The PvP Basics

The PvP Basics So far, for Death Knights, the biggest PvP problem can be summed up in one word: mobility. Most of a Death Knight’s major damage moves require that a person be in melee range. In part, this can be fixed with a quick application of Death Grip.

Blizzard still largely ignores or does very little to curb the immense number of anti-RP players and griefers on RP realms, so the only choice is for legitimate roleplayers to do what they can to insure
