The Art of War(craft): Dreaming about Death Knight PvP

The Art of War(craft): Dreaming about Death Knight PvP   I know, I know. It’s too early to actually figure out how Death Knights will work in PvP. Humor me for a bit.

So, I decided to give my dungeon-running muscles a rest and go get my quest on in the Howling Fjord. I pick up where I left off before absconding on my dungeon-crawling adventure, the Forsaken outpost of Vengeance Landing. As one might expect from the name, Vengeance Landing is the foothold of Sylvannas Windrunner’s armies in Northrend, and as High Executor Anselm makes very clear when talking to him, they are there for one reason and one reason alone: to destroy Arthas and get their revenge.
