World of Warcraft: Tides of War

As I said, I don't think they will make any new specs available before 110 IF they introduce new specs at all.

well i think for the sake of debate we're assuming this leak is real. It likely is not. And as you said to me earlier. You don't know that, your just assuming as i was. You cannot say for certain they won't need a weapon from 100 to 110.

but guys considering DEMOMN HUNTERS couldnt even get a 3rd spec cuz blizzard couldnt justify it, how likely would it be that every class gets a 4th one. eeeeeeeeeeeh ://// i mean this sounds really cool but idk man.

yea but it wouldnt be thematically different from prot cuz ur still using 1 sword and 1 shield. but who knows.

Well on this "leak" its represented as Phalanx which is Polearm + Shield based or similar. So effectively IF this is true they are going the "Spartan" Valajar route.

Oh yeah, that was a fun spec, but jealous fury elitists cried cuz their own class did more dps than... their own class. Yo let's be offended it'S 2017.

Which was sad

I could see them having artifacts and/or legendaries having split effectiveness between a current and new spec. Would be a ton of work to implement new artifacts for a new spec during an 8.0 patch.

Example

Silver Hand works for Holy and Devotion
Tyrs Deliverance would cause AoE damage on use for Devotion etc.

But thats banter and speculation for a "leak" im on the bench with on authenticity.

they could just make it so that 4th specs unlock at 120

Pandaren monks (brewmaster) existed in Warcraft 3, Chen was around for a long time and was referenced in an old Barrens quest.

^^^ see above for Pandas in wc3

Now off topic whats interesting is much of the deviations from WC3 and WC2 in terms of hero units and how our classes function now.

Pandas didn't have monks until WoW. They only had brewmasters in WC3.

Prior to pandas coming in and taking monks in MoP, WoW monks were like this:
https://wow.gamepedia.com/Auchenai_Monk
https://wow.gamepedia.com/Argent_Monk

Tides of War. I like that.

Still not seeing the big USP for the 'fake'...

We all know 4th specs for each class isn't happening. So what is the hook? New zones, raids etc isn't a hook. Legion had artifacts/DHs, WoD had garrisons, MoP had Monks, Cata had ......, WolTK had DKs, TBC had new races....

The OP couldn't even be bothered to spell Kul Tiras properly. I doubt he thought his fake leak out that much.

People tended to associate the Brewmaster as a monk anyways, i get what you are saying but it was the general association.

I usually love these kind of posts, but there's no way I'll believe in a Mage tank spec.

LOL guys remembber that behind Ion Hazzikostas on that Q and A there was a TIDES OF WAR jaina book lol.
prob already mentioned here somehwere, to lazy to read.

[Steampunkette]

An important thing to note: Adding 12 specs is not the same as creating 4 classes with 3 specs each.

Specs are based on a class, and modify it's abilities, grant a few new ones, and remove others. Some of those new powers require animations and artwork, many do not.

It's a vastly smaller pile of work.

It's still unlikely to be something they launch an expansion with. We're much more likely to see 2-3 specs here and there.

past leaks were never this detailed. they used to only mention the name, the new class or race, and like 1 or 2 sentences of lore. right?

- - - Updated - - -

and shouldnt spell breakers be closer to warriors than mages. Spellbreakers are warriors trained to be immune to spells. then u made a 4th spec TO mages lol. idk how that works

[Deleted]

This is so much detailed there are 2 reasons :

n°1 : this guy has a lot of imagination and should work at Blizzard because some points are really interestings.

n°2 : this leak is true.

Raids:
Infinite Pathways-Future - A shattered Azeroth. A Giant Void Titan seen in the background.

I love this one.
A bit of the ambiance of Augur in the same kind of background.

[Jalham]

Too detailed to be a leak.
Previous leaks were like 3-5 sentences at max due to leakers being outsorced people who worked on boxes art or something with less information.
A developer would never leak a full details and risk his career.

[Spaze]

i would totally play this hope atleast something from this is real

[Mushkins]

The idea that Kul'Tiras for alliance and Zandalar for horde seems very unlikely. I highly doubt that Blizzard will create two high-level zones only for a half of wow population.

[WskyDK]

Oh man, if they turned rogues into Trap-assins from d2 I’d delete every other character I have.

[Soon-TM]

An interesting read. Too bad that hell will freeze over before Blizzard adds a 4th spec to existing classes :/
