WoW: Dragonflight Players Think They've Discovered A Third Evoker Specialization

gamespot.com:

World of Warcraft: Dragonflight players combing through the game's upcoming 10.1 Embers of Neltharion update on the MMO's public test realm have discovered evidence that is leading some to believe a third specialization for the game's new Evoker class is coming.

Evokers, which is a class exclusive to the new dragon-like dracthyr race, were introduced as part of the Dragonflight pre-patch in October 2022. They currently come with two specializations for players to choose between, Devastation and Preservation, with the former focused on dealing ranged magic damage and the latter on healing allies and preventing damage. It's the second class in WoW, alongside Demon Hunter, that only sports two specializations, as opposed to the standard three.

Later in the quest chain, players are tasked with helping the black dragon Ebyssian subdue a boss-level enemy. Interestingly enough, the quest text mentions that players will need to help Ebyssian by healing or «boosting» him, or can alternatively deal damage to the boss to complete the quest.
