The War Within 11.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

[Nymrohd]

Even though i am not a huge Paladin fan, i personally like the lighsmith thing the most. it's something new, not spec defining but some nice bonus that maybe rounds out/diversifies some specs. In general Hero specs are just about what I expected from what we saw at Blizzcon. xcited what comes next.

Yeah, a talent tree that is entirely based on a targeting reticule ability? Never using it.

Earthen becoming DKs will presumably use the same logic as other Allied Race DKs - i.e. the now-established lore that the current LK is making new DKs occasionally. So there's no issue there.

One problem though. There is no Lich King anymore.

I know Shadowlands was traumatizing and we all want to forget it, but destruction of the Lich King and Helm of Domination happened literally on The opening cinematic.

And? The Helm of Domination was not used to raise undead. It was used to control undead. The Lich King raised undead through Frostmourne, the Plague of Undeath or necromantic rituals.

This is correct. The classes aren't like superhero origin stories, they're just a meta division of in-universe vocations. Just like Paladin is a magical warrior who's magic flavor is Holyness, the Death Knight is just an armored necromancer or dark spellcaster, and necromancers in-universe aren't necessarily undead.

And if you insist it's dependent on the Lich King's special items, remember Warcraft 2 death knights had nothing to do with him, note in SoD it appears Paladins & Shaman are getting Death Knight abilities in phase 2 per their Warcraft 3 & 2 depictions, respectively.

Pretty much which is why I mentioned necromantic rituals. There are plenty of ways to cook a DK. Sure Arthas could produce them the fastest because Frostmourne but it's not necessary. No one in Maldraxxus is the Lich King and they all churn undead constantly

We already know what is coming today, you literally posted about this 2 pages ago.

Yeah but the content of the Roadmap could be huge or could be meh. Hope that MRGM is not creating hype for nothing.

My biggest hope for today is an expanded Timewalking system that goes beyond our wildest dreams. But who knows? We are retaking Gilneas so maybe it gets the Arathi treatment alongside with the Undercity in a future patch? We are rebuilding two Alliance cities so I expect the Undercity to go next, hopefully with something more than a few quests.

There will be atleast two new hair colors announced.

[Murlocos]

I hope we get some kind of Horde content, instead of a huge focus on 'neutral' content that's mostly just Alliance content that has to be twisted into pretzels and neutered to let the Horde join in too.

[Darkarath]

Hope that they stop announcing this kind of stuff as patch features. It is beyond lame.

[Alanar]

Nail on the head.

Hopefully they either stop with that bs or actually add some stuff when they announce NEW options lol.

I mean there is nothing wrong with them adding a few new options as soon as they are done. But having a roadmap and mentioning it as InsertRaceHere Customization to then reveal it was just two hair colors . . .

[Teriz]

I'll just say that as a player of a Draenei paladin, Lightsmith makes me very happy.

Same, been kind of waiting since Legion and BfA was the worst kind of Horde content we could've possibly gotten.

And here is the roadmap
