In shadow ranger you need to work what this role’s spec’s you can’t just say damage and melee and ranged. About the customs there is already dh’s we have.

About the gameplay changes hearthstone will be good

i ll be honest. as long as the new class wont be heal and/or tank, im absolutely not interested in it. we already got too many dps classes anyways.

First of all; ‘a few thoughts’?! Lies!

Meh, no thanks. We do NOT need anymore edgelord classes.
Tinker or bust.

Lol, no way.

I really, really don’t think this will happen ever again. I’m expecting only allied races in WoW’s future.

Also; I don’t see a new class AND race happening in the same expansion like that.

Would be nice.

Already doesn’t if you change to a toy version.

Wut?! This seems absolutely useless.
At least give it the ability for the factions to do content together. :blush:

We need a New Caster With a Healer Offspecc. or maybe even go as creative as a Cloth Tank. or a Plate/mail Caster.

We have too many Melee DPS, and tbh a Shadow Ranger will just be a hunter without a Pet, and while that’ll appeal to some its Not exactly bringing something new to the table.

Unlike if we got a Illusionist which works Through Decoys and Stuff and Maybe even carries a Tank Specc. or something creative which the game doesnt have right now.

Cloth Tank with a Scythe. we defintly dont have this yet c:

Saberons sounds great to be honest and embassy idea IS controversial yet innovative.

Shout louder and blizz may hire you dude :slight_smile:

bumping your own post with compliments huh OP :joy: so controversial and innovative

and what exactly would be the purpose of said embassy?

13

Dark ranger is definitely coming, but this OP is very boring to read. Even if the ideas were good, the dry, methodical way in which they were written simply makes you lose all hype for it.

Mechagoblin will be as much a success as mechagnome. Of course it’ll be cooler, because it’s Horde, but not cooler than real goblins.

just what we need another class they can’t balance they can barely fix the 36 or so specs they have

Someone said sth nice, so it should be me, right?
You are the perfect internet user buddy

???
You mean Jinyu/Ankoan right?

I know I’m not a good writer so maybe a little help to polish them?

I actually mean sth like a monkeylike small sized race as a counterpart to Vulpera.
Only reason I said Hozen, they are the only intelligent monkey race in the game but Hozens look odd, a better looking monkey race would be nice, I think.
Also, Jinyu/Ankoan is actually not a bad idea at all. Maybe I should add it to the first/original post of the topic. Thank you for the idea, mate :slight_smile:

*EDIT: I added Ankoan

18

no, someone without any prior posts (and no posts since) said something incredibly nice about your post - so yes, its definitely you

but who knows, maybe blizz will hire you!

About your theory, have you seen how many posts do I have and since when?
Everyone here is me except you. I’ve been planning on this for years, you got me, hands down :slight_smile:
Btw about the embassy, you made me think over and ı think duels would be nice to start with

20

glad to be of help, sorry to ruin your master plan :wink: duels would make the embassy more useful and it could also help to introduce ambassador-like quests etc to talk to the opposite faction

Btw I know Vulpera is counter to Mechagnome but if sth like Mechagoblin becomes real, Vulpera will need a new counterpart. That’s where Hozen comes in
