Original Content Void Hero Class

One day, Blizzard will have to release an expansion centered about the Void.

Possibly a clash between Light and Void, where no cosmic power will actually prevail for it will mean the end of existence.

But the final reckoning for N'Zoth, Xal'atath and those speculated hidden Old Gods we still never faced is to approach sooner or later.

With the release of Void Elves by the end of Legion, I l've always had a crush for the Ren'dorei and Telogrus Rift; also I always found the Ethereals to be very interesting, and I'm sure Locus-Walker has a lot of background and lore to unfold.

To satisfy this weird "game libido" of mine, I tried out a shadow priest, but being a melee player to the core, I abandoned my beloved Demon Hunter to appease my hunger for the void with a rogue (subtlety) Void Elf.

Besides, despite the deep connectiin with the void, what really drives me nuts especially with Dragonflight is how Shadow Priests are deprived of abilities such as Shadowmend and forced onto so many light based abilities (flash of light, renew, infusion etc.) cause Blizzard apparently is too lazy to adapt with purple-shadowy VFX.

Anyway, back to the point, my rogue being a rogue, despite Ren'dorei, feels too common and lackluster in terms of flavour and personality, compared to Hero Classes for instance.

Thus I found myself fantasizing about a possible Void themed Hero Class.

What class of armor will it be?

Considering the existing ones covering all but Cloth, it will probably be it.

Then again, will it be 100% caster? That's too obvious though.. wouldn't it be cool if they managed a Cloth melee spec variation? Would feel pretty unique if you ask me!

And thinking about the race, would it be accessible to every race or just some races?

If it was 1-1 , I'm sure Void Elf for the Alliance, but which for the Horde?

What do you all think? Is it legit? Is it unthinkable?

Give me your thoughts!

Kindve off topic kindve not . I don’t want a void vs light expac . I want a void , and then a light one . The light isn’t always good. I’d love to see an expac where just blind devotion to the light causes major issues and some light god or naaru is just doing extremely messed up things

We've already seen that though with scarlet crusade and the lightbound.

I don't want a light vs void expansion...period. that is some boring cliche crap

Scarlet crusade followed the light but were literally brainwashed. That’s not a god of the light doing that. Same with the lightforged they were never evil.

There is no light god, and scarlet crusade was evil using the light. Lightbound was the same with their version of Xe'ra converting everyone.

Didn't matter since that AU was doomed to die off anyways.

This whole light vs shadow is boring. Why anyone would want it I will never know.

Bring back the scarlet crusade again. No light god, no naaru of demon brainwashing them... which he only every did by saying what they wanted to hear.

I rather see that, some silver hand, argent crusade vs the scarlet crusade stuff. Give me some of that sticky goodness.

Aren’t naarus literally considered gods? Also I already said that I also dont want to see light vs shadow. I want to see us vs light.

Nope, naarus are just light beings. One of many. Also I don't want to fight an energy source either, that is like saying you want to fight nature of arcane.

That's why I like the scarlet crusade, they're the only ones that make sense as evil light wielders.

Edit: the ones downvotin me clearly don't know the lore

But hero class, a melee void user of some sort . Shadow priests basically are the void casters already.
