it feels really weird for the ninth to be warlock when you can clearly distinguish a dragon face sticking out of a hood
It's kind of sad that they wear mail. I would've preferred to see the visage forms in robes.
You’ve got a lot right! They’ve officially revealed the classes, though
3 is Shaman
7 is Evoker (it’s got dragon horns, dragon boots, but is also made of scales and mail)
8 is Priest
9 is Warlock
11 is DK, which is cool, we never get ice-themed sets for them
Others are spot on!
Yellow definitely is the most easily identifiable set
You got most right, but you mistook Shaman for Priest, Evoker for DK, Priest for Warlock, Warlock for Evoker and DK for Shaman.
I.e.
3. Shaman (it's lightning and craggy rock, come on)
7. Evoker
8. Priest
9. Warlock
11. Death Knight

Well, between Shamans and Evokers, there still should be some.
And Mail is currently the least used type, so it makes sense they'd want one more. Besides, they naturally wear "scale mail".
Don't know if I'm just acting like a sore looser or if it's because the warlock set on a drakthyr would be really sweet looking
OK, but through the powers of deduction you can tell the Paldain set is obviously plate. And has holy runes on the shoulder things like the priest set. Its the first set I identified. Of course I have mained a paladin for 15 years, so it was easy for me.

Yeah, Hes Deathwing level, but even dumber. I know he has some dialogue in a book, but I don't think they have time to build him up. Although they successfully built up the Thunder King for MoP's 5.2 patch, so it could be done, but I have less faith in blizzards narrative ability these days.
Moruzond is still very powerful, and charasmatic/intellegent. Its much easier to make him final boss.
"A youtuber said so."
"... some wow experts being interviewed..."
"According to researchers from Wowhead..."
There are obvious bits and pieces that tells you at least what 9 or 10 out of 13 are clearly. Deduction can give you the rest. But eh, clearly some people have trouble with it. Idk how, but its obvious now that they arent as easy to tell apart as I assumed they were. So ill partially concede that point.
I'm going to love being in the capital city with dragons flying all over the place. I loved that about Wyrmrest Temple.
See I was under the impression that Titans molded some into Dragons, but it was natural evolution? I guess they were dragon shaped elementals until the curse of flesh hit?

Prob a few different themes. Black and glowy for sure. Also could have a lot of bronze sandy time themes.
Probably more diverse than ZM tiers, but less diverse than the Dragonflight Primal tier.

Thats a great idea too!

Yeah, I suppose that makes sense. Or it could be as simple as they realized the sets being made fit better into the primal raid than the next one. Perhaps they weren't sure that was going to be the first raid yet, but the artists already had them concepted out. Who knows.

Speaking of which, I wonder what the catalyst will be that finally makes Nozdormu snap? If he's ever going to do it in WoW this is the perfect time.

If you don't want to fight big dragons, this might not be the expansion for you.

Eh, they have elemental and arcane spells sure, but half their abilities are likely going to be dragon based instead of casting based. I don't think they are as similar as we think. Who knows though.
Yeah, if done right it might be easier for blizzard to make him a compelling villain than it was for the Thunder King. Idk if they have the narrative chops to do it, but I think TK is the in the top 5 villains in WoW and he was invented in an expansion about Pandas.

Each charge likely would have different effects. It makes no sense to make a casted ability charged unless they do something else with it, but they could do a lot.
Charged Aimed shot gives a haste buff.
Charged Aimed shot is almost always a guaranteed crit.
Chardged Aimed shot Hits 2 targets for full damage.
Lots they could do with it.

11.0 could be a world revamp but they might want to do cosmic again, so it very well could be 12.0.
I do think they will do it in the next 3 or 4 expansions, but aside from next xpac being the 20th anniversary, it makes more sense for 12.0.
11.0 Cosmic Light or void xpac.
12.0 Down to Azeroth back to basics world revamp with housing.
If I'm not mistaken, the curse of flesh only affected the titanforged creations, like the mechagnomes and Earthen.
I'd liken the Primalist drakes to Homo neanderthalensis/erectus while the Aspects would be the Homo sapien equivalent. Same common elemental ancestor species different fantasy evolutionary pressures.
I just think Ebonhorn is quite neat.
