Comment by KaharuleWtf is Herald of the Sun even? Do you announce that the Sun will rise each morning?Comment by macix101Since Ion said some of these are WIP and may be changed / replaced, here's my copium wishlist:
Death Knight - Necromancer (San'layn is awesome, would have asked for it but it's there)
Demon Hunter - Hunter of the Moon (Tyrande style DH, we now know it's possible)
Druid - Druid of the Flame (duh)
Priest - Inquisitor (Scarlet Crusade or Venthyr themed focusing on torture and confessions)
Hunter - Shadowhunter (probably instead of Pack Leader), and Sentinel should have some Chakram skills
Shaman - Witch Doctor and Tidesage (focused on Nature damage spells and Water/Ice spells, respectively)
Warlock - Lich (just use some Maldraxxus spells idc, Death and Fel are both green, Liches are cool)
Warrior - Warden and Blademaster (Glaive combat and Samurai stuff)

Edit:
Paladin - Spellbreaker (instead of Lightsmith, what even is that)
Monk - something focusing on Fan-based melee combat or improving Teas/Brews/Kegs
Evoker - Primalist or Aberration (learning to use elemental or void powers like Sarky and Vyr)
Mage - Chronomancer (Elysande, Mages had time magic way before Evokers so it fits them too)
Rogue - Spellblade (magical venoms, turns physical finisher into spell damage)Comment by Rickk21Wtf is Herald of the Sun even?

Do you announce that the Sun will rise each morning?Comment by 2325093The names are unfortunately very race thematic. The Druid ones are very Night Elf, the Monk ones Pandaren. Mountain Thane is a Dwarf title.

Are we ready for Blood Elf Mountain Thanes? Worgen Keepers of the Grove? Dark Iron Shadow-Pan? I think the concept might be ok if the names were a bit more neutral.

Its probably one of the biggest mistakes they've made in the past - such as Monks being inextricably linked to Pandaren culture. Instead of keeping it more neutral and open to the player's interpretation. E.g. human monks being more like Scarlet monks.

This forces an identity on your character that may not be wanted.Comment by KirillusWtf is Herald of the Sun even? Do you announce that the Sun will rise each morning?Comment by bluebird91Since Ion said some of these are WIP and may be changed / replaced, here's my copium wishlist:

Some names are a bit iffy, but it's not carved in stone.

Everything about this expansion seems absolutely fantastic.

But man, that cinematic just TANKED my hype so hard....Comment by TryndisHuge missed opportunity for "Necromancer" for Death KnightsComment by ReverandWtf is Herald of the Sun even? Do you announce that the Sun will rise each morning?Comment by ptioineI really, really want to be whatever Mountain Thane is but I'd bet a buck that's the Prot - Arms one, and I usually play Fury.Comment by avm1997Please for the love of god just have these be flavor... this will be Shadowlands all over again...Comment by DeadarthSince Ion said some of these are WIP and may be changed / replaced, here's my copium wishlist:

I was really hoping to see Elune's Grace and Starshards to come back.Comment by ptioineHow is Moon Priest NOT a Hero Spec for Priests? They're literally the most iconic priests in the lore.Comment by GilneanAs a DK, what a massive disappointment.. :/
I expected San'layn for blood, but hoped something Lich-like for frost.
But the biggest thing, where is Necromancer for unholy, that was the first thing i thought about when they announced Hero Talents..Comment by Wahoo123gaSeems like a massive missed opportunity to diverge class flavour from the existing subclasses, at least in some cases. Warlock and Mage are especially obvious and it just seems like a waste.

Warlock could get something blood themed, or void flavour, instead of what we already have but again.Comment by warlocktanklol mages. they should make these with the class in mind. not by specs. and some of these are super wtf like mages. sunfury? big nope.
