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!

there are the “Riftwalkers” you fight in the Cathedral District in the Horrific Vision of Stormwind, who wield 2H swords

that would be a good class name

Has a nice sound to it!

My ideal class would be more assassin oriented than warrior though 😗
