Death Knights will soon be descending upon World of Warcraft with the soon to launch expansion pack World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King. They're a very unique class that doesn't use mana, rage, or energy but instead use Runes and Runic Power. This is an entirely new system with very few parallels to anything that is currently in the game. That's why we've got a large and descriptive guide to how Runes and Runic Power work along with how to best utilize them from maximum efficency. So be ready to rock out with your Death Knight come November 13th with our handy Runes and Runic Power Guide!
The configuration of the runes cannot be changed permanently. If it was possible to change how many of what type of rune you had then you'd see Frost Death Knights with six Frost Runes running about all crazy like throwing frosty waves of beer at everyone for impressive damage, err I mean frozen death. Well, I hear some of the Gnome brew has a similar effect Anyway, some abilities can temporarily convert one rune into another to allow for a little bit of strategy. More on that down below.
Our Death Knight Rune and Runic Power Guide is a great source for aspiring Death Knights.
