hope we get some ethereal stuff in TWW. Ethereals are cool

11.1 Undermine, Gallywix last boss
11.2 K'aresh, Dimensius last expansion boss, not Xal'atath

I think it's a lot more likely for those icons to be pertaining to an actual ethereal raid, rather than just the singular ethereal boss in season 1. We've seen all of the weapons coming, and none of them match those icons. Additionally, trinkets, rings, etc never have different colored icons for each difficulty, but weapons do have different colors for each difficulty. Since those icons don't match anything we see in season 1, I think it's quite possible that it's for 11.2.

Oooh this seems interesting! These topics feel like they could be fun themes for future endgame zones and related content in TWW. Curious to see where this goes!

Classic WoWhead, blatant spoiler-speculation posted without the slightest attempt to obfuscate it. Why does bloody Season of Discovery get better consideration with spoiler tags? It's just getting absurd now.

We'll see, but I doubt they'd have an actual Void Lord be the last boss for this expansion. I could see it for next expac though, but who knows.

Didn't we fight him in some quest way back in Legion?

Nope, you need to go even further back than that. Dimensius was a lowly quest boss in Netherstorm in TBC. Had Blizz anticipated that the ethereals would have a bigger role in the story later on, they likely never would have made that quest.

Obivously goblins are going to build a new Azeroth when this one explodes, which will then explode.

damn those weapons are badass

Comment by CapitanScortez

that ethereal infiltrating the close council of the nerubian's Queen An'surek, potentially for the sake of assassinating her

Guys this isn't a FROM Software game her main ability is literally a poison called Queensbane, we don't have to guess

Comment by SF12

Could be the items required for a skip to this boss in the first raid?

11.3?

Comment by Jazakfon

Yo you probably want to drop a 'potential spoiler' tag on this

Like I personally want to know, but there's tons of people who don't want to know the patch themes before the expansion even drops

Comment by Soeroah

I really hope this is a false flag. I wish they'd learn not to name their icons so obviously.

Comment by Sugarloaf

YESSSSSSSSS Ethereals! One of my fave races since TBC.
Stoked to see them get some attention.

11.3?

Nice joke. They don't do .3 patches anymore xD

Comment by Thirtien

Put a spoiler tag or potential spoiler tag, Jesus f-ing Christ. You guys already spoiled half of the expansion. A lot of people are only interested in class/system changes and guides but want to experience the next expansion fresh. Aberrus and Emerald Dream were spoiled just like this.

Comment by Trivelius

We already know the Undermine is going to be a new area in one of the patches of TWW. And since the void is going to be main protags of the next 2 expansions at minimum there should hopefully be entire Ethereal cities in the future as well with even more unique models.
