic powers are not to be underestimated.

Yeah but if you tear a G2 Death knight apart and burn the body, they aren't coming back. The only way to physically stop the G1 version was to destroy the Truncheon in addition to the body.

Well hyper, ask and thou shalt receive.
I'm Mister T, and this is my night elf

As for the blindfold-that-isn't, its not really a blindfold, its either war paint (the only one available to males) or its a burn. Hard to tell, but its not really any form of blindfold.

Once you beat a G1 DK though, shouldn't you
have
their Truncheon?
Precisely. That's the inherent weakness that makes G1 DKs inferior to liches.
A lich can store their soul in a phylactery, and store it in a far away safer place, and as long as the phylactery isn't destroyed, it can come back to life. A G1 DK other other hand NEEDS the truncheon to even be able to fight.(##RESPBREAK##)520##DELIM##Rankkor##DELIM##

Dem abs. Dem abs. /nosebleed
And now you know how I felt when I saw the new female orc model. Specially that back.
And yeah, that does look a bit like a burn. Not quite smooth enough to be warpaint, but definitely not solid enough to be a blindfold. Huh. Interesting direction to take that face imo.
Its interesting they added some scars on the face that weren't on the original model, look at the area above the upper lips.
But thanks Rankorr! :D
Anytime (*^_^*)

Could you show the new nelf fe facial tats and hairstyles, in particular the topknot, braid-down-the-spine, long hair and blade face tat.

Thanks for the DK info. Didn't knew some of it.
So you NEED a
sacrified Orc Warlock
+
dead Human Knight
+
strong dark magic
and then you'll raise a G1 DK. Gotcha.
Besides Gul'dan (that's in chains and working as a slave to the Iron Horde), who else would be able to do this? And how many Warlocks would be around if these dark magics are somewhat forbidden because Garrosh is one of the top-orcs of the Iron Horde?

Nope. He's freed quite literally FIVE minutes after we start the Tanaan intro. Its one of my few complaints about that bit. But yeah, he escapes, and Kadghar spends the rest of the expansion hunting him down, but so far he's out there somewhere, plotting his revenge.
And how many Warlocks would be around if these dark magics are somewhat forbidden because Garrosh is one of the top-orcs of the Iron Horde?
Lots and lots. For starters the entire Stormreaver clan led by gul'dan has fully embraced fel magic and they're all green, but other clans have also joined him to form the Shadow Council, including the bonechewer, Kil'sorrow, and the twilight hammer clans. And then there's the Sargerei, a rogue section of the draenei that decides velen was a fool for refusing sargeras and they wont make the same mistake, so they become legion worshipers.
There's lots and lots and lots of warlocks on draenor.

I'll try to get some today, but its gonna be hard, the new build triggered something unstable on the beta, and now nobody can stay online for more than 10 minutes tops. Getting disconnected every 10 min is very aggravating :S
Still, if I can stay online long enough to show the customization options I'll upload them quick.

We free him? O_o That sounds as stupid as if Garrosh would let he go free... >_<

So there's a lot of DK reagents in draenor, and someone who knows how to do it and have the power (and the recklessness) to do it is on free roam mode... sweeeeeeeeeet...

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend."
Gul'dan and the iron horde are far from friends so we want to use gul'dan to fel-blast iron horde to cinders. IIRC.

Not quite. Ok this is somewhat a spoiler so here comes the spoilerbox.
Garrosh has enslaved Gul'dan and the shadow council to power up the dark portal, we NEED that portal closed and since we only bring a small horde/alliance task force of less than 30 people through, we don't have the man power to tear it down to cincers, so the quickest way to shut it down is to unplug the batteries.
We do so, but in the process the batteries (Teron, Cho'gall and Gul'dan) all escape. We don't do it to help gul'dan (heavens forbid) but because we needed that portal shut down or else the iron horde would step through and invade azeroth.

Actually no. This is a case where the enemy of my enemy is still my enemy :P we only free gul'dan to shut down the dark portal, but we spend as much time hunting him down as we do hunting the iron horde, so its really a Melee-A-Trois of factions clashing together for supremacy.
Side 1 is made of the Horde (Which brought with them the Sunsworn Elves, and recruits the Frostwolf Clan and Laughing Skull clan) and the alliance (Which recruits the different draenei factions to help out, including the Rangari, Auchenai, and Shatt'ari). Their goal is to simply stop the iron horde to protect azeroth from them.
Side 2 is made of the Iron Horde, which is composed of the clans: Blackrock, Warsong, Burning Blade, Shattered Hand, Bleeding Hollow, Thunderlord, Shadowmoon, and remnants of the Dragonmaw. Their goal is world domination, on draenor, azeroth, and any other world. Create a perpetually-moving warmachine that never stops conquering other worlds.
And Side 3 is the shadow council forces, made out of clans: Stormreaver, Twilight Hammer, Bonechewer, Kil'sorrow, and Sargerei. Their goal is to spread the chaos and destruction of the legion everywhere.
And finally, there's "unaffiliated". Enemies that have no goal, and are just there as filler, these include those sapient plants in gorgrond, the high arakkoa in Arak, and the remnants of the Gorian Empire (Ogres)

and then you'll raise a G1 DK. Gotcha.Not sacrificed; they were killed by Doomhammer because the Shadow Council was the power behind Blackhand and were traitors to the orcish race. And it's more; Soul of a dead warlock, a handy corpse(the Knights in question were the bodyguards of Llane) and necromancy mixed with Fel; then you get a G1 DK.

Thank you Rank. I Like that there isn't a screw-nut for ponytail/hairband or that one look like they shaved their head a week ago with the braid/Loose tail.
Charge, pummel, heroic strike and battle shout. All a warrior needs :P

lol, nah, that's just a premade I created on the lvl 100 pvp server that I didn't bothered to choose any spec or talents for since I made her only to screenshot her hairstyles and tattoos.
I actually enjoy a lot the changes they've made to Fury warriors. Though apparently most warriors disapprove of them. I dunno, since I don't have recount on the beta, I have no way to know if I'm doing a decent DPS or not. I just know the rotation is a lot more comfortable, and less dependent on RNG to work.
U_U they've gimped a lot blood DKs however. My god-like self-healing was knocked down several notches.
Previously, when leveling as blood, I was utterly and completely immortal, mobs weren't able to bypass the blood-shield, thus I ended all fights at 100% HP, and mowed down enemies without even ruffling my hair.
Now? healing is down, WAY down without rune tap (which now reduces damage for 3 seconds instead of healing) and bloodworms. Death Strike's healing is also WAY down, and the blood-shield provided by it went down from 200% of the amount healed, to a paltry 30%.
The loss of Vengeance has also lowered damage a ton, and on top of that we no longer have Heartstrike, so now I have to rely on the less powerful blood boil even for single-target.
When it comes to mobs in the out world, I used to chain-pull 20+ mobs at lvl 89 in Dread Wastes and watch them all crumble to nothing without even scratching my armor. I tried the same feat with less than 8 mobs in Nagrand at lvl 100 and saw them beat me to a bloody pulp.
U_U this is a sad sad day for blood death knights everywhere.

I wonder if they'll buff up Blood Boil to deal a bit more damage. It absolutely wrecks at lower levels compared to Heart Strike. (Also I wish they'd make glyph recipes drop a little more often. Farming them is terrible and I want my Festering Blood glyph so I can print money).

Bloody hell. Well, how's the other classes? Any new favorites? I have yet to decide on what to use the lvl 90 bost on when they release WoD, currently I'm leaning warrior, though no idea on what race or t-mog to go with.
