The tail of heroes in stories are as fellow:
A hero class is a character class derived from the base classes, but with exclusive perks. Examples of these perks include a higher starting level, better starting gear, unique abilities, and class mounts. Another example of a perk is that your abilities can run off of something other then mana, rage, and energy. The hero class right now, the death knight, uses the rune system which no other class has. Prerequisites are required to “unlock” the hero class for play. The concept of a hero class is derived from the Warcraft III hero units.
Blizzard’s Meaning of “Hero Class”
When Blizzard said “Hero Class” they never had any intention of saying a class is more powerful as if you were a hero. It just means a class is more unique in play style. The word hero often seems to confuse players to think the opposite of what Blizzard defined it as.
“It’s also important to keep in mind that even though the death knight is a hero class, that doesn’t mean it is more powerful than the other classes, just that it will offer a very different playing experience.”
