Shadowlands release is nearing, the beta is upon us and Blizzard decided to officially show the class changes coming with the World of Warcraft expansion to those not participating in the testing. The list is bulky and here are the changes for two of the classes.
Blizzard described some of the class changes coming with Shadowlands and even with the short descriptions, there are plenty to go around. We highlighted Death Knight and Demon Hunter changes in this article, with more to come.
