Mists of Pandaria: Launch Date Confirmed


Well it's official...... World of Warcraft's 4th expansion will go live on the 25th of September 2012. Along with a new continent, pet battles, scenarios, new level cap (90), a new race (hello Mr & Mrs Panda), Challenge modes, Dungeons and Raids (wooo!!) - we have a NEW class in the monk.

Monks are a druid style hybrid class that can full-fill any one of the 3 roles within the game (Tank, DPS and Heals). It should be quite fun to see what impact this new class will have on raid setups, specifically because of past class introductions - eg. the Death Knight.

When the DK was introduced into the Azeroth all hell broke loose. Suddenly there was this "Hero Class" capable of tanking in 3 different specs. Servers saw a massive increase in tanks available but because they started levelling at 55 as opposed to the standard lvl 1 very few actually learned the ins and outs of their beloved plate wearing hero.

Monks however will start out at lvl 1, just like every other class within the game. Because of this be prepared to get some stiff competition in raid line ups about a month into the expansion!

Even so we are Prot Warriors and we kick ass...... Excited doesn't cover this Warrior's current mood! Roll on the 25th of Sept!
