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

From WoD i think BRF would be the best raid to come back as timewalking.

The timewalking raids would probably be BRF, Nighthold, Battle for Dazar'alor and Nathria. Which is a shame because I really enjoyed Antorus and think its incredibly thematic for Legion, but people always talk about Nighthold as most iconic.

Also I like Sanctum a lot but people hate Sylvanas and Scribe that much for it to happen.

I also agree that Antorus is the better raid. Honestly I felt Nighthold failed to tell a cohesive story while Antorus did an excellent job at it and had the better bosses.
Unless you are melee and trying to do Coven. Fuck those bitches

Blizzard doesn't do Caverns of Time dungeons since the Dragon Soul fiasco in 2012.

There's a dozen interesting scenarios that could have been explored and yet weren't, long before the Scalies were a thing.

But Dragon Soul wasn't even a timeline issue, we just got warped to present and the only reason it was at the Caverns of Time was purely for convenience to go with the 3 new heroic dungeons in the same location.

I would rather go back to doing another Dragon Soul than to sit through Chromie's Multiverse of Madness. Not so much the Dracthyr story (honestly don't even need to do that to understand the Dracthyr's story as it was just cut and dry).

I would've rather we had Caverns of Time dungeons to some of the other set pieces we were at like the Gnoll Wars, the Pandaren Revolution, OR EVEN THE WAR OF THE SHIFTING SAND... but instead we just have to deal with Galakrond's corpse bile and basically undo the mistake we made of going after Iridikron.

Again, I disagree. By the time we get properly into the leak season there is usually a strong contender for main theme. During the leak season prior to SL more or less everyone agreed the theme would be the Shadowlands. The question was just where it would be. Same with before DF was announced, and everyone more or less agreed Dragons would be important.

The leak season we just had was the unique one in that there were no major plot points most people could agree on, outside Titans being important.

Same, I mean we know the basis for Midnight and The Last Titan, but people will still throw "leaks" of what might happen and "spoil the story" or other nuggets of info...

That's a lot of trees

[Makabreska]

Hero talents up:

[Cheezits]

People are going to ask for all the trees to be like Rider, lets be honest.

Some of the others are cool, the Hunter one is humorously boring.

[doledippers]

interesting. it looks like they renamed Ruby Adept to Flameshaper for evoker. The new one definitely sounds cooler

Love that we do get the Mounted Combat even with the outdoor only restriction for Rider of the Apocalypse.

They better take the opportunity to do an HD Death Charger, it currently looks like ass.

i think this is a reasonable compromise, if you just gave DK's mounted combat everywhere it would be pretty broken and would make every other DK tree not even close. imagine having 100% movespeed for raids and m+, would be broken as fuck

Perma mounted combat for world quests, then swap to the divine steed talent for dungeons and raids.

I think the idea is you get both?

[Lorgar Aurelian]

Really surprised that farseer actually looks pretty cool with ancestors rotating in and out.

[Nymrohd]

I think I like most of these concepts but I do hope they manage to make them all look cool. We know the Four Horsemen and the August Celestials look great but e.g. how will Ancestors look? And Hellcaller looks entirely based on Satyrs; maybe give them some Satyr-like Customization?

It's a choice node.

Hopefully like the storm earth and fire guys monks get but with racial gear with a lot of variety id say.

And you know know no orcs showing up to back up my dwarf.

[ImTheMizAwesome]

Slayer looks interesting, i hope we will get some new effects for bladestorm and execute, i don't want venthyr colors on execute anymore, but more orange-reddish like warrior rage bar or something.

Rider of the apocalypse sounds looks the most fun on paper from all of these tho.

[Merryck]

What is that Shadopan Monk tree ... it's the most uninspired thing I've ever seen. The August Celestial one looks awesome though.

[infinitemeridian]

None of these trees are on the level of the Frostfire tree, that's the only tree released so far that is mildly interesting.

I think it's a waste that there isn't a Shadopan summon element to it. It's just a generic kungfu track. Not even smoke bombs.
