New Skills and Trait: A master of blades

As usual, The Samurai is also coming with 3 new character specific skills and 8 brand new weapon skills. His playstyle resolves around slicing, cutting, stabbing and sometimes cursing his enemies with a new negative effect, Condemned, which is consumed by critical strikes to drastically amplify the damage caused!

Ascension: Cursed Shrine

We have envisioned the Samurai as a character that is both very good with blades but also spiritual, maintaining a certain connection to the ghostly realms of the occult, being able to tap into the manifestation of his own rage spirit to fight for him. Check it out!

The release update will bring a ton of new content to the game, including all remaining Artifact Powers for all characters and weapons in the game! So today we wanted to show you a couple of cool new artifact powers you can expect to see soon.

First, a little glimpse at the Death Knights Dragonflight, calling in an ancient bone dragon to lay waste to enemies in a line, leaving a powerful damaging area in its wake:
