No one said anything about tank except the players to be fair. I do think tank shamans would be nice tho.
Logged into my evoker yesterday, and it seems to have been fixed. My staff wasnât showing up anymore. So glad lol.
The data mined information leaned towards it being Black Dragon stuff, which people have been associating with tanking abilities.
Itâs a fair comparison.
My statement stands regardless of this being perceived as a tank, healer, or DPS spec for Evokers. Before ANY other class gets another spec, Shaman should get a tanking spec. We once had a pseudo spec and still carry a shield around. Thereâs no reason they couldnât make one using Earth abilities (which are, in my opinion, severely underrepresented in our class).

Druids didnât actually get expanded with a fourth spec, it just rearranged abilities they already had. One of their original talent trees was for two roles at once (what is now known as Feral and Guardian). This was awful to balance and was going to break completely with how Cata redefined what a spec means, so they split it up.
Some of the datamining is about Adamanthia, who is already in-game in the Forbidden Reach and everyone (not just evokers) is introduced to who she is and how power was drained from the dracthyr (something they might want to get back).
IOW, the storyline leading up to the third spec has already started; Iâm not going to say itâs just a matter of time until it becomes playable because Blizzard might scrap it before it goes live, but they are definitely moving in that direction. Iâd actually be surprised if they werenât internally alpha testing a spec of some kind, they just donât want anyone to feel like it was promised to them in case they do end up deciding to scrap it. And Ionâs remarks are fully consistent with them keeping their options open.
Relatedly, they might continue the storyline about black dragon essence having been drained from the dracthyr or they might abandon it. (Remember how the Drust fit into the overall storyline of Shadowlands? But they were clearly planned to be part of it, with their suspiciously Domination-like magic that we never heard anything about again once the Primus showed up.)
Rumor mill.
You win some you lose most
Speculating can be fun. But they arenât always real

Look I didnât read this whole post but Some speculations turn out to be true just do the sheer number of speculations.
Congrats I guess⌠The next speculation that comes out will also be met with skepticism.
It wasnât speculation, there was a literal 10.1 datamined quest chain that had in the text of it, ânew specialization rememberedâ that was Dracthyr only. Then a short time later, voice lines for it talking about three specs, and people still argued until they were blue in the face that it âmeant nothingâ
And that was all out there before the OP.
