Wrath of the Lich King – Das kritische und exklusive Preview: Talente, Spells und Karte

So, mehr exklusiver Content, „and this is not a tarp“. Ja, tarp, stimmt so schon. Das, was ich versprach, waren Talente und Spells – nur leider wird’s damit großteilig ohne Bilder auskommen müssen. Ihr müsst mir also vertrauen. Aber das tut ihr ja sowieso, sonst hättet ihr diesen Blog schon lange geschlossen. Das wird jetzt, nur um euch vorzuwarnen, sehr sehr lang. Und ich lasse sogar nicht meinen Senf dazwischen ab, nur ein kleines bisschen.

Fangen wir doch mit dem Todesritter an, Spells und Talente.

Talentbäume (werden aber vermutlich bald entfernt): http://war-tools.darlinganime.com/index.php?i=deathknight.

Bäääm! Ist das sexy? Besonders Trauma und Titan’s Grip klingen sehr vielversprechend, damit ziehen die Offkrieger dann an den Schamanen und Schurken vorbei – hoffe ich. Viel zu lesen ist’s in jedem Fall, weshalb ich das ganze jetzt auflockern möchte. Denn: Ich hab euch verarscht. Natürlich gibt’s Bilder. Es gibt immer Bilder, wenn auch nicht zu den Talenten. Take this!

• Alle Horderassen als Todesritter.
• Eine InGame-Karte von Northrend.
• Und eine zusammengeflickte Minimapkarte, hochaufgelöst.

Sieht doch schon ganz vielversprechend alphamäßig aus. Nun seid ihr wieder wach? Gut, dann kann es ja weitergehen. Mit. Dem. Magier. Nachher. Bin gerade verhindert, kann also leider nicht weiterschreibseln. Dafür veröffentliche ich diesen Teil auch nicht heute Nacht, da gibt’s dann Teil 3 des exklusiven Inhaltsreports.

Und was da kommt? Ich sag’s euch, wenn ihr lieb und brav zuhört: Der Magier, der Druide, der Priester und der Hexenmeister. Für die anderen Klassen gibt’s noch so gut wie nichts – oder eben überhaupt nichts, beispielsweise für den Schurken. Dafür gibt’s nen Haufen Neuigkeiten zu den Berufen, unter anderem Infos über eine Menge Verzauberungen und auch zu Bergbau. Und: Veränderungen der Talentbäume von BC zu WotLK.

Nicht umschalten, ich komme wieder. Heute Nacht gibt’s mehr!
