User:Lemona1d/Hero Specialization

=Introduction=

A new addition to World of Warcraft in the Council of One expansion, hero specializations are a new feature and player progression system. Unlocked once a player reaches maximum level - 105 - the system is designed to bring new life into existing classes in a meaningful and impactful manner. Players don't just freely unlock a fourth specialization; rather players will grow into their new role throughout the course of multiple patches throughout the expansion, earning substantial rewards uniquely for their character, cosmetic and otherwise.

=Death Knight=

Chaos
Chaos death knights forgo the tradition of melee combat in favor of channeling deadly spells from a safe distance. Deeply intertwined in the spirit world, those who take up the call of the Chaos death knight will be subject to their fair bit of torment in order to harness the energy of death to sow discord throughout the battlefield, striking down enemies with both new found black magic mixed with the death knight's traditional diseases.
