Do you expect a brand new class in the next expansion?

I think it will called “Midnight” right? I believe theme sounds welcome to a brand new class. Do you actually expect one? and if you do, what type of class do you expecting to see?

Expect? No.

But i would love a void class.
Preferably one that can heal, do melee dps, and ranged dps. Maybe tank too.
(If im making up a class i get to be greedy when doing it)

No.

Because the new classes Blizzard have added over the years get increasingly less popular and become increasingly more niche in design.

Within the design framework Blizzard has for the class design in WoW, there really isn’t much opportunity to add new classes that aren’t just variations on existing ones, unless they are so radically new in design that they are borderline game-breaking.

So no, I don’t think Blizzard will add more classes in the coming expansions.

On the other hand it’s such an easy slap-on feature to help sell a new expansion because it draws curiosity and excitement, so who knows?

but evoker isnt niche.

Being a flying dragon that spews fire is pretty niche, I would say.

but is popular. i see a lot of them around.

Not really. They have to first figure out how to balance the existing classes now with hero talents. Also Aug at this point should be remade into a tank as they rather clearly dont want it to be a buff class anymore, and we have more than enough DPS classes already.

It’s one of the least popular classes of all.

it follows a trend normally
its either a

  • new talent tree /
  • spec overhaul /
  • new allied race /
  • new class /

id expect midnight to have more hero talents / spec overhauls
maybe a new allied race. but no new class

mmmhhhhh i have 10 pallys (8 unused). but i see a lot of em around

No new class please.

Just give us spec overhauls, and perhaps add additonal specs to the classes. I mean the shaman tanks, dh 3rd spec and so on.

Cant remember when i saw one last time other than standing afk in capital or leveling they are far more rare than mechagnomes of what i see.

I would rather see stuff like GW2 style elite specs that would change the whole playstyle of current classes.

My bet is that we randomly get 3-5 new specs in the middle of tww just like randomly got aug

I expect Illidan’s return, thus new races (orcs and draenei) and a third dh spec :star_struck:

I want those troll elf hybrid cave creatures as an allied race and would love if they got their own Druidic style class. Just having them be a normal standard Druid seems to be a disservice somehow.

Not that it fits the nightmare theme at all, but i always wanted to see a gunslinger class, hunters had monopoly on guns for far too long. A ranged class with maybe a dual wield spec with a new weapon type, 1 handed pistols, and a second spec for 2 handed guns.
And yes, i am aware that outlaw rogue exists, but that rng spec is more of a gimmick than anything.

All I want is another class that uses ranged physical weapons, kind of stupid that only hunters can make use of them.

While I’m still holding out for a tinker class, I’d rather they gave us more specs than classes tbh.

That would really up the variety for sure, but Blizzard would have a really hard time balancing it all. They struggle with what we got as it is.
