BlizzCon 2007 class panel updates

BlizzCon 2007 class panel updates and more - Image 1If you’ve been denied the opportunity to attend Blizzard‘s BlizzCon 2007 by some (tragic) twist of fate, but need to get updates on World of Warcraft, then you’ve come to the right place. The BlizzCon class panel discussion unearthed a few interesting facts and information that you will definitely want to know.

First up would be the biggest news regarding classes: Death Knights.

As some would know by now, these will be Hero Classes. The panel gave word that these classic Warcraft 3 characters will be having an “epic” feel to them. If by epic they mean butt-kicking Arthas style then that’s pretty awesome.

So far there are still a few class balance concerns. The biggest problem would be with tanking and this class overshadowing the others. However, since tanks are hard to come by in WoW, this addition still seems feasible.

Finally, it was announced that Death Knights will have their own Rune Resource system. What this means exactly, we don’t know, but what it implies seems really cool.

Secondly, the rest of the classes were discussed briefly.

One of the major concerns regarding classes is PvP balancing in 2v2 or 3v3 battles. Since WoW is not a dueling game according to the panel, class abilities in team PvP are considered weightier as opposed to single class vs. single class. Here are a few of the other updates you might want to know about:

  • Moonkin Itemization in the PvE environment is not supported currently and is being worked on.
  • Mages are the “experimental” class.
  • The three classes of the Paladin put the class in three different roles as opposed to, for example, the Mage who is DPS, regardless of spec.
  • Priest’s Lightwell will get some scaling from gear.

Of course there were other details discussed in the panel, so feel free to click on our read link to get more info. So far this BlizzCon is turning out to be one of the best events this year. Keep checking back here for more BlizzCon updates.
