hiya, sitting at work, bored, i typed this up... while i would love this class i don't think Bliz will ever put it into game... although i don't think they will put tinker, or demon hunter in either.... which i keep seeing people post about... i've always like the idea of a battle mage so i wrote this up
this is a working document, i am not that good at naming things the names below (specs etc) are just how i think about them
Battlemage
The leaders of the Kirin Tor after seeing what has transpired in Azaroth during the cataclysm, and seeing the need for them to have troops that were more survivalable. they started training battle mages. Being able to survive more than a normal mage, but still being able to unleash the hurt. Battle mages are able to fill the roles of healer, or damage dealer, and bring some interesting toys to the party.
