rumor is that 10.0 will evolve around dragons and 11.0 about element lords, either is not good time for necromancer. for introducing necromancer its like now or never. you have one zone dedicated for necromancing, whole expansion theme is about afterlifes. its more than perfect for necromancer to be added in wow.

I love it how people who haven’t played an expansion that hasn’t been released yet are so quick to judge it.

You all must be kidding yourselves if you dont think there will at least be allied races in Shadowlands.

25

Is there a new class then?

No, there isnt. Therefore I do not need to play it to know im not interested.

WoD was known for the lack of content. Not the “no new class”.

And that’s fine then. You can continue playing an older version of the game that isn’t really going to move forward.

WoD want supposed to have a new class, this expansion was.

And where was it said that Shadowlands was supposed to have a new class? Hmmm? I am pretty sure the next expansion was all speculations until they actually announced it at Blizzcon?

Expansions alternate with a new class and a new race…always have. If you dont even know that much you have nothing to contribute.

The race customization options more than account for a lack of any new races.

And, if they manage to get classes in a better spot, I think more will be gained than by adding a new class.

and then what?

  1. BfA released no new classes, but instead, Allied Races. And look at how bad the content turned out to be.
  2. With all the ability pruning they have done over the past so many years, how about we fix the current classes first before trying to add a new class.
  3. CONTENT! I would rather see the content made fun and engaging than have the same stuff over and over again, like how bad the content in BfA has been.

Guess what this is Blizzards game and even if that was how they did it before they have every right to switch it up a bit and not add anything like that.

and stop use race customizations as excuses, that belong to the art department, what about game mechanics. get more talent from diablo 4 team if wow team could not fancy up a necromancer class.

35

Like as bad as BFA?

Because siphoning and repurposing abilities from 2 extant classes to make a ‘new’ one adds neither fantasy nor unique game play. Take a look at typical necromancer abilities and see how much will be picked not just from unholy death knights but death knights in general. There’s far more room for a witch doctor or some other such class that uses poisons, voodoo and throws frog pots and spiders at things than a bloody necromancer.

Who says there has to be a new class or race this expansion .

Just because every other expac has been a new race or class does not mean they can’t change it up . Who are any of us to say they have to stick to a set formula on how things like races or classes are done. Anyone who says they have to do a new class because they did a new one in Legion or says they have to do new races in the one after Shadowlands because BfA had new one is pretty freaking arrogant with their it has been this way in the past and must remain so in the future attitude.

unholy dk currently has mechanics without profound meanings, just check their damages, how much percentage does unholy dk summoned minions did, no more than 20%, all unholy burst comes from disease explosion, their pet has no real functions, like best mastery hunter pet, unholy dk pet could not tank, all they do is one more cc and some damages, you can give the cc to dk and put an aura on unholy and have the same spec.

a new necromancer would have summoned minions do half and above damage, pets would provide resources back to necromancer for their armor etc. a real pet class that coexist with each other.

okay so you’ve made one spec, spam zombies, which is only slightly more involved than an unholy DK. then what? All you have are bones, pun intended, no meat at all without cannibalising death knights further (bone armour, blood boil) and warlocks (curses and siphon life/drain life). You could easily just put more pet focus into unholy and accomplish the same thing and balance it easily.

That would be true if they were presenting the expansion as a free gift…

In reality, it is a product that is for sale. There is no arrogance involved when a consumer decides to buy or pass on a product they are trading their money for.
