Blizzard lately blew the lid off World of Warcraft’s upcoming 11.2 replace, Ghosts of Ok’aresh, and gamers at the moment are satisfied a brand new specialization for Demon Hunters may very well be within the playing cards.
Within the official Ghosts of Ok’aresh preview video, a second across the two minutes and 38 second mark with three Demon Hunters stands out. The Demon Hunter on the left seems to be to be Havoc (DPS) spec, whereas the one on the correct, sporting bulkier armor, definitely seems to be like a stand-in for a Vengeance (tank) Demon Hunter. The third Demon Hunter, positioned prominently in the course of the display screen, is decked out in Void-themed armor and wielding warglaives of distinct purple Void power.
The inclusion of a Void-powered Demon Hunter is definitely elevating eyebrows, particularly when mixed with a datamined capacity (through Icy Veins) from the upcoming 11.2 patch shopper actually labeled as “Demon Hunter Metamorphosis Void.” That has led gamers to imagine Blizzard is teasing a 3rd Void-focused spec that may very well be coming quickly.
It definitely appears potential that Demon Hunters will obtain a brand new technique to play both as a part of Ghosts of Ok’aresh, in a subsequent patch, or with the arrival of the sport’s subsequent Midnight growth. It is price noting the 11.2 replace will introduce a brand new raid, Manaforge: Omega, which incorporates an encounter towards a mysterious council of Void-powered Demon Hunters. With that in thoughts, it is easy to see how the sport’s current Demon Hunters might discover new energy within the wake of defeating this council.
Blizzard is not asserting something in the intervening time, nevertheless it would not be the primary time a category has acquired a 3rd specialization out of the blue. Throughout Dragonflight, Blizzard added a 3rd, unannounced specialization for Evokers known as Augmentation that had ties to the sport’s ongoing story, with a raid boss even utilizing Augmentation spells like Ebon Would possibly previous to the specialization being formally added. Demon Hunters are at the moment the one class within the sport with simply two specializations, so receiving a 3rd one with ties to the sport’s present story would make full sense.
For now, gamers should wait and see what Blizzard is cooking up, however there are nonetheless loads of different options coming in Ghosts of Ok’aresh for gamers to be enthusiastic about. The replace will function a stunning The Burning Campaign sequel, as gamers journey to the destroyed Ethereal homeworld to cease Dimensius, the biggest boss in WoW historical past. Along with a brand new zone, dungeon, and raid, gamers will earn an upgradeable artifact cloak that can be utilized to rework into an power type with a purpose to work together with the world in new methods. Ghosts of Ok’aresh will moreover add new asynchronous multiplayer options paying homage to Darkish Souls to WoW’s Delves.
As for when WoW’s most anticipated new function, participant housing, will arrive, Blizzard nonetheless hasn’t mentioned. Nevertheless, in a latest hands-on preview, we mentioned even the early model of WoW’s participant housing system already presents near-endless potentialities.
