Real leak could appear anytime now...
#1 Hype-Thread Shitposter - Overlord of the Hypethread
1. Shadowlands is just a great name for an expansion
2. Prestige classes make a lot of sense.
3. Shadowlands story wise makes sense. ICC as the gateway and sylvana's talking about death.
4. The colours used in the logo and artwork are refreshing and HYPE.
5. Characters like the Lich King are great for marketing.
Because Hunter is about tracking, hunting and being attuned to nature and life. Dark Ranger is more of a hateful assassin who is attuned to shadow and death.
Therefore, it is a paradox for both elements to coexist within the same class. Also Hunter lacks Mind Control and Life Drain mechanic to be turned into a class skin.

Just like there are Nagas and other NPC class elements in other class halls that don't mean they are the same class. Besides, a playable Dark Ranger would be closer to what Sylvanas is NOW and she appears to be a very much magic-based.
I'm not trying to assume this is real, even if I want it to be. I'm just stating why it cannot work as a class skin or 4th spec.
I just know I'm ready to see the reveal.
