So because everyone can do it, it means tinker can’t be a class?
We’re asking for a tech focused class. Someone who uses science and technology to fight. We have magic classes, we have warriors and rogues etc… We don’t have a tech class.
You don’t like the term tinker? That’s fine… Call it a technomancer… A gadgeteer… Whatever. We want a class that wields science and technology in combat. Robots, mechs, lasers, electrocution, bombs etc.
Getting hung up on this “it is a profession!!”. I’ve very clearly defined what people mean when they say they want a tinker.
You could find something like “The Tinker | Class Spotlight” on Youtube and derive some insights on how this class would play out in World of Warcraft.
I really want a class that can perform all 3 roles again.
Tinker easily fits that mold. I also enjoy the tech angle that is not represented in other classes aside from some cosmetics.
Same with necromancer , it needs overthinking to make it different then existing classes.
Necromancer also exists in games lore but it will be just demo lock or death knight.
Healing bots , cool idea but it will be just reskined resto shaman.
Bombs , minions for dps. That will be just surv hunter / dk, lock
Idea of mech suit tank is good but his kit needs lots of thinking too. Anything i can imagine is copy of another class atm.
And for gods sake no more support class , i still think augmentation shouldnt exist in the first place. 1 broke the game enough , we dont need another.
Look, I don’t think anyone here is talking for everyone or most, I think the “we” refers to the people in this forum who say they want it. There isn’t a place where we can get every single wow player’s opinion, so obviously there will be others who agree and disagree who we aren’t seeing.
So you want proof it is something people want? Despite me not being the first to mention it, and that people in this very thread have expressed a desire for it.
What, you want me to hand out a survey and collect the data before we can have a tinker? Get real please.
Again, i can just ask for stats as to why it is unpopular, and put you in the same position.
You want proof it is wanted, just look up the many other people who’ve mentioned it. I can promise you, people would want a tinker more than they want an evoker, because it is quite simply more warcraft than some made up fanfic dragon class.
Tinker is good but there is kinda a catch imo, to me tinker is a great idea dont get me wrong, but tinker/bard/necromancer are in my eyes only gonna be added when and if supports become an actual long lasting concept spread apart multiple classes and specs.
But that’s just me, I’d prefer something along the lines of bard first but tinkerer would be a very good addition for me atleast.
I’ve always thought that bards would be a great 4th spec for rogues considering that they are always kind of close to thieves in dnd. Also it would be a great excuse to have ranged rogues with bows:P.
Did any of you guys have MOP remix in mind when thinking about how a tinker Class could work. With all these Tinker Items to get different DPS profiles and one Unique Meta head slot. Is MOP Remix a Ginny pig for a potential new class ??
Don’t know if you realize it but it’s not an official Blizzard video and posted by some random guy
Not sure what you’re getting at with this pointless comment.
Honestly I agree that that would be a possibility, that instead of bringing in the new specs entirely, we would basically do another augmentation but just on a bigger scale and introduce both tinker and bard as support specs that way, although that would mean supports become a stapple which I know well enough is a very spicy topic on here
Oh it is a good idea. I don’t need to pretend to be talking for others to say that, unlike yourself.
It’s a hero unit in Warcraft 3 it’s fun to play with gazlowe in hots, mechs, bots and tech are cool and there is no class that represents that fantasy. That’s enough reason for me to want it.
I don’t care how you feel about it. It’s not your game.
