The expansion is nearly upon us! I really should see if there's a better time I could be aiming to get these written and posted by, because we so frequently have patches or big info drops immediately beforehand that distract me. Not that I can particularly blame all that for my inconsistent schedule - life just finds new ways of annoying me every week, it seems.

Conversation this week features a custom class! Always fun to see one of those - I wonder when the next official one will be?

Top of the Pops

We begin with the winner of the latest WCDC; Wailor and their Thunderbass!

They'll be giving us ideas for next week's theme, so stay tuned!

Center Stage

The Fan Community Spotlight couldn't be shining on a more fitting target this week - the Illusionist Class created by VexMagic!

I do love seeing custom classes, especially particularly flavour-driven ones like this one. It's a lot of work to commit to creating a whole class, but I think that it's actually easier now than ever to try your hand at it if you're interested - with the introduction of the Demon Hunter, we've been given a template for how to integrate a class into the game without needing to go back and fill in cards for every expansion that has ever existed, which I found was often the most daunting part of creating a new class.

Simply pick a year you want to start in and you're off! That could even be a helpful starting point for you, as you could use the expansions of that year as a guide for how to flavour your class - what kind of character would make sense to join in this first expansion, and how would they evolve over the year?
