No new classes for the Draenei. I'm devastated. Why do they get ignored?! How about even a Draenei warlock?
Yeah, it's annoying.
I was hoping, too, for a Worgen shaman. I really want to play a Worgen but lately I've discovered a love of healing. Sure, I can still do Druid or Priest, but their levelling experiences will have to be majorly revamped. (Of course, every class is being looked at as far as levelling goes, they said.) I've tried both as they are now and didn't have fun levelling them at all.
Oh well, I probably have a year or more to decide.
Well maybe not. There was a comment from one of the Blizzard reps (forget which) that said "Yeah, we'll hear plenty of complaining about Goblin Rogues by next Blizzcon" hinting that perhaps they are going to release before then.
Also they admitted to working on this Xpac before the release of WotLK AND they had playable content at blizzcon which is farm more then they had at the first announcement of WotLK.
You have a very good point. Especially given that we're only one content patch away from the end of the expansion (I've heard that in an interview they said there's no plans for a 3.4).
Yeah I can see Draenei warlocks being an obvious combo but yea no new classes for them. Apparently the official comment on why not was a bit short and "flip"….
"We have enough Draenei running around already".
Wow…wouldn't think that would stop them.
I cant see really see a Draenei warlock seeing that they fight for light and all but i guess druid and rogue dont fit them any better, but as you said before, they can always change some details in the lore
Oh and something just came to mind when i was looking at the worgen's classes, is there gonna be a female worgen? i guess if they're allowed a human form, they'd just have seperate male and female human forms, but all looking the same in worgen form. but i guess they can always make up a female worgen model.
I haven't paid super close attention to the models yet but I'm sure they will have ones that look more female then mail. Much like the Taurens. I would assume (and someone from blizzcon who played them could confirm this perhaps) that during character creation, you are probably looking at a worgen for cosmetics since that seems to be their primary form.
I would guess human form is automatically selected the same way you get human form when doing caverns of time quests.
Nice lots of new caster options for alliance. Troll Druids and Tauren Pallies for the hirde though. Yay!
