Hero Class is a class derived from the base classes, but with more specialization and somewhat tied to Warcraft lore. The idea of a hero class is taken from the Warcraft III hero units.

Main article: Death Knight (hero class)

At Blizzcon 2007, Blizzard announced that the Death Knight hero class will be a new addition in the Wrath of the Lich King expansion pack. Nethaera posted on the new Wrath of the Lich King forums that the current plans are one new hero class per expansion pack.

To become a Death Knight, you must be level 55 or 60 and you need to complete a quest chain. All classes and races are able to complete this chain, and can be done by all kinds of players, even non-raiders. Once the quest is done, you unlock the ability to create a new Death Knight character of any race. The starting level of the character will start at a high level, somewhere from level 55-70, which has not yet been decided. Death Knights do not have a Mana, Rage or Energy bar; instead they use Runes.

The Death Knight has two roles: tanking and damage dealing. They do not use shields while tanking, instead using two-handed weapons or dual-wielding.
