You want to play a Death Knight or Demon Hunter with WoW: Shadowlands? Then you should create them today.
With the big Pre-Patch 9.0 in World of Warcraft, a lot will change. One of the most important innovations is the level squish, which reduces all character levels and values. However, there is another change that mainly affects Death Knights and Demon Hunters. Anyone who wants to play one of these two classes should start now to save time.
What happens with the Pre-Patch? With Patch 9.0, the leveling experience for Death Knights and Demon Hunters changes drastically. They no longer start at level 98 (Demon Hunter) or 55 (Death Knight), but much lower. With the Pre-Patch, both classes start at level 8, right after the intro experience of Exile’s Reach. They must then – like all other classes – complete almost the entire leveling path up to level 60.
What should you do? Anyone planning to play a Demon Hunter or Death Knight in the near future should create these classes now. Log in with the characters once to ensure they are saved and equipped with their level.
What does this bring? Anyone creating a Death Knight or Demon Hunter now will start at a higher level with Patch 9.0. Because after the level squish, both classes will be somewhat higher since their old starting level will be lowered. If one creates one of the two character classes before the Pre-Patch, their levels will be as follows:
- Death Knights start at level 23
- Demon Hunters begin at 39
In plain language, this means less time spent leveling in Patch 9.0. How far the levels of other characters drop is shown in this list here.
Will you quickly create these two characters? Or are you actually looking forward to leveling them from level 8?
