Summary
A leaked Blizzard survey has revealed a large selection of possible new classes for WOW Forever Gold. Unlike earlier surveys that mainly presented broad class concepts, this survey contains much more developed lore, abilities, roles, and gameplay ideas. The concepts include San'layn, Demon Hunter, Death Knight, Monk, Tinker, Bard, Necromancer, Warden, Illusionist, Witch, and Rune Master. However, these remain unconfirmed concepts from a leaked survey, so players should not assume every class will be added.
1. San'layn
The San'layn are vampiric elves connected to the undead. The concept suggests that some escaped alongside the Forsaken and are now loosely accepted by both factions. Their central theme is controlling an endless thirst for blood while retaining their powers.
Gameplay could include plate armor, melee weapons, shields, tanking, dual-wielding, melee DPS, and casting. Sample abilities include Bloodbolt, which costs health, defensive effects that transfer damage to enemies, and Vampiric Bite, which provides major healing and damage bonuses before eventually giving the same benefits to the bitten target.
2. Demon Hunter and Death Knight
The proposed Demon Hunter would be closer to the Warcraft 3 version than the highly mobile Legion class. It would begin at level one and could focus on abilities such as Mana Burn and Immolation rather than double jumps and gliding.
The Death Knight concept similarly removes several iconic modern abilities, including Death Grip and Army of the Dead. Its design would use earlier Warcraft ideas rather than simply importing the modern class into Forever.
3. Monk and Tinker
The Monk would be a more limited version, without abilities such as Roll and Stagger.
The Tinker is based on Warcraft 3's technology-focused hero. Players could use mech suits and jump out when their machines are destroyed. The class could also introduce Wrenches as a new weapon type and potentially provide a Support role. Supply Drop, for example, could heal allies and provide combat enhancements.
4. Bard and Necromancer
Bards would be another Support-focused class. They could sing or play instruments while healing and buffing allies, with musical instruments potentially becoming their weapon type.
Necromancers would focus on undead magic. The concept includes summoning bones, controlling multiple corpses, and exploding them for damage. This could provide a more dedicated necromancer fantasy than existing classes.
5. Warden, Illusionist and Witch
Wardens are inspired by Warcraft 3 and could use powerful rogue-like mobility, while their lore suggests a connection to Elune. However, creating a convincing Horde version could be challenging.
Illusionists would be ranged leather-wearing casters who summon mirror images and magical creatures such as Murlocs. Players could potentially learn new creature illusions by fighting those creatures.
The Witch would use primordial "old magic," combining elemental powers, rituals, and folk magic. Possible abilities include creating blood golems and placing a cauldron that affects allies and enemies during combat.
6. Rune Master
The Rune Master draws heavily from Titan and Dwarven lore. Players would carve Titan runes into their bodies and weapons, transforming them through powers associated with iron, silver, and lead.
Its proposed rune system appears related to the original inspiration for the Death Knight rune mechanic. Abilities such as Silvered Wind would reinforce its ancient Titan-themed identity.
7. Conclusion
The leaked survey presents a much broader vision for possible WoW Forever classes. San'layn, Necromancer, Witch, Rune Master, Tinker, and Warden each offer distinct Warcraft-inspired themes, while Demon Hunter, Death Knight, Monk, Bard, and Illusionist explore different interpretations of WOW Forever Gold for Sale familiar concepts. None of these survey concepts should be treated as confirmed playable classes yet, but their detailed designs provide an interesting look at the directions Blizzard may be exploring for WoW Forever.
