So recently blizzard has made a survey for what would be some new classes / hero specs made for the future, and wanted the opinion of players.
Now there is another forum post about this: So no one going to talk about the leaked document for class ideas by Blizz - #82 by Amonet-ravencrest
And what I want to talk about is that the new classes include the necromancer and the witch, two classes that could very well steal abilities from the warlock class, especially the witch because they specifically said the witch is going to use curses and have fiends they can summon, and the definition of warlock is a male practitioner of witchcraft, which is why I’m seeing this as being the same thing
new classes are fun and all but I do not want another demon hunter situation.
It’s important for new classes to be unique and different.
Now necromancer isn’t exactly like demonology but I would imagine they will have the same mechanics, one spell that summons a bunch of skeletons instead of imps and a cooldown that summons
If they release necromancer I’m sure all unholy death knights will reroll, but I personally think necromancers are also very cool and I might give it a shot, especially if they can transform into a lich form.
I played unholy death knight a little and I don’t think it gives kel’thuzad vibes, especially because it’s melee, if only they make it a hero talent where unholy death knights gain 30 yards of range and deal more damage when they’re far to compensate for weapon damage, that would be perfect I think, because the class isn’t that much different from unholy to be fair.
I would rather they release those as hero talents and the others like the tinker, gunner or bard as new classes because they are actually different and there’s nothing similar already in the game.
