World of Warcraft: The War Within has so fully embraced the Death Knight class fantasy that I think I might finally be cured of my alt obsession

Death Knight.

Nobody could ever accuse me of being focused when it comes to World of Warcraft. It's a game with a mountain of distractions, and I've got a stable full of alts that I can't stop playing. Sure, sometimes I just use them to run legacy raids after my main has been locked out (gotta get those transmogs), but there are so many appealing classes and specs that I've never been able to settle on one. The War Within may have just changed that. 

Hero talents are Blizzard's latest attempt to spice up the extra 10 levels added with an expansion. Instead of just expanding each spec's existing talent tree, Blizz has introduced more discrete—and smaller—trees with talents that you can really build a character around. One of the common threads within these trees is the emphasis on the class fantasy, and that is no more apparent than with the edgelord Death Knight.
