The Frozen Kingdom is the second expansion pack to World of Warcraft.

New races
No new races will be added in this expansion.

New class: Shadow Ranger
'''Available for Night Elf and Blood Elf players. Evolved from a legion of hunters-gone-bad, the shadow hunter is a decieving, self-centered and plainly evil badass. Formed by hunters who joined the lich king during the Scourge invasion, several of these have now returned to the good side.

The shadow ranger is a hunter/warlock hybrid. It possesses the same abilities as your standard hunter, exept that thay rely mainly on shadow damage instead of RAP. The ranger has most spells that you would find on a hunter, but with some of them removed or changed, a new talent tree, and a few new spells.

Changed spells
Arcane Shot = Shadow Dart (does shadow damage instead of arcane) Trueshot Aura = Moonwrath Aura, +200 shadow damage (at level 80) Aspect of the Hawk = Aspect of the Moon (gives shadow damage instead of RAP) Serpent Sting = Shadow Sting (does shadow damage instead of nature)
