WOTLK Alpha leak site:

This has a lot of cool stuff including screen shots, patch notes, videos, new spells ([INCLUDING WARLOCKS 'DEMON FORM']).

From what I just read, us druids are going to be a force to be reckonned with, and warriors are going to hurt more too!
=)



...But ofc, druids wont be around for long, Im certainly making a DK asap.
-AOE
-Fear(death coil)
-Summoned ghouls and maggots
-DPS
-2 Handed tanking
-Plate wearing
-Self heal spells
-Anti heal spells (on enemy)

basically, imagine the entire world of warcraft blended up, poured into a smoothy, frozen, chizzled into an evil looking paladin, and brought to life by the souls of murloc orphans.

Had a go on a private host (which i dont normally do but wanted to have a look )

There three specs are pretty useful:

----------------------------
Blood- Focus's on High melee output and draining life when attacking, as well as dealing more damage per disease the enemies have.
*Ideal for Solo-PvE, and DPS PvP.

Notable talents:
-"Rune blade"? or something, this summons a sword to fight with you and mimics attacks that you perform (Lasts longer per rune power)
~this is end tree (Rune Blade)
-*Cant remember name*, this is a 3 part talent that gives 10% per point (30%) to summon a maggot out of a honour/xp bearing target. These have little health and little aggro but damage they deal is returned as life for the DK.
-----------------------------
Frost- This focus's on slowing the targets attack, run, cast speed and basically enchants the weapon weilder to do frost damage also slowing them. It has LOTS of cool armor and threat increase as well. This tree is also better from distance fighting than the others, imagine a shamans "shock" spells, it has a few of these (all frost variation). Some slow cast and interrupt and silence, some slow or immobilize the target.
*Ideal for tanking in parties where heals are readily available.

Notable Talents:
-*Cant remember* but this 5 part talent gives 50%! extra armor contribution from armor! and, its about middle tree if not earlier.
-"Frozen Runeblade"? i think, this is like the rogues poison's except there are no reagents and it imbues frost power to the weapon giving a chance to slow them and doing damage bonus's.
-"super awesome cone of cold", basically this is a 1 point end talent spell that damages and freeze/stuns all targets in a cone in front of the death knight with some other effects that i cant remember but made me go 'woaaahhhh'.
-----------------------------
Unholy- This is my favourite. This helps the summoning of ghouls by making them stronger and reducing CD. It has lots of attacks that disease the enemy making it a good off spec for either of the other to if they are your favourite choice.
This is similar to the demonology spec of warlocks, and focus's on strengthening your ghouls and shizmo like that. It also has some nice AOE damaging shadow spells, as well as a anti-magic shield, which when applied protects the DK from 70% of the damge from the next spell.
*EASILY the best spec for arena PVP. they also have a nice spell which teleports the target in front of you. "GET OVER HERE!!" kind of style, teleport them, freeze them in place, summon ghouls, disease them, laugh... (AND THEY HAVE A REVERSE HEALING SPELLLL! )

Notable Talents:
-"Summon Gargoyle", Says it all, now when your kick ass zombies you can have a fat stone gargoyle to .
-*Cant remember*, Once you are dead, you stay alive as a zombie for 15 seconds, allowing ultimate pwnszroz.

ALSO, the best part of this spec is that when you kill an enemy, if you have the right reagents, you can resurrect friendly or hostile NPC's or players and they will become zombies, if they are friendly players, they get to control that zombie for the duration of ressurection.


The server i was on never gave me the use of summons as it was still alpha stage, but even then, I could see and feel the potential of this spec.
-----------------------------

SO
soloing: Blood/frost.
group tanking: Frost/unholy.
pvp arena: Unholy/frost.
pvp bg: Unholy/blood.
healing: Get some bandages ready .



Just ask if you have any questions.
