LOL @ MaddlLama you're very right.
ESPECIALLY when you play a BE Pally....
Mister T,
Apparantly you need to get to lvl 80 and do a huge quest chain to 'unlock' the DK class.
And when you create a DK, you start at lvl 50 rather than at lvl 1.
Or so I've heard - I could be very wrong on that.
But you're right. Another 10 levels to grind away? Considering how long it took to get from 60-70 when compared with 50-60, the grind from 70-80 is just going to be insanely LONG!. I would suggest leveling with 1 or more people at the same time. That way you kill stuff faster, and lvl at the same time, and you finish your quests faster....
Oh, and another thing. A new profession.... Inscribing I think. Like enchanting/JC and puts buffs on gear by inscribing stuff. But ANOTHER profession? I think blizzard is going to have to let us have 3 professions! Choosing between the amount we have is already hard enough.
No point in farming Kara and heroics for better gear now.... may as well just grind for items to sell for exceptionally high prices when this new profession appears...
