New Evoker Specialization: Augmentation

Emberthal and Ebyssian are working together to release the Black dragonflight essence that had been siphoned from the dracthyr during their long stasis, unlocking memories and powers forgotten to them. All Evokers can now choose to explore Azeroth as a new specialization: Augmentation. Read more about this new specialization in our preview article.

New Mega-Dungeon Dawn of the Infinite

The Infinite Dragonflight, long-standing enemies of the Bronze dragonflight, have worked hard to see their ultimate goal of triggering the transformation of Nozdormu, the Aspect of Time, into Murazond. This eight-boss Mythic-only mega-dungeon will take players across the timeways to stop the Infinite Dragonflight from succeeding. You’ll face Iridikron and Galakrond, among others, as you work to sustain Azeroth’s timeline and put things to rights once more.

Unravel the Time Streams

Join Together for Time Rifts

The time streams have become a bit more unstable with recent events and as the boundaries between the timelines weaken, minions from other timelines have begun making their way into Azeroth. Players will join together to take on Time Rifts, push back against the waves of minions, and plug the hole to set the timeways straight again.

Eon’s Fringe

Undertake new repeatable content in Eon’s Fringe as you work to settle the timeways and solve the problems brought about by their instability while reaping the rewards of a job well done.

Whelp Daycare

The dragons have more eggs than they can handle, so they've called in the crew at the Little Scales Daycare to help. The crew quickly finds itself overwhelmed and so has asked for a little help from their friends—you. You’ll guide five dragon whelps as they grow and learn about the dragon flights, earn Renown, and more.

 WTF BLIZZ. WTF? Night elf, Draenei and even Pandaren warlock and nothing about shamans, nothing.

Disgusting.

I'll be fair, Kul Tiran warlock makes sense, and Zandalari too;  the foes had powers and tapping them could attract some people.    Lots of flavor to support those. 

I would NOT see a Mag'har tapping that.  Just doesn't fit the honor of their people.   Your kilometres may vary.

Vulpera Paladins when, Blizz? 😿

"Slow down, pain is to be savored!"

These can always be explained as outliers among their societies. Shamans, paladins and druids should be next, but they all require specific assets for their races (totems, paladin mounts, druid forms). Looks like only dh and evoker could possibly remain locked to specific races.

Shamans don’t exist man! I think shamans was a mistake and they just left them in there. All this earth magic lore, and we still got the crappy *filtered* earthshock animation, the same dumb ascendence. Hell we can’t even get an elemental skin. How cool would it look when you use earthshock for a chuck of earth pop out and impale your target, or maybe we could get a defensive using earth magic that gives us a lil absorb shield.
