The Stoppable Force

So you’re a DPS death knight, eh? Rejoice! The good news is, you won’t be doing much rep grinding for gear! The bad news is, it’s because most of the factions don’t have anything worth grinding for!

Hurray!

Alliance Vanguard/Horde Expedition: Rating:
The only reason to bother to grind reputation with these factions is if you’re [...]

Just a quick note to add that my guide to quit randomly mashing buttons and learn to kill things with your Death Knight (or for a less-unwieldy title, the guide to lrn2deathknight) has been updated to incorporate both reader suggestions and comments as well as my own experiences. You may want to take a second [...]

* As you can guess from the previous post, I did in fact finish the Wrathgate chain (at the same time as Might of Dragonblight, much like Fim). That was awesome! I have not, however, done the quest that immediately follows it. So shhh. I know how it goes, though (it’s hard to not get [...]

Stop is:

M:TrDK74-Un, Alt:UnWl70-Demo, BeHu44-BM, TrPr43-Disc, S:Feathermoon-US-RP, G:Fatalis+R, Pvp-, Pve++, Y2005.8, Y2008.1, D++, Ori-ZG, TBC-Mags, WLK-AN, L+, C:DK++, WL++, RP , V0.1

What’s all that mean? First check out Typhoon Andrew’s post on WoW Code, then check out a few others, such as Isisxotic’s, Siha’s, Andrea’s, and Larisa’s.

This is the Acherus Deathcharger. Many of you are no doubt familiar with it by now; this is the devil-horned horse that all Death Knights come out of their starting area with, even if it did start as a mere colt when you stole it. There’s a lot to like about the Acherus Deathcharger: [...]

Yes, yes, I know, it’s turning into Death Knight Week here at TSF. Well, what can I say? I’ve got them on the mind.

Anyone looking at Zulfon’s build (she’s at level 72, so obviously all the talent points aren’t available yet) might find it a bit unorthodox, so I thought I’d run down each tree [...]

Ever wished you could turn your character’s helmet or cloak on or off via the keyboard instead of fishing through interface options for it? Turns out it’s pretty easy, you’ll just have to do a little macro fiddling.

First, prepare your macros. Make one, call it whatever you like (I suggest something helmet-related), and give it [...]

Okay, so this one’s actually a few days old, but it was just so pretty I couldn’t bear not to include it. This is the freshly new-to-Northrend Zulfon, parachuting out of a siege tank. No, I don’t know why the siege tanks eject you several hundred yards upwards with a parachute. I blame goblin [...]

Current gold total: around 800 gold. I think I’ll just keep saving up gold and keep Zulfon’s feet on the ground for now. Here’s why:

Flight skill: 800 gold.
Epic flight skill: 5000 gold.
Cold weather flying skill: 1000 gold.
Winged Steed of the Ebon Blade: 1000 gold minus faction discount, and it doesn’t look like a cooked chicken [...]
