BlizzCon: New content playable on Friday

[Quark]

Methinks some people are deliberately planting false information. Check out http://www.mmo-champion.com/ -> "Wrath of the Lich King"

I'd be shocked if there were hero classes. They dropped that idea a long time ago. It's just too hard to balance - everybody wants to be a hero, and to balance content properly you would have to assume everybody was one. At that point, no matter how hard it is, most raiders are on that grind. Then try dropping the hero's into an arena.....

I dunno. The idea of "hero" is pretty relative, it doesn't have to mean overpowered. The problem with balance is 27 instead of 9. The rest of the IGN report doesn't fit well with other observations, though. And yeah, they said "hero classes" as they originally intended were pretty much dead. Doesn't mean they didn't redesign them, though.

It probably goes without saying, but they can't just give all the classes 10 more points. Can you imagine a warrior with BT and MS? /cower

This was said last time - but in most of those cases Blizzard either moved around talents to prevent it, or made the higher ends of the tree that much more appealing.

10 more points would make dagger choices interesting. Mutilate would be able to put every new point into extra damage, one of those being Blade Flurry.

What exactly went into the MPQ's in 2.1?

A good post about it here: http://www.mmo-champion.com/index.php?topic=100.0
