Spellbreaker Class? Hope this doesn't come true...

Yet another post about the upcoming expansion, only this one I'm really hoping doesn't come true or it will spell the end for Warlocks pretty much...

Also, the max level 75? makes it highly unlikely...

New Class: Spell Breaker

Spell Breaker - Among the Blood Elves, there are those who show such an amazing aptitude for magic that they can become almost immune to it's effects and can even twist the spells of others to benefit themselves. Called Spellbreakers, they were the elite, holding mastery over all forms of magic. Now, with demonic blood flowing through their veins, these Spellbreakers and their allies among the Naga and Draenei have begun to evolve into demons themselves, with the most powerful able to manipulate the fabric of the Twisting Nether.

Spell breakers begin the game with leather armor but are able to use mail once they reach level fourty.

Examples of Specific Abilities:

Shadow Orbs: Summons several shadowy spheres to circle the caster's body. This spell will increase the player's parry/block rate, with each parry or block causing shadow damage to the attacker. Each attack blocked/parried in this fashion will cause an orb to violently explode, causing minor arcane damage to the attacker and decreasing the number of orbs surrounding the player until all orbs are gone and the effect ends. 30 second cooldown.

Demon Fangs: Fangs are often the first demonic trait evolved by Spellbreaker characters. Using this ability will cause you to attempt to bite your enemy, causing shadow damage and causing a Damage over Time debuff on the opponent, unless resisted. 3 minute cooldown.

Fel Strike: The Spellbreaker's weapon is charged with demonic energy, causing extra shadow damage every hit. Lasts five minutes.

Dark Whispers: Has a 75% chance to temporarily lower nearby enemies' attack power by 10%, lower their hit points by 5%, or lower their mana by 5%. Has a 25% chance to buff nearby enemies' attack power by 10%, hit points by 10%, or mana by 10%. Effect is random on every target. 1 Minute Cooldown.

Fel Concentration: Has a 50% chance to either slow casting time of the target by 10%, or making it 10% faster. May be used on Party Members or enemies. Lasts 5 seconds. 15 second cooldown.

Talent Trees:

Fel Protection - Centered around defensive abilities that allow the Spellbreaker a chance to survive when up against melee classes.

Fel Combat - Talents used to improve offensive spells and abilities used by the Spellbreaker.

Spellbreaking - Talents used to attempt to increase spell the spell resistances of the Spellbreaker.

Example Talents:

Spell Alignment: The caster attempts to align his body with the next spell cast upon him. Once hit by the spell, his body 'aligns' to that spell's school, making him immune to that spell school for 20 seconds. Lasts until a hostile spell is cast on the Spellbreaker. 15 minute cooldown. LEVEL 40 TALENT - Fel Protection.

Spell Reflection: For 20 seconds, all positive and negative spells used on the Spellbreaker are reflected at the caster. 15 minute cooldown. LEVEL 40 TALENT - Fel Combat.

Spell Absorbtion: For 20 seconds, all spells used on the Spellbreaker will cause normal damage, but the mana cost of the spell is added to the Spellbreaker's mana. LEVEL 40 TALENT - Spellbreaking.

Improved Demon Fangs: Damage caused by the bite of the demon fangs does 5%/10%/15% more damage and has its cooldown reduced by 15/30/60 seconds. 3 ranks. FEL COMBAT.

Melee Specialization: Chance to cause shadow damage on hit with a melee weapon is increased by 10%/20%. 2 ranks. FEL COMBAT.Improved Shadow Orbs: Damage caused by the shadow orbs is increased by 10%/20%/30%. 3 ranks. FEL PROTECTION.

Shadow Shield: Increases your chance to block with a shield by 2%/4%/6%/8%/10%. Also gives a chance to cause shadow damage equal to the amount of damage that had been blocked to the attacker by 5%/10%/15%/20%/25%. 5 ranks. FEL PROTECTION.

Fire Resistance: Increases your resistance to fire spells by 2/4/6/8/10. 5 ranks. SPELLBREAKING.

Frost Resistance: Increases your resistance to frost spells by 2/4/6/8/10. 5 ranks. SPELLBREAKING.

Shadow Resistance: Increases your resistance to shadow spells by 2/4/6/8/10. 5 ranks. SPELLBREAKING.

Arcane Resistance: Increases your resistance to arcane spells by 2/4/6/8/10. 5 ranks. SPELLBREAKING.


Max Level Increased


The max level players may now reach has been increased to 75, and many new max-level raid instances have been added to the game world.

New Races

Horde
Five races compromise the Horde, the brutal orcs, the shadowy undead, the spiritual tauren, the quick-witted trolls, and the reckless blood elves. Beset by enemies on all sides, these outcasts have forged a union tey hope will ensure their mutual survival.

