World of Warcraft: Dragonflight players combed through the game’s upcoming 10.1 Embers of Neltharion update in the MMO’s public test realm and uncovered evidence that makes them believe the third specialization of the game’s new Evoker class is coming. bottom.
A class dedicated to the new dragon-like Draxil race, the Evoker was introduced as part of the October 2022 Dragonflight pre-patch. It now comes with two specializations for players to choose from, Devastation and Preservation, with a focus on the former. Deals ranged magic damage, the latter heals allies and prevents damage. This is his second class in WoW, alongside Demon Hunter, which only sports two specializations, as opposed to his three in the standard.
However, fans believe a third specialization could be on the card, based on datamined quests found in the game’s PTR.As reported by wow head, an Evoker-specific quest titled “Our Destiny” now features placeholder text referring to “a new specialization to remember”, revealed in the game’s 10.0.7 patch (released March 21). It mentions that the mystery that has become is about to be solved. Later in the quest chain, the player is tasked with helping the black dragon Ebisian conquer boss-level enemies. It says that you can either help or damage the boss to complete the quest instead.
The quest text about the new specialization, combined with the reference to “boosting” allies instead of directly healing them, should make fans more aware of this third, yet to be announced or confirmed by Blizzard. I have come to believe that the specialization of can be a second healing or support. Evoker specialization.
Some fans expected a tank specialization for Evokers, but a recent interview with the content creator towelery WoW Associate Game Director Morgan Day thinks it’s unlikely. However, Day did not dismiss the idea of new specializations being added entirely, saying it had never been done before.
“I mean, we’ve never really added specs, so I can’t speak to that,” Day said when asked about the possibility of adding tank specialization. , when we’re talking about evokers we wanted to add a ranged DPS spec that’s the goal and they have big old wings so there’s a lot of discussion about how it’s going to be at close range There is… and so on… tanks were discussed in the early days when evokers caught our eye.”
There is currently only one other class in the game with two support specializations. It’s a priest. His one of the specializations, Holy, focuses on healing allies directly, while Discipline focuses on helping allies prevent or absorb damage. Perhaps a third, his Evoker specialization will go down that route, but until more information is uncovered, fans can only speculate.
Blizzard recently blew the lid on the game’s 10.1 update, but couldn’t officially mention the new Evoker specialization. The idea may have been scrapped and accidentally mentioned in the game’s test build. Or it could just be that Blizzard is about to announce a new specialization as a surprise at a later date.
Players can look forward to Dragonflight patch 10.1, even if the third Evoker specialization doesn’t come. It currently doesn’t have a release date, but it will introduce new raids, massive underground zones, cross-faction guilds, and big changes. to his Mythic+ system in the game. Meanwhile, in patch 10.0.7, players can return to Draxil’s starting zone, the Forbidden Reach, to uncover their racial origins and earn powerful new rings.
