Runeforging - The New Death Knight Skill

18th Jul 2008 08:41 PM GMT | Maticus | 0 comments
Something new for the beta is the Death Knight Skill: Runeforging. It enables Death Knights to imbue their Rune weapon with a special Rune that gives the Death Knight certain benefits, depending on the rune they chose to use.

Death Knights must be at a Rune Forge in Ebon Hold (the floating necropolis where Death Knights start) to be able to carry out this process. Currently, the cost of the Runeforging skills are blank, simply indicating that reagents are needed.

Here are the Runeforging skills we know so far:

Rune of Cinderglacier: Affixes your rune weapon with a rune that has a chance to increase your Frost and Shadow spell damage by 10% for 15 sec. Modifying your rune weapon requires a Rune Forge in Ebon Hold.

Rune of Frostfever: Affixes your rune weapon with a rune that has a chance to inflict a disease that causes Frost damage and lowers attack power by 10% for 20 sec. Modifying your rune weapon requires a Rune Forge in Ebon Hold.

Rune of Lichbane: Affixes your rune weapon with a rune that has a chance to strike undead for extra Fire damage and stun then for 5 sec. Modifying your rune weapon requires a Rune Forge in Ebon Hold.

Rune of Spellbreaking: Affixes your two-handed rune weapon with a rune that deflects 5% of all spell damage. Modifying your rune weapon requires a Rune Forge in Ebon Hold.

Rune of Swordbreaking: Affixes your two-handed rune weapon with a rune that increases Parry chance by 3%. Modifying your rune weapon requires a Rune Forge in Ebon Hold.

Rune of the Fallen Crusader: Affixes your rune weapon with a rune that has a chance to heal you for 3% and increase total Strength by 30% for 15 sec. Modifying your rune weapon requires a Rune Forge in Ebon Hold.
