Think about it abomination limb gone

Blizzard big void expansion is coming out and they probably thought to themselves … man we really only have .66 class that uses void magic (Shadow priest and affliction locks… this is only 2 specs) they want a 3rd spec to really give options for people that want to embrace void goodness.
It would be crazy if they do give these spells to demon hunters but hey it would flesh out the class mor and it is basically how the demon hunter class even got created in the first place by sapping away concepts from other classes.
If we get a Midnight class it will probably be spell-blades to go with the elf theming. They just have to make it so it’s not only elves like Demon Hunters.
As for the pruning I just think every class has too many buttons and that needs to change.
Except they’re removing the wrong stuff. CDs aren’t really the issue. It’s mobility, CC, and rotational bloat that has become a problem.
Class design for the last 10 years can more or less be summarized by, “What does the class not have? Give them that.” Of course they were ignorant of the consequences.
Ethereal is gonna be a playable race. The question is if they also have a class associated to them as well the same way they did with Evoker. They will obviously be cloth armor.
What’s the class gonna be? Well, I think we got a snippet of it when we get to play as one for the Special Assignment world quest in K’aresh. Definitely Warpstalker will be the class or a spec.
