‘Hybridizing’ hybrids in World of Warcraft
Amazingly, even while some players find it hard to find purpose in their class due to Blizzard‘s class ‘hybridization’ complex, many of the speccers and builders in World of Warcraft seem to have a penchant for mixing and matching classes in The Burning Crusade and the original WoW content.
Xdragonman of Zul’jin asked fellow players if they could combine two existing classes to identify those to classes and explain why. While games such as Dungeons & Dragons (especially those using the latest rules) allows players to “diversify” their class matrix, we couldn’t see why a WoW player would want to blend their already-blended character into another one.
But true enough, some mixes of class do present interesting combinations, although a choice of skill specialization and your preferred gameplay would greatly define what you’d choose overall. Shamadins, Shadowlocks, Shalocks…heck, anything combined with Warlock basically including its opposite class, the Paladin are wishful choices for the hopeful PvPer.
But “hybridizing,” as this blogger would coin it, might send your character back to concept classes from one other game – the motherlode, you might call it: Warcraft III. Let’s be a little realistic here: combining hybrid classes to form new hybrid classes would probably end up something like what Wrathbringer of Mug’Thol suggested:
Rogue + Warlock = Demon Hunter
Priest + Hunter = Priestess of the Moon
Hunter + Warlock = Dark Ranger
Warrior + Hunter = Beastmaster
Warrior + Shaman = Far Seer
Paladin + Warlock = Death Knight
Sounds familiar?
