Yes… Yes they do?
Did you Do an Island Expedition this expansion? There are NPC’s that have abilities taken directly from existing classes.
(And there’s also a team of Tinkers.)
Or hell, Let’s just query the Fanbase real quickly.
What Class is Saurfang?
What Class is Thrall?
What class is Illidan?
What class is Anduin?
Yes. NPCs Definitely inspire and represent gameplay very often.
In fact. Frequently we get abilities on certain classes taken directly from NPCs.
Remorseless winter on Death Knight and Sundering on Shaman both come to mind.
You don’t have to Agree with me. So long as you can acknowledge an objective fact.
Blizzard created a new tutorial that shows of existing classes Via NPCs.
Blizzard also added Characters in this tutorial that Show off Tinkers.
If that’s meaningless to you. Then that’s fine.
I don’t mind it so much. It just sort of represents how little the faction divide matters when everything is exactly the same both ways.
