I mean i am probably not the first or last one to come around with that but i would really like a gunslinger class.
Im not good at coming up with game mechanics but i was thinking one spec that goes for fast pace shooting with two guns one that goes for a more tactical aimed approach with just one gun.
I was thinking mid range like evokers so your not just a hunter with pistols and therefore they get some good mobility.
No idea what a thrid could to but dh shows us that there is no need for a third spec.
Wow is far past a high medieval fatasy setting with all the mechs and tech so why not some cowboyesk gunslinger. Maybe with a bit of magic/arcane tools and weapons.
It already looks super cool when outlaws use there pistol ability and i basically want a class around that. Sure i could play outlaw but those guys still need to play around stealth and energy and combopoints.
Okey thats my absolutely unhinged wish. Pls dont take it to serious if you dont like it and if you like it share your ideas of how and what a gunsling could be like
Gotta be frank here, I would love to see what blizzard would do with a gunslinger class, but i will be extremely annoyed if they merged it with hunters before giving outlaw some pistol love first haha
Game definitely needs another physical ranged user… bit daft that guns and bows are exclusively for Hunters, and likewise Glaives for DHs, taking up a drop slot in raids which sucks if none are present.
I actually also recently thought up a new class that uses guns, I call it the Legionaire, which I mostly based off the 7th Legion largely seen in BFA, it’d be more a Hero class with the idea being the character left the 7th Legion or the Horde equivalent.
I had 2 specs in my head one of which is more thought out than the other the first is Demolision which is mainly focused on the use of Grenade Launchers and various types of grenades, I mean with Cannons being a thing I can’t see how Gnomes and Goblins can’t just engineer portable hand held cannons.
Aside from the standard generic grenade that would be used in normal attacks and some abilities, there would be other forms of grenades for other abilities.
Fire: Burn Damage
Frost/Ice: Freezing Crowd Control
Wind: another Crowd Control that sends enemies back
Lightning: Chain strikes enemies
Azerite: Big AOE splash damage
Light: Healing
There could probably be room for Arcane, Void and Fel grenades but I don’t have any ideas on what sort of effects they would do.
The other spec I had in my head I can’t remember what I called it but this spec would focus on using Throwing weapons like Axes, Knives, Bombs, Javelines.
Gunslinger would be a fun class to play with, I’d also enjoy playing as a Legionaire too, just give me another gun class.
GW2 has dual pistol build for thief, there is a dual pistol build for guardian and there is even a mechanist specialization that has a pet mech and can throw grenades and rockets. Also you can transmog your pistols into crossbows and dual wield crossbows. So it’s all covered already by other games:P.
