At long last, Mythic has finally confirmed the last of the High Elf careers for Warhammer Online. After months of speculation and lots of hints, they've finally confirmed that the White Lion class will round out WAR's robust list of player careers. The White Lion will be fulfilling the melee DPS niche on the side of order and will focus on the dynamics between the hardy White Lion and his war lion pet.

Unlike his Destruction counterpart the Squig Herder whose Squigs are relatively expendable balls of sentient fungus, the White Lion's bond with his pet starts at level one, and there will be a good degree of customization available so that each player's pet will be relatively unique. War lions will grow and change as their master grows in power, and will even be capable of fighting in a feral capacity if you fell his master in battle first.

We're excited to see the last of WAR's careers fall into place. Here's hoping we're only a few steps away from the open beta!

I don't think we need to be as worried about too many players running around as High Elves. What we really need to worry about is the coming Greenskin invasion.

p.s. Gobbos is da best!

I doubt we'll need to worry. They aren't Hunters. They don't use bows, and they don't skip around like little fairies on the battlefield. Even as an Elf-critic for the most part, I gotta say, the White Lion is a pretty great part of the Warhammer High Elves. Plus they're melee fighters- not RDPS.

I mean, a High Elf barbarian. Come on. Games Worskhop is the only company that can use those words in the same sentence and make it awesome.

I don't know if I would call squigs "sentient"...

I kinda agree with the above. little WoW kids will only jump on it though at first, but when they realize it isn't top dps and they aren't ganking like they want to it'll top off. I think most of the nubs will be dark elves personally.
