Recommended Posts

Sercan Özyurt doesn't just do really really awesome art concepts for armor, mounts etc, as he also seems to dabble in gameplay concepts as well and today we get to check out his "Heroic specialization" for the Monk class, the Sha Bender!

Since we're clearly not getting a new class every 2 expansions anymore, Sercan decided adding to existing class fantasies would be the way to go, with these smaller in scale Heroic specs. Let's get into the cool art and then see the detailed description of the concept below, but it all sounds like a pretty great idea.

-Introduction-

As you know, blizzard always tried to implement new classes on almost every 2 expansion. Our community always wanted to see new class variations based on lore (blademaster, warden, tinker etc) On these days, creating new class is very easy to imagine but very hard to implement to in-game because there is some restrictions about game combat balance. On shadowlands, there are no option for balance or current class fantasy if players have aims on pve or pvp content. So, I decided to create new ''Heroic Specializations'' besides of Heroic class for less balancing and avoiding huge build ups for a new class. Current Classes have much more potential to become 4th, 5th specilazitations with bound of lore.

-About Sha Bender Storyline-

In my fictional questline, Pandaria united again after nzoth invasion and they decided to select new Emperor as a voice of Pandaria on New World. (They never explored azeroth for a long time, They called New World to earth itself) Pandaria natives selects Pandaren - Yang Xin (I fallowed chinease culture to pick that name, it can also change) as a leader. On his celebretation at hearth of pandaria, Taran-zhu warns young emperor for anomally sha activities on pandaria. New emperor listened Taran-zhu and Lorewalker Cho guidence and sends shado-pan rangers with monk Player to sha activities. Players will learn more about sha activities. Old Shado-pan martial art master ''Wuon Za-him'' tries to bending emotions of evil and Taran-zhu afraids that power consumes him. Wuon beats Taran-zhu and warns the emperor for his destiny. Also it gives secret message to player with note of Order of Sha Cult location. As a player, we secretly fallow the message without informing Taran-zhu. On secret monastery, Wuon summons terrible sha creatures with evil emotions and he teaches ''we don't need to avoid our feelings, we must control them'' by controling his evil manipulations. After this screnario, He offers to join Order of Sha and learn techics of Sha.

-About Wuon Za-him-

He was a martial art master of shado-pan, who always curious about power of sha. He tried show controling sha to their students but, Taran-zhu declines his teachings and exiled him from shado-pan.

-About Sha Bender Combat-

Sha Benders uses negative emotions besides of Monks. They can control evil manipulations as physical power. Their current chi, turns to dark chi. When they fight, their anger increases. When they unleashes their anger, it consumes his oppenent fear. They are master of Blade and dagger enhanced with martial arts.

I hope you like it!


It definitely sounds like a really cool concept that could be applied to basically all classes, and would possibly be a very good alternative to the current borrowed power paradigm we've been going through since Legion. So thanks a lot to Sercan once more, and make sure to check him out over on his Artstation.

GW2 do that and it work pretty well, won't be against it, but would be complicated with balance and so on.. You know, giving Blizzard work outside of regular open space harassment

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
