Possible Class Leaks on Cataclysm Expansion

Boubouile at www.mmo-champion.com, put his speculations about the possible upcoming Cataclysm Expansion into a new post.

Basically he is claiming that the new Races for Alliance and Horde are going to be Worgen and Goblins. Also he says that additionally new available class combinations are:

New Possible Cataclysm Class Combinations

• Human Hunter
• Orc Mage
• Night Elf Mage
• Dwarf Mage
• Blood Elf Warrior
• Dwarf Shaman
• Undead Hunter
• Tauren Paladin
• Tauren Priest
• Gnome Priest
• Troll Druid

This made me think, since stuff like Undead Hunter or Tauren Priest doesn’t really make sense to me. I noticed that Blizzard has been trying to even out numbers of mounts available for each faction, etc for quite some time.

So my speculation is what if you list up sum up current classes and add the ones listed above. Not like I am really sure about any of this, but it would not surprise me, especially since teh classes would fit quite well, too.

Worgen Druid

With the changes above Horde will have 2 druid races (Tauren,Troll), while Alliance has onlyNight Elves.

Alliance: Night Elf = 1
Horde: Tauren + Troll Druid = 2

Worgen would make perfect sense, as they are shapeshifters by nature and it would even out the numbers.

Worgen Hunter

Alliance: Night Elves, Dwarves, Draenei + Human Hunter = 4
Horde: Orcs, Tauren, Trolls, Blood Elves + Undead Hunter = 5

Alliance is missing 1 race and it would make perfect sense, too.

Worgen Warlock

Alliance: Gnomes, Humans = 2
Horde: Orcs, Undead, Blood Elves = 3

Alliance is missing 1 race and Duskwood already has some of those.

Worgen Shaman

Alliance: Draenei + Dwarf Shaman = 2
Horde: Orcs, Tauren, Trolls = 3

Shamans are tied up with nature, so this would make some sense – and some wishfull thinking, because that would make me reroll for sure.

Goblin Paladin

Alliance: Humans, Dwarves, Draenei = 3
Horde: Blood Elves + Tauren Paladin = 2

Goblin Mages

Alliance: Humans, Gnomes, Draenei + Night Elf Mage + Dwarf Mage = 5
Undead, Trolls, Blood Elves + Orc Mage = 4

Goblin Priest

Alliance: Humans, Dwarves, Night Elves, Draenei + Gnome Priest = 5
Horde: Undead, Trolls, Blood Elves 3 + Tauren Priest = 4

Worgen Warrior, Goblin Warrior

Alliance: Night Elves, Dwarves, Draenei, Humans, Dwarves = 5
Goblin: Undead, Trolls, Orcs, Tauren + Blood Elf  Warrior = 5

This just as specualtion, since all races have warrior as class

Worgen Death Knight, Goblin Death Knight

Policy with Death Knights is „available to all races“ and I guess it wil stay that way.

Keep in mind that this is all speculation and just my personal thoughts about the listed changes on mmo-champion.com. I have left out rogues, because it would not make sense for either of these races and because their number is balanced.

Feel free to leave your thoughts below.
