I wish so, but at this point i have little hope. The war within was a good one for it as well.
I just think the devs don’t want to make it. Though the fact that it’s not a hero talent gave me some hope they might be saving it for later.
But man… i am sick of waiting for the Tinker class. The devs are really stubborn. It’s the most requested class, it’s a core fantasy of warcraft with hero representation (Gazlowe, Mekkatorque) it makes complete sense and it’s a fantasy the classes are missing but cause we got a half assed mediocre profession we can’t have it? It’s annoying.
I would delete engineering in a blink to get a real class that can use gadgets and tech abilities (and maybe a mech). It’s so cool. Why don’t they add it already?! Argh!
I’m looking forward for this moment, although I really preferred if hero talents were a standalone spec… a support spec like AugEvo. Everybody can be a support class and no more imbalance.
Seeing how for a long time classes were based on warcraft 3 units/heroes i think people were right to think something like tinker or darkranger would become a thing. It also exists lorewise and would be a pretty unique feeling class with options for all roles.
I think it would be pretty interesting . a mech tanking specc with options to change mech like with druid form customisation. A support specc based on using different gadgets and a damage specc based on guns and explosions.
I hardly believe an entire class will be made from that idea, but if they ever create sub-classes/themes, I’d love to add ‘Tinker’ to my Tech-Paladin. I mean, something that would allow me to pilot this and attack mobs instead of being just a mount.
