I never done this, but there is time for everything I guess. I’m suggesting a new class. The idea came when I saw blood trolls, it proved to me again, that Blizzard can do something really cool. I think we all can agree that every new class has been a melee class, and it’s about time to get something ranged. I didn’t come up with specifics, because I think it is a waste of time, since everything that I will come up with will be blasted by devs and will be completely different, but the idea might intrigue the developers, and I hope the forum dwellers too.
I would call them Blood Mages. They utilize blood magic just like blood trolls, specialize in drains, dots and defense. I think anyone that played VTM:B and loved playing Tremere will agree with this. I just think that the idea of manipulating Blood like we saw in the game can be utilized to some very interesting class. I know I didn’t give much, but as I said I think it will be a waste of time, this could be the waste of time also, but I decided to throw the idea out there. So any fellow Tremere wants this?
It seems like a waste of a class to focus it on a specific minor theme like blood. Death Knights use blood as a spec and it looks legit, with blood drains and other abilities that have blood as a thematic.
That being said, I hope they add the Necromancer class who can have blood magic as one of their specialities.
As I said, I didn’t bother to come up with the specifics, since Blizzard rarely listen, and for a good reason. I just thrown the idea out there, I’m sure if the devs will find the idea appealing, they will introduce it. Every new class is a melee, I don’t have anything against the melees, but I think it’s about time to get something ranged. And every class shares some things with other classes, take affliction warlock and shadow priest for example.
It would be more accurate to say that warlocks borrowed the metamorphosis ability from Demon Hunters. But they had to give it back. They also borrowed an ability from Death Knights, Death Coil. So what are you talking about? We haven’t even gone into specifics and you are already talking about stealing. How many mages walked up to you claiming you stole their frost spec?
If you want a necromancer class, just go demonology warlock, and if you want blood mage, just go dk as people are saying.
A necromancer class would literally just be a re skin of demonology warlock, zombies instead of demons, and dk’s already use blood magic with drains and dots etc as one of their specs, only difference being it’s not ranged.
What other specs would you give to them? For arguments sake lets say they bring in a necromancer class with the ability to raise dead to fight for them (demonology and uh dk’s). They have a spec around that, cool, then what? A healer spec? wouldn’t work because necromancers specifically give life to the DEAD, not the living. What other dps specs could they have for a necromancer fantasy?
As for “blood mages” so they have one spec surrounding ranged blood magic, cool then what? Some weird blood magic healing? (blood dk’s)
honestly i dont want another dps spec to be added to the game right now. tank and healer specs are lack lustering and noone wants to play them so i d prefer a new healer and/or tank spec over a dps one.
Perhaps. But Blood Mages exist in the game and the lore.
Problem is they are mostly Blood Elves.
I can only come up with one that isn’t a Blood Elf from the top of my head, and that’s the gnome in the Badlands.
Personally I think Blood Magic would work best as a 4th spec for mages, rather than a new class.
