LAGWAR | GAMING'S BEST IN TOP NOTCH MEDIOCRITY

Bring the player, not the class. Blizzard has been pushing this mantra since the days of vanilla-WoW. Burning crusade brought the expansion of many class’s roles.

Last week’s influx of Cataclysm information has come and gone. We probably won’t get too much more information until right before Cataclysm hits (Blizzard is normally pretty hush-hush about these sorts of things).
