Void Knight

[Krassus]

WoW's Death Knight in Unholy spec was an anti-magic tank I believe.

\

It was more kind of a mashup of blood + deep unholy to become a pure spell tank but it really only boosted AMS (6% innate spell resist + 25% more absorb from AMS) and gave you spell deflection via 18 points in blood which = parry % chance to take 15% per level less damage. So 45% less spell damage which fired off of your parry percentage.

Im thinking this might be a pure AM tank but without seeing any skills really who knows, im just shooting in the dark based of his comments in the video.

As discussed earlier in this thread the thought of some sort of teleportation is a legitimate speculation now that it is known that the Void Knight is anti-mage. It makes sense that it would have such an ability to rapidly close distance between itself and a mage.

Guildie focused in on the video for VK -

Void Knight

Tier 1 Talents:

Pain Tolerance (5 points) - increases maximum health by 1% (per point)

Insatiable Hunger - When you hit a target that uses mana with a <something> attack, you gain a x% chance of draning the target's mana and gain a pact.

Tier 2:

Rift Tap (1 point) - The next spell that hits the Void Knight causes damage back to the caster. Lasts 30 seconds. Damage seems to be based on the number of attack points?

Surge ( 5 points) - Increases damage of Discharge, Unstable <something> and Tempest by 2% (per point)

Ravenous Strength (5 points) - Increases Strength by 5% (per point) for 5 seconds when a Pact is gained

Updated - Special thanks to Xilith and Jorm for the ability descriptions.

Could be a good addition to any tank spec, esp w/ magic using bosses, thinking a very good one to add pvp wise for a pally, since magic is their known weakness.

and the dk unholy / blood build was labeled as anti magic, I never used it I was usually frost, the dk i ssupposed to get abilities to copy a spell cast on them then apply to the target next expansion i think. Warriors had spell reflect in wow .

Thanks for the info Xaices. My favorite tanking class has always been the Shadow / Dread Knight class. Mixing melee damage with casting spells and life taps has always made them a very strong class in PVP and PVE.

Sounds like a highly specialiced tank setup to me. It sure will come in handy in certain raid tanking situations and also sounds like a nightmare for all casters in PvP.

Here is wishing for:

A Silence ability to deny casters the ability to even cast.
A teleportation ability to rapidly close width to the caster.

Other things could be a dot that on each tic also interrupts casting slightly. Or a debuff that lengthens cast times or makes abilities cost more, depending on if MoB's design would facilitate the mechanic.

Anti-magic tank...sounds like my cup of tea! The current talents seem interesting, and seems like it could be a viable tank, maybe mix some reaver or paladin in, bwahahaha

Kelari Void Knight seems to be my choice for one of my souls
