Cataclysm – What does the new WoW expansion have to offer?

A whole new World of Warcraft!  A new head honcho named Deathwing lurks in the depths, Azeroth is fixing to get plowed up and “formed” anew, and you’ll be able to fly everywhere with your mounts.  In addition, Worgens (Werewolf-like creatures) and Goblins will be entering the World of Warcraft as new races, new race and class combinations will be possible, the maximum level will be raised to 85, Archeology will be introduced as a secondary profession (which is understandable with Azeroth going to ruin yet again…Warcraft 1, anyone?), numerous new battlegrounds and high-end raids ­– oh, the humanity! Our World of Warcraft friends are really getting excited now, no more worrying about boredom, eh?

More skills and more variety for your char!

Blizzard could have made things easy and just slapped 10 more levels into the game, but instead they decided to “only” add 5 new levels.  However, once you hit 85, a new talent tree will be introduced: The path of the titans – this tree gives you access to a whole new set of passive skills and unique spells regardless of your class!  With this tidbit, the WoW talent system should get much richer and more interesting.  Furthermore, the bonuses that the talent tree now throws out will be displayed in a much clearer, well laid-out fashion – the days of calculating miniscule bonus points will therefore be over.

Finally, a monster-like race for the Alliance! The Worgens, a werewolf-like race from Gilneas, possess the skill “Dark flight” (70% increased movement speed for 6 seconds), will deal 1% more damage, are especially resistant to diseases and curses (15% reduced duration), will have a skinning bonus (+15, does not need a skinning knife) and morph automatically into Worgen form while in battle.  As a Worgen, you’ll be able to choose any class except for Paladins or Shamans.  Worgens start at level 1 in Gilneas.

The Horde will ally themselves with the mercantile and technically gifted Goblins.  As a Goblin, you’ll always get the best prices from NPC merchants, can call a “Pack Hobgoblin” (a Hobgoblin brings you your items from the bank), you get a 15 point bonus in Alchemy as well as a 1% bonus to spell haste rating and haste rating on top of an awesome “Rocket Jump”, (a belt) which you can activate every 2 minutes to jump up to 20 yards – or you can shoot your opponent with the rockets.  Goblins can be anything except Paladins or Druids and start out at level 1 on the Lost Isles.

The World of World of Warcraft will change!

7 new zones await you: Twilight Highlands, Mount Hyjal, Deepholm, Uldum, Gilneas, The Lost Isles, and the Sunken City of Vashj’ir!  The new “Phasing” technology that we all oohed and aahed at in WotLK, will be expanded all across Azeroth.  During the course of the game, you’ll be confronted with floods, ever-increased lava crevices that go deeper and deeper into the earth, and entire woods will be felled…

The Death Mines and Shadowfang Keep will be converted to heroic level 85 instances; numerous other brand-new instances will be added.  New PvP arenas will also be included.

In general, you’ll find that many old and known areas will be changed completely.  The Horde conquers South Shore, Auberdine will be destroyed (the Elves flee to the north), the Stonetalon Mountains will be a lava-filled outpost of hell, the orc city Orgrimmar will be destroyed and in the process of rebuilding, Desolace will be flooded on certain corners and ends, and will be enriched will flora and fauna.  Furthermore, Elemental Domains will come into play, among others the Firelands with its Firelord, a mighty Rager who wants to burn the World Tree!  The main enemy, however, will be Deathwing, ruler of the black Dragon Clan with nearly limitless power.

The most important change is the fact that all areas will be accessible to flying mounts in the future!
