Inscription is definitely a new profession that high level characters are given the opportunity to learn, which along with the ability to create a powerful new Death Knight character. It’s a means by which characters can actually change and customize their spells and abilities, which means that cool-down timers, attack ratings and Area of Effect can be altered for a spell within a character’s spell book.
While it appears that only one inscription will be allowed to be on a spell at one time, their goal is not to create one or two all-powerful inscriptions that will be used above all others, but to give players a variety of valid choices as to how to modify their spells. The example he gives is that of Frost Nova. One player might choose an inscription that gave their nova a longer range, while another might choose one that would lengthen the duration of the root associated with it.
With the new dungeons, instances and a revolutionary Player vs. Player zone in Northrend, these additions make World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King an intriguing new addition to the epic game play that has already made Blizzard world famous. With the advent of the new World of Warcraft expansion, Wrath of the Lich King come a bevy of new features, a new continent, new enemies and new factions. However, the new hero class being included Death Knight is the most interested and exciting addition to the game. This is the first hero class added to the game and also the first new class at all since the game launched in 2004. For this reason, it is one of the most exciting add-ons since the game first launched.
In the game, the hero class is an addition that works for only the highest level players, those that have already completed the rest of the content in Wrath of the Lich King and reached level 80. Once a player has reached level 80, they are given leave to embark on a particular quest. This quest is similar to the epic mount quest Warlock’s were given when they reached level 60 back before the Burning Crusade expansion. However, this time around, players are questing for an entirely new character class. Once the quest is complete though, characters can unlock the Death Knight as a character class and start a new character with that class.
The Death Knight is unique by reason that it starts at level 60 already, which means that most of the players do not need to grind the lower levels to build up their Death Knights. Instead, they are at once given access to high level content to show off their powerful new character. The Death Knight is solely relegated for endgame users and high level characters, which is unlike the Draenei and Blood Elf additions of the Burning Crusade expansion.
For the most part, the Death Knight is unique in almost every way. The Death Knight has a rune sword, which is given its own special bar, instead of the usual rage, energy and mana meters that every other class utilizes. On this sword, players are given the ability to etch up to six runes from three different categories. At length, the mixture and combination of the runes decide the abilities that the sword will learn. The ability used sets off a cool-down timer that will countdown until they can be used again.
