Comment by kellorionGood ideaComment by bynarythe verbage on the title makes me think this is live in-game right now, may want to consider changingComment by ArrayaMaybe change it to Battle for Azeroth Class Guides Now LiveComment by BarhahOh, it DOES say 'guide' in the title. Still agree with posts #2 and #3, though, but I am less than sober right now.Comment by NulgarOr "Guide(s) to..."Comment by Sas148Made some minor updates to make it all a bit clearer. :)Comment by HalgrimmdkYour link to the Warrior Discord is not valid. If I remove the Wowhead-part, I get to a new page inviting me to join something and accept some terms... not quite trustworthy, so I closed it. Is it a legit site?Comment by Sas148Your link to the Warrior Discord is not valid.

Thank you!Comment by DediChanhttp://bfa.wowhead.com/class-changes-in-battle-for-azeroth : a link that will never give you upComment by AlakeiThancanAbsolutely unrelated question, but I've been trying to set up a transmog for my soon-to-be Draenor orc, and I can't find the Orc Clan heritage armor that's been datamined ; has it not been added to the BFA dressing Room?Comment by ColdleoWowhead needs a bright flashing gif that just says ALPHA: SUBJECT TO CHANGE on all of these articles. For all we know by Beta or Release Warriors could be tanking with wands.Comment by FixiSeems like Bliz wants to introduce mana management as a problem for locks to now have to deal with. Maybe locks will be the new arcane mages in BfA - constantly sucking an empty mana pipe since life tap no longer restores mana. Understand this is alpha, but feels like they really do want to dethrone "the king" and make 100% sure locks are not the top dps dog in BfA.Comment by SoifonSeems like Bliz wants to introduce mana management as a problem for locks to now have to deal with.

It still links to stuff from Blizzcon for the most part.

They should be like Fire and Frost mages now in terms of spellcasting costs, no longer inflated to account for Life Tap.
