World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade

| 0 Comments

Blizzard has announced the new Burning Crusade expansion set race for the Alliance, Wisps! . According to the Blizzard Website:


    The introduction of Wisps allows a new and exciting game mechanic: permanent death. The ability that destroyed Archimonde is available to all Wisps as a racial ability. This power, Detonate, destroys the Wisp in an explosion of energy, sapping the mana of all surrounding adventurers, friend and foe alike. This should provide an extremely interesting addition to the many adventures of Warcraft, particularly when pitted against other players!
    Racial Traits:

    • Detonate: Destroys the wisp, dispelling all magical buffs and draining 50 mana from each unit in an area around the wisp.
    • Gatherer: Skill to herbalism, mining, and skinning increased by 10.
    • Permanent Death
    • Treeform: Turns the wisp into a tree for 30 seconds. During this time, spirit is increased by 300. However, the wisp's chance to dodge or parry axes is reduced by 50%.


Let's not forget that today is April Fool's Day, and they did a similar joke 2 years ago for the final Horde race, as being the two headed ogre.
