Mail/bow/rdps = void hunter, like dark ranger but Alleria.
Too close to hunter though
Interesting theory but I just don't see how it would work with Shadow Priests being a thing. Thematically they are very similar, more so than DHs and Warlocks. But a new class two xpacs in a row would be sweet and a new range one at that? Sign me up
Not currently, but the plan is to have most artifact appearances still available to be earned post-legion.
You should be able to use those you have earned, and still earn most of those you have not.
However they are likely to at least be class-specific still, though not stated if spec specific.
The current stated exceptions Mythic+ 15, and Mage Tower appearances.
However if you have the base appearance, the colour variants of the Mage Tower appearances will remain available to earn post Legion.
This is what blizzard stated quite recently, at least being the current plan.
Starting neutral-races can absolutely happen again. Pandaren weren't poorly received due to being neutral and choosing a faction, but rather due to manchildren taking issue with humanoid pandas entering their manly and utterly serious PG 12 game...
Nah. Shadow hunter is a possibility though. And I can see a panda thing happening, with a neutral race with a class tied in through lore.
Sorry who is assuming Locus-Walker is going to be a racial leader?
Lore-wise Ethereal are one of the easiest races to add onto any faction. They are a highly divided people split into many groups and have been shown to have two primary motivations (the 'good' Ethereals at-least) to make profit and defeat the void. It would be simple to invent a new group and use these motivations to tie them to a faction. You really don't need Locus-walker for this. Most new races have been a lore ass pull, introducing a new faction out of no where. BE are the only real race added in who had a strong lore grounding in both wow and Warcraft 2 to 3. (Biglewater being pulled from non-canon lore books and all of gilneaus being worgen i consider relative ass pulls)

Ethereals are rad and would love to have them as a playable race. Also any new class is welcome so long as it's not melee dps.
The proper waifu is a wholesome supplement for one's intrinsic need for belonging and purpose.
Yeahh...... Locust Walker is setting out to be more of a grey character/bad guy, so why would any of the races join his Void class? Why would have of the factions allow him in their cities, especially when we have Turalyon and the Army of Light coming back to Azeroth to stand as counter to him.
Besides, we already have 3 shadow specs in the game atm and especially Sub rogues stands against your class idea, since they already are quite shadowy. Your class might be void, but they will look at the same and have some of the same theme around them, as melee shadow users.
All in all, i would be extremly surprised if your idea even comes to pass just a tiny little bit. Alleria seems to be builded up as a unique shadow character and not as the start of a new class. Besides, Legion was all about using the enemies power against them (demon hunters against demons) and it would be too much of a repeat of theme, if 8.0 was all about using the power of the void against the Void Lords.
Alot of faults and very little argumental background.
May the lore be great and the stories interesting. A game without a story, is a game without a soul. Value the lore and it will reward you with fun!
Don't let yourself be satisfied with what you expect and what you seem as obvious. Ask for something good, surprising and better. Your own standards ends up being other peoples standard.
Really hope the class name won't contain "locus" though - it's Latin for location/place, but at least in German, Lokus a slang term/euphemism for toilet - "the silent place".
But your duty to Azeroth is not yet complete. More is demanded of you... a price the living cannot pay.
