Phaelia Rumors of Death Knight Class Ability

Published on August 3, 2007 by Phaelia

As reported by a supposed Blizzcon attendee (and reposted by Sakura of Shadowmoon, the signature ability of the new Hero Class, the Death Knight:

 

Unholy Embrace

Instant 5 min cooldown
Target is embraced by a silhouette of darkness for 6 seconds, corrupting any healing spells and effects cast upon or currently affecting the target to cause damage for 50% of their healing potential instead of restoring health. Any damage shields cast upon or currently affecting the target will also be instantly consumed, dealing 50% of their absorption potential in damage. Once afflicted with Unholy Embrace, the target cannot be afflicted with Unholy Embrace again for 1 minute.

It is possible that this information is false as an article recently posted to WoWInsider.com specifically stated that there was no information in the demo related to the Death Knight class. Information that has been released concerning this class has also stated that it won’t use Mana, Rage, or Energy so the image posted by Baldahr from Shadowmoon may be little more than a convincing fake:

If it is, Arag0rn will have infuriated many players of the Druid class, myself included. If it isn’t … well, I guess we can just rename Lifebloom to LifeBOOM.

    Hey, look at the bright side, lifebloom lasts 7 seconds, so, you will atleast get one tick off first, if not, you get the final tick for healing :)
    It will be worse against direct healing spells though, among the healer classes, I guess druids suffer the least.

    Unfortunately, Druids would be the most adversely effected by this ability. A Paladin, Shaman, or Priest can simply opt not to heal the person afflicted. But a Druid — who relies upon keeping HoTs stacked on their target for healing — have no control over the fact that the afflicted target is taking incredible damage from her HoTs and must rely upon the person in question to recognize they have the debuff and to quickly remove any and all Heals over Time (especially Lifebloom which will explode in 6 seconds or less).

    To early to say anything now really. It will just be like those mental duels my PvP horny teenage mage always do. To many unknown factors. Though I see it more like a 6 second execute. You apply it so that the target cannot receive healing, new spells and abilities may counter it in WotIK. Though, concerning HoT’s you can always make a dispell macro. Make it a red button :)

Hey, Stormwalker! Great to hear from you! Our little sprout is growing fast, but don’t call him “little” when he’s around or he’s sure to tell you “I a little bit big!” :-)

Stormwalker
I…I…kinda miss you and your Druidic writings of old. Good to see you’re still around, busy with RL. The little sproutling looks a little bigger now! Regards, Stormwalker, of old.

Over two years later and this is still relevant and so very helpful. I hope you are having a blast with your little sprout, who’s probably running all over the place now. =D
