Death Knight "look" based class
I agree. Guardian with white hair and midnight ice/abyss dye would work perfectly. A ghastly greatsword would also complete the Deathknight look.
That’s what I’m thinking of leaning towards. What dye color matches there iconic undead blue glows?

Deep Glacial Sky is what I think you’re looking for
Edit: I’ve never played WoW, but I’ve attached an image that (maybe?) depicts what a Death Knight is like in GW2

Sorry, but you don’t base a class on its “looks”, but on its gameplay and mechanics.

neither do I, but I believe the Op was asking for a way to look like a death knight from WoW, since in that game classes have class specific armor models.

I didn’t understand the first post correctly, my apologies.
Please, don’t. Never.
We already have enough emos and satan lost childs running around LA.
Wow that way →
Guardian would be the best class for what you’re looking for. It’s a heavy class, so the armor can look like what you want.
Most guardian magic abilites are blue tinted, which was a prominent color for WoW death knights, plus several talents could be RP as being simmilar to the DK ones, like the GS binding blade – pull being something like DK’s death grip (for those that don’t know, a spectral hand that grabs you and pulls you towards the DK), which also works good considering that the GS would be simmilar to the DK’s signature runeblades.
As for looks, the orr temple armor is the first on that comes to mind, specially died with dark and bluish tones (midnight ice or abyss, I usually prefer the first one since it’s cheaper on TP and IMHO looks better tham abyss in most heavy armors):

maybe complemented with some pieces of the “dark” set if you’re into a less spiky look:

Or if you want to spend some gems, maybe even some pieces (or the whole set) of the primeval set (personally I love the assimetrical dragon themed shoulders and gloves, I’m using them on my dragon themed warrior along with the dragon helmet… I think I’m saying dragon too much.. dragon dragon dragon):

As for weapon, greatsword as main obviously, the ghastly greatsword is the best match, specially with the blue glow at night:

wrapped up in some crazy ritualist hoo-ha from Cantha.
A real grab bag of ‘you can’t hurt me. They’re called Guardians.
What locoman said.
guardians are “spirit callers” and Mystic warriors. A “Ghostly” guardian would perfectly fit the description of a death knight.
Thanks all of you. I had a feeling you would lend a hand in this.
I think a Death Knight would be the polar opposite if the Guardian. Instead of burning with flames he’d chill enemies, instead of Pure of Voice he’d have Words of Corruption which converts boons into conditions, etc.