Blood Elves
Serving Illidan to satiate their magical addiction, the blood elves have grown stronger than they ever imagined. But even now, with demonic magic in constant supply, many of the blood elves are hungering for even more magic.

Racial Traits:
Demonic Corruption - Due to their corrupted blood and their hunger for magic, the Blood Elves begin the game with +10 resistances to all types of magic. In Addition, all of their resistances to magical spells and effects, excluding Nature, are increased by 8%.

Available Classes: Warrior, Rogue, Mage, Priest, Warlock, Spellbreaker

Alliance
The Alliance consists of five races: the noble humans, the adventurous dwarves, the enigmatic night elves, the ingenious gnomes, and the mysterious draenei. Bound by a loathing for all things demonic, they fight to restore order in this war-torn world.

Draenei
Nearly wiped out by the Orcs during the early days of the Horde and then faced with the destruction of their entire world, the Draenei have become adept at survival and avoiding danger. Even knowing that the Burning Legion is the ultimate cause for their suffering, the Draenei survivors hope that their pact with the Alliance, and Illidan, will someday grant them a new homeland and, most importantly, help them in the eradication of their most hated enemy, the Orcs.

Racial Traits:
Unseen - Once every ten minutes, the Draenei may go invisible for fifteen seconds. This effect may not be cancelled, and the Draenei cannot attack or cast any spells, and they are also considered to be "in combat" for the entire time of this effect.

Available Classes: Warrior, Rogue, Hunter, Spellbreaker

Not going to quote anymore as I don't think any of this will come true, if you want to read... http://www.wowguru.com/forums/showth...5268#post55268

Not sure if WoWGuru are hooked on making things up, or if all this so called "leaked" info really is true...

ICECROWN MOUNTAIN:
Icecrown mountain is the most difficult instance to ever be in Azeroth, and will challenge anyone to stand against the power of not only the Lich King's armies, and his most trusted lieutenant, Anub'arak, but also the Immortal Lich King himself.

This is a 100-player max level raid instance, and will challenge the Horde and Alliance to work together to defeat the Immortal Lich King. To have the full 100 players, 50 players of max level on Horde and 50 players of max level on Alliance must work together, merging both groups of 50 into one large raid party. Upon Icecrown, Horde and Alliance may not attack eachother at any time, but are instead able to aid eachother. Leaders of the Argent Dawn have also worked together to teach the Alliance and Horde to understand both, Common and Orcish, so they may communicate as they work together to defeat the Immortal Lich King
I will become my Imp's Pet if they allow Alliance and Horde to raid together. These so called expansion "info" leaks are getting worse lol

I really hope its a lie

after reading them on my guild forum, im very hopeful that those arent the real notes. for one thing, they are VERY poor in terms of new content or really developing the game farther. we DONT need new instances, we need new content.

also an anti caster class? i thought that was what they made shamans for ;)

Those notes are fake. The information in these patch notes do not match the information coming from more reputable sources. There are scanned copies of the November issue of the Italian magainze The Game Machine floating around the WoW community. There are several differences between the magazine article and these "leaked noted". The glaring mistakes are the awful grammar, the incrased level cap, and the blood elf racial traits.

I'm inclined to believe the information leaked from the magazine is accurate, as the person that was hosting the scanned data was contacted by Viviendi's Attack Lawyers.

I dont think that mistakes in grammar are an indication that notes are fake. If there is a leak (lets just assume it) then why should it be in the english-speaking part of the company? The expansion will have to be translated in different languages and i dont think it unlikely that information was "stolen" there....this would mean that the information could be french or german for example, and gets tranlated by the "thief", resulting in horrible grammar...like my own post :roll:

Sorry, I wasn't very clear in my previous post (yay for trying to make sense on four hours of sleep). All of the information leaked from the Italian magazine appears to be legitimate. The screenshots of Karahzan and the blood elf starting zone are too good to be faked. The textures for the contents of those screenshots aren't even in the game, so it would be impossible for someone outside of Blizzard to fake them.

The so called "expansion notes" did not come from the magazine, as they directly contradict the information people have managed to translate from scans of the magazine interior. My comment about the poor grammar was in reference to the "expansion notes", not the english translations of the magazine article. It's also worth noting that the version of the "leaked notes" post here is not complete. The version I saw started with a multi-paragraph description of the plot of the Burning Crusade. The number of spelling and grammatical errors in that plot practicly screamed, "I'm fake! I'm fake!"

don't match any of the other leaked information from the

Just want to point out I wasn't leaking these here, I was just showing what I had found. I purposely didn'y post the entire thing because as I said in my original post...

I just wish they had a comparable melee breaker class. Perhaps martial artist or something of that sort?

I actually really miss the EQ's Monk type class... but as they don't have one handed staffs in WoW, and fist items can be pretty rare, I doubt that will ever happen
