Legion – Page 7 – Being undead is no excuse for skipping leg day

So I bet this is how they’re explaining Illidan coming back:

There’s a quest in the DH starting zone that allows you to sacrifice either yourself or an NPC. If you sacrifice yourself, you die, and as you corpse run, you get the following:

Lord Illidan Stormrage: Interesting. Like me, you have an immortal demon soul. You cannot truly die. Instead, your soul will make its way to the Twisting Neither. There you will wait until you can find a suitable body to inhabit.
Now get back to your corpse while there is still time and bring me the keystone!

So basically, Illidan has been corpse running since BC

Looks like there are some major changes to unholy DKs:

Death Knights had a lot of balance changes over time. They had unique
mechanics, like DoT snapshotting with Unholy. Those things have gone
away now, so part of what made Unholy special is gone.
Something they are trying now is Festering Wounds. When the Death Knight
hits a target, they will apply debuff and when they use a different
ability that wound will pop. You might hit them and apply three or five,
or pop three of them all at once.
The fantasy of a Death Knight pulling corpses from the ground to do
their bidding is great, but in the game it doesn’t feel like that when
you are playing, so the team wanted to give them a unique mechanic.
Talents may give them multiple pets, different pets, stronger pets.
Frost is still very similar to live and Blood is somewhere in the middle.
Blood Death Knights having the different rune types is part of what made
it easy to play. You would just push whatever buttons were lit up, as
the runes controlled what you could use. Now you will have more options
and control over how to use your runes.
