[iC] GMK CYL ❖ Death Knight ❖

[HungHingDaiLo]

GMK CYL Death Knight
"The Pact is sealed!"

Inspired by the death knight hero class from W*rcr*ft MMORPG and its digital collectible card variant

The primary colors of this set, attributing death knight’s characteristics, are: Dark scarlet, grey and dark blue, while the red, blue and green each represent DK class’ primary runes: ♥ Blood, ❖ frost and ✦ unholy.

For the modifier legends, I opted to choose a full icon mods, which I think compliments the theme visually and aesthetically, with or without the novelties.

pretty cool, not a dk but ddh

[taskami]

Very cool idea, looking forward to it

As a longtime DK player, I'm interested. Please consider adding R3 PgUp, R4 PgDn for 65%/75% support, as not having those keys makes it a no-starter for me.

those mods are so sick

[konstantin]

Have you considered Frostmourne or Shadowmourne (or approximations thereof) for the ISO Enter novelty? I guess something like that might have IP implications?

I like the novelties overall, but I have to say I prefer the R1/R2 Unholy rune skull design over the more abstract bottom row one. I wish the skull design were available on the bottom row too, at least for the 1u keys. Alternatively, what about a bat/gargoyle-looking thing for the bottom row icons, to match the original Unholy rune design? Here's an in-game screenshot from the original WotLK client (peak wow amirite).

Love to hear it, ty!

Edit: I'd also love to see a Death 'n' Decay rose novelty somewhere. Pretty iconic.

The legendary weapons' details are very hard to replicate in double-shot restrictions and reducing its edges/details IMHO not worth translating into. Plus, personally I wasn't a fan of having any kind of weapons (be it blunt, sharp or firearms) image on any ANSI nor ISO Enter key. IP implications-wise is also true.

I love the idea of R4 (bottom row) 2x 1u keys being the unholy (green) skull instead of unholy rune, will try to implement that.

There are much more specific & iconic DK skills that I really wanted to put into the novelties (Death & Decay as you mentioned, also many more that I've been a fan of like Blood boil, Death/plague/frost strike, Unholy strength, etc.) but I want to just focus on the main runes (blood, unholy, frost) theme for now. 

Thank you konstantin!
