Previously it didnt affect ranged attacks

There are a lot of things still being worked out with the Death Knight class such as specific spell abilities. Unsimilar to a traditional caster type however, a Death Knight's spell power comes from runes that are etched into their blade. Think Warcraft III when you think about the possibilities of abilities for the Death Knight. I say possibilities because things are still in process for the development of the class and there will be (of course) a lot of testing for balance done. Given that this is our first Hero class we're unveiling, you can be sure we're going for the coolest of the cool for this class.1. What is a Hero Class?- A Hero class is a class that can to be obtained, A Hero class is a completely new idea that Blizzard has just implemented.2. How do I Unlock my Death Knight?- The Death Knight will be unlocked through a Long quest chain. This chain will be done by a level 80 and is expected to take a while. - The quest line's roll is to teach you about your death knight.3. What will Happen to my Main?- Your Main will not be transformed into a death knight. Blizzard juggles with this idea but thought that you would be losing something to gain something.- The death knight will be unlocked and will start at a high level. This is also a part of the hero class. imagine a level one death knight gnome killing boars, lol. Blizzard is not sure on the expected level but they expect it to be within level 50-70.4. What Gear Will i be able to use?- Death Knights will be a plate wearing class. But they will not have the ability to use Shields.- You will get a Special Weapon either Two-Handed or one handed (Intended to dual wield) - This will be referred to as your "Runeblade(s)"5. What Gear will my Death Knight start with?- Your Death Knight will have gear stated as reasonably Decent for your level, ( Blues im assuming.)- You will start with a mount!6. What Kind of System will I use?- Your Death Knight will use a whole new type of system called the Rune System.- This will be totally personal and you will be able to make it how you want it!- You will be able to choose the runes placed there. The runes will recharge just like energy does (but slower I imagine)7. What Makes the Death Knight Different?- This class is meant to feel completely different from any other class. It is a DPS class, like a rouge but Blizzard is being very careful not to make it over power the rogue but it will be a hearty competitor.- The Death Knight will not only be a melee class but a summoning class.- The Death Knight is a VERY, VERY Different class.

The Death Knight is going to have a mana pool. The runes they inscribe on their weapons are their mana pool (of a sort). As they use their abilities, the runes will be exhausted. After a period of time the runes will refresh. So, they don't have a traditional type of mana pool. You'll most likely see some screenshots of it, but the Death Knight (at current) has three different types of runes that they can inscribe on their weapon: Blood, Frost, and Unholy. Runes can Death Knights will be a plate wearing class.
