I hope at the very least it’ll be an ADVANCED tank. Preferably a healer and dps spec too.
Why not a Duck class or race?
Well wow dont have bard yet, it would combine small level of spells with few rogues abilities and it would have “musical auras” to boost small buffs, it would be most of the time not very useful but it would have awesome tmogs and be the only class with musical instruments as weapons like guitar or harp and so on
A mail wearing tank that can be melee or mid ranged. A Tinker of sorts.
I would settle and advocate for tinkerer with gadgets and wits as design for gameplay, it would make awesome gnomes and goblins, even dwarves. Macgyver would be the first dwarven tinkerer and name fitting for the dwarven accents and lore of the name for the gimmicky gameplay with gadgets and stuff
Tinkerer can easily fill all roles.
Would be cool if they could play the hurdy gurdy!
But they’re not going to delete Engineering just to make it even more complicated!
Rogue tank and shaman tank thats all we need
I really hope they dont add another class.
Its already to many to balance and choose from.
Agreed. Tinker would be stepping on engineering toes and too many people love that profession.
Hopefully it will be something completely new that we arent expecting, like a spellcasting tank or tanky healer.
Or Id also be up for adding a new spec to several classes. Shaman tanks, hunter pet tanks, support paladins, rogue healers or melee priests for example.
With hero talents you could really come up with some great combos.
That’s like saying you have an issue with Healers because we got Alchemy that has healing potions…
Why have Rogues when BS and Engineers can open locks…
Honestly getting tired of this stupid anti-Tinkerer argument because we got Engineering… as if they can’t mutually exist, nevermind the fact practically everything, just like Alchemy, have long cooldowns between uses of items and effects.
Would love a new tank class, especially if it’s a tinker in a mech-suit. Though I saw many cool ideas. A shaman tank spec would be cool too. Or a void class that spawns portals to tank damage
Honestly, instead of new Classes. I’d just love to see them expand on the existing classes, lots of them could do with a new spec. For instance:
Mage - Chronomancy, healing with Time Magic.
Warlock - Demon Form Tanking, like in Classic.
Rogue - Ranged Pistol based spec. If hunters can become melee, rogues can become Ranged.
Hunter - Medicin Man, Healer, allowing to use their survival knowledge to heal all allies with remedies and herbs.
Warrior - Gladiator, DPS, with Sword n’ Shield.
Death Knight - Necromancer, Ranged DPS, fully embrace the undead minions, shadow spells and raising more minions.
Stuff like that
Getting kind of tired of people wanting tinkerer to be a thing, stop pulling a dead horse man
I would like to see tinkerer, pls let us have this wish. But my tinkerer would not be tank it would be dps
That just sounds really lame tbh. There is room for an Axethrower ranged spec on warrior though!
Are we really gonna want a 4th dps spec on rogue? Why not something like Apothecary to heal, or a dodge-based tank
My suggestion would be Beast Rider as a tank. Medicine man has nothing to do with Hunter fantasy. You’re describing a Herbalist.
Hmm, makes kind of sense, but aren’t Warlocks Necromancers in the lore? Though cool-factor > lore, so I agree with this
That’s already how Evoker healing works, but it’s a cool idea Also, do mages really want healing buttons baseline? This means they’d lose tankiness like shamans. An alternative could be Spell Blade though.
Overall I think adding more specs is a nice idea, but I don’t like your specific examples
I think they should go big and add 5 new classes next expansion. I am sure, holy priests, brew master monks, havoc demon hunters and rogues are so tired of the constant attention blizzard gives them, that they rather see blizzard focus on new classes, rather than pay attention to them.
I mean, priests have 2 healing specs.
But we’ve yet to see 2 tank specs on the same class
Some sort of class with flamethrower. Tank, healer, dps!
