…why?

If this is real, then all options are on the table for classes moving forward. Will see a lot less: Tinkers cant be class because of engineering and we already have Necromancers, their called Death knights.

I hope it goes Tinker, Necromancer, Witch and Apothecary. The rest while seem intresting they lack wow flavor to me.

bard makes the most sense i guess. tbh most of the others seem like sub-specs or hero talents of existing things

Either OP made stuff up to troll or just refuses to acknowledge an NDA.

This isn’t real. These classes are nonsensical for the most part.

What is with the “This is a translation” Stuff?

Because… they wanted to troll people in a new way or something?

There we rumors of a survey a couple days ago and this information was posted in other places before this. It could still be totally fake.

Blizzard can’t tell me what to do! They aren’t my real dad!

This is not what the new survey is about.

It’s dumb stuff. A Necromancer overruns their enemies with an “army” of undead.

So they spam army of dead? Just stupid.

Gunslinger? You mean outlaw rogue?

Titan Killer? That’s really stupid.

Someone had chatgpt spit this trash out. If it was seen other places then the original was chatgpt nonsense and it was copied.

Ah yes, when I think of Titan magic the first thing I think of is shadow.

At least try OP, this is far too obvious.

This survey has been floating around on Bluesky with WoW content creators for a few days. I believe the claim is that it went out to some Germans.

There was a survey, yes. And it had an NDA on it.

Of course, I can’t see the full OP, because blocked, so I can only see what the mouseover shows me. Is it a full on “here’s the whole survey” or just part?

Ah, so possibly made up.

Or it’s made up to throw people off. We’ve seen that before.
