this is probably the most realistic leak to date, really hoping this one is real, seems like it

this is a real leak. inb4 delet?

[Sett]

More specs to balance is like... the opposite of what Blizzard wants. If they could I bet every class would have just two specs, imo.

[Billy4269]

this is a real leak. inb4 delet?

how do you know its definitely real? It seems a lot more realistic than 99% of the fake bullshit ones posted on here. i truly hope this is real. i love the name "tides of war" as well, simple but perfect fit seems like a name blizz would use.

[XDurionX]

New specs alone is a giveaway that this is bullshit. NEXT!

[Wyrmbane]

Fake obliviously - Blizzard will never allow 1v1 arena.

[Jellykiss]

It got deleted once, he/she posted it again.

[Faolain]

Probably fake but I'd play this. I still want blood elf druids though. No lore reason, I just think it'd be cool.

[iETHOSi]

First time he posted this it was deleted incredibly fast, this is the second time I'm seeing this thread pop up by this user. Does the staff know a little something? :thinking:

[orruith]

wouldn't necromancy just be death knights though?

[huth]

Meh, i think it's a bit to specific for this early.

Sounds interesting, though.

[Sovich]

Good ideas in there, but doesn't mean I believe it

[Feali]

It sounds amazing. Which makes it fake. Also it's way too detailed.

[Bas Prime]

Monk: Blademaster - Melee DPS - very fast Two Handed Weapon playstyle

you got me at this part

[Gaidax]

Snorrrrreeee

[Wishblade]

Nicely put together leak with some stuff I'd definitely like to see and some I find highly unlikely.

Well done though, a decent read.

[dope_danny]

Maybe don't pick the title of an existing WoW novel for your fake leak next time? kind of spoils your fun early.

[Gib Lover]

Next time instead of phalanx use Gladiator, as it has a history of actually existing. Better than most of the recent fake leaks, but can still use some work.

[Lochton]

Seems realistic but I smell fake. Would be too misleading with Blizzard having two products called, 'Tides of War'.

As well, Worgen Shamans? Shouldn't Worgen have paladins before trolls?
