Class Fantasy

The World of Warcraft development team released a new blog post yesterday on Hero Talents, and while it didn't go as in-depth as previous articles it does a nice job of summarizing all 39 flavors of new class fantasies.

The idea of 'class fantasy' in World of Warcraft has been bandied about longer than the actual terminology for it, which gained prominence during Legion.

World of Warcraft has a lot of tier sets.

If you were playing World of Warcraft back in Legion, you may remember the phrase class fantasy because it got bandied around a lot when Blizzard reworked classes.

World of Warcraft's expansions have become known for their wide, sweeping changes, and systems overhauls every time a new one comes out.

It doesn’t matter if you’ve been roleplaying for years, or you’re a brand new roleplayer -- sometimes we slip up.

Legion has focused on a return to "class fantasy" at the core of each class, and that has me wondering -- does that core class fantasy change depending on when a player started playing WoW?

Legion has been an expansion all about “class fantasy” – a deeper exploration into what it means to be a member of a particular class.

We just got patch 7.2 a week ago and already Blizzard is talking about what's coming in patch 7.2.5, which is an encouraging sight if you're hoping for smoother content releases in Legion.

So, I have a bunch of armor sets on the dummies in my Order Hall, but many of them aren’t complete in the Wardrobe. I was baffled by this until I went and looked at them and found out that while the dummies don’t seem to care, the Wardrobe demands bracers in many cases.

I have to go farm like thirty bracers now.

This is not making me at all happy.

Here’s the Queue. Let’s talk Blizzard.
