so we all know they'll be a ga-gillion little lvl 55 death knights running around when WOTLK's out. so my question is what class is going to be able to completely obliterate the death knight class? cuz thats what i'm rolling. i mean i feel like the majority of classes have their "thorn in the side class" (rogues for clothies, etc. etc.) so what's the death knights bane of existence gonna be?
I'm fairly certain that the best counter to death knights will be rogues. With the ability to cloak out of their diseases, evasion melee hits, and stunlock them (They can be blind during icebound fortitude, so its not a problem), I think rogues will be able to control death knights fairly well

Shaman with a
Disease Totem
is gonna have an easier time than, say, a Druid -- what with
Degeneration
undoing those OP HOTs.

Actually what alot of people dont understand is that there will NOT be a ton of Death Knights running around as soon as WotLK comes out. The DK class is a hero class meaning, you have to unlock it first but getting a normal class to level 80 and completing a certain, VERY extensive quest chain... IMO I doubt there will be a single deathknight in the first week.
Uhm go to these two sites and then click edit =]

So yeah there WILL be a ALOT of DK's at the beginning of next expansion because the quest chain being given to unlock the DK class is given somewhere around 55-70 as stated by Blizz in a blue post.
Next time lets not pass off that bul!@#$ as fact unless you have something to back it up, don't want to confuse the lil' ones now do we.
Oh and yeah I think rogues, frost mages, and shamans might do well against DK's. Just because =].

Umm Blizzard confirmed about 9 months ago that they scrapped this idea. Where people are still getting this information from,boggles me.
As for the "Death Knight Bane" Shamans or Rogues take that position. Lucky me,i got 70s on both those classes. Although a Pally wont necessarily be the Anti Class some of its spells counter DK's quite well. Cleanse counters Plague Strike very nicely. Exorcism negates Raise Dead pretty well and Holy Wrath should work excellent against Army of the Dead. Much what you'd expect from the Death Knights exact opposite. =P

That information was stated in August of 2007,not very up to date. You also read that post wrong.
There is no questchain to unlock the Death Dnight,merely have a level 55+ character and there you go.
If i sound like an a-hole,im sorry. Its just its been almost a year since announcement...Kinda rediculous.

uh a warlock... because a warlock can completely own every other class in the game... so that would be a safe bet.
Anti-magic shell + Bone Armor + Shadow Resistance = LoL locks
And rogues dominate locks, you have no idea what you're talking about

Must be the same place from where one of my guildys got the "
you got to sacrifice one of your characters, loosing him forver
" idea from lol
He reckons it was from Wow-europe.com/wotlk section of the official site , its never been that, some people did some poor interpertring (sp) and "assumed" they had to lose a character who in turn changes into a DK.
Rogue and shaman sound a good anti class, as mentioned - anti disease, limiting the dmg they do plus some abilities actually need the diseases to be on a target to be effective. Just depends if the disease totem can keep up with the dk re-applying em fast or if they got talents to reduce the chance to be dispelled.
Paladins clense will also remedy the diseases no doubt, feel sorry for the druids with that anti HOT ability lol seems quite harsh
