There is no new class, just a new addition to the heavy armor class. The new profession is a heavy armor Ritualist.

^This.
And Rytlock is a revenant now I believe.

Inb4 Warrior turning to Dervish would be AWESOME

Colin said “complete new maps,” so I assume there will be more than one. But maybe that’s like one underground/ground/aboveground or something.

Bye warrior junky class. Been waiting for new heavy to arrive so now i can reroll in peace.

Thanks for the lists, Windu and Cure. There was a lot of information to take in, and it’s great you posted.

Gaile, next time you see Colin, can you please give him a giant hug from me?

what about new race?

Also Gaile since this thread is quite informative I’m requesting this be made into a sticky for people to use for future reference.

Aviate.1376:

Nothing announced so far, so no new race it seems.

I’m not a hugger… But a, “those extra high-maintenance players on the forums are really supportive so far,” would be great. ^.^

GVG! YAY! I’d better go and join a proper guild now…where did i put my headphones and built in mic?

So if the expansion is lvl 80 only, but they introduced a new profession, the revenant, will that mean the only way to level is by playing from the beginning of the original? (Even though canon-ly, the profession doesn’t even exist until the expansion) For example, Even though Rytlock is allegedly “the first revenant” will he (/enemies) be re-rolled from the start as one? Or will i magically be one before he even discovers it, and treat it like nothing, despite zero enemies/allies sharing the proffesion until i make it to the jungle?

The entire region could be pretty big too, so the individual maps could be big.
I’m curious to see how the new features will affect the old to be honest. It would be nice to see an upgrade to older zones/maps.

No problem ^^
